I am 65 years old, and I am so grateful to myself that I have a beautiful career, and I make a nice living. I help so many people with my psychic gifts. I have some regrets as to how I handled my money when I was younger. I was brought up in a middle class family. My parents constantly worried about money all the time, and they were very conservative with spending money. I grew up believing that I was not loved, because they did not spoil me by spending money on me. I think while I was growing up we went to a restaurant once. My mother, being from India, was the best cook on the planet with all her wonderful Indian curry dishes, etc. Now, because through the years I spent money on myself to make me feel loved, I am not able to do the things I would love to do now-like travel the world.
I only remembered a small portion of my dreams. I woke up out of sorts and very tired. I believe that Ganesh and Shiva worked on me very hard last night. Both are very powerful Deities, so one would have been enough. I could not remember most of what I dreamed except for one portion. There was a prosperity alter for the public. it appeared to be a physical place where there was green grass and a walkway where people could go up to it and connect with it. For me, it was a reminder that we have within us our own inner prosperity alter that we can access anytime we want.
I received some cute little unexpected gifts and miracle yesterday. Thank you Ganesh and Shiva. | 2019-04-25T10:14:34 | https://blog.pinkchickpsychic.com/my-prosperity-alter-dream/ |

If you’re in possession of the property freehold, you have the full legal ownership of the building and the land it stands on. It also means you have full responsibility for the maintenance and repairs to the property.
This is different from a leasehold property where you buy the right to live there from the freeholder (for example, to occupy a flat, but not the building itself). At the end of the lease, the property again becomes the possession of the freeholder.

Keeping employees engaged and happy in the workplace is one of the most important variables that a company should pay attention to. The corporate wellness industry is on a constant evolution, especially over the past few years. Wellness professionals inside companies have steady positions and coordinate all management measures so they align to better workplace wellness standards. They are designated to make sure that employee wellness programs have continuity and are keeping up with the trends in the industry. Some of the best trends to look out for in 2019 are described below.
At the beginning of this year, a court decision eliminated the wellness program incentives that were previously established. In these circumstances, employers have several dilemmas and they must decide if their wellness programs fall into the voluntary conditions of the ADA and Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act.
Legal propositions may be received by the summer of this year, but until then, the terrain remains a bit uncertain and unclear. Until then, employers and managers, as well as wellness program coordinators, should monitor and enforce a positive development of these measures. Closer collaboration with legal advisors is recommended in this context, as well.
This article raises a very relevant matter to discussion. Workplace wellness programs might gather plenty of health data on each employee and who is making sure that the data is fully protected? After all, the volume of wellness information gathered by companies is enormous: from gym records to lab tests and wellness portals, each employee leaves an obvious trace of health data behind.
In this context, companies have to make sure that all their clients know who is in their data’s possession, who their data is shared with and so on. When choosing wellness vendors, employers should make sure that they guarantee high levels of privacy and security to the final user and follow all the standards in the industry.
Self-care seemed to be the main trend in 2018 when it came to wellness programs. And there is no reason why this trend wouldn’t continue in 2019 as well. Both employees and employers realize that self-care is an essential workplace mindfulness habit that should be adopted by everybody. According to this Harvard Business Review, most wellness programs fail when a wellness-oriented company culture lack. Prioritizing self-care and encouraging employees to profit from all the perks of these programs is absolutely necessary.
Some of the big players in various industries make a point of boosting self-care awareness and mindfulness practices among their employees as these practices are due to boost employee productiveness and results.
Employees today are under enormous pressure. More pressure than in the past, considering the fact that they have more tasks delegated to them and, generally, chaotic lifestyles. This survey reports that almost half of the interviewed employees experience workplace-related burnout symptoms. This phenomenon is common regardless of the industry and it translates into lower productivity levels and more errors of different kinds. Besides, lower engagement rates appear in those workers that experience burnout.
To address this issue, managers should be able to identify and properly address the problem. Frequent encouragement and reassurance that employees are allowed to take a day off, relax and recharge should be a common practice.
Managers should also implement flexible schedules and should allow working from home more often to reduce stress and anxiety among their employees.
Having a clean workplace has incredible powers when it comes to assuring better workplace wellness levels. It can influence performance and productivity and reduce stress and anxiety levels. People, generally, feel overwhelmed when working in unclean and crowded spaces. Anxiety is fairly common in similar spaces and clean offices positively impact your employee’s spirits and productivity levels. People working in crowded places generally experience unidentified stress. They tend to feel overwhelmed by having to constantly dig through piles of documents, papers and picking up various things off the floor. This may seem like a small detail, but employees are disturbed by it and their productivity levels are impacted.
While each employee should acknowledge the importance of maintaining their workstation and office clean, office cleaning services are another measure that managers and business owners should consider when trying to tackle this issue. These services are usually provided by specialised vendors and can be contracted after working hours. This way, your employees’ workflow won’t be affected by the presence of a cleaning team.
Not all employees have similar needs when it comes to wellness programs. Wellness is highly personal and everybody needs different measures and solutions to their issues. Thus, implementing a linear wellness program is inefficient.
Today’s trends in regards to wellness programs concentrate increasingly on integrating AI in their processes and creating a more personalised experience for beneficiaries. By leveraging the data gathered, all companies will soon be able to create a better user experience overall and allow them to address and find solutions to their own specific needs.
While many companies may not afford to invest in recent technology, personalization can be easily achieved by asking employees for feedback. Let them know that all programs can be tailored to their needs, as long as they ask for it.
Financial well-being is a topic that has increased in importance over the past few years. Several research papers claim that almost 15% of the interviewed employees had access to multiple resources provided by their employers, designed to increase their financial stability. Financial worries and problems are due to distracting employees in the workplace and similar measures are due to decrease monetary worries and make employees more productive and positive while in the workplace.
These are some of the main employee wellness trends that were anticipated for 2019. Companies seem to be increasingly concerned about their workers’ wellbeing and mindfulness than they were just a few years back. | 2019-04-19T22:24:52 | http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/employee-wellness-trends-in-2019-all-employers-should-follow-72623/ |

