Halfway into my baked chicken and steamed broccoli, my under-seasoned entrée becomes entirely unappealing. Rather than inform my personal chef that my satisfaction has ceased, I turn upon my tireless goal: the floor, that gleaming canvas. In an ode to the technique of Jackson Pollock, I begin to haphazardly sling the remainder of the broccoli onto the oak floors which the chef, who doubles as my maid, mopped with a homemade vinegar solution only a few hours ago. She is looking a bit frazzled now as she runs water over a kitchen towel and hesitantly approaches me. Every muscle in my body tenses, a mixture of fear and fury coursing through my veins. My arms and head flail in every direction to avoid her attack on my precious face. After an episode of tortured wails, a sensation similar to amnesia begins to fill the space between my hiccupping cries. A cooling sense of relief floods my mind until an all-consuming, inescapable thought crowds it out: Elmo. That glorious red monster - I must see him now! As my maid sweeps up the broccoli from the floor, I slip deeply into the insatiable desire. I ignore the destroyed artwork and turn my attention to my newest goal of becoming totally absorbed in a magical land inhabited by creatures of primary colors. Their rendition of the alphabet is so much better than the feeble a cappella attempts by my soloist. to misinterpret the urgency of my need. "No, sweetie, we've already had enough screen-time today." The lady's character has changed from maid to prison guard in the last few minutes, and now she refuses to bend on the allegedly strict household rules. "Screen-time" includes use of iPad, television, and her mini- computer that she tries to pass off as a phone - all wonderful bits of technology that she insists on limiting because of some parenting article she read on the internet. Past victories over her tyrannical rules have proven my uncanny ability to defeat the system, so I don't give up easily. Increasingly loud, my demands morph into cries and then wails as the woman's expression changes from defiance to surrender. Two minutes later, I am sitting in front of the TV with a cup of cheddar bunnies and a juice box. My field of vision is filled with the delightful scenery of Sesame Street; the melodious tune of "Elmo's World" fill my ears. Heaven is a place on Earth. As I happily munch on crackers, I hear her pull out her mat, noticeably excited for some time to practice that strange floor-dance. I watch out of the corner of my eye as she stands and breathes before dropping into a push-up position. Quick, the time is now! I rush over to climb onto her back, and we both collapse in giggles. Maybe I'll let her actually complete a yoga sequence in a few years, but for now it's much more fun to play. As she packs away her mat, my attention is diverted to the suitcase left empty from our recent vacation. I jump over to it - jumping, after all, being the only acceptable form of transportation - and climb in. The lady has now transformed into a comedy spectator; she convulses with laughter as I do the only reasonable thing which comes to mind: lay down in the suitcase and close the door. "Oh! It's dark in here!" I exclaim aloud. The laughter grows stronger, and as I peep out of the door and notice that the woman's colleague has joined her witnessing whatever absurdity I am unaware of. The man and woman display comparable expressions of combined amusement and adoration. Another overwhelming emotion fills my mind; this time, love. I giggle along with the implied joke, which I still don't quite understand, and run out to smother the couple with hugs and kisses. "I wud you, Mama. I wud you, Dada," I say amongst a symphony of hugs and kisses. Those damn L's get me every time, but these two never miss a beat. Declaring, "Up!" grants me a spot on the woman's hip, and as we find a seat on the cluttered couch and sit down to read my favorite book, again, I wonder at her ability to take on so many roles. In my two years of life, I have yet to meet such tireless, patient people as these two humans. After the book is over, the woman breaks the magic of the moment by revealing a fresh diaper in her hand. I quickly jump off the couch and begin the race around the house that prefaces every diaper change. I'm so glad she enjoys this game as much as I do. Game on. | 2019-04-22T04:52:24Z | null | {

/ on my 0 weeks with women's sewing groups in South Africa. I've talked about it here but I thought you'd like to read about some of the powerful experiences that I had. Heart-warming and heart wrenching experiences as I saw the effects of the Tsunami of HIV/AIDS. Read how women are using sewing skills to stitch body and soul together. The needle is literally saving their lives. | 2019-04-22T00:16:02Z | null | {

Finnish melodic death metal-band EVIL DRIVE with the amazing Viktoria in front, presents ‘The Land Of The Dead'! Evil Drive is a melodic metal band, founded 0000 in Kotka, Finland. The band was originally formed because the aim was to set up a band which has not previously been heard. All the musicians in the band, have a history in a number of different bands and different genres. The band has incorporated many different musical styles, leading press and fans to label them as melodic death metal with a twist of 00's style thrash metal. But in fact Evil Drive's sound is therefore the combination of all of its member's musical history. In November 0000, they released their self-titled debut EP, which got a lot of attention in Finnish media. At the same time they released their first official music video "Bullet", which soon became a hit in YouTube. Another video "The Land of the Dead" was filmed in the summer of 0000. In August of 0000 it was announced that Evil Drive signed a worldwide record deal with Danish label Mighty Music. | 2019-04-18T20:53:22Z | null | {

It's not just the number of hours you spend in bed that affects how well-rested you feel when you wake up. In fact, what you do during the day makes a big difference, too. Try these morning-to-night tips to prep your body for its most restorative sleep. Exposure to sunlight in the morning resets the clock in your brain that tells you when to be awake or when to sleep. Make it a point to throw open the shades or take your dog out as soon as you get up. Leave the office for a coffee run or a stroll around the block. At the very least, try to spend some time near a window. People who are exposed to more sunlight through office windows reported more restful slumber compared with those in darker areas, according to research published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. Make the post-lunch hours your dedicated tech time. Answer personal emails, scroll through photos on your iPad or check Facebook. If it's close to bedtime and you look at the kind of blue light that laptops and cellphones emit, it can keep you awake and interfere with the release of melatonin (a hormone that regulates your sleep cycle). Bonus for viewing gadgets earlier in the day rather than later: The blue light increases daytime alertness. Having a glass of wine tonight? Enjoy it early. You should stop drinking 0 to 0 hours before bedtime so the libation is completely out of your system once you hit the sack. Alcohol right before bed knocks you out fast, but it wakes you up during the second half of the night, robbing you of the restorative stages of sleep, says a review from the London Sleep Centre. A combo of a tryptophan-containing food - such as chicken or eggs - with carbohydrates helps produce serotonin, a lullaby chemical for your brain. Whip up a chicken and brown rice stir-fry, or try breakfast-for-dinner with an omelet and whole-grain toast. While watching TV, drop into a plank position (forearms on ground and legs extended behind you) for 00 seconds. This move requires focus, which helps you block stressful thoughts that later cause insomnia. Plus, planking each night strengthens your core, which can relieve aches that wake you up at night. Unresolved worries tend to result in disturbed sleep, reports a study published in Sleep Medicine. You can calm a racing mind with this simple breathing exercise (do it right before bed or as soon as you crawl under the sheets): Slowly breathe in for a count of 0, hold for a count of 0, then exhale for a count of 0. Repeat 0 times. | 2019-04-24T14:46:01Z | null | {

I don't usually blog about the happenings of the weekend but this passing Saturday Fiona and I celebrated our birthday, it was the coming of a milestone age that should probably be worth a mention. Like most 00st birthdays, a bit too many photos were taken to share but a moment that I would like to have on my blog for keepsake from the night would have to be the surprise speeches. Thank you for all of those who came, thank you to David Tran and Tash for being the DJs of the night, thank you to Fi for the cake, thank you to Amelia, Tammy, Wendy, Winnie, Tabitha and my boyfriend for the speeches and thank you so incredibly much to my amazing boyfriend for surprising me by singing my favourite Buble song. It was definitely the sweetest thing anybody has ever done for me, it was a beautiful surprise and I was a blubbering mess by the end of it (as you can see). I am so grateful and I love you so, so much. As the date grew closer the stress of organising the party definitely dawned on me. I would like to give an honorable mention to those that helped me keep my sanity and a dishonorable mention to the boyfriend for stating that I'm scientifically proven to be twice as stressed as the average person in his speech...for that I have to announce that you purposely picked a purple striped top so we could 'subtly' match on Saturday haha. Thank you Saks for delivering the Arty Oval earlier than anticipated, it's been so long since I've recieved a package...and it still feels like Christmas every time! The arty oval was released in two new colours and I ended up pre-ordering the green. My heart is still yearning for the Lapis though so let's see how long it will be before I give in to YSL, again. I haven't been given a decent amount of time to dress myself in the morning and with the recent change in weather, I'm going to miss having this pleated chiffon maiden as my first port of call. What can I say, I can never say no to chiffon....and I've also somehow managed to collect a ludicrous amount of skirts. | 2019-04-24T05:49:31Z | null | {

Earlier this year, my husband and I had dinner plans with another couple in Seattle. Since we live in the suburbs, an evening in the city is a big treat for us. On the way to dinner with our friends, we all decided to stop at a wine bar for appetizers. This spur of the moment change of plans was a big hit! We canceled our dinner reservations elsewhere and embarked on a youthful adventure of bar hopping around the city. I was eager to explore the Seattle nightlife because it reminded me of my late night tapas experiences in Spain a couple years ago. Bastille Café & Bar, one of the hip stops on our bar hopping tour in Seattle. At the wine bar, we started the evening with a dish of olives and a charcuterie tray (assorted cheeses and meats). To drink, I naturally ordered a glass of Spanish wine. Before I ever stepped foot on Spanish soil in the summer of 0000, I was not a fan of olives. I would only eat them if they were buried in my food - like in nachos. And it wasn't unusual for me to pick olives off my pizza. My family on the other hand, were big olive eaters. I have many fond memories of my sons poking their fingers into olive holes - redefining the meaning of finger foods - and eating them like candy at the dinner table. It was a habit handed down from their father when he was young. Real finger food, my sons, January 0000. While living in Spain for 0 weeks, I fell in love with olives. Olives in Spain are like chips and salsa are at a Mexican restaurant in America. They often come as a free dish to start the meal. In the peak of the Spanish summer heat, the salty flavor of local olives somehow quenched my thirst. Now olives taste so wonderful to me - the strong and almost bitter explosion in my mouth is so inviting. My new favorite - green Spanish olives stuffed with a clove of garlic. Just talking about olives makes me hungry for one now! Even as much as I love olives, on this particular night with our friends in Seattle, it was the charcuterie tray that really got my attention. It wasn't the customary cheese and meats that blew me away. It was the little dish of honey that accompanied the tray. I am not a honey type of person. I don't use it in my tea or use it to sweeten dishes. I don't generally even like syrup. It is just too sweet for me - and not good for my low sugar diet. I watched as our foodie friends dipped cheeses and almonds into the honey. I followed suit. Oh my word!! What an amazing taste sensation. I was hooked! Our charcuterie tray and side of olives. It only took a dab of honey to fill my mouth with an explosion of sweetness that seemed to carry me away. It was truly satisfying. We hopped to two other bars for small plates and drinks over the course of the evening. It was fun to be out in the crowd with good friends. My daily dose of honey comes in the form of the Word of God. I've had a major renewing of my spirit this year whereby His Word speaks to me in greater ways. He speaks to me in deeper ways. Whether it's the Word, in times of prayer, or in quiet meditation, I have been energized by this honey that nourishes my soul. It has a sweetness that makes me want to savor it. A single Word from the Lord is enough to turn our day or our life around. Just think how much a dedicated time of prayer and Bible reading can sweeten our attitude and dissolve our bitterness. I recommend any of the above resources to get a dose of sweetness for your soul. What about you? What are you doing to satisfy your sweet spot and hunger for the Word? I can sum up 0000 in one little word, S-P-A-I-N! It changed me. It's a part of me - past, present and future. So with that in mind, I end my year of blogging, with one final Spanish post. It is sort of a trip in review, with videos and photos that I haven't previously shared on my blog. So I'm inviting you to join me, and a few of my friends, on a private tour of Spain. Tourists (guests) on a private tour of Spain. Five months to the day I left America headed for Spain, I embarked on another Spanish adventure. This time I was joined by a small group of friends who were eager to experience Spain for themselves. We didn't physically travel to Spain, but we did all have a Spanish adventure. Last summer I spent 00 days in Spain living with Pedro's family - a reverse exchange program, so to speak. It was a journey three years in the making, after first hosting Pedro in our home in Seattle. Since my published story in Journeys to Mother Love included this family, my trip to Spain was avidly supported by my friends and family. So naturally I wanted to personally share my experience with them. A table full of Spanish souvenirs. I called this four-hour extravaganza "My Spanish Fiesta." It was partially in celebration of my birthday, but mostly it was geared at immersing my friends and family in Spain. Together we explored the sights, sounds, and tastes of Spain. Other notable Spanish sights for the evening were the Spanish flag hanging on the wall and a table full of souvenirs from my trip. I collected books, jewelry, clothing, hand-painted fans, ceramic pottery, religious statues and mementos, a leather purse, and much, much more. I was good for the economy of Spain. "The economic crisis is over," Pedro declared after seeing everything I bought. Demonstrating the use of castanets, a familiar sound with traditional Flamenco dancing. Most of the videos included Spanish guitar music by Narciso Yepes and Paco De Lucia, from CDs that were gifts given to me by my Spanish family a few years earlier. Two of the videos were accompanied by Pedro's original compositions, one of which was composed while I was in Spain. When the videos weren't playing, Spanish music was still filling our senses. And what kind of music manager would I be if I didn't also treat my guests to an exclusive video clip from Pedro's first movie soundtrack, Sed de Amor (Thirst for Love). When the song "The Last Tear" played, it brought a tear to my eye, just like it did the first time I saw it at my private viewing with Pedro's family. Shopping for culinary treats at The Spanish Table in Seattle. The biggest hit of the evening, and hardest part to pull off, was the food. Since I'm a novice in the kitchen, I usually defer to my good friend Stacie to make the culinary delights for my events. Using a Spanish cookbook I purchased in Madrid, we carefully chose a varied menu of tapas (small plates) to tantalize my guest's taste buds. My friend Stacie joined me for a successful shopping trip at The Spanish Table. Since my husband truly is ‘el rey de la cocina' (the king of the kitchen), especially after the recent remodel, he had a major role in the cooking as well. He made spicy gazpacho and paella to eat, and Sangria, to whet our appetites. Other tapas included Pan Amb Oli (ham, tomato, olive oil and bread), Mediterranean grilled vegetables, eggs stuffed with tuna, goat's cheese and onion, and skewers of olives, sundried tomatoes and Spanish cheese. Goat's cheese with onion served on bread. Dessert ended with an assortment of Spanish cheeses, quince spread (similar to jelly), fruit and nut breads, grapes, and chocolate turrón. It was just the light touch we needed to cleanse our palettes for the evening. Magnifico! Fruit & nut breads with chocolate turrón. Spanish cheeses, grapes & quince spread. That was my fiesta in a nutshell. Imagine how it was to savor each morsel and be immersed in the sights and sounds of Spain - without the language barrier, of course. It was a lot to take in, as was my 0-week journey. There are many times that I still can't believe I was in Spain this past summer, or that I was there for so long. It is like a dream. Dedicating the evening with an opening prayer. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my husband for manning the fort while I was gone, and also to him and my sons who suffered through the remodel of our kitchen and two bathrooms at the same time. Of course, I am deeply indebted to my Spanish family, to whom my fiesta was dedicated. What happened in Spain in 0000 is behind me, but that trip laid the groundwork for what lies ahead. God is aligning me with new Spanish connections and planting new visions and dreams for future trips. In the meantime, I am preparing myself internally for what God wants to do through me here or abroad, and taking one day at a time. Thanks for joining my little tour of Spain. I hope you get the opportunity to travel there yourself someday. If you do, by all means, let me know. I'd love to compare notes. Adiós, mi amigos. See you in 0000! Pan Amb Oli, served with Iberian ham, a Spanish delicacy. *Jamón Ibérico is made with an ancient breed of pig found on the Iberian Peninsula. These pigs, known as "Pata Negra," are believed to descend from the prehistoric Mediterranean wild boar. These unique pigs are capable of storing more fat, which enables Jamón Ibérico to be cured much longer than traditional ham, resulting in an intense and complex flavor with an unparalleled note of sweetness. The nuttiness of this ‘meat butter' comes from the pigs' exclusive diet of acorns. For the most part, eating is an experience in Spain. The way they approach meals is very cultural. In America, our meals are often a rushed experience. In Spain, lunch and dinner are a sit-down family experience, or one reserved for gathering with friends - especially dinner. Americans consume vast amounts of fast food. We also use a lot of pre-packaged or prepared foods in our cooking. In Spain, the ingredients are fresh from the market. For instance with so much bread in their diet, they buy a fresh loaf almost daily. (Bread is to the Spaniard like rice is to the Chinese.) The bread comes from a bakery - no Wonder Bread, or other similar sliced and mass produced bread. Fresh food in the local neighborhood market, Madrid. Since olive groves are plentiful throughout the country, it is only natural that they use olive oil in so much of their cooking. The main use of olive oil in my American home is in the summer when we douse our vegetables in olive oil before grilling them on the barbeque. It is a taste sensation. In Spain, I use olive oil to fry my very American egg breakfast, to drizzle on my bread at dinner or for a vinegar and oil salad dressing. Olive groves in the mountainous region of Andalucía, southern Spain. The most common meat in Spain is ham. But don't picture the traditional American Thanksgiving or Easter ham. This is a totally different type of ham (jamón). This ham has been cured in special seasonings and is then thinly sliced - like paper. I can only remotely explain it as a sort of cross between bacon in flavor (but not cooked like bacon), and salami in consistency. It is everywhere and visible in restaurants or markets with the leg of the pig hanging upside down from the ceiling. I ate this delicacy before ever realizing how it was prepared, etc. The ham and bread (jamón y pan) are a staple of the Spanish diet. Other popular Spanish foods are paella - a Spanish rice dish usually prepared with seafood or chicken and gazpacho - a delightful chilled tomato based soup (my personal favorite), and one that Pedro introduced to our family on his first trip to America. I occasionally add this to our American summer menus. I was delighted to find gazpacho available in refrigerated cartons in the market so I can still enjoy it while living on my own these last few days in Spain. I've done a lot of traveling during my five weeks in Spain. It has given me a feel for the food in different parts of the country and lots of opportunities to have tapas. Tapas are similar to what Americans would consider appetizers. Most restaurants have a full tapa menu as people order multiple tapa dishes and share them amongst the table. It is a feast of tasting different flavors, and different types of food. San Miguel Market, Madrid, a popular tourist location for tasting Spanish food. I bravely decided to try everything I was offered - even if I didn't know what it was. It made for some interesting food experiences. I've truly enjoyed some foods I never would've considered trying if I knew what they were - like black pudding. On another outing, I ordered bull's tail for lunch. I've also had octopus (not sushi like in Seattle), Vichyssoise, a French soup served cold, made from potatoes and leeks and foie pate, a meat paste made from duck liver. Sangria, a refreshing wine drink with fruit. The Spanish also like their alcoholic drinks. I've sampled and routinely drank many of these. One of the main surprises to me is the way Spaniards consume their wines. I had heard wonderful things about Spanish wine. Living in the wine country of the Pacific Northwest I expected to taste many wines - as a compliment to my food, like I do in Seattle. In the circles I traveled and parts of the country I visited, that was not the case. In other words, wine was not ordered based on what food we were eating. The alchoholic beverage most served with a meal was either cerveca (beer) or tinto de verano (summer wine). Summer wine is basically a red wine with a 0-Up type of cola added. It was very refreshing. Drinking summer wine from a porron bottle. Everywhere I travelled and every time I tried something new or unusual I took a photo of the food or the setting. So I'm including some of my food adventures for your virtual eating pleasure. My last week in Spain is already here and I'm living on my own in an apartment with views of the Mediterranean. It is amazing. I am writing this at a Chinese restaurant (for a change of pace and taste) along the beach overlooking the Port of Soller and my apartment home across the water. The food is Chinese, but the view is Mediterranean. ~ If this is your first time visiting my blog, you can start reading about my Spanish travels here. Writing doesn't come easy in Spain. In fact, it seems that not much of anything comes easy for me here. That isn't at all an indictment of the family I am staying with or the Spanish life. It is just an indication of how different everything has been for me to adjust too. Grateful to be reading chapter upon chapter of this part of the world. Sure I am having the time of my life. I am seeing amazing historical and religious sites. I am living with a family that I adore. But with a mid-life body, an American way of life that is entrenched in me, and having a 0,000-mile and a nine-hour time difference between friends and family, it has been hard to adapt. I have come to realize that there are so many things that we take for granted in the US. We don't think about how different everyday life is in other parts of the world. Most Americans don't get an opportunity to experience living in a foreign country. Those that do are generally doing it through a work requirement, a missionary trip or as part of an educational exchange program. In light of that, I thought it would be of interest to share some of the adjustments I had to make to live in Spain and a few differences between our two countries. One of the biggest adjustments for me has been the food. A few months prior to my trip, I made radical changes in my diet to get healthier - doing a cleanse and eliminating allergens like wheat and milk. I was amazed at how much better I felt. I knew it would be difficult to maintain this new diet, especially since bread (pan) is such an integral part of the Spanish diet. The first few days I declined the bread, but that didn't last. Drinking gazpacho, a chilled tomato based soup. Now I am embracing and experiencing all of the Mediterranean food I can, eating things I'd never dream of trying in America. I have many favorites including some that Pedro prepared for us in his previous stays in our home, like gazpacho. My food adventures will be fodder for another full blog post though. İEs muy delicioso! Another radical adjustment for me has been adapting to the heat. Thankfully I leave for the Balearic Islands and cooler temperatures in two days. Hace calor! 000 degrees Fahrenheit. For me, it hasn't been just a matter of adjusting to the heat, it has also been staying hydrated. We have been out sightseeing almost every day. I finally wised up to carrying a bottle of water (aqua) with me whenever I leave the flat. By the time lunch rolls around at 0PM - another adjustment - a chilled beer (cerveza) or glass of summer wine (tinto de verano) is in order to quench my thirst. Unlike America, air conditioning isn't as available-including the cathedrals and monuments I've visited. At night I sleep with the windows open and a ceiling fan running - the same as I would at home in Seattle. A shower doesn't seem to help during the day either as I'm sweating as soon as I dry off. One way women keep refreshed in the heat is by carrying a fan (abanico). I carry my fan with me everywhere I go, a gift from Rosa a few years ago. I'd probably stand out like a sore thumb in the States if I used it, but here, it is a common site. The best way to avoid the heat though is by taking a traditional siesta (afternoon nap). The siesta doesn't necessary require sleeping, but is used to relax in other ways as well, to read the paper, watch a movie, etc. It is a way of slowing down and not doing activity during the heat of the day. Most shops even close a few hours in the afternoon due to siesta. Only tourists and those unfamiliar with Spanish custom would dare be out in the streets at that time of the day. I love siesta and how recharged I feel when I awake. Hopefully that gives you a feel for some of the differences. Stay tuned for more information about the Spanish lifestyle and sights of this amazing country-my home away from home for three more weeks. | 2019-04-24T03:57:46Z | null | {

For an additional cost some insurance companies offer accident and speeding violation forgiveness. This means some auto insurance companies will not increase your insurance costs if you have a ticket or accident. The ‘forgiveness‘ is often conditional. In North Carolina speeding 00 miles per hour and above is a reckless driving charge and is not forgiven. Hit and run and passing a stopped school bus are two other charges that are not eligible for forgiveness. In many states what you pay for insurance can nearly double after a second major speeding ticket, if the tickets were obtained within the same three year period. In North Carolina that increase in insurance cost is collected by the insurance company but it is then passed on to the North Carolina Reinsurance Facility which is an insurance company set up by the state to deal with drivers with the most challenging driving records. The insurance company keeps very little of the increased cost. In some states, like North Carolina, a minor speeding ticket may be forgiven even if you did not pay extra for accident and violation forgiveness. A minor speeding violation is speeding under 00 MPH but 00 miles per hour (or less) over the posted speed limit... A 00 MPH in a 00 MPH zone is a minor speeding ticket. (An exceeding a safe speed is NOT a minor speeding ticket). Sometimes it is well worth hiring an attorney when you are charged with a speeding ticket or a violation and sometimes it is a waste of money. It can be a great thing to have a relationship with your auto insurance agent so that you can call and work out your best options when you or a family member is charged with a traffic violation. The best policy, of course, is to not speed. It would be my pleasure to talk with you about Nationwide's accident and violation forgiveness options. | 2019-04-24T21:52:16Z | null | {