A New York woman was sentenced to more than 2 years in jail after pleading guilty on Tuesday to larceny for defrauding the One Fund.
The One Fund Boston was set up by Mayor Tom Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick to help those affected by the Marathon bombings. Credit: www.onefundboston.org.
A New York woman who defrauded the fund meant to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings used hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure construction of a brand new home for herself and will now be living behind bars.
Audrea Gause, 27, of Troy, N.Y., pleaded guilty on Tuesday to larceny over $250 during a hearing at Suffolk Superior Court. She was sentenced to serve between 2 1/2 years and three years in state prison, according to the attorney general's office. Prosecutors had sought the maximum sentence of five years in jail.
Authorities said that Gause submitted a notarized claim to the One Fund about two months after the bombings. The claims, which came with purported medical records from Boston Medical Center, explained that Gause suffered a brain injury from the bombings as well as impaired speech and a loss of motor function. Based on the claim and medical records, the One Fund sent her a check for $480,000.
Of the money received, Gause spent more than $377,000 on a down payment for a new construction home. Prosecutors also said she singed up for a "Heroes Cruise" that was being offered for free to the bombing victims.
Investigators later received information that Gause was not in Boston during the Marathon. An inquiry found that she was not a patient at Boston Medical Center on the day of the bombings as she claimed. She was arrested in New York in July 2013.
Authorities seized the money that was given to her and it will be returned to the One Fund.
"It is disturbing that this defendant would attempt to steal from the real victims of the Marathon bombing through fraud and deceit," Attorney General Martha Coakley said in a statement.
Coakley's office also charged two brothers from Boston in August 2013 for their alleged attempt to defraud the One Fund of $2 million by submitting a false claim for their dead aunt. They have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for trial in June. | 2019-04-22T02:40:26 | https://www.metro.us/local/new-york-woman-gets-jail-for-defrauding-one-fund/tmWnet---5ajEF4jTesY |
My 3 month mission to dispose of 20 tonnes of out of expired drugs and medical items is complete ahead of schedule. MSF built the waste zone at the city teaching hospital to help them get rid of out of date medicines correctly and also to stop used medical waste from just been tipped in the country side and set on fire which is their only method since the war. I was sent to teach them how to segregate and which method of destruction should be done, Incineration , encapsulation,dilution or dissolution.
Its not been easy with 40 degrees outside temperature and then add the heat of the incinerator which ran at 1000 degrees. Also due to security I have to go everywhere by jeep no walking outside the compounds. Being in the capital made life easy with aircon, good food and a local hotel swimming pool at the weekend.
Two days ago I was told I am being sent to South Sudan this coming Wednesday. I should be away between 6-9 months so may be back for some of the 2019 insecting season.
I have a new friend in the garden.
Returning from Bangladesh I was totally exhausted add to that Giardia and Dengue fever, so its taken me till now to recover and now I feel fitter than before my mission. So I’ve taken this opportunity between missions to tick some of my local bucket list off. Three longer cycle rides, Grafham water 55 miles, Ely 42 miles and Saffron Walden 43 miles. I have been wanting to cycle these for at least 9 years.

US tech giants are being attacked from all angles by innovative young startups.
UK startup idio is taking on US tech giants like IBM and Oracle with its content intelligence platform that aims to help sales and marketing teams to target customers more effectively.
idio claims that its analytics platform can provide businesses with insights on how their digital content - be it on their website, in their newsletters or in their social media streams - can be adapted to help them land sales.
This is undoubtedly a useful tool for businesses that are increasingly looking to deliver highly targeted content as consumers suffer from information overload.
idio’s dashboard can show businesses which "topics" are getting the most sales, and it can push interests and content recommendations for a potential customer to Salesforce - a company with whom idio holds a strategic partnership.
Enterprises looking to use idio are given access to the main platform but they must then buy one of the vendor's three main products in order to get the most valuable insights.
The company claims it has gone head-to-head with IBM and Oracle on a number of contracts and won, although it won't disclose them.
idio’s existing customers include the likes of J.P. Morgan, Unilever, NHS and Oxfam.
idio raised $6.2 million (£4 million) in a Series funding round last year to help it expand overseas and further develop its technology. It currently has eight staff in the US and approximately 30 in the UK, based out of an office on London's Great Portland Street.
IBM and Oracle had not responded to Techworld's request for comment at the time of publication. | 2019-04-22T00:44:13 | https://www.techworld.com/news/startups/uk-startup-idio-takes-on-ibm-oracle-with-customer-insight-platform-3622841/ |

A flexible/offset mortgage that can keep all your finances in one place. It combines your mortgage with a current account and the money in the current account can be automatically set against the mortgage balance and then interest only charged on the outstanding amount of the loan.
In practice this should mean that interest payments should be reduced.
A written instrument that, when executed and delivered, transfers ownership of a property.
This is when you have failed to make payments as you have agreed to. In property terms this is normally used when talking about missed payments on your mortgage.
Completion is classed as delayed if they take over 28 days to complete after exchange of contracts.
These schemes ensure that money paid by tenants as deposits are kept safe and a landlord must use either a custodial or insured scheme if they take deposits.
Loss in value of an asset over its estimated useful life.
Disbursements are the term used to mean legal costs involved with purchasing a property.
This is a variable rate mortgage that is discounted from the Bank of England's base rate. It is usually discounted by a set percentage but will increase / decrease in line with the Bank of England's base rate.
For Example: If the Base Rate is 2% and the discount is 0.5%, the actual rate will be 1.5%. If the base rate increases to 3%, the actual rate will be 2.5%.
The discounted rate is normally for a set period of time and there are usually early repayment charges that will be charged if the loan is repaid within the discounted period. | 2019-04-23T21:56:07 | https://www.justdoproperty.co.uk/property-fundamentals/jargon-buster?start=90 |
Aspiring Olympic long track speed skater Brett Perry of Midland earned a key milestone recently in his bid to make the U.S. Olympic team for the Winter Games in South Korea in February.
Perry skated a personal-best time of 35.91 seconds in the 500-meter race at the Fall World Cup Qualifier two weekends ago in Kearns, Utah, where he has also been training for the past couple of years.
Perry's previous best time was 36.03 seconds in the 500, the event in which he hopes to qualify for the Olympics.
Perry placed sixth in the World Cup Qualifier, needing to place in the top five to qualify. But he was elated to break under 36 seconds in the 500.
"I'm really happy with it," Perry, 24, said by phone from Utah. "Breaking 36 seconds and shaving a tenth of a second off of my personal best, that's pretty good."
The long track Olympic trials will be held Jan. 2-7 at the Pettit Center in Milwaukee, Wis. Perry said that only two spots are currently available for the 500-meter race on the U.S. Olympic team, but added that if the U.S. World Cup team performs well enough in upcoming international competitions, a third spot could be awarded to the U.S.
"I'm hoping we can get three spots. It'd be a lot better for me," Perry said.
Perry is coached by Tucker Fredricks, a three-time U.S. Olympic skater who holds the U.S. record in the 500 at 34.31 seconds, and is an 11-time World Cup gold medalist in the 500. | 2019-04-20T03:09:49 | https://www.ourmidland.com/sports/article/Perry-looking-forward-to-Olympic-Trials-12302081.php |
You know very well that dissertation is not going to write itself. The question is who is going to be doing the composition? You have an enormous amount of work assigned to you already. It can be research, teaching requirements, any other needs of your advisor for your department. It happens there is simply not enough time and you are under a deadline constraint.

With a big shift in weather and temperature (or multiple shifts, in Alberta’s case), spring is a time of transition for our bodies. We tend to fall victim to colds, flus and general irritability and grumpiness. From a Chinese Medicine stance, spring is when Yang energy comes back to the surface and flourishes after a dormant winter season. It is also the season of the wood element, which pertains to our Liver and Gallbladder (more on that later!).
Here are a few tips on how to keep healthy during this season of flux!
Wear a scarf and keep your pants on!
The napes of our necks are vulnerable to pathogenic factors. Leaving our necks open to spring winds can lead to headaches, achy muscles, colds and flus. Wearing a scarf helps protect your neck from the cold and wind.
It’s also tempting to bust out the shorts and sandals as soon as you see a hint of grass on the edge of the lawn. Stay bundled up! This doesn’t mean keep the parka until June, but be mindful of the weather, and keep the long pants and shoes for now; especially in the evening when the temperature still drops below zero. This prevents sore muscles, cramping and colds.
Make sure you get your z’s!
Make sure you’re getting your shut eye! As the days get longer, it’s tempting to stay up later (Netflix, anyone?). 11pm-3am is the time associated with your spring organs, Gallbladder and Liver. It’s important to get restful sleep during these hours to ensure proper recovery for these already overworked systems. Not getting enough sleep during these hours (especially during the spring) can lead to irritability and lowered immune response.
A great way to keep our immune systems boosted and our hearts pumping is getting up and moving around. As the weather starts to behave, walking or jogging outside is a great option for boosting your immune system. Being outside in nature has also been shown to improve your mood and sense of wellbeing (Miyasaki, 2011).
Eat Immune System boosting foods!
Eat for the season! Our immune systems or Wei Qi is working overtime, so be sure to help it out by eating lots of steamed or baked dishes.
Of course! Acupuncture, Moxabustion, Guasha are all excellent tools for increasing your immune system, and also helping to treat headaches, colds and body aches. A specific acupuncture treatment plan tailored to your body’s needs is a great preventative way to keep healthy, but also ward off those nasty colds we tend to get in springtime.
There you have it! Now you’re well rested, well fed, bundled up and strolling to your acupuncture appointment, you’re well equipped to stay healthy during the spring!