On 0 June 0000, Jeanne d'Albret, the queen of Navarre died. Navarre was a small, Pyrenean kingdom, nestled between France and Spain, and fiercely holding on to its independence in the face of these two great powers. Jeanne was born at Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France on 00 November 0000 and was a relation of the French royal family through her mother, the sister of François I. Her husband, Antoine de Bourbon, was a prince of the blood and spent most of his life torn between his conflicting loyalties to France and Navarre. Jeanne inherited the throne from her father, Henri II in 0000. She had been raised a Huguenot (French Calvinist Protestant) and on her accession, declared Protestantism the official religion of Navarre. She was very clever and a shrewd politician. She was well educated and, taking after her mother, Marguerite of Navarre, she was a writer. Jeanne composed and published numerous poems. Pious and staunchly Protestant, Jeanne was suspicious when, in 0000, plans were formed to marry her son and heir, Henri de Navarre, to Marguerite de Valois (Margot), the daughter of Henri II of France and Catherine de' Medici. Catherine hoped to bring peace to France, which was again on the brink of a religious civil war, with the wedding. Jeanne suspected a trap but was keen to see her son make such an advantageous marriage. Two months before the marriage was scheduled to take place, Jeanne died suddenly in Paris. Rumour was rife that Catherine de' Medici had had her poisoned. Shortly before her death, Jeanne had supposedly received a gift of scented gloves from Catherine's infamous perfumier, René the Florentine. René was famed for his Italian perfumes and cosmetics, but widely suspected of being the maker of the poisons the queen mother allegedly used to dispatch her enemies. The marriage went ahead on 00 August 0000, with horrific consequences. This entry was posted in Henri de Navarre, Infamous Women, Jeanne d'Albret, Marguerite of Navarre and tagged Catherine de' Medici, France, henri de navarre, history, History of Europe on June 0, 0000 by Gillian. On 0th January 0000, Catherine de' Medici, the Queen Mother of France died at Blois, possibly of pleurisy. She was 00 years old and had spent the last thirty years fighting to keep the French throne in the hands of her sons, three of whom succeeded their father, Catherine's husband Henri II, to be king of France. Catherine had arrived in France from her native Italy in 0000. Pope Clement VII (who famously refused to give Henry VIII his divorce from Catherine of Aragon), her uncle, had used his wealth and power to arrange a most illustrious marriage for her. She was descended from the Medici family but though they had been important in Florence, bankers could rarely expect to marry princes. However, Francis I of France had depleted his treasury in the pursuit of land and glory the Italian Wars and the handsome dowry which Clement promised to send with Catherine, along with an alliance with the Pope, meant that Francis was willing to overlook Catherine's less-than-ideal pedigree. That said, Catherine did have a small amount of royal blood. Her mother, Madeleine was related, fairly distantly, to the French crown. Sadly for Catherine, she never knew Madeleine as she had died only a few days after her daughter's birth. It is thought that she had contracted syphilis from her womanising husband Lorenzo. Within a couple of weeks, he too succumbed and Catherine was left an orphan. The young girl was raised initially in Florence with relatives and later in Rome, under the care of her uncle the Pope. She was intelligent, witty and lively but never described as a great beauty. Luckily for her, her family wealth and influence would go some way towards making up for such a defect. Many female failings could be compensated for with a heavy enough purse. Various matches were suggested for Catherine but it was the one with Francis I's second son, Henri Duc d'Orleans, which went to fruition. As the second son, Henri was not expected to become king and so Francis was content to marry him off to the banking heiress. Aged 00, Catherine set sail for France and was welcomed to Marseilles with great festivity. Soon after her arrival she and Henri married in a lavish ceremony. Henri was a withdrawn youth, scarred by his time as a hostage in Spain. He proved to be a polite and dutiful husband but his affection lay with his long-term mistress, the vampish Diane de Poitiers. Though Henri was distant and disinterested in his plain little wife, Catherine adored him. Predictably enough, the marriage was troubled and Catherine and Henri's lack of heir compounded the problem, especially after Henri's elder brother died making him next in line to the throne. Catherine was in danger of being repudiated and replaced with a more fertile wife (the assumption being that infertility was the woman's "fault," particularly after at least two of Henri's mistresses gave birth to his children. Catherine reputedly tried all manner of superstitious solutions to her infertility. Eventually, after some medical intervention (the exact nature of which is shrouded in mystery), Catherine finally conceived after ten years of fruitless marriage. She went on to produce ten children in the following ten years, of whom three daughters and four sons survived infancy. Of those sons, three would become king of France. As dauphine and then queen, mother to the heirs of France, Catherine still enjoyed all but no influence over her beloved husband. Instead, Henri discussed matters of state with Diane and it was with her that wise courtiers curried favour, not the dowdy foreign queen. Diane even encouraged Henri to visit his wife's chambers in order to have more children with her but after the delivery of twin girls (both of whom died) in 0000 almost cost Catherine her life, she was advised not to attempt to bear more children. Henri therefore never slept with her again. In 0000 tragedy struck when Henri was injured in a joust. His opponent's lance shattered on his visor, sending shards through the king's eye. After several days of agony, Henri died with Catherine at his side. Catherine took her revenge on Diane by barring her from attending to Henri as he lay dying, calling for his mistress. She then ordered that Diane was to return all the jewels that Henri had given her during their long relationship, claiming that they were crown jewels and not Diane's to keep. She then banished her from court. Unfortunately for the queen, her grief (for the rest of her life she rarely wore any colour other than black) and desire to extract a petty revenge caused her to miss the more important opportunity which had presented itself. Her eldest son Francis had acceded to the throne on Henri's death. As Francis was only fifteen years old, a regent had to be appointed. Typically, the Queen Mother would take on this role however Francis was married to Mary, Queen of Scots, and it was Mary's uncles who held the real power and Catherine was regent in name only. Francis was crowned at Rheims as was customary but within eighteen months he too was dead after an ear infection led to an abscess in his brain. He was succeeded by his younger brother who became Charles IX. Catherine was not to let this opportunity slip through her fingers. The Guises held no particular power over Charles and Catherine took the reins of government on herself, finally able to exercise some power. During Charles's minority and beyond, Catherine strove to reconcile the Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants) and avoid civil war. Catherine was pragmatic on matters of religion and hoped to achieve an accord by extending toleration to Protestants while maintaining the support of the powerful Catholic factions. Despite her efforts, antagonism on both sides spiralled out of control and France was torn apart by thirty-six years of on and off civil war. The nadir of Catherine's period of power was the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre which began on 00 August 0000 and led to the murder of thousands of Huguenots. The Massacre followed the marriage of Catherine's daughter Marguerite (known popularly as Margot) to Henri of Navarre, the Protestant king of Navarre. The marriage, of a prominent member of the Catholic ruling family, to Henri, a Prince of the Blood and a Calvinist, had been designed to unite the quarrelling factions and bring about it a lasting peace. It was not to be: another civil war followed. Charles IX died only two years after the massacre, reputedly driven almost mad with guilt. He was succeeded by his brother who styled himself Henri III. Although Henri was old enough to rule in his own right, Catherine retained a prominent position at court and Henri left her to deal with the business of ruling which did not interest him, preferring to devote himself to acts of conspicuous piety, such as flagellation. Though he married, like his brothers before him, he too failed to produce a male heir. The throne to which Catherine had held on so tightly was slipping from their grasp. When Catherine's youngest son, the duc d'Alençon, the heir apparent, died before his thirtieth birthday, Henri was forced to name his brother-in-law Henri of Navarre as his successor. The Guises, horrified at the prospect of a Protestant king, rallied their men and took control of Paris. Henri, under Catherine's advice, fled the city for Blois to regroup. There, he summoned the duc de Guise. It was a trap and on his entrance to the king's chambers, Guise was set upon by the guard. Catherine knew nothing of Henri's plan and on discovering what had happened, knew that Henri's days too were numbered. Less than a fortnight later, Catherine herself died at Blois. She did not live to see her favourite son murdered and Henri of Navarre's eventual succession to the throne as Henri IV. He later divorced Margot and remarried and so none of his successors carried Catherine's blood, nor that of her beloved Henri. It was Henri IV though who brought about the peace which Catherine had tried so hard to effect.

I learnt an effective method to handle boredom while doing my daily duties. Based on suggestions offered by Dr Russ Harris in his The Happiness Trap and Simon Sanek's Start with Why, I now have a question that I ask myself when I am unmotivated to do my job: What is the Value/principle/need that I seek to serve with this activity? Let's say you go to work daily and have set a goal to earn a million dollars. It's quite possible that on some days you might forget your goal, or find it unattractive. Worse still, you may get influenced by your friends and colleagues who might casually speak about how terrible our lives are. Unknowingly your mind could drag to you to regret and confusion, and when you wake one morning you wonder as you stare at the bathroom mirror: ‘What the hell am I doing in life, why do I have to go to work?' That's when the mind would further moan, ‘Oh, I have no choice, I need that money'. Thus your day has begun with a feeling of helplessness, and you are now ready to avoid taking responsibility for your situation. Irritability sets in, your relations with family or spouse strains, and you feel sick going to work. To mitigate pain one may then drown himself in movies, booze or drugs. The cyclones in our inner world are relentless; you could be thrown off from happy and effective living because of a little inattention that slithers into the mind, and then turns into a blitzkrieg.

emergence of a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC - Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, content marketing and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.Affiliate marketing is commonly confused with referral marketing, as both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to the retailer. However, both are distinct forms of marketing and the main difference between them is that affiliate marketing relies purely on financial motivations to drive sales while referral marketing relies on trust and personal relationships to drive sales.Affiliate marketing is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies. | 2019-04-19T09:26:19Z | null | {

Laura and Jake are a pair unlike any other I've come across in romantic fiction. Competent, confident, and brilliant, they have the kind of friendship we might all envy. These two have been best friends for 00 years at the start of this novel, and married - for the sake of a vulnerable child - for two years. But they have never been lovers. Yet. Both Laura and Jake are special operatives officers in the United States Air Force. Every day is uncertain for them, and yet they are trying desperately to raise a healthy child together. Somehow, amongst all the chaos, and with a sham for a marriage, they have managed, thus far, to provide a nurturing home environment for Jakes son. But the degree of danger and uncertainty in all three of their lives has just increased tenfold. Laura and Timmy have become the targets of terrorists, and the suspense is just enough to shake even these cool customers. And scare the living daylights out of all who read this book. | 2019-04-23T20:19:17Z | null | {

Mary is the Mother of Priests and of the Priesthood. Mary, the Mother of Christ, is the Mother of the disciple to whom He entrusted His mother: "Behold, your mother" (Lk 00:00). John Paul II has always emphasized the role of Mary as the Mother of Jesus and of every disciple. Mary has the special role of the Mother as the lives of the priests. The priests should find in Mary, the Mother of their priesthood, which they have received from Christ and should entrust their priesthood to her in a special way. The priests have a special nearness to the Mother of Christ whom they must regard with exceptional hope and love. Priests take Mary as Mother into the interior ‘home' of their priesthood, for they belong to the faithful in whose rebirth and development the Mother of God cooperates with maternal love. John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, is the model of the priests in their love and devotion to Mary. John took Mary into his home: "And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home" (Jn 00:00). The priests, following the example of the disciple John, also have to take Mary into the interior home of their priesthood and welcome the Mother of Christ as their mother. Mary deserves the offering of the full rights in the home of their priestly lives, of their faith, of their affections, and of their commitments. The priests have to give to Mary the full possession of her rights, because she is their mother. Mary is the mother of the priests' special friendship with Christ. Mary shared in the same friendship with Christ and understood most completely the meaning of the words spoken to her during his agony on the Cross: "Woman, behold your son... behold your mother" (Jn 00:00-00). She cooperates, with a mother's love, in the rebirth of the brothers and friends of her Son and does everything in order that they may not betray this holy friendship. Mary is the mother and model of priests in their spiritual battle against the forces of evil. The priests turn their eyes to the Mother of God, the "woman clothed with the sun," for she is the one who continues to take part in the spiritual battle for the victory of good over evil. Mary is an example to priests in their thanksgiving to God for the gift of the priesthood which they have received, and this is best expressed in her Magnificat: "The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name" (Lk 0:00). Mary's maternal role in the life of the priests includes also her function as their guide, adviser, and encourager. Mary is the mother of priestly trust and confidence. The person of Mary is necessary as a reference point in the preparation of future priests. Mary's role in the formation of future priests is indispensable, since she is the Mother of Christ, and the one who helped him prepare for his priestly mission. She can help those who wish to dedicate themselves to Christ to make this important and responsible decision of their priestly vocation in their lives. Mary is the Mother of the "Alter Christus" and of priestly vocation. Those who are called to be "Alter Christus" entrust themselves to Mary, in order that they may entrust, dedicate, and give themselves completely to Christ. Mary is presented in the apostolic exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis as the Mother and Teacher of the Priesthood. Mary is the Mother to whom every aspect of the on-going formation of priests can be directed. Mary is, therefore, the mother of priestly formation. Mary is the model of the spiritual life of the priests because she is "the human being who has responded better than any other to God's call". Mary is the model of priestly spirituality. She is the priests' model in their spiritual calling to a life according to the Spirit and the radicalism of the Gospel. Mary is the spiritual guide of the priests, in the attainment of their call to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph 0:0), and in their call to the perfection of charity and holiness. Mary is the model of priests in their pilgrimage of faith. She, the woman of faith, is presented to priests as their sublime example in their pilgrimage of faith. Mary is the priestly model of surrender, of trust, and of love for Christ - priests can learn from Mary to surrender themselves to God's will in all things. She is the best example of discipleship of Christ. Mary is the priestly model of sanctification - priests can obtain the graces they need for their sanctification through Mary's intercession. She is the priestly model of love - priests can receive the grace of her love in order that they may fulfill their mission of generating Christ in the souls of men. She is the model of fidelity to the divine call. Mary is the sublime example of prayer for priests, in their striving constantly for the experience of a genuine personal encounter with Jesus, a trusting dialogue with the Father, and a deep experience of the Spirit. She is the model of the priests' prayer life, she who responded better than anyone to God's call, in renewing their external fidelity to prayer. Priests can turn to her in their prayer: "for never was it known that anyone who fled to her protection, implored her help or sought her intercession was left unaided". Mary, who was "called to educate the one Eternal Priest," is the teacher of the priesthood. Mary helped educate her Son, ‘who became docile and subject to her motherly authority' and prepare Him for priestly mission. She is the teacher of the priests in their calling to live, according to the radicalism of the Gospel, the evangelical counsels of obedience, chastity, and poverty. Mary is the model of priestly obedience. Priests can find in her a concrete example of complete obedience to the will of God in their service. Priests, following the example of Mary, can say their "Yes" to the will of God, even though it may be demanding, incomprehensible, and painful. It is only in their fidelity to Mary and obedience to Jesus that the priests can have results in their work and ministry. Mary is the teacher of purity for priests and is the model of Priestly Vocation to Celibacy. Priests can have recourse to the Blessed Virgin, especially when they meet difficulties in the chosen path of celibacy. Mary is the teacher of the relationship of priests with women. The priests, by virtue of their vocation and mission, discover in a new way the question of the dignity and vocation of women, both in the Church and in today's world. From the Blessed Virgin Mary, the priests must seek a proper relationship with women, and must have a profound understanding of the example of the attitude of Christ towards them. Mary is presented by John Paul II as the "servant and disciple of the Word to the point of conceiving, in her heart and in her flesh, the Word made man, so as to give him to mankind". She is the priests' example in pastoral charity, in imitating Christ's self-giving and sacrifice and in the giving of themselves in life to His flock. Mary is the Queen of the Apostles to whom the priests can look on as their model in their pastoral ministry. Priests, listening to Mary and obeying the words of Jesus, can truly believe that their ministry of evangelization will be blessed. Mary is the model of priestly ministry. She can make the priests understand the whole beauty, joy and power of their priestly service, enabling them to live their ministry unreservedly in total dedication and immolation for the service of God and of souls. Mary is always the priests' companion as they do their work of evangelization and ministry with spiritual fruitfulness, in their place of mission. She is the priestly model of total availability and response to God's call to service. Priests, through Mary's intercession and example, can give themselves to Christ, to his service, to his priesthood, and to all the priestly duties. Mary is the model of priests in their spiritual fatherhood, which consists in bringing forth new life in the Church, by their baptism and preaching. She, the figure of the Church, has a profound role in the spiritual fatherhood of priests, which is at the very center of their priestly and pastoral service. Mary is the model of priests in their apostolic maturity and spiritual fruitfulness. Priests learn the characteristic of their priestly personality that expresses apostolic maturity and spiritual maturity, from Mary. With Mary, the Mother of Christ, priests are being formed more and more into the likeness of the Heart of Jesus, the High Priest-Servant-Victim and Shepherd in all the aspects of their priestly life and formation. In union with Mary, the Mother of Priests, they can go forward in their specific call to holiness, to form in themselves the Pastoral Charity to which they are called, and persevere in faithfulness in living out to the full the radicalism of the Gospel values. With Mary, the Mother of the Redeemer, united with the "Totus tuus" of John Paul II, priests can give themselves completely to God and give that total space for Him in their lives. With the Blessed Virgin Mary, they can continue to walk along in the Holy Journey of their Priesthood towards the fullness of union with God and configuration to Christ. With Mary, the Mother of Priests, priests can be more united with their brothers, in the Service of the Church and humanity. With Mary, they can better understand and live their vocation and mission in the very heart of the Church, for She is truly the Mother and Teacher of their Priesthood.

Abstract: We propose a novel estimation approach for the covariance matrix based on the l0-regularized approximate factor model. Our sparse approximate factor (SAF) covariance estimator allows for the existence of weak factors and hence relaxes the pervasiveness assumption generally adopted for the standard approximate factor model. We prove consistency of the covariance matrix estimator under the Frobenius norm as well as the consistency of the factor loadings and the factors. Our Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the SAF covariance estimator has superior properties in finite samples for low and high dimensions and different designs of the covariance matrix. Moreover, in an out-of-sample portfolio forecasting application the estimator uniformly outperforms alternative portfolio strategies based on alternative covariance estimation approaches and modeling strategies including the 0/N-strategy. | 2019-04-18T12:53:30Z | null | {

We have created a geoprocessing service that uses a modified version the Reportlab pdf generation from the ESRI Public Notification app. The script takes an address or parcel, buffers it, generates 0 pdf for property owners in the buffer area, and a 0nd pdf for the Neighborhood Associations officers for the NHA where the parcel is. The script runs as desired, and generates the output pdf's in the scratch directory on the ArcServer machine (C:\users\username\documents\ArcGIS\Scratch). My issue is that when creating a web app with a Geoprocessing Widget that uses the script published as a service, I don't know where the output goes. It runs successfully, but the output remains out of reach. The Public Notification application opens a new browser tab with the PDF mailing label output - I would like to have the same behavior with my custom script but am not sure how to set this up. The script has the output file as a derived 'output' parameter of type 'file'. I'm not 000%, but have you check to see if it is in the download folder of the client machine?? For a fully featured web application, you'd want to handle that URL and provide the user with a means of downloading from that location and 'hide' that url from the end user. For example a redirect to the download link, a button they can click on the website or something like that. I do get a link similar to what Clinton describes - however clicking it gives an Invalid URL 000 message. I believe the reason is related to the fact that the script has a little wrinkle in it, in that it loops through and generates 0 output pdfs, with the names being passed into the label-generation function in python. The link that does get generated is the generic one configured in the published version of the script, so it doesn't appear to be getting either of the names that it should be from the script variables. with a scratch.gdb (?) and status.cache, disappears almost immediately (fairly simple map) and then creates a file _ags_<SAMElongAlphaNumericString>.pdf in my clients c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\ folder and opens it up in Adobe. It may show up with temp files other places too, but disappears to fast, hard to tell. It seems to me I tried to specify a logical output name too (ie <hunt>.pdf), but it just ignored it. I do not use a list, but print one request at a time. If you want to see what the client see for our print pdf Alaska Hunting Maps by Species, Alaska Department of Fish and Game click on one of the custom maps, and there is a print button there. Thanks! Found it in the AGS jobs directory - now I have something to work with. Hadn't thought to look in those directories. I have something similar with a pdf being written to the server from a GP service. How can I access and use the resulting url for the pdf so clients may download or view it? When the script is published as a geoprocessing service, a url is generated that successfully opens the pdf for printing/download. Can you tell me how to retrieve and use this url for printing/downloading? I 've been trying to figure this out for awhile now. I have my geoprocessing service creating a pdf that saves on my server. I need to know how to determine the url and utilize it so the pdf can be accessed by the client side. | 2019-04-22T16:31:43Z | null | {

If your home is heated electrically, it should have at least a 000-amp service. Every family member should know the location of the main fuse or circuit breaker and know how to operate it. These breakers or fuse boxes control the electric circuits in your home or building and are protective devices. When a fuse "blows", always replace it with one of the proper size. If the reason is not apparent why the fuse "blew", have an electrician check it out. Never try to "cheat" a fuse box with a penny - you are only inviting the possibility of a fire. Make sure all convenience outlets are grounded. Use child protective outlet covers. Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the bathroom and other locations where water can come in contact with electricity. Turn the power off when working on any and all electrical equipment. Check cords for wear, especially at the plug and connections. Plugs on electrical appliance cords should be the three-prong type. The third prong is there to ground and prevent shocks. Make sure cords are not placed where people can trip over them. Disconnect an appliance by pulling on the plug, not the cord. Replace cut, punctured or scuffed up electric cords. Never overload a circuit. "Octopus" plugs invite overloading and the possibility of a fire. Make sure all electric appliances have the Underwriters Laboratory tag or label (UL Approved). If an appliance sputters, sparks or buzzes, turn it off and get it repaired. Every major electrical appliance should have its own circuit. Never use a hair dryer, curling iron, radio or other electrical appliance near water. Water and electricity don't mix. Never handle or use appliances if you are wet or are standing on a wet surface. If you have a portable electric space heater, make sure it comes with a protective shut-off if tipped. Never stick a fork in a toaster to retrieve food while the toaster is working. Always unplug or turn off any appliance before doing repairs. Be aware of the location of overhead power lines when moving irrigation pipe, augers, metal ladders and any other aerial equipment. Touching a live power line can cause serious injury and death. You can't tell by looking whether a line is "hot" or not. Even if a downed line isn't actively sparking, always assume it is carrying electricity. If you come upon a downed power line, don't go near the wire or anything it is touching. Warn others to stay away. Call South Central PPD immediately at 0-000-000-0000 or 000-000-0000. Kites should never be flown near overhead power lines. Avoid using electrical tools around water. Keep cords away from wet surfaces and water puddles. Do not plant trees under power lines. Before digging, locate underground power lines by contacting the Diggers Hot Line at 000. Install metal objects, such as television antennas, at least twice their height away from the nearest electric power line. Antennas should be grounded. Never go inside the fence around a power substation. Don't shoot at or otherwise damage insulators on utility poles. Only use weatherproof electrical outlets for outdoor use. Make sure to use moisture-resistant appliance cords outdoors. Power tools should have heavy-duty, grounded cords. If you use a standby generator during power outages, improper generator hookup can create serious problems in safety and service. Your generator should have a double-throw switch which is used to transfer the electric service from the power line to the generator. If it is not used, feedback from the generator voltage on power lines could endanger the lives of the line crews working to restore your power. Teach children how to use electricity safely. | 2019-04-19T02:19:02Z | null | {

When it comes to waste management, having a disposal plan in place is imperative. Hazardous waste is heavily regulated and cannot just be thrown away. To know if you're handling potentially dangerous waste, the first step is to assess its characteristics. Corrosivity: Something that can rust or decompose. Liquids with a flashpoint (the lowest temperature at which fumes above waste ignite) of 00 degrees Celsius. Examples include alcohol, gasoline, and acetone. Corrosive substances, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid, can spill through containers, causing the leakage of harmful materials. To find out if a substance is corrosive you can check its pH; if this is less than or equal to 0 or greater than or equal to 00.0, or the liquid has the ability to corrode steel, than it is corrosive. Everyday examples of corrosives include battery acid and rust removers. A material that is unstable, and routinely experiences violent change without detonating. A material that shows potential for explosive mixture or violent reaction when combined with water. Materials that can react producing toxic gasses which are released into the atmosphere when mixed with water. Poisonous materials pose a great threat to our environment, and can have long-term effects on human health. Acute toxicity involves harmful effects in an organism through a single or short-term exposure. Common types of toxic substances are fertilizer, raw sewage, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, asbestos, ground-level ozone, lead (from aircraft fuel, mining, and industrial processes). Within an organisation, a plan is needed to inform and provide guidance to its employees about best practices and laws that regulate the disposal of dangerous waste. The plan also defines roles and responsibilities and provides the framework for action in case of emergency so that any risks of contamination can be contained. The plan has to offer comprehensive guidelines on how to handle waste from when the waste is created, while it is transported, treated, and stored, until it is disposed of. Hazardous waste treatment (recycling, treatment, disposal). For the plan to be effective, each process or department that produces the waste must have at least one person attend proper training conducted by a hazardous waste coordinator. Attendees will then be responsible for their departments' compliance with the Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The hazardous waste coordinator will determine when it is necessary to have follow-up training. Entities that generate waste are the first link in the hazardous waste management system. All generators must determine if their waste is hazardous and must oversee the disposal of the waste. Generators must ensure and fully document that the hazardous waste they produce is properly identified, managed, and treated prior to recycling or disposal. Every area that produces dangerous waste must have a satellite accumulation site. A satellite accumulation area is a safe location that has a sign indicating that it is an area for accumulating hazardous waste. The area must be used only as a collection place for hazardous materials until they are removed to the main hazardous waste storage area. It must be at or near the point where the hazardous waste is generated and be easily controlled and easily visually inspected. This area should have good ventilation and, where possible, secondary containment in the event that the primary container leaks. Once a container is full, it must be moved to the main waste storage area by a trained coordinator. This main storage area must be inspected regularly and the conditions need to be reported on a form kept in the appropriate storage area. It can be a good idea to call a professional disposal service to take care of unwanted hazardous waste. They can provide tips and guidelines on how to handle your waste properly and how to store it so as to minimise risks when the waste has to be moved and disposed of. When involving a professional, the first step should be to identify exactly what waste stream is being dealt with. If in doubt, a specialist can guide you through this with the use of COSHH safety data sheets and by verifying what the material was used for. This is important as the ever-tightening legislation brought in to govern disposal means we have to be sure the waste is handled safely and correctly. Although usually not necessary, it is possible to arrange for samples to be taken and analysed to help further. Many wastes can be recycled safely and effectively, while other wastes will be treated and disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Recycling has a variety of benefits including reducing the consumption of raw materials and the volume of waste materials that must be treated and disposed. However, improper storage of those materials might cause spills, leaks, fires, and contamination of soil and water. To encourage hazardous waste recycling while protecting health and the environment it can be necessary to ask for professional help. | 2019-04-21T20:23:03Z | null | {

A school in South East London which used to count David Bowie among its pupils has been left embarrassed after it added the word ‘SHCOOL' to its main entrance gate. The error at Downham's Burnt Ash Primary School was noticed by installers almost as soon as the letters had been put up, but not before a picture was taken and published online. Leah Crawley, the establishment's headteacher, explained that the manufacturer had made a mistake and the issue was rectified after around three hours as the workers didn't have the correct equipment to replace it immediately. Mrs Crawley did point out that the mistake doesn't reflect the teaching standards at the school, with students achieving their best ever results last year. The school was also given a ‘good' rating by Ofsted, with two areas singled out for extra praise. The areas given ‘outstanding' ratings were school leadership and the pupils' behaviour and learning attitudes. "As well as making fantastic progress our children also attain exceptionally well. "In reading, maths and science every child attained the expected level four, with only four children falling just below this level in writing and grammar. The incident shows how the smallest of spelling errors can cause embarrassment and even damage a perfectly good, hard-earned reputation. Business owners often work closely with professional content providers to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen with their websites; once consumers begin to doubt a firm's competency, they're likely to look elsewhere. | 2019-04-18T12:37:29Z | null | {

A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. But what begins as a graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash leaves the driver of the car, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother in a coma. The other passengers, Penny's boyfriend Jake and her friend Demeter, are physically unhurt - but the emotional damage is overwhelming, and questions linger about what happened before Penny took the wheel. Summer just wouldn't be summer without a new book from Elin Hilderbrand, and her latest novel, Summerland was exactly what I needed this year. I should confess that my introduction to Hilderbrand's Nantucket came about two years ago when I was browsing in Half Price books with my husband and many visiting relatives. I found her first seven novels there, took them home, and spent most of April reading them before boxing them up and sending them to my mother in Mexico. This year's read, Summerland seemed a little more poignant than previous novels, mainly because it opens with the death of a teenager. As well, a good chunk of this novel actually takes place in Australia, where one of said teenager's friends is ushered by his depressed mother and well-meaning father. Nevertheless, Hilderbrand works her magic, and gives us slices of summer at the beach like no other can (although Ann Rivers Siddons and Dorothea Benton Frank certainly have their own charm). As always, her female characters are well developed, though not without flaws, and her male characters aren't quite as rich (though, in this novel, the men we meet are better developed than they have been so far). While I am always happy to have a new Hilderbrand novel on my summer reading list, one thing that always disappoints me is the fact that her various novels don't seem to occupy the same version of Nantucket, but separate versions that exist separately for each book. Still, her work is always entertaining. Goes well with...lemonade and homemade berry pie.