This edited tutorial comes to you from Michael Allen Smith, founder of INeedCoffee.com. His full version can be seen here, and his site is here. Check them out! Note that he has much more background and general information in his original tutorial.
The Chemex brews coffee using the infusion method, which makes it most similar to drip coffee in terms of body and taste. Its unbleached filters are a little thicker than those used by auto-drip filters. The result is a slower brew and a richer cup of coffee. Although not as rich as the French press, the Chemex does produce a sediment free cup of coffee that will impress anyone used to the weaker taste of most auto-drip coffee machines.
A Chemex, Chemex coffee filter, hot water, and coffee.
For dosage, Chemex advises 1 rounded tablespoon of regular-grind coffee per 5-oz cup. Like any other brewing method, your best coffee will come after you make your own adjustments to the dosage. By regular grind, they mean coffee ground for an auto-drip. If the coffee is too weak either increase the dosage or grind a little finer. If the coffee gets clogged then use a coarser grind.
Although they use a very similar brewing style, the Chemex and the auto-drip have some distinct differences. The first is the Chemex carafe is a heat-resistant glass beaker, not an electrical appliance. This means you will need a kettle to heat the water prior to using the Chemex. One of the complaints with many auto-drip machines is a brewing temperature that is too low. Although it is more work to heat up water in a kettle and then gradually transfer it to the Chemex, having complete control over the brewing temperature can yield a superior cup of coffee. And because it isnt an electrical appliance, the Chemex doesnt keep the coffee warm. It is your responsibility to keep Chemex coffee warm should you brew a full pot. The upside of not being an electrical appliance is you can take it camping. Just be sure to bring a kettle or pot to boil water over the campfire.
Chemex coffee also takes a little longer to make. The filters used are thicker than standard drip coffee filters. This translates into a longer saturation period before passing through the filter. Those used to auto-drip coffee will be able to detect the richness difference immediately.
Using a drip-grind, grind up the amount of coffee you wish to brew. Note: The Chemex is available in 8,10, and 13 cup models.
Setup the square filter inside the Chemex. Note: There are other filters which can be substituted, they should be easy enough to figure out. The following instructions are for the standard square filters. Youll notice the filter is a square folded twice. When you look down at it you will see 4 pieces of paper or 3 sections. Bend 3 of the pieces to one side. Once you separate the filter it forms a cone. This is where the grounds will go. Ive read that you should rest the side of the filter with 3 sections toward the lip of the beaker for better saturation, but my experience tells me this isnt important.
Place the ground coffee inside the filter.
Once the water boils, remove it from its heat source. Its always good to wait a few seconds before pouring to bring the temperature down from 212° F to the 200-205° F range.
The initial pour is very important. Instead of pouring all the water onto the grounds as you would with a press pot, you should only pour enough water to saturate the beans. Chemex states that wetting the grounds allows them to bloom. After you wet the grounds wait 20-40 seconds. During this time trapped carbon dioxide (CO2) escapes from the grounds. The result is the grounds become heavier and they cling to the bottom of the filter. Some theorize that because most auto-drip machines dont do this step, the grounds inside those filters float and thereby do not get maximum flavor extraction.
20-40 seconds after the wetting, gradually start pouring more water. Dont fill it to the very top. Always allow at least an inch of room at the top. Stop pouring the water when youve reached your desired amount of coffee.
Once the water has passed through the filter, remove the filter and pour!
Like a press pot and most vac pots, it is your responsibility to keep any extra coffee warm. Besides chugging the remaining coffee quickly, two ideas come to mind. The first is transferring any extra coffee to a thermal carafe. Many people already do this with their auto-drip to prevent the coffee from cooking on the burner. The second idea is to place the Chemex on the burner where you heated your kettle water. If you used an electric kettle, then of course this idea wont work. The burner will be cooled from the initial water boil, but it will still be somewhat warmer than the counter-top. An electrical burner will be much hotter than the grate of a gas stove, so Chemex sells a wire grid that fits on top of the electric burner to prevent your glass brewer from cracking. If you decide to go this route, be sure to find a cover for the top to prevent heat loss in that direction.
If the water passed through the filter as fast as a typical drip brewer then your grind is probably too coarse. Otherwise your dosage could be too low. A combination of using a finer grind and more coffee should produce a more robust cup of coffee.
Reduce your dosage and try again.
Although a small amount of water at the end of a brew cycle may not pass through the filter, the majority should. Consider a slightly coarser grind.
Are you a home roaster? Super fresh coffee will have more CO2 in it than something roasted at the store a few days ago. Ive found that super fresh coffee takes longer to settle after the initial pour. As long as the majority of the grounds have settled this is not an issue. Ive even experimented with have a 2nd round of pre-wetting with beans just out of the roaster with good results.
As stated in my press pot article - I feel your pain. Buy the Bodum Ibis electric kettle. You will thank me.
In Uncommon Grounds, author Mark Pendergrast stated the Chemex was difficult to clean. I disagree. Its a piece of glass. Rinse it out with hot soapy water. If it needs something more then it is dish washer safe. Just be sure to remove the handle. Untie the leather knot and the handle will fall right off.
So does the Chemex make good coffee? Yes, but like many brewing systems it takes a little patience to find your sweet spot. The first few pots I made I found the body too thin for my liking. After tweaking the dosage and grind, I was able to make coffee that approached the richness of the press pot. However, the Chemex brewer is not for everyone. If you arent a hands on coffee person then you wont enjoy the Chemex. If you dont mind the hands on approach and want a superior drip brewing system, then you should consider the Chemex.
Michael Allen Smith is the founder of INeedCoffee. When he isnt drinking coffee he works as a Senior Software Engineer for an energy management company in San Diego, CA.
American chemist Peter Schlumbohm (1896-1962) invented the Chemex brewer. It was released by the Chemex Corporation in 1942. This was during a time when 64% of all household coffee was made using a percolator. | 2019-04-26T12:32:47 | http://howtobrewcoffee.com/chemex.htm |