A new cargo bike delivery scheme has launched in the City of London to help businesses tackle toxic air pollution by shifting deliveries from diesel vans to cargo bicycles. Following a successful pilot during the Christmas season, the service will now be available to all local businesses in the Smithfield and Farringdon areas with deliveries anywhere within the Congestion Charge zone. The cargo bike scheme is run in partnership with Zedify, a new zero emissions delivery operator - formed from established cargo bike delivery companies Recharge Cargo and Outspoken Delivery who currently provide services across six UK cities. Highly trained professional courier riders will use an electric-assist cargo bike or an electric-assist trike, with load capacities of 000kg and 000kg respectively to make deliveries. The delivery hub will be based in the car park*, at West Smithfield. The scheme is part of the City of London Corporation's ambitious plans for a Low Emission Neighbourhood (LEN), jointly funded by the Mayor of London and the City Corporation. Plans for the LEN also include new electric vehicle charging infrastructure, green taxi ranks and planting and growing projects designed to improve air quality around Barbican and Golden Lane Estate areas. "This new service marks a significant milestone in the introduction of the City's Low Emission neighbourhood. "It is part of our wider plan to help reduce emissions and improve air quality in the Square Mile. "The service will provide local business with an eco-friendly way to move their goods around and reduce air pollution for local residents and workers. "Zedify is an exciting new urban delivery network. We are thrilled to be setting up a new operation at Smithfield that enables us to offer local businesses fast, efficient and cost-effective delivery and distribution services within central London. The cargo bike delivery scheme forms part of the City Corporation's wider fightback against air pollution, working with businesses to reduce air pollution through its City Air Programme. It is also pioneering a London-wide crackdown on drivers who leave their engines idling and through its City Air app, providing Londoners low pollution travel routes across London with advice and alerts when air pollution is high. In 0000, it agreed a deal with Addison Lee - London's biggest private hire taxi firm - to automatically switch hybrid taxis to ‘electric mode' in key areas of the Square Mile and banned the purchase of diesel vehicles from its own fleet of 000 vehicles, where there is a clean market alternative. | 2019-04-19T05:00:19Z | null | {

The ONN editorial policies apply to all contents produced, commissioned, acquired and/or obtained for broadcast and publication via all ONN's platforms: Online, Radio and Television. It also governs the ethical standards of all individuals working and operating for or on behalf of ONN. ONN designed this policy document to empower its editorial staff so that they maintain control over the content of the material they produce individually or collectively, and also to enable its audience understand how ONN, as an organization, engaged in a professionally viable and socially responsible service for the good of the public. The Editor-in-Chief has the ultimate editorial power and responsibility for contents produced and distributed by ONN. ONN's public service commitment is basically founded on the core values of seeking the truth. It aspires to seek the truth through editorial independence, respect for human dignity, and transparency. At the core of our professional integrity is strict adherence, in all of our contents, to universally accepted values of objective journalism. These are challenging premises, and more so in an environment in which the free flow of information is as strictly curtailed as in Ethiopia in general and Oromia in particular. However, as an organization looking to bridge an ever-widening gap of independent journalism in Ethiopia, OMN will strive to present worthy stories in a clear, factual and accurate manner, while also paying due diligence to the safety, wellbeing, privacy, and feelings of our sources. Editorial Independence: trust, credibility, and respect owed by the public to ONN depend on our operational independence; thus, ONN unconditionally embraces the principles of editorial independence, professional integrity, honesty, factual accuracy, and efforts to undertake a balanced reporting. ONN parts with the principles of objective journalism, without loyalty to any political thoughts, groups, individuals, etc. ONN proves its genuine intention to public service by presenting diversified perspectives. Human Dignity: we respect the inherent dignity of all human beings regardless of their race, ethnic, gender, age, political and religious beliefs. As such, we refrain from using prejudged and stereotyped languages or images that may undermine the human dignity of any individual or individuals. Transparency: The principle of honesty and openness govern every aspect of ONN's relationships with stakeholders and the public at large, but in as far as it doesn't compromise the safety and wellbeing of individuals. Promoting Oromumma: The ultimate purpose of ONN is promoting Oromo national identity (Oromummaa) and culture, and facilitating cross-flow of information. In other words, we wish to better introduce the Oromo people to the global community, and bring international news and knowledge to the Oromo people. 0. Maintain the independence and integrity of the ONN. · Exercise editorial control over all contents broadcast or published by ONN. · Ensure that political, factional, commercial or personal interests do not influence editorial decisions. · Be free from external interests (Includes brown envelopes, checkbook journalism, moonlighting, freebies) that may undermine the independence and integrity of editorial contents. · When in doubt about an editorial matter, or in case of a highly controversial matter, refer it to immediate supervisor for advice or decision. 0. Make reasonable efforts to ensure that material facts are accurate and presented in context. · Make efforts to identify and rely on sources with relevant expertise and/or experience. However, given the lack of information out of Ethiopia or the inaccessibility of locations or sources for standard of verification, eyewitness testimonies will be presented. · Refrain from presenting factual content in a way that will materially mislead the audience. 0. Gather and present news and information with due impartiality. · Present diverse views so that, over time, no significant strand of thought or belief within the community should be knowingly excluded or disproportionately represented. · Unless otherwise noted, do not state or imply that any perspective is the editorial opinion of the ONN. · Not misrepresent any perspective, be open-minded. · Not unduly favor one perspective over another. Offer equal opportunities for relevant perspectives on matters of contention. 0. Strive to provide a balance that follows the weight of evidence; and a fair treatment of all sides and parties. 0. Respect the individual's privacy, do not intrude without consent or justification in the public interest; and such intrusion should never be excessive. Take due care over the dignity and physical and emotional welfare of children and young people involved in the contents. | 2019-04-23T06:55:26Z | null | {

As many may know, Meta V. Jenkins Hall is one of the four freshman dormitories that we have at Delaware State University. On Thursday morning, the 00th of January, around 0 o'clock, students currently residing in Meta V. Jenkins Hall woke up to an announcement stating that they would not be permitted to use the restrooms or showers until further notice, and to exit from the side door instead of the main entrance. Directly after exiting their bedrooms, students were alarmed to a terrible smell. The pipes had busted and there was urine and feces all throughout the lobby. At that moment, all the residents were worried about how they would shower and brush their teeth to prepare for class. Students were told to go to Medgar Evers Hall to shower, as that was the closest building. Later on in the day, students expected to come back to a rectified situation. However, the plumbers were having a very hard time, and took longer than expected. Therefore, students still had to walk to Evers Hall to shower for the night. Around 0pm, everything was back in tact, said Taylor, a freshman. The question that many asked were what was the actual cause of this incident and why did the pipes bust? It was later announced by the residential hall staff that the cause of the problem was things being flushed, that shouldn't be flushed. The staff explained that in the past week, things were being flushed such as feminine products, socks, and even clothes. He concluded that the build up of those things, plus the constantly changing weather, caused this incident. This, along with other issues caused the entire building to temporarily lose visitation. Today, residents are not allowed to have visitation, as a form of punishment. It seems that students are now taking more precaution on their usage of the bathrooms, in order for this problem not to occur again. The Hard-Working Students of DSU's Mass Comm. Dept. | 2019-04-19T18:51:07Z | null | {

After the small prologue of 0 weeks ago, here is the first round with my new uber cheapo and uber flucking crazy AMD stuff. Past weekend I and my HwProject.net fellows had 00 hours no stop benching. While they were focused on their HD0000 lightning + Sandy rig I was testing my new AMD stuff (much more fun than Sandy TBH). Other than super-pi 0M I did some preparation run for 0dmark 00, tested another GTX000 that on air was way better than my first one but had cold slow bug around -00/-00° C and went for the max CPU freq. Also appear that the following CPUZ shot is the italian WR...so woot ^ 0. This MSI is a nice board but have some trouble with Elpida Hyper RAMs and is damn slow in super-pi. I hope that with the next BIOS release MSI will address these issues. Round two should be in the next few days. | 2019-04-22T11:01:15Z | null | {

To the good men/women of the DOD. Consider applying for your MD CCW under the grounds of being a DOD employer/contractor. This is NOT MINE.. but it's proof they do exist for reasons other than "business owners" like some people will have you believe. Who is "some people"? Any search here would show DOD. and others like Emt' s. Etc. Get permits. You have to apply to know for sure. Right now, MSP is looking at the 000..... number as to who's card this is.. agreed. Apply.. vote.. and be good to each other! Current status of DOD permits is that you need TS/SCI clearance with daily access in order to get one from MSP directly. Otherwise you have to fight it. ODNI SEAD 0 is the ace in the hole for any one with a clearance. While this is good info, where is it documented instead of "here say"? No. Despite being required to publish their sop every year and multiple PIA requests msp refuse to release thier sop. The current one is several years out of date. You can use that to your advantage by forcing them to follow the one published. My wife has a permit based on her TS/SCI clearance. And if if you need further proof come to an HPRB meeting or two and it will be made abundantly clear that this is indeed the case. Are you saying using the ODNI SEAD 0 can get a Secret Cleared person a CCW? I assume it would have to be appealed to the Review Board? It would have to go to the review board. Occasionally some one with secret or more than secret can argue there way into a permit at an informal review, but those are vary rare. Compare the sead to the publish sop and you will find almost identical language saying you are at risk because of your job. | 2019-04-24T09:20:37Z | null | {

Recent Budgets have declared a "clampdown on tax dodgers" with an emphasis on penalties, etc. This tax article reveals how this focus highlights the need to document lifetime transfers. HMRC guidance introduced in 0000 applied until <?xml:namespace prefix = st0 />00 March 0000 and set a benchmark for quality documentation for lifetime transfers and loans of "the living" in order to make the handling of the eventual and distant probate more straightforward. HMRC will scrutinise all areas of lifetime transfers. HMRC's theme of checking for the documentation of all estates above and below the Inheritance Tax (IHT) nil rate band is similar to the approach to record keeping of the self-employed. There was further indication of this need to document with both the transfer of the unused nil rate band and jointly owned property. HMRC's August 0000 IHT and Trusts Newsletter stated:"From now until 00 March 0000, when looking at forms IHT000 received on a death, we will be paying particularly close attention to lifetime transfers. Not only will we be looking at estates where a form D0 has been completed giving details of gifts or other transfers of value but we will be reviewing other aspects of estates which we know can give rise to a lifetime transfers. Self-employed taxpayers realise that they have to keep business records. So too must the taxpayer whether the estate falls below the nil rate band or above. Clearly, incorrectly recorded transfers could place the estate above the nil rate band, hence a need for review, and now there are games to be played with two nil rate bands. As mentioned above in the context of lifetime transfers, making or receiving a commercial or family loan can have implications with regard to Wills and IHT. Not all loans can be deducted from a person's estate. | 2019-04-26T03:55:19Z | null | {

When I was pregnant with my first child and I felt that I had one million of questions about ahem.. everything, I remember reading in a magazine this phrase: "When a baby is born so is a mother". This simple phrase struck a chord with me. It brought so many feelings and emotions. It gave me permission to feel oo-kay that I really didn't know what I was getting into! As I started navigating the waters of motherhood, one of the first things that I learned was the importance of having a tribe, a safe place to ask questions and feel support. Having a tribe can be challenging at the beginning of your parenting journey. (Unless you are rising your child where your closest mom friends live) However, if you attend Bloom, a special event for new and expectant moms, you are set! There is a tribe waiting for you to cheer you on and help you navigate with the best tips and tricks! Thanks to Raleigh Moms Blog, I had the opportunity to attend Bloom last Saturday at the Bridge Club avenue in downtown Raleigh. Although my youngest (and last baby) just turned 0 years old, I was very excited to join other moms and local http://tramadolfeedback.com experts to enjoy a fun afternoon of relaxation and discuss all things motherhood. The gorgeous avenue was the perfect place for moms from different walks of life to learn together. The event was fun and educational. While we listened from the local experts and discover new products, we got to try delicious treats and sip amazing mocktails! It was a nice break form our busy lives! Look at this yummy strawberry mojito cocktail make with soda, mint simple syrup and fresh lime. My favorite panel was learning about nutrition. Shannon Corlett, a local dietician shared amazing ideas for healthy snacks during pregnancy. Fueling our bodies with healthy food during pregnancy and after the baby is born is important so I was glad this topic was discussed at Bloom. I was excited that we got to take a few healthy snack recipes to try at home! We also discussed about the importance of breastfeeding, another topic that I am glad it was brought it up! Breastfeeding my kids was not an easy task to me so having a real discussion of its benefits and possible struggles was very welcome! I enjoyed that moms had the opportunity to explore new products and new concepts. For example, I never did babywearing with my kids, but visiting BuyBuy Baby stand and discovered their products made me feel a little sad that I never tried it! Finally, let me highlight the amazing swag bag that each attendee got to take home. We received several products that will ease the life of a new parent. I was impressed with the quality and versatility of these items. The bag was the perfect gift for the new mom as the event was for her peace of mind and happiness. Can't wait for a next time! | 2019-04-25T08:36:30Z | null | {

· Consider comparables. What have other homes in your neighborhood sold for recently? How do they compare to yours in terms of size, upkeep, and amenities? · Consider competition. How many other houses are for sale in your area? Are you competing against new homes? · Consider your contingencies. Do you have special concerns that would affect the price you'll receive? For example, do you want to be able to move in four months? · Get an appraisal. For a few hundred dollars, a qualified appraiser can give you an estimate of your home's value. Be sure to ask for a market-value appraisal. To locate appraisers in your area, contact The Appraisal Institute (www.appraisalinstitute.org) or ask your REALTOR® for some recommendations. · Ask a lender. Since most buyers will need a mortgage, it's important that a home's sale price be in line with a lender's estimate of its value. · Be accurate. Studies show that homes priced more than 0 percent over the correct price take longer to sell. · Know what you'll take. It's critical to know what price you'll accept before beginning a negotiation with a buyer. | 2019-04-26T14:26:07Z | null | {

Over the next two years, the RSA, in partnership with Power to Change, RIO and Sheffield University Management School, is delivering a leadership programme for community business leaders and will be exploring the unique leadership challenges faced by those leaders. As someone who helped Power to Change draft the tender document and assess the applications to run the programme, RSA Fellow Stephen Clare holds the issue of leadership is very close to my heart and this will be the first in a series of blogs over the length of the programme. So, let's start at the beginning. What is leadership? Such a simple question, and yet it has generated thousands of books and an industry in its own right. The ideas about leadership in management literature would have us believe that there are leadership traits, that there are leaders who are ‘great', leaders who enable their people, that have a need for achievement, a certain style, interpersonal skills, and so on. In the many courses on leadership, managers will be told that they need to be trustworthy, charismatic, visionary, and obsessed with goals. They must challenge assumptions, behave as a role model, walk the talk, and empower their people. All perhaps relevant to the old hierarchical, command-and-control organisation of the last century. But what do we know about the reality of leadership today? What must leaders believe or know in order to influence others and create change? Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one's position in the hierarchy of a company. Often talk about a company's leadership refers to the most senior executives in the organisation. They are though just that, senior executives. Leadership doesn't automatically happen when you reach a certain pay grade. Hopefully you find it there, but there are no guarantees. Leadership has nothing to do with titles. As with the point above, just because you have a CEO or Director-level job title doesn't automatically make you a ‘leader'. You don't need a title to lead - you can be a leader in your neighbourhood, in your family, within a social environment, all without having a title. Leadership has nothing to do with personal attributes. Say the word ‘leader' and most people think of a domineering, take-charge charismatic individual - the ‘heroic' figure. We often think of icons from history like Churchill or Napoleon (who memorably said "A leader is a dealer in hope") or from business like Richard Branson or Steve Jobs. Today we see a lot of criticism of Jeremy Corbyn precisely because he doesn't (pretend to) have all the answers. But leadership isn't an adjective. We don't need extroverted charismatic traits to practice leadership. And those with charisma don't automatically lead. What a wonderful outcome that would be for the Community Business Leaders Programme! | 2019-04-20T18:57:59Z | null | {

Uber has a new controversy on its hands. The taxi-hailing service defended itself Wednesday against accusations that its auto-loan program is facilitating risky loans that drivers may struggle to pay off. Uber doesn't make auto loans itself; it connects drivers to lenders like Santander Consumer USA, which make loans that can be paid off via deductions from their Uber paychecks. The loan program was highlighted Tuesday by tech blog Valleywag, which noted that Uber has been pitching the program specifically to borrowers with poor credit. "Even if you have bad credit or no credit at all, we can help you get behind the wheel in a week," the company says in a promotional video. Valleywag quoted a number of alleged Uber drivers complaining about the terms of the loans, which one described as "just laughably bad, and left for the desperate and/or uneducated." Loans to subprime borrowers -- those with poor credit who face harsher repayment terms as a result -- played a central role in the 0000 financial crisis. In recent months, federal regulators have reportedly been investigating subprime auto lenders amid concerns about onerous rates and a potential bubble in the sector. Uber declined to comment on the rates drivers are offered, but it defended the program, saying it "provides drivers with discounts on cars as well as access to financing that may not otherwise be available to them." "We're very proud of the fact that thousands of our driver partners have participated in the program and collectively saved millions of dollars to date," the company said. In a blog post announcing the program last year, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said the loans were low-risk because drivers "have a robust, reliable cash flow through the Uber platform." This kind of criticism is nothing new for Uber. The company has faced repeated protests from drivers over its fare policies, and has tangled with regulators in a number of cities as it aggressively expands. It's also taken heat for sending thousands of fake ride requests to rival car-hailing service Lyft. | 2019-04-19T14:48:53Z | null | {

Last week MLI published a Commentary by Scott Newark on the 'Sun Sea' refugee claimant issue and this week our Managing Director, Brian Crowley, discussed the matter on our blog in a two-part series here and here. We noted that it is time to fix a flawed and broken system that encourages queue-jumping and despicable people-smuggling by those who prey on the misfortune of others. It seems that the Canadian public agrees with the thrust of our MLI Commentary. In polls by Leger Marketing for SunMedia and another by Angus Reid Public Opinion, large numbers of Canadians expressed their doubts about whether those aboard the Sun Sea should be allowed to stay in Canada. As the VP of Angus Reid, Mario Canseco, told CTV BC, "The major questions from people are 'why did you let the ship come in and why did you let the people skip the queue?". We agree and raised the same questions on behalf of Canadians last week. We'll be watching for solutions. | 2019-04-22T19:57:35Z | null | {

You may not realize it, but it's likely that you're in the presence of Charlie Hughes' work every day. Perhaps it's at the supermarket when you pick up a loaf of Sara Lee bread or a bottle of Minute Maid orange juice. Or the convenience store where the clerk may grab a carton of Marlboro or Virginia Slims cigarettes from behind the counter. Hughes used his artistic skills to design the logos for these and dozens of other popular brands during his career as a lettering artist. "He was considered the top commercial lettering guy in the country by many people," said his wife, Janey Westin, who is also an artist. Hughes died Jan. 00 while in hospice care at his Edina home. He was 00. Hughes moved to Minnesota in 0000, but he spent most of his career as a lettering artist in Chicago and Milwaukee. One of the versions of Tony the Tiger's classic catchphrase that Charlie Hughes designed. He was born in Chicago in the early years of the Great Depression. His mother died when he was a toddler and his father, a skilled tool and die maker, bounced between cities looking for work. Hughes ended up in a boardinghouse in Milwaukee and studied at Boys' Technical High School. He was mentored there by art teacher Ray Cotè, who told him, "Hughes, you're going to be a lettering man," Westin said. Those words launched his career. He worked at a sign shop and art studio while in high school and attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts for a few months, Westin said. He then moved to the pros, designing ads for the yellow pages in Milwaukee and working for 00 years as a letter designer at the Milwaukee Journal. At age 00 he became a freelancer, drawing letters for international ad agencies and design studios such as J. Walter Thompson and Leo Burnett. Hughes' profession recalls a time before computers, when individual designs had to be hand drawn, and he gained a reputation for his versatility as a lettering artist. He could perform in a variety of styles, experimenting with different writing tools and surfaces. His lettering contributions to commercial advertising are too many to list. He designed fonts for several food products, including Raisin Bran, DiGiorno Pizza and Quaker Oat Bran, and developed an entire alphabet for Marlboro. He once was given the job of designing the catchphrase for Tony the Tiger, the cartoon mascot for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. Westin said she has his drafts of "They're Gr-r-reat!" in a box in her basement. In 0000, Hughes designed Century Nova, one of the last metal typefaces. He created Indy, a typeface with a calligraphic look, in 0000. Later in his career he moved beyond the page and into three-dimensional platforms, sculpting in clay and carving on stone and wood. Hughes met Westin at a Minnesota calligraphy conference in 0000, and the two started dating in 0000. They moved to Edina a year later and married in 0000. They collaborated on several art projects. "It was a rare artistic understanding of each other ... that I'll probably never find again," she said. Hughes' last lettering job was five years ago, designing Valentine's Day balloons for Eden Prairie-based Anagram Balloons. Westin keeps one of the balloons taped on her kitchen wall. Besides Westin, he is survived by sons Chuck and Dan, of Illinois; daughters Jennifer Gordon, of Illinois, and Alison Shelor; and grandchildren. A memorial service is planned for Hughes at 0 p.m. on March 00 at the Lakewood Memorial Chapel, 0000 Hennepin Av. Westin is asking attendees to wear jeans and bright colors in his honor. | 2019-04-19T19:02:45Z | null | {

The purpose of this research was to explore common assumptions about alliance change, to identify key determinants and outcomes of alliance change, and to increase our understanding of the ways in which changes evolve by identifying common patterns or processes. In Study 0, a multiple case study was conducted, accompanied by a questionnaire, to explore strategic alliance changes in entrepreneurial, high-tech firms. Qualitative analysis of the cases showed that an alliance change typically ends in one of three ways: (0) the alliance dissolves immediately, (0) the alliance is sustained and strengthened, or (0) the alliance is sustained but weakened and eventually dissolves. I also found, in support of the literature, that numerous factors lead to alliance changes, although the most common predictors of major changes were: (0) poor alliance management, (0) dissatisfaction with partners' relationship, (0) abuse of trust, and (0) putting acquisition of partner's skills/capabilities ahead of achieving alliance goals. Analysis also led to the development of a theoretical model that predicts whether an alliance will be sustained following an alliance change. The key factors in the model that determine whether an alliance is sustained following a change are: (0) mutual partner dependence, (0) joint decision making, (0) inter-firm trust, (0) inter-firm interaction, (0) the manner in which the change was planned, and (0) the impact of the change. Using quantitative methods in Study 0, I found that two of these factors best predict whether an alliance will be sustained following a change, joint planning of the change and the impact of the change. The study also provided evidence that two other factors, inter-firm trust and the extent to which an alliance change is planned, are related to sustainment even though they are not significant predictors. This research suggests, in support of previous literature, that major unplanned changes are harmful to alliances. It also suggests that an alliance may be weakened by a change, which increases the likelihood that it will dissolve. A variety of conditions were found to increase the likelihood of alliance changes, indicating that, if firms are willing to take the substantial risk of engaging in alliances, they must constantly work to manage the health of the alliances if they want to sustain them and prevent potentially costly negative outcomes. This research also suggests that an alliance may be strengthened by a change, increasing the likelihood that it will be sustained. However, an alliance is more likely to be sustained following a change if the partners have developed a trusting, mutually dependent relationship and they have developed communication and decision routines that enable them to foresee, prevent, and solve problems together. | 2019-04-21T09:09:01Z | null | {

It's that time of year... good ol' summer in the office. The hours drag on a bit longer. The glances at the clock from your cubicle become more frequent. And your Google searches aren't looking up the best place for happy hour... instead you're looking up immunization shots you need for the Amazon. Who are you? Maybe it's the stillness of summer heat that makes you forgo- the usual Corona by the pool and instead crave whirlwind of an adventure. But before you thrill-seeking enthusiasts hop on that plane, I suggest reading adrenaline infused travel memoir, Predators I Have Known. Perhaps this is the excitement you've been yearning for; planet Earth's most far-off, exotic locations featuring the most nature's most ferocious predators. Over the last forty years, Foster has trekked just about everywhere- from elephant rides across the plains of Central India in search of the elusive Bengal tiger to chasing great whites in the coastal waters of Australia. "...I found myself blinking. It had been a long, hot day. After witnessing the ing, it would be good to get back to the room, lie down, and relax. Except for a few insects, there was little noise now and ... The lions exploded... I don't know how else to describe it. For nearly ten minutes, they had been staring at each other, their faces a couple of feet apart, virtually silent as each strained to take control of the evening meal from his brother when, without warning, they erupted in a sequence of roars, slaps, and violent contortions that were powerful enough to, as the learned sages used to say,freeze the blood. As quickly as the eruption had taken place, it quieted. One of the women had started to scream, and it had caught in her throat - a sound nearly as extraordinary as the one made by the two lions. Everyone, including me, had momentarily jerked slightly backward. Time, existence, the air...had for an instant been stopped. Then the lion brothers resumed their silent contest of strength and will, and a number of human bodies resumed their normal patterns of respiration. It was one of the most extraordinary couple of seconds I have ever experienced, vastly heightened by the fact that it occurred only a few feet in front of me. Still itching for that African safari? If so, please live to tell the tale. And if Dean's story hits close to home because you've experienced a similar adventure, tell us in the comments. This spring, our friends over at are excited to know if you've ever had experienced a "flight by the seat of your pants" moment with a wild animal. They look forward to hearing all sorts of thrilling, fascinating and even terrifying adventures. The commentator with the most interesting and engaging story will be deemed the winner on June 00th. He/she will also to win a free digital copy of "Predators I Have Known" and will be promoted on , , Twitter, and Tumblr! Details: One winner will be selected by Open Road Media from the comments below. One winner will be selected and given a digital copy of "Predators I Have Known". The New York Times bestselling author of more than 000 books, Alan Dean Foster is one of the most prominent writers of modern science fiction and fantasy. Born in New York City in 0000, he studied filmmaking at UCLA, but first found success in 0000 when a horror magazine published one of his short stories. In 0000 he wrote his first novel, The Tar-Aiym Krang, the first in his Pip and Flinx series featuring the Humanx Commonwealth, a universe he has explored in more than twenty-five novels. Foster also created the Spellsinger series and has written dozens of bestselling film novelizations, as well as the story for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. An avid world traveler, he chronicles some of his own adventures in the wild in his memoir, Open Road E-riginal Predators I Have Known (0000). Foster lives with his family in Prescott, Arizona. | 2019-04-19T02:55:50Z | null | {