Vinyasa flow is based on a dynamic sequence of flowing postures linked together using the breath.
The class will generally start with a grounding sequence then will explore a sequence of dynamic postures and end with a guided relaxation. Each class will be different and can be based around a peak posture or an aspect of yoga philosophy.
Some prior experience of yoga is helpful to aid with the flow of the sequence. | 2019-04-25T14:12:11 | https://www.jordanscourtyard.co.uk/wellness-and-yoga/yoga-barn/vinyasa-flow-yoga/ |
Companies need to be able to track how successful their activity actually is compared to the goal it is aiming to achieve. Digital marketing methods such as PPC and email marketing provide obvious and credible measurements of success, but social media is often accused of not being as easy to track as its fellow online channels. How do you, therefore, go about tracking social media and what are effective measurements of success?
Firstly you need to establish clearly defined campaign goals before attempting to actually see whether those goals have been met! Remember that social media is very good at building communities and extending a digital arm to your customer service channels, so measuring the amount of leads/purchases accredited to social platforms is not always the best way to judge its impact. Follower/fan base is one way to see if what you are doing is working, but try to delve deeper – what you are trying to do online is ENGAGE with your customers and potential future customers.
You are building a community so this is what you should try to measure. On a weekly basis see how many mentions your brand has got online, how many of them were directed to your social media accounts and also how many came from your own accounts. Set these up as a ‘ratio of engagement’ to see how successfully you are engaging online. Only once you start to engage will your follower base grow, so it stands to reason that once you start to engage the amount of followers/fans you have becomes a credible metric to measure. | 2019-04-22T20:48:45 | https://www.clearcutwebdesign.co.uk/blog/is-social-media-measureable/ |
I just bought a "new" PlayBook 4G on eBay. The tablet seems brand new, but the accessories are used.
I have a big problem with the use of stylus... It works very badly. the screen does not respond unless I press very hard.
Post an image of the stylus? I had a stylus that was aweful and one that worked fine. It could be the stylus.
If you can use it properly with your finger, than it's probably the stylus.
You better avoid pressing too hard on the screen, you could damage it. I would rather give up using the stylus.
Si it's not "my" PlayBook who has a problem ? PlayBook's screen is bad for stylus ?
Most probably this stylus is not working well on your PlayBook. Try another stylus.
I have used several types of stylus, including Dagi and different apps. Frustrating experience, I gave up.
OP, If you are planning on writing on the screen with a stylus do give up. The screen does not respond fast or a curated enough for that. You can scribble, you can somewhat draw, but that's about it. I have the same stylish as you (the black one). | 2019-04-23T15:57:35 | https://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-f222/problem-stylus-966925-print/ |
The Detroit Lions are back in 2018! The Lions are ready to show why they are one of the most dangerous teams this season and return to the postseason! Don't miss your chance to see the Lions in 2018! Check out the NFL schedule, find your seats, and get your Lions tickets today!
Established in 1930, the Detriot Lions are one of the NFL's oldest franchises. Detroit has captured four NFL championships -- but all prior to the Super Bowl era, winning the NFL Championship in 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957. Detroit is still in search of its first-ever Super Bowl title, but with one of the league's most explosive offenses, many believe the Lions are on the cusp of glory.
While the Lions haven't won the Super Bowl, some of the best players in NFL history have put on a Detroit Lions uniform. Barry Sanders is universally hailed as one of the best running backs of all-time, and the Hall of Fame running back spent his entire career with the Lions. Sanders rushed for over 15,000 yards before he abruptly retired following the 1998 season.
Detroit went through a long period of futility. The Lions failed to make the playoffs each season between 2000 and 2010, before finally going 10-6 and qualifying for the playoffs in 2011. Led by Matthew Stafford, the Lions boast one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. Even though the Lions lost Calvin Johnson, a.k.a. Megatron, to retirement -- Detroit is ready to make a deep run in the playoffs in 2018.
With an explosive offense, and a new culture in Detroit -- the 2018-2019 season could be the Lions' year! | 2019-04-22T04:30:04 | https://www.ticketliquidator.com/performers/detroit-lions-tickets |

The objective of wrestling is to pin your opponent, but it usually involves a takedown to accomplish this goal. It has been proven statistically that the wrestler who executes the first takedown in a match will win the match 85 to 90% of the time.
What is considered a takedown? The wrestlers must be working from the neutral or standing position. You score two points for taking your opponent down to the mat and controlling him/her. The double leg, single leg, snap down, fireman’s carry, and duck under are just a few types of takedowns.
Develops a strong work ethic. Executing 100 takedowns and being taken down 100 times in 1 hour is hard work!
Builds self-confidence through repetition. Self-confidence is not hereditary, but rather it is a skill. When you have performed a task 1,000 times there is no reason why you should not be confident in your ability to succeed.
Helps them inch closer toward mastery of a basic skill. The best competitors keep it simple and are pros at basic skills.
Most importantly, the kids have fun! They are all smiles once they reach their goal. And they are eager to keep us updated on their progress. It is really fun to watch as coaches!
We’ll start takedown night with our usual warm-up and then let the wrestlers start doing their takedowns. We’ll provide water breaks as necessary. Once everyone is done, we’ll play games for the remainder of practice. After practice, there will be juice served. | 2019-04-20T04:53:04 | https://zmwrestling.com/youth/100-takedown-night/ |

Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler established their firm in Zurich in 2004, and have successfully realized a number of varied projects, including exhibitions (such as “focusTerra”, Zurich 2009; scenography for the Messel PiT Visitor Center, 2010) and buildings (Cattaneo residential and commercial building, Zurich 2008; Arche Nebra Visitor Center, Wangen 2007, among others).
While working on design, exhibition and architecture, Holzer Kobler Architekturen does not pursue any singular architectural attitude or design approach. Instead, the focus is on finding a unique solution for each project and location, taking into account and reinterpreting its past, present, and future. In terms of construction and program, Holzer Kobler Architekturen focuses on staging space, spatial sequence and manifold atmospheres.
This approach is based on the fact that each individual has his own view of space as a component of a unique perspective. Just as in film, theater and literature, this variation in perspective has become the primary element in architecture.
Holzer Kobler Architekturen’s work method has led to a variety of projects. Their transdiciplinary team of architects, designers, scientists, graphic artists, scenographers and interior designers profits from the interdisciplinary mingling of genres, supporting the further transfer of knowledge and resulting in a parallel progression of fields that are usually isolated from one another.
In this sense, Holzer Kobler use the term “Architekturen” (“architectures”), as they see the term as an extension of their field of thought, activity and research towards a multiplicitous understanding of architecture. Their exhibition concept “Mise en scène <ex 545>” results from this point of view: A three-dimensional installation overlaps spatial and atmospheric qualities from the studio in Zurich and transplants them into the gallery, creating an entirely new spatial structure. A collage of visual and acoustic design elements (sound by SOAP) allows for a rapprochement of design components and imparts individualistic perception through an autonomous setting. | 2019-04-21T16:33:35 | https://en.architekturgalerieberlin.de/exhibitions/holzer-kobler-architekturen-mise-en-scene/ |

June 4, 2016 – This trip was a very easy 2 hour drive from West Jordan, Utah to Kemmerer, Wyoming then a 30 minute drive on a relatively slow, but absolutely beautiful 5 mile long dirt road to Fossil Safari. Once again, I drove my minivan and had no problems other than how dusty every square inch of the inside and out it was. There was rock dust in places I never thought possible. Anyhoo, just like our other rock trips, I had quite a few questions and took quite a few pictures. Here are a few of them.
Fossil Safari is a 30 minute drive from Kemmerer, Wyoming, with 5 miles being on a slow going dirt road. We arrived the afternoon before heading out to the quarry and stayed at the Best Western Fossil Country Inn in Diamondville, Wyoming. We stayed in one of their suites for $119 including taxes and fees. This hotel is very clean, the people are friendly, the continental breakfast was great and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. There are lots of little hotels all over Kemmerer, but this one was by far the nicest and very close to a gas station with a Subway and a liquor store as well as a Pizza Hut.
This trip would be great for most kids ages 7 and over. We brought an 11 year old and two 4.5 year old girls. The 11 year old did great, but seemed to get a little frustrated when she wasn’t finding fossils as quickly and easily as we did with the trilobites. It is a decent amount of work to hit the chisel with a hammer and crack the stone open layer by layer, but just like the trilobite trip, it gets more an more and more addicting the longer you’re there. For the younger girls, they enjoyed just whacking rocks with their tiny hammers for about an hour, but after that they required iPads, snacks and someone to watch them so they didn’t kill themselves by climbing the rock walls. If you can’t watch your adventurous younger child 100% of the time, then I would recommend leaving them at home until they are little older for their own safety. This is an amazing thing to do with your children when they are old enough to learn about the great history of fish fossils and be able to swing a hammer without smashing their fingers. At our house there is a big age gap between children and we didn’t want our older child to miss out, so we chose to bring our 4.5 year old and her friend.