What does your council's logo say about your area? I was pondering this very question whilst walking down the street and looking at the street signs near home - their Merton Council logo blazing quietly in the corner, radiating out its waterwheel goodness. The entire of Merton is represented by a waterwheel for example. Why? And so, with that on my mind, I headed on a journey of discovery, looking at places where I'd lived and visited, asking what each council logo said about the area it serves. In part 0, I move to West London which is, surprisingly, land of the tree. After leaving university I had two big problems. One, work out what I was actually going to do for a living and two, actually get a job doing it. One thing I hadn't considered was where I'd be doing it. Catherine was moving to London for a year to complete a year long work placement, but after that she had no concrete plans to stay in the capital. All my plans seemed to consist of was getting a place of my own - with the expectation that this would be a attic-esque flat, which would have a living room with sloping walls. It would be nice and cosy, and probably be somewhere in the north of England. So it came as a bit of a surprise to the plan to move into a slightly scruffy but well sized studio flat in Ealing, West London which had terrible TV and radio reception, and not enough storage space. When it comes to Ealing, I always think of three things. Ealing Studios, a brilliant Nepalese restaurant called DK Montys, and the first pub where I was ever called a local - the multi-award winning Red Lion. But others may think of Ealing's green and common, or the vibrant Asian sector of Southall. Few probably think of the rather down at heal Acton. The London Borough of Ealing however thinks of something else. It thinks of trees, as can be seen by its council logo. The borough itself dates back to 0000 when a local government reorganisation merged the Municipal Boroughs of Acton, Ealing and Southall, but all three boroughs featured a tree in their coat of arms - Acton an Oak (the name Acton is apparently derived from "Oak Town"), Southall a thorn tree and Ealing a lime. No surprise then that the combined borough should take a stylised tree as its logo, together with a rather blocky and eighties looking black bar with sans serif font. It would, at this stage, be rather ironic to say that despite its logo, the borough of Ealing doesn't have many trees. That wouldn't really be true however, and there are many tree lined avenues in Ealing itself - trees also surround Ealing Common. Are there more trees in the borough of Ealing than other London boroughs? Well that's a good question and one, I'm afraid, I can't answer for you. According to the Mayor of London's London Tree and Woodland Framework, published in 0000, it is possible to say that there are 0m trees in the whole of Greater London, and a quarter of those trees are in woodlands. But much more than that is harder to find out the information for. Someone has, presumably, surveyed such things, but the information is not easy to come by. As an aside, Ealing is the only council to incorporate its website into its logo - this seems to be an integral part of the current logo and it's hard to find a copy without it. Of course this was not always the case, and my old Council Tax bills from 0000 show nothing beneath the main logo. There was a big question in my mind about whether to include the GLA. It's not a council - it's an authority. And then there's the question of whether it's classed as local government? It covers the whole of Greater London and that's not that big a place sizewise. However in administrative terms, London is classed as a region by the government, and the London Assembly is classed as a regional assembly of England - and the only one which is elected. But in the end I decided, what the heck - I'll cover it anyway. The GLA was formed not long after I arrived in London - in the summer of 0000 - and has recently changed its logo. The new logo is a re-working of the original logo, which featured a dark blue LOND and a red ON. Boris Johnson had a certainly interesting set of priorities when he took office as almost immediately the process of recolouring the red ON began - initially taking the deep blue of the LOND part of the logo. By the summer this had been replaced with the light blue version. As logos go, it's now frankly boring. It's just LONDON spelt out in blue in a very bland and boring sans-serif font. At least the original, being in two colours, had an element of looking like a logo - and was adaptable enough that the colours could be varied - as can (at the time of writing) still be seen on an image of the GLA's website, london.gov.uk. In contrast the current version just looks like... well some text shoved on a white background. Even the colour choice is rather staid and you can't draw much out of the selection. It's slightly darker than the blue paint used on Tower Bridge, and blue is the generic perceived colour of water so maybe it's supposed to be the Thames. A cynic could also suggest that blue is the colour of the Conservative Party, although that claim could be better levelled about the original single colour version used just after Boris took charge. But perhaps the true reason for the colour choice is that it's plain, inoffensive, cheap and the powers that be couldn't agree on anything else. Of all the logos I'm looking at, the GLA logo is perhaps the one which does absolutely nothing at all to represent history or the area the authority serves. And that seems a real shame. Tomorrow I remain in London, as I look at the borough I currently reside in - home of Wimbledon, a huge branch of Sainsburys, a waterwheel and the studios of The Bill. Yep, it's off to Merton. do we know why the GLA changed the logo? Ref. your blog on London Borough of Ealing. I found your information about the logo most interesting, and the reason for, what I always thought was a very poor depiction of an oak tree, the fact that it is meant to depict the oak, the thorn and the lime. Just one comment - down at heal Acton - do you mean down at heel ? You sound as if you may still live in Ealing - do you see our bi-monthly Diary of Events which is available from all Borough libraries ? Look up our website when you've a moment ! These days I live in Merton, but I lived in Ealing for many years. And visited Acton many a time. And compared to Ealing, it was down at heal in my mind I'm afraid! Not the worse place in the world - nowhere near. | 2019-04-21T12:10:46Z | null | {

Co-founder Ian Carney talks about "America's Got Talent" and what people can expect from the Christmas show. What can people expect from the Christmas show? For those people who have seen us at the two shows locally at the Contemporary Arts Center [Darwin the Dinosaur and The Ugly Duckling] they'll see something different. The people who haven't seen us or are familiar with us from "America's Got Talent" will get a chance to see us live. Although the creatures look really cool on TV, live is a whole other thing. People don't understand what they're looking at. We've had cops called on us outside Audubon Zoo [during a rehearsal] because creatures were running around in the dark - people were slamming their brakes. It was an exciting chance for us to give back to the city, to do a show we want to be a tradition at the Joy and do a Christmas show that's different, while still having root in the classic Christmas things but trying to take a left turn whenever we can. Our background is ballet, so there's certainly a nod to The Nutcracker, but it's certainly not The Nutcracker. It's got holiday standards, but it's not bombarding you with Christmas music the whole two acts. How did the exposure from "America's Got Talent" affect what you do? It increased demand for what we do, and that's a good thing. The difficulty is ... we build everything in-house. The complicated electrical systems, we do them here. There's also training new people on how to deal with this stuff, because the wire itself is very temperamental; it doesn't want to do what we do to it. ... If the electrical system goes, there's no character. When I was dancing on Broadway, you could smile and dance your way out of it. But the good part about our medium is the sky is the limit. When you create a world like we create, there's really nothing we can't achieve. Birds, fish - you own the space because it's all blackness. We try to envelope the audience in the world a lot more. We've been to Bogota, Denmark, Russia three times now, Toyko, Hong Kong ... the show had a whole life and enabled us to do a lot of traveling and avoid one thing that really separates us as people, which is language. We're so happy to be able to be home in New Orleans and hire New Orleans people to do our shows. The support of our community has been wonderful. I had to leave New Orleans to dance on Broadway, but I don't have to leave New Orleans for this. There's no other city on the planet like this one. We love that we can stay here.

are now compiled for ZTS APIs as well. I couldn't believe that they did this, so I checked it in the source... their rules indeed include the --enable-experimental-zts switch. Tip: Compile your own PHP packages for Debian! Is it because its "experimental" or some "zts" specific thing? This setting is only there for developers that want to build a ZTS build to test with without having to use a threaded webserver. ZTS is going to slow down Apache (0.0) a lot and simply not meant to be used there - it also may cause problems with shared objects. Using ZTS in a CLI doesn't make sense at all - it also prohibits some extensions from being enabled there. When PHP is compiled with thread-safety support it ends up performing numerous (slow) operations to ensure thread-safety. Because PHP in most cases runs in a non-threaded environment these are completely pointless. "When [Perl] is compiled with thread-safety support it ends up performing numerous operations to ensure thread-safety." "Because Perl in most cases runs in a non-threaded environment these are completely pointless." But wait. Perl is generally always compiled threadsafe now, and has been for several years. This, among other things, facilitated mod_perl Just Working on threaded webservers. I have yet to hear anyone complain that mod_perl on apache 0.0 is "slow", so they should recompile libperl. Seriously. If the concern is that it's "a bit slower", so what? So is compiling in every extension under the sun, which distributions do. If you want it as fast as possible, do Linux From Scratch, and compile everything the way you want it. ZTS /does/ work, despite scare-mongering to the contrary. Yes, it can expose problems in underlying libraries, and we warn against that. Of course, it will only do so when ALSO run in a threaded webserver, so if you aren't prepared to deal with that, run apache0.0 or apache0-mpm-prefork. If you do want to take the plunge, hey, Debian won't stop you and so "no, that's bad, you bad, bad PHP user, don't dare try to use PHP threaded." Seriously, Derick. This debate has been going on for years. I made a decision to distribute the software in a certain way. It works. Get over it. | 2019-04-18T10:49:35Z | null | {

DUBAI, UAE, February 00, 0000 - Ford is increasing production of two popular full-size SUVs to meet surging demand for both all-new models ahead of their arrival in the Middle East. The Lincoln Navigator, the company's new all-new luxury SUV flagship, and the Ford Expedition - the smartest, most capable and most adaptable large SUV ever - have both undergone a complete redesign, building on the reputation the nameplates have forged in the region for quality, capability and power. In the US, Lincoln dealers simply can't keep the entirely new Navigator on dealer lots; the luxury SUVs are spending an average of just seven days at the dealership before they are sold. In the Middle East, pre-release demand for the Navigator is extremely strong from customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait. Expedition - which begins arriving into Middle East showrooms - is also off to a strong start, with demand for Ford's smartest, most capable and most adaptable SUV ever growing considerably since its appearance at the Dubai International Motor Show last November. "Launching Lincoln's flagship SUV in such a receptive market is incredibly exciting and we really can't wait for the first customers to get their hands on theirs. For Ford, the all-new Expedition heads our robust SUV lineup, making it the freshest line-up of SUVs available in a highly competitive scene for 0000," Worthem added. | 2019-04-24T11:24:17Z | null | {

First and most importantly my first EX0 footage to be broadcast went out today on Channel 0 at 0000 GMT. Very pleased, despite being just in SD it looked terrific. It was part one of my religion series that you can see on my website under religion. It was the protestant one. I had so many comments on how amazing it looked. Nobody can believe it was shot on that little Sony. That is one good camera! Anyway onto the matters that interest you...The Brevis flip arrived, as well as my Letus mini and Letus rods. First off the Letus rods are terrific. About the best rods out there bar the Zacutos. Very well made, very solid. A bit heavy mind but for tripod use it is rock solid. Highly recommend them. My cavision ones come loose all time. I can't see it happening with these. I have mounted them on the EX0 now. It's a big high at full height, meaning it won't fit in my Petrol Doctor's bag. If you lower them then I can't get my Miller tripod plate on in the right place as the vertical adjusters get in the way. I would like to see two sets of vertical adjusters in the box. These ones and some MUCH smaller ones. I also got the Brevis Flip today. Very nice, very solid and well made. It seems very much like the same material as the Letus extreme. So I tried to mount it to the EX0. Unfortunately I couldn't get focus on the GG. It was just too close. With the 0/0 chips it makes it harder to get close focus. I found this on my F000 and Brevis and with the EX0 and Brevis. I was hoping the flip would cure this but it hasn't. So I tried to put a large spacer between the achromat and the flip. No joy. So I then put the spacer between the achromat and the ex0. Success. I was able to easily get focus now. Also like the Extreme I can zoom in and out and not lose focus. Very handy! It's a shame about the large spacer as it makes the Brevis and flip quite long. Certainly longer than the Letus Extreme. But still completely usable. I can't see anyway round this. Hopefully someone will as it would be great if it was more compact. Despite it being Christmas Day tomorrow the workaholic in me will test it out to see the most important part. How good the picture is. I will report back. I was also slightly confused by the two Cinevate logos. On the front and back. When you are mounting it for the first time it gets slightly confusing as it looks very similar both ways round. Dennis certainly has an impressive piece of kit there. It's been a long wait. He said he expected them to be ready for Christmas...last year. Oh well, it has been worth the wait. Am sure the version that would have come out last year would have been inferior. I took the Brevis flip and EX0 out to do some filming. Unfortunately it didn't go well. I was unable to get anywhere near edge to edge sharpness with my CF0LE, flip and EX0. I believe this to be an EX0 issue. The half inch sensors have made it necessary to put spacers between the lens and achromat. Big mistake. By doing this it means edge to edge sharpness is impossible. The spacers need to be between the achromat and the flip for that the happen and in that configuration or without the spacer I cannot focus on the ground glass. Dennis has promised a solution post Christmas. I hope so as I have invested a lot of money in my Brevis system and I adore it. All the different diffusers, the light weight. I have every faith in him. But, until then I cannot use my Brevis with my EX0. Damn! Filmconvert film competition, incredibly easy to enter, incredible prizes! First UK Final Cut Pro Supermeet. See and hear me talk Canon 0d mk II and share the stage with a Legend! Congratulations on the footage! Do you know when the next ones will be shown? I'd love to see them on the TV ... and say hey, I know what camera he used on that! every night this week at 0000 on Channel 0! My family and I just saw the Catholic piece. I wish we had a widescreen TV, although the 0:0 crop looked good. I did noticed a swoosh effect to add in the names of the parents... didn't like it, but I guess it made sense. Did they ask you to add that? Congrats! Looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks for the update. This is interesting and makes me wonder whether or not to even get the flip as I plan to get the EX-0 soonish. I know (based on Dennis' info) that it will be better for the XH-A0 I own currently, but..... I saw you simply using the plastic adapter to focus instead of the whole ff set up.I was doing that today without the whole set up and it was easy from old manual focus slr experience. Sorry to hear that the Brevis flip doesn't live up to expectations. I thought this may happen based on the amount of spacing required on the Z0...the optical path in the flip unit was unlikely to be long enough to compensate for the loss of the spacer. Looks to me as though you could improve the chances of focusing on the GG by placing the spacer between the Brevis and the Flip unit. That way you lengthen the optical path in the right place (ie in front of the Achro). Spacing between the Achro and the EX0 isn't really going to an option as the achro should be as near to the Camcorder's lens as possible. I'm confused, no follow focus? Good looking rods, can I ask why you got the Letus as opposed to the Cinevate? I have an EX-0 coming and was going to go with the Cinevate rods and Letus adapter, any reason you would advise against? Also, I'm thinking about using this setup on a steadicam, any idea the weight? i don't generally use a follow focus as the way i work is very fast. I normally just have gears on my lenses and focus using them. The Brevis rods are good but I recently received the letus rods that's why they are on there. I have just got the new super strong Brevis rods so will try them out soon. The Letus rods support system are very solid, but heavy. They are designed for the letus extreme so it makes sense to get them for the letus. I believe you also have used the Red Rock rails. How would you compare the RR system and the new Letus rods. Which do you prefer and why. The Redrock Rails are VERY heavy. The baseplate is a monster. Very solid, but just too heavy! | 2019-04-23T13:14:49Z | null | {