The Brown family from Melbourne had the time of their lives in Club Med Phuket, Thailand with days packed with activities, discoveries and even a sports tournament for all 18 family members! While the kids loved competitive sports, the adults enjoyed spending well-deserved carefree time together. The family also has a love for dancing and made the most of the lively evenings on the dancefloor.
1. Why did you choose to go to Club Med Phuket?
We have been to other Club Meds previously and loved the resort locations, facilities and activities and felt that the weather in February was perfect for Phuket.
My husband and 3 children, my husband’s 3 siblings and their families, and my mother- in- law.
I started with the early group walk, met my family for breakfast then joined the Zumba and Pool Aerobics, often joined by other members of my family. After lunch I would relax by the pool. My husband and children loved the competitive sports and competitions. After dinner, we enjoyed the evening entertainment and of course the crazy signs and dancing each night. We also had our own table tennis tournament with all 18 family members. For a large family group of 3 generations, there was something for everyone and so many ways for us all to enjoy being together.
5. What do you love most about Phuket as a destination?
The weather is consistently warm, the beaches stunning and the people so friendly.
The GO’s were amazing and really enhanced our experience. The central focal point of the pool, fun activity area and restaurant meant there was always a place to go to meet others and have fun. The quality and variety of cuisines was a delight. The beautiful beach and the town are at your doorstep if you choose to explore It is perfectly located.
7. What is your top tip for a successful family trip in Club Med Phuket?
8. What were your favourite activities for a perfect family holiday in Club Med Phuket?
9. What could you pack in your suitcase for a family holiday in Club Med Phuket?
10. Which Club Med are you going to next or would you like to try next?
Finding a future date and coordinating all the family is a big challenge but maybe Mauritius would be exciting.

From Perth, all 17 members of the Lim family stayed in Club Med Cherating Beach, Malaysia for some well-deserved time away together. They enjoyed the exotic jungle surroundings, indulged in all-inclusive food and drinks - perfect for a group full of super energetic and hungry teens and extra-easy for everyone to enjoy their holiday! Discover their full interview and photographs below.
1. Why did you choose to go to Club Med Cherating Beach?
My family had been fortunate enough to have stayed at Club Med Bintan 5 years ago or so and we had always said we would love to go to another Club Med. We were also keen on going on a holiday with our good friends and my sister in laws family before all our kids grew up.
So in planning for this holiday we needed to stay at a place that was hassle free, full of activities for everyone and was also good value for money which is why Club Med was an obvious choice. We decided on Cherating Beach specifically as it was relatively close to Perth.
I have a family of six (kids aged 7,9,11,13) and we travelled with my nephew (aged 15), our good friends ( kids aged 14,16) and also my sister in laws family (kids aged 9,11,13,15).
Although the Kids Club was available, our children just loved spending time with their friends and cousins and even us adults! Our typical day in the resort started out with a fantastic breakfast over which we would plan out what everyone wanted to do for the day.
With activities being held at various times for different ages and at different locations, and also having to cater for our group of 17 people, we had to sort out the logistics of who was going where to do what and when !
After busy mornings, lunch and afternoons - we would then return back to our rooms, freshen up and meet back at the bar and Orchid lounge for pre-dinner drinks before having dinner.
After dinner, some of us would stay back to enjoy some more cocktails and watch the evening shows which were always entertaining.
4. What do you love most about Cherating as a destination?
Cherating is actually set amongst a really beautiful natural lush environment which is lovely. I would also say the staff (from the reception staff to the Chief of Village) really made our stay a very memorable and enjoyable one.
5. What were your highlights from the trip?
There actually were plenty of highlights from the trip rather than just one single thing or event. Just seeing the families really enjoy their time together, relaxing and having fun was more than enough of a highlight. The activities were made even more enjoyable because of the staff who were in charge of them. In fact, it was the staff and their pride in their job to make guests feel welcome that really made the trip a fantastic one.
Gitish who leads the circus team (Ray, Pascale, Candy and Ally). They were all so encouraging and friendly and our kids (and some of us adults) just loved going to the trapeze every day.
Gerard really hit it off with some of the kids at the Archery range and also thanks to Chico, Adam and Kuga who made our time at rock climbing and the tree top course lots of fun.
A personal impromptu dance class kindly organised for us by Mike, the Chief of the Village, was another highlight from the trip.
Guilherme the CM choreographer can truly move and his passion to teach has also inspired our kids to keep dancing.
Participating in all the activities helped us meet lots of amazing people, create precious lifelong memories and we even made some new friends along the way! (A big hello to Andrew, Janelle, Kaitland and Molly Smith from South Australia!).
The food at Club Med Cherating was fantastic and another stand out highlight from the trip. There was always such a huge variety to satisfy everyone in our travel group and the attention to detail and quality of food was second to none.
We managed to participate in all the activities during our 7 nights at CM Cherating and they were all enjoyable so it is really hard to pick out just one thing. If I had to choose, I probably enjoyed the Trapeze and Tennis (coached by Annie from Brisbane) and also of course the food the most. I think it really depends on your own interests though with regards to how one can best enjoy the resort. Some of our friends really loved going to the adults only zen pool to relax or having a massage ( not included in the package). Some of our kids really enjoyed the archery and trapeze whilst others enjoyed sailing and playing volleyball. The great thing about the resort was there was so much to do and everyone had ample opportunities to do whatever they preferred.
7. What is your top tip for a successful family trip in Club Med Cherating?
I would suggest staying for long enough (7 nights) to be able to try everything at least once or twice. Get involved in the activities on offer and interact with the fantastic GO's who are there, see what is on every day and then plan your day and night according to what you want to try and which part of the resort you want to spend time in.
8. What are your favourite activities for a perfect family holiday in Club Med Cherating?
I would have to say the eating and drinking are definite favourite activities for a perfect holiday in CM Cherating, followed closely by the Trapeze, hanging out at the sports activity area or going to other side of the resort to enjoy the beach and water activities available there.
9. Which Club Med are you going to next?
We are actually heading back to Club Med Bintan next year to celebrate my mother in law's 75th birthday with all her children and grandchildren. So for this trip, we will have 8 adults and 10 children in total and I am very keen to see how Club Med Bintan compares to our wonderful CM Cherating experience.
Hopefully in the future I can also look at visiting one of the Club Meds in Japan for a snow holiday with my family but that is just a big dream in the pipeline at this stage!

Interested on hearing more about Body & Soul? Head over to our page explaining the concept and stay tuned for the 2019 edition!
Hi Jen, can you please introduce yourself?
I’m a mum of two, Personal Trainer, founder of mum-focused fitness business Body Beyond Baby and creator of Fitness Professional education Safe Return to Exercise. I am a self-confessed adventurer, love taking part in challenging fitness events and exploring the world. Within my mission to ensure women are exercising safely and effectively after becoming a mother I hope this gives them the strength within to go out there on their own adventures, connect with their family and partners and accomplish all the things they dream of.
Congrats on participating in the Body & Soul 2018 event, how did you find the experience?
Thank you! I had a ball and it’s such a beautiful place to be ‘working’ in. I found all of the Club Med staff and guests to be very welcoming and enthusiastic about Body & Soul. I also gave the classes of some of the other international trainers a go and loved them!
Interestingly, I actually met a lot of Australians along with those from other parts of the world. Energy within our classes was great and I loved spending time with the guests. I especially loved being able to spend some one on one time with a few of the mums that came to my classes and we could talk about their own unique postnatal experiences and follow ups they might do once they got home.
Describe your typical day in Club Med Bintan Island during Body & Soul?
My typical day involved getting up anywhere between 6.30 am and 7.30 am depending on what I had planned; a run or my own training session followed by sampling one of the other trainers classes; yoga or beast move for example. Then heading to breaky to enjoy the amazing Club Med buffet! I would then work for a few hours on my computer (it wasn’t all a holiday for me) though I did take the weekend off and on these two days I relaxed and read by the pool instead of keeping up to date with my computer work. I would eat lunch around 1.30 and at 2 pm it was time to get ready for my mums-only class at 3 pm. An hour’s downtime in-between sessions and then set up for my Bootcamp / Circuit class at 5.15 pm. After this a quick swim, then shower and time for dinner! Some evenings we would then catch the show and others jump in to bed for an early (kid-free) sleep!
What were your highlights of Body & Soul?
Definitely the amazing people I got to meet and the beautiful location!
I LOVE spending time by the pool (but with the sun lounger facing the ocean rather than the pool ;) and also on the beach. I also found a couple of quiet hide spots where I could both sit and work but also take in the beautiful surroundings.
What is your top tip to enjoy an active yet relaxing holiday – whether with the family or not?
My top tip would be to make sure you also relax and enjoy yourself and ALLOW yourself some down time as well as activity time. I think we sometimes forget to allow ourselves to just STOP, have fun, read a book or simply do nothing. I’m a big advocate for continuing activity or training on holidays but I like to make sure there’s relaxing too.
My bag was FULL of training clothes - both for training myself AND for running sessions. I also had a great book with me for down-time. My computer and notes to stay up to date at work. Ear-plugs and my own pillow - if I can’t sleep I’m grumpy and frustrated so these two things have become a vital part of my travel pack!
I felt satisfied; excited from the awesome time we had and also a little tired. I was also pretty excited to be heading home to my family too by the end!
This is a tough one - if it was just my choice I’d be off to the Maldives or Mauritius but I also know my husband is super keen to head to Japan for the snow!
Interested in knowing more about Club Med Bintan Island? Hear over to the resort page for more information!

Increasing acknowledgement that agriculture should be among the key sectors driving the economy and job creation in South Africa has leaned mainly on potential expansion in hectares of labour-intensive and globally sought-after horticultural products as well as traditional grains and oilseeds.
In addition to the aforementioned crops, the changing perceptions about cannabis around the globe – and its growing value – raise a question of whether South Africa should put a concerted effort into research on this crop so that policymakers can better assess if its production benefits could be balanced by measures to mitigate unintended consequences.
A recent Constitutional Court ruling decriminalised the private use of cannabis in South Africa, but the conditions and boundaries still need to be considered and legislated. Furthermore, the decriminalisation for private use might not be where the commercial value lies. The focus should rather be on exploring the possible benefits for the country through the controlled international trade in cannabis and its products, and also medicinal-use purposes in the domestic market.
Potential export markets include the US, Canada and China, as some regions within these countries have decriminalised cannabis. In the state of California in the US, the value of the cannabis industry was estimated at $3 billion in 2017. Colorado and Florida were valued at more than $1 billion each.
In the same year, Canada spent over $5 billion on cannabis for medical and non-medical purposes.
In China – which grows nearly half the world’s legal hemp – sales of textile fibre made from the plant’s stalk totalled $1.2 billion in 2017.
South Africa already trades agricultural commodities with these countries. Their increasing desire for cannabis and its product is thus interesting. It would offer extra value if South Africa was to follow the route of producing the crop for international trade and medicinal use within a clearly regulated environment.
I am not arguing for any particular policy position regarding cannabis, but rather for increased research that would assist policymakers in evaluating the benefits, and possible unintended consequences, of growing and trading cannabis. The research should take stock of the changing perceptions surrounding this crop globally, as week as its growing demand and commercial value.
In the coming years, depending on whether South Africa’s policy position on cannabis follows global developments, the ideal provinces would be Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo due to favourable climatic conditions.
Wandile Sihlobo is an agricultural economist and head of research at Agbiz.
We should, but let’s just remember that while marijuana is legal in for example Canada, California, Colarado – they do not permit imports at all.
On the positive side, we already have ten million skilled growers, so getting going will be easy.
Seems logical although is that the only thing that can be grown in those areas? If not then the gov should prioritise getting that land into productive use regardless of the product really. If we are going to fully legalise it then formalizing the production then makes a lot of sense and should be supported, we need all the wins we can get right now.
Anyone know the going rate per hectare for land around the Port St Johns area? Asking for a friend.
The knowledge of both the medical and non medical properties have been known for 100s of years, just like the electric and hydro powered vehicle.
It’s simple the control of big business and government that have kept it out of the public reach so that the big businesses benefit and keep control of their industries.
You can also include crypto currencies and other drugs which will at some point in time become both legal and safe to use.
South Africa has a problem and that is “entitlement”, some how we all believe or have been made to believe that the world owes us for our own historical misfortunes and poor rule.
In order to make this work we would need much more than sheer policy.
Of course we should… The gains we could make in our textile, energy, medical and other sectors would be massive. Even if we can’t export the fact that we would be importing less would be huge. Investment would come as well.
Lol, and to whom will we export our pristine product? | 2019-04-24T10:50:31 | https://www.moneyweb.co.za/news/industry/should-south-africa-explore-the-cannabis-market/ |