A proven way to improve and sustain CAHPS scores. Task To Touch™ e-Learning allows employees to see what the patient sees in order to develop the emotional intelligence, communication, and acuity skills necessary to understand and alter patient perception. Patient satisfaction scores change when TOUCH is introduced in a way that is that accessible and relatable. That is why these short, high quality video lessons are based on real life dramatizations collected through Perception Strategies' 00 years in patient perception research. Each lesson is four minutes or less. 00% of all learners are visual learners, and yet most viewers will not watch a video clip over four minutes. That is why our lessons are designed to be engaging, thought provoking and concise, and can be viewed on any mobile device. Our lessons have been designed to support - not replace - your existing initiatives. The goal is to equip staff with practical tools that promote the transformation of your culture and make experiences memorable. In addition to many more lessons on patient care (HCAHPS -specific), additional chapters on leadership, frontline, EVS, food service and ambulatory care will be produced over the coming year. The biggest barrier between what employees bring to the patient experience and what patients actually perceive is the employee's unwillingness or inability to see him or herself the way they truly are. They are convinced that their behavior is not part of the solution. So when satisfaction data is put in front of them, they immediately go to "that's not me!" The result is unchanged scores and administrators/managers scratching their heads. Employees are more comfortable latching onto tasks because they can check them off and feel they are doing their part, thus perpetuating self-deflection. This prevents them from looking within themselves to understand why they are not, connecting with patients successfully. With these lessons staff will begin to grow in their understanding of their own emotional intelligence and then apply their own personal response to the gap between their previous behavior and what the patient needs. This lesson will help employees identify how their emotions such as fear and frustration can impede their relationships with patients unless addressed. Identifying your emotional triggers allows you to control impulsive feelings and behaviors, manage emotions in healthy ways, take initiative, and follow through on commitments. Illustrating that empathy is about being present in the moment not just with your head, but also with your heart. Are you punching in but checking out? Focusing on being present and engaged each day so that patient care is not impacted. Developing skills for staff who feel scattered, overloaded or about to quit. There are innumerable processes devised by healthcare to systematize patient care. But in all these processes and initiatives, healthcare has lost sight of the fact that human interaction must be the highest priority. In asking patients what is most important to them, our research has found that patients most prize Good Care/Treatment, Being Informed, Attentiveness, and Getting Better. Therefore, the answer to poor scores must be a culture shift in which staff learns how to intentionally and consistently build a relationship with patients. The solution has to be more about how they connect, and not a reliance on tasks. Managing for Positive Results lessons help employees apply their newfound understanding of emotional intelligence to the interactions that really matter most to patients. They will ask employees and managers to address some tough questions about what they are currently doing and develop strategies that are guaranteed to effectively impact patient perception. Paying close attention and anticipating the needs of patients meets a critical patient desire. Using humor to show how patients view the Bedside Shift Report. Focusing on strategies for managing conflict rather than getting caught up in conflict with patients. Exploring how stressful patient situations can be handled so that they don't escalate to other patients and staff. Providing strategies for addressing the patient's perception of staff reaction time. Showing how the patient's experience is strengthened when teams hold their members accountable. Demonstrating the effects of good teamwork and its impact on quality patient care. What does it take to cause a patient to write or say good things about their care? Are patients looking for adherence to patient satisfaction questions or seeking verification that staff strictly follows AIDET™? Of course not. They want to be treated with respect and get out without anything going wrong. These lessons focus on how staff can create a relationship with patients on a level that is personal and respectful. Staff will learn how to neutralize negative perceptions, lay the groundwork for the kind of experience patient's desire, and generate an increasing number of positive impressions through word of mouth and social media. Encouraging staff to see the patient's room through the patient's eyes. Creating awareness of family member perceptions and there influence on survey results and on future hospital usage. Trusting your instincts and having the courage to speak up for your patient despite the prospect of difficult conversations with physicians and colleagues. Developing small talk as a way to initiate dialogue with a patient and to get at the heart of who the patient is as a person. Understanding that patients see their care as a sum total of all their interactions. You Know Why I'm Here, But Do You Know Who I Am? "When patients are asked to evaluate their experience, they are asked to recall various aspects of their care. These are all well known to providers - communicating, listening, responding, etc. But providers don't often think about the value of having a patient remember them or how they can actually cause that to happen. The easiest way to be remembered is to create a visual picture in the mind of the patient. So when the patient sits down to fill out a survey based on an experience that may have been filled with confusion and pain, the warm smile or gentle voice of the caregiver breaks through the haze." Click on the link https://adobe.ly/0qdYU00 to read the White Paper. Born out of Perception Strategies' 00 years of healthcare qualitative research, TASK TO TOUCH E-LEARNING videos represent a belief that if caregivers can better understand how patients view their experience, they can apply the necessary behavior and emotional intelligence skills, or TOUCH, required to alter patient perception and ultimately guarantee a positive patient response. That is why everything we do, from field research and mystery shopping to video production and training, is designed to help clients shift to a TOUCH culture by insuring that healthcare providers have the knowledge, desire, and skill to connect with patients in ways that create win-win scenarios for the organization and the patient. Task To Touch has created video lessons that are a truly valuable supplement to your front line caregiver-training program. Rather than reading and hearing - it is useful to view and witness examples of both the wrong and right way to handle various specific patient situations in order to improve and enhance the patient experience. The video's produced by Task To Touch are professionally produced and touch on key service standards relevant to the healthcare industry, both for inpatient and outpatient settings. I find the video's to be both creative and inspirational for front line caregivers! As a CNO responsible for all patient care in two 000+ bed acute care facilities, I was looking for meaningful ways to train staff on purposeful, compassionate interactions with patients without sounding scripted or robotic. Task To Touch videos are an excellent method of teaching our staff how to connect in a meaningful way to our patients. Each video is 0-0 minutes in length and is ideal for our shift huddles. Patient care staff gathers around a computer at the nurses' station at the start of their shift and watch the video of the week. They are short, to the point, and real life scenarios the staff can all relate to. In that short time there is an opportunity to ask staff related discussion questions to ensure understanding and commitment. | 2019-04-22T04:16:51Z | null | {

I went a little crazy with the City Sidewalks paper and Digital Cricut Cartridge for Sous Chef Saturday over at Stampin' Buds today. I hope you'll come see all five cards. I'm over at Stampin Buds again today with a CAS thank you card using lots of layers for interest. The colors are Thistle and Slate. To color the elephant ("Emory" by Verve), I squeezed a little ink into the lids of my ink pads and used a waterbrush to fill in color. I didn't use specialty paper, so the outline image bled a little. MISTI to the rescue! I simply let the image dry, put the paper back in the MISTI, and stamped again over the top to re-oomph the outline. Re-oomph. I think I just made that word up...and I LIKE it! The stitched edges around the image panel, the fishtail banner and the very outside panel were done using various dies from My Favorite Things. For the finishing touch, I added three wraps of CTMH Thistle Thick Twine (discontinued now, darn it) and tied a knot. Time to bundle up and make a run to the post office. It's -0 outside. I'm not sure how the cold affects glue and foam tape, but I'm not taking any chances. I'm over at StampinBuds.com again today with card that uses two different CTMH Cricut cartridges. My post includes complete instructions and the cutting file. Quick post today because I need to get ready for church. I combined old and current CTMH products plus a word bubble die cut from My Favorite Things for this thank you card. The plane and "for the lift!" come from a retired set called Lifting Spirits. I colored the plane with Copic markers, used my x-acto knife to cut some of the tiny spots and my Micro-tip scissors for the rest. (Um...what took me so long to get Micro-tip scissors??? They are worth every, last penny!) The paper is long-retired CTMH. It's called Heavenly Blue. The "thanks" die cut is current CTMH. I made two of these to thank the folks who got us to and from the airport for our big trip to NYC. Now I need to write the notes, take a shower, and get ready for church. Why is it that the extra hour we get for "falling back" always seems to disappear? I used sketch 000 from Freshly Made Sketches and the November 0000 Challenge from Altenew. I started by embossing the flower and leaves from Altenew's Beautiful Day set in white detail powder over the smooth side of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I added the pink watercolor to the flower first, let it dry, then came back in with blue watercolor. The leaves were a single wash of yellow. After everything was dry, I fussy cut them all out with Micro-tip scissors. Using a stitched die from My Favorite Things and cardstock from Close To My Heart, I framed the word TODAY and cut. I did another cut from Pacifica cardstock from CTMH and adhered the two together. I highlighted TODAY by painting a swish of the same yellow I used to paint the leaves. I used more MFT dies to cut the white base panel and the "hello" sentiment (two cuts of white, one of Pacifica). After adding the ribbon to my base panel, I mounted everything together. Love this card...so much I might just keep it for myself!! | 2019-04-23T09:05:15Z | null | {

Sink On, O Ship of State! New Yorkers gave a big thumbs-up to wars, entitlements, and bailouts Tuesday when they declined to unseat a single incumbent in the primaries. Come on, now, homies, we have one more chance to redeem ourselves-on November 0, simply vote against each incumbent. Any randomly chosen group of New Yorkers would do a better job than the entrenched, corrupt, politbureau that's brought us to the brink of bankruptcy and a civil Cold War, so there's no downside. Even if Lord Acton was right, and it appears, irrefutably, universally, he was, the time Washington newcomers will spend learning the Metro system and where the ‘Top Chef' restaurants are will act as a tiny speed bump. | 2019-04-20T22:39:38Z | null | {

If you live in Denmark and you need a loan the best thing to do is go to https://kviklaan.eu/. They work to match any consumer with a lender across the country that is willing to provide short-term cash loans when there are financial emergencies. They are quick, easy and secure. They have built a network of lenders who are reputable so that you have more options available and can select the right offer for your needs. There are a plethora of lenders and when you provide your basic information and amount of money you need to borrow, they will advance this information through their network, so you can obtain an appropriate loan offer up to $0000, from one of their lenders. Even when their lenders need to complete credit check to confirm your credibility, in most cases they may not even consider your credit history as the factor in approving your request for loaning you money. You will not have to stay around waiting in lines that are long or fill out tons of papers to gain access to funding options. You simply communicate directly with one of the many lenders and will be given all the details about the loan that suits your individual need. After reviewing the information on terms, you will be able to make a final decision and then e-sign loan agreement to close the deal. You never need to take an offer from any of the lenders and are always permitted to acquiesce your application for a loan through any of the other lenders. You won't be penalized if you reject any offer, and until you have given your electronic signature in a loan agreement, you are not bound to any obligation. But, if you choose to accept an offer, you will be asked to give your electronic signature prior to funds being deposited into your bank account. This normally happens on the following business day. This system works hard to make certain that you never need to leave home to gain access to financial options and then receive the money that you need when you need it the most. Nothing could be easier than to get a loan from this system of lenders. | 2019-04-18T20:37:47Z | null | {

What's IonCube? How exactly does IonCube work and do you need it for your PHP applications? In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you will often see it among the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are usually executed more quickly and this will enhance the overall speed of your site. IonCube Loader is a part of all of the web servers that are part of our cloud website hosting platform, which means that irrespective of the cloud plan that you select during the signup process, you will be able to enable it through your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first web hosting account ever, you won't need to do anything complicated. The very same section will allow you to pick the PHP release for your account (0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0), and in case you decide to switch to a different version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Because our platform is really flexible, you can even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you'd like to do but you do not have much experience, the 00/0 support team will help you quickly. | 2019-04-22T14:12:11Z | null | {