I don’t actually know the book you are referring to, but it sounds like the kind of book that was really popular around that time. I can see some value in the business pivot idea, as you haven’t wasted as much time and money developing something that maybe people don’t want, or will require major rectifications and changes.
“Business pivot” seems like a really odd kind of expression, though. It doesn’t really sound like it has relevance to the subject matter Eric Reis is talking about.
Thanks for your visit and for sharing your thoughts on the post. I do appreciate it.
I used the term “business pivot” to differentiate it from the physical pivot step, and perhaps it isn’t a common expression.
As for the mind-pivoting thing, while I do value openness to other people’s suggestions and am most appreciative of those who give me feedback, I am perhaps a bit leery of anything that might lead to having such an open mind that your brains fall out. But, that’s just me….
Thanks for your article, Netta!
I kind of think I know this concept, but not with this name. Years ago I used to make web sites, and there I could see two different approaches. Some people they really tweaked and tuned the web site until it was perfect to the very last pixel and tested and everything 110% ready. And then there were others, like me, who wanted to get reasonable site done pretty quickly, and then improve upon it over time. I guess the overall time spent would still be the same, though.
Thanks for your visit and your clarification of the concept. Maybe I’m applying the thing too broadly.
As luck would have it, I’ve just stumbled across a new book, PIVOT: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, by Jenny Blake who is the co-creator of Google’s “Career Guru” program. It’s aimed for people who are looking for making a career change. I’ll see what she has to say on all of this. | 2019-04-20T06:13:11 | https://lifebuiltpoems.com/the-trouble-with-pivots/ |
It is usually a good practice to remove these things.
Note The name "apps for Share Point" is changing to "Share Point Add-ins".
During the transition, the documentation and the UI of some Share Point products and Visual Studio tools might still use the term "apps for Share Point".
The infrastructure will rerun the event, , up to three additional times.
After four timeouts, Share Point will roll back the entire add-in installation.
Since your service will be sending a cancel message to Share Point, the add-in will not be removed from the recycle bin.
If it is restored from there and used again, it may fail to work without that database entry.
実行します。アドインは、ハンドラーが完了するまで使用できませんし、ハンドラーはインストールをキャンセルできるからです (キャンセルすると、Share Point によってインストールの一部として実行された操作内容すべてがロールバックされます)。実際に、これはハンドラーにおけるエラーをキャッチして Share Point にインストール内容をロールバックするようにさせるベスト プラクティスです。詳細については、「アドイン イベント ハンドラーにロールバック ロジックと『既に実行』ロジックを含める」をご覧ください。The App Installed event runs immediately after Share Point has finished everything that it needs to do when the add-in is installed, but before the user is notified that installation is complete. The add-in is not available for use until after your handler has completed and your handler can cancel the installation (which will cause Share Point to roll back everything it has done as part of the installation).
In fact, it is a best practice to catch any errors in your handler and instruct Share Point to roll back the installation.
There are two ways to register a handler: When a registered event occurs, Share Point calls the appropriate method in your service and passes an object that provides some context information for your code. | 2019-04-19T01:23:00 | http://wiyow.freeimagehost.ru/sharepoint-itemupdating-afterproperties-2474.html |

Morale patches have been an important element in military culture for generations. Some patriotic, some humorous, there are many sizes and styles to choose from. But we have yet to see a morale patch that is truly functional, so we decided to change that.
Embrite is the TEC Accessories proprietary glow technology, affording the brightest, longest lasting 'glow-in-the-dark'(GID) effect available today. And now you can get Embrite performance in a morale patch! And like a beacon shining in the night that offers a bright guiding light, the BEACON morale patch will be just as effective.
This Embrite morale patch features a 2" x 3" surface area, and is 3/16" thick. The "hook" side of a standard Hook and Loop fastener is applied to the back for attachment to any flat surface containing the "Loop" side of the fastener. This makes the perfect glow marker or "find in the dark" feature to anything it is attached to. Stick one on your tactical bag, cap, or anything containing the "Loop" fastener material. We also include the mating "Loop" material which has a strong industrial adhesive backing, so you can attach this patch to virtually any surface you install the material onto.
When exposed to sunlight or UV light, the proprietary Embrite slab will glow for hours... the longer the exposure time and the higher the light intensity, the longer and brighter it will glow. Glow times can last as long as 12 hours! This cutting edge technology will outlast and outshine anything on the market. | 2019-04-23T19:57:10 | https://www.edcgear.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EMP001A |

We're going back twenty-five years once more to the Middlewich of 1987 with these pictures from the Carole Hughes Collection taken by her friend Diane Parr.
The second photo in this diary entry focuses on the interior of one of the town's most fondly-remembered shops but, before we take a look at it, it's well worth looking at the picture above in its own right as it shows the way things were in those days when it came to shopping in Middlewich town centre.
To the left of the picture, next to the church and bathed in sunshine, you can just make out Brockley's paint, wallpaper, and decorating supplies shop with its side window facing the lower part of Hightown.
Brockley's moved from this location to a shop near the top end of Wheelock Street not long after this picture was taken.
Next to Brockley's is the shop we've immortalised as 'The Butchered Butchers Shop'.
Daniel Preston managed to get pictures of this unfortunate shop just after it closed at the end of 1988 and fell into the hands of people with scant regard for its history and architectural merits.
Then comes the NatWest Bank (which, in those days, kept regular banking hours like any other bank) and the Co-op, by this time no longer billing itself as 'The Co-operative Superstore', but still boasting its rather impressive canopy, albeit with a small blue Co-op logo replacing the original sign.
Looking at this nondescript building today, with its modest Tesco Express and Pineland shops it's hard to imagine that it could ever be described as a 'superstore', but appearances are deceptive.
Much of the building is taken up now by a large storage area at the rear of the premises belonging to Pineland. This is the area which was once the Co-op's furniture department, reached by a rather impressive staircase from the ground floor.
The removal of the canopy from the front of the building has served to emphasise its loss of stature.
Next comes another long lost Middlewich institution, Skellon's shoe shop, where we were all taken as children to be fussed over by assistants with tape measures, rulers and 'Clark's Children's Foot Gauges' to ensure that we were always given shoes which fitted properly, thus avoiding our being maimed for life by shoes which were too big or too small.
Next comes that wonderful shop which everyone remembers with a great deal of affection - G Samuel & Son, which we'll be examining the interior of shortly and, finally, Reg Taylor's Newsagents, once the employers of the redoubtable Daniel Preston and Cliff Astles, both pioneers of the art of paper shredding.
Well, whoever would have thought we'd ever see this scene again, even if it is only in photographic form?
It's the interior of the legendary Samuel's shop - technically, at least, an ironmongers but in reality stocking a bewildering array of household goods of all kinds: plastic buckets, seeds, disinfectant, paint, dusters, walking sticks, coat-hangers, garden tools, ribbon, washing baskets, clothes dyes....and that's just a random selection of what can be seen in this photograph.
The two Samuels - Senior and Junior - were seldom stumped, whatever you asked them for and if they should happen to be 'temporarily out of stock' on some item or other, you could be sure they'd get it for you in very short order.
It was a delight to shop there; the Samuels had that old-fashioned courteous way of dealing with the public which we all miss so much these days and the words 'thank you!' and 'ta!' were bandied about freely.
In fact, in the end, Peter Samuel adopted his own portmanteau word and would say 'thankyou-ta!' at the slightest provocation.
You get something of the same feeling today when shopping at Middlewich DIY.
We're grateful to Diane Parr for having the foresight to take this photo and to Carole for allowing us to bring it to you.
Lynne Towers I love this photo. Fantastic Samuels!
Karen Reynolds It sold everything you needed!
Maureen Condra I called in there a few times when I was over for a visit.
Christine May The shop always had a nice smell.
Carole Hughes It did, Christine. It was a great shop.
Dave Roberts Does anyone know the older Mr Samuels first name? I know the son was called Peter. They were both a delight to do business with, full of charm and old-fashioned courtesy. And yes, the shop sold everything you could think of, and if it wasn't in stock they'd get it for you.
Maureen Condra I bought a lot of things there. I still have a tea-towel and some cups I bought there.
Christine May I'm so glad I didn't do the stock-take!
Wendy Sproston My Mum used to go in there for everything.
Paul Hough What a fantastic shop. I've still got a kitchen knife I bought there. Twenty-odd years old and still going strong!
Dave Roberts Absolutely wonderful! Who would have thought we'd ever see it again, even if it is only a photograph?
Since this entry was written, the NatWest Bank has closed its doors for good and the premises are, by all accounts, going to become a carpet shop.* Pineland, too, has closed down and the Choklat Bar, which was based in Reg Taylor's shop, closed down after a partial collapse of its floor on New Years Eve 2013. The likelihood is that it will be absorbed into the neighbouring Chimichangos Mexican restaurant.
Update (2017): In fact what used to be the Choklat Bar is now Maggie Finn's Tea shop.
* In the Spring of 2017 Manchester Carpets opened the shop for the sale of beds and mattresses.
In October 2017 'Maggie Finn's Tea Shop' relocated to Maggie Finn's Tea Garden in Canal Terrace and Reg Taylor's former shop underwent yet another transformation, this time into the offices of a web design company.
Although I moved from Middlewich in the sixties Carole's photo is exactly as I remember it. I always think of Samuels when I see the Two Ronnies "4 candles sketch". Anyone remember being told to go to Samuels for a "pound of Skyhooks"
Funnily enough, Margaret, that sketch always reminds me of Samuels too. | 2019-04-20T05:00:57 | https://middlewichdiary.com/2012/04/middlewich-1987-3-samuels-shop.html |

It’s summertime! The kids are out of school. The weather is at its warmest. And the outdoors is beckoning. But summertime is an important time to stay diligent about skin care and skin protection so we’re sharing some tips that will surely keep your skin healthy and dewy, even as the mercury rises.
You may think you only need to wear sunscreen when taking a trip to the beach or a dip in the pool, but even those walks to lunch or running errands can put you at risk of too much sun exposure. So be sure to make sunscreen application a part of your everyday morning routine, and it will surely become a habit come fall.
The intense summer sun, in combination with the heat, humidity and indoor A/C, will wreak havoc on your skin. If you’re not using moisturizer, now is a good time to start. Use a moisturizer with SPF during the day but opt for a richer lotion after beach days and before bed to keep your skin hydrated and soft.
Your body tends to lose a lot of moisture in the summer. So it’s important to drink lots of water and eat foods like cucumber, watermelon and pineapple, which all have high water content, to replenish the skin and keep it looking radiant.
Your lips and eyelids are the most delicate parts of your face, and most susceptible to wrinkling, if neglected. Protect those sensitive areas with creams and balms. If your usual products are feeling a little too heavy in the summer heat, replace them with lighter formulas.
We can’t talk about summer skin care without discussing bug bites. The combination of summer heat and moisture is a breeding mecca for bugs, and creates a flourishing population of mosquitoes, ants, ticks and bees. Commonly used insect repellents have the potential to cause damage to the nervous system, so I always recommend non-toxic alternatives. For example, 100-200 mg of thiamine, or Vitamin B1, taken orally for 1 to 2 weeks has been known to repel mosquitoes. And zinc, which can alter a person’s body odor, seems to make people less likely to be bitten. But if you feel you need a repellent spray, try California Baby, an all-natural product that is safe and effective.
Of course, the holy grail of healthy, glowing skin during the summer and throughout the year is a healthy diet, a lot of sleep and moderate exercise. So in addition to the tips above, don’t forget to eat a balanced diet, get some exercise, get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. Enjoy your summer! | 2019-04-21T22:24:18 | http://vhpharmacyrx.com/compounding/six-tips-keeping-skin-healthy-summer/ |
Anti-TNF levels will be checked at birth in mother, cord and infant. If levels detectable, will check infant at 3 months; if detectable at 6 months.
If you have a patient enrolled who is on anti-TNF therapy will be eligible for this. We would really LOVE to capture these patients.
Response to vaccines will also be measured in all infants greater than 7 months of age. This is part of standard of care to see if they responded to their vaccines given immunosuppression use.

Do you think your cardio workouts have to be long to be effective? What if you could burn more calories in a shorter amount of time?
Increased your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn calories for hours after you were finished.
Improved your oxygen consumption (VO2 max).
Decreased both your heart rate and blood pressure.
Helped you lose that stubborn fat, even belly fat.
Perhaps it sounds too good to be true, but research shows that high intensity interval training can provide all of these benefits, and more.
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of cardio that alternates periods of intense exercise with low-intensity recovery periods. Typically the sessions last from 10-30 minutes in duration.
So, how does this look? I always start my clients out on a stationary bike. For the first 45 seconds of every minute I have them pedal at a normal pace. Once the timer hits 45 seconds, they are instructed to sprint.This is the high intensity part. Your heart rate should be between 80-95% of your maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate = 220-your age). If you don’t have a way to monitor your heart rate then just make sure you can’t talk during those last 15 seconds.
Start with a total of 10 minutes and work your way up to 20-30 minutes one to two times a week. While I always start my clients out on the stationary bike, any form of cardio will work. For more info, see https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-of-hiit.

Have you made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, exercise more, or eat better only to feel defeated a month or two later?
Almost nothing can make us more despondent than stepping onto the scale one morning to find that we have gained three pounds overnight. What’s really happening?
You’re under pressure at work or home and the stress is beginning to show. Perhaps you have noticed some weight gain, specifically that bulge around your middle that wasn’t there before. Chronic stress may be one of the culprits. | 2019-04-25T13:55:14 | https://mylcfitness.com/discover-the-health-benefits-of-high-intensity-interval-training/ |

Poetry collections are unlike any other type of book, because they appeal to the reader on an entirely different emotional and intellectual level. Poetry can almost be described as an “art form” of the written word—so readers will expect poetry book covers to reflect that unique spirit. There are so many directions you can take based on the theme of your poetry collection. Yet, just like the images used for any other genre, the design of your self-published poetry book’s cover must grab your audience’s attention and entice them to buy.
For National Poetry Month, Self-Publishing Relief shares design tips that you can implement when creating the cover for your self-published poetry chapbook.
In this example, we have the outline of a falling woman against a black background with the title in lowercase type. The woman’s ghostly outline conveys drama and suspense. This could be just the thing to catch a potential reader’s eye in a bookstore, a social media stream, or an online bookstore.
Poetry often invites readers to experience the written word—and the world—in a new, surprising way. This beautifully drawn image of an elephant delicately balanced on teacups echoes the balance that can be achieved through the mindfulness, joy, and philosophical elements of the poetry featured in this book. Use artwork that reflects the tone or theme of your collection.
Unlike genres where the cover is expected to look a certain way and use specific fonts, poetry book covers have more freedom to express creativity. You can experiment with distinctive, attention-grabbing typefaces to determine which is most likely to embody your poetry collection and attract your audience.
The artwork for your poetry chapbook cover doesn’t have to be deep and serious—especially if your writing has a touch of humor or whimsy! Shel Silverstein’s quirky drawings let readers know immediately that they’re in for an uncommon poetry experience, and have become as memorable as his poetry.

The natural forms of Rio’s morros and beaches generate an elastic, malleable quality within the city’s urban fabric, while the dynamism of Copacabana – with its energy and rhythm – is one of the city’s most important public spaces.
Casa Atlântica’s design continues the liberating composition and spatial flow inherent within Brazil’s rich Modernist tradition, engaging with the unique tempo and vitality of Copacabana’s urban beach culture, as well as the fluidity of its renowned Burle Marx promenade.
Working within site restrictions governing the height and distance from adjacent buildings, Casa Atlântica’s design establishes a fluid order defined by its structure which morphs and expands at each level to define generous balconies, and dividing each floor into separate residential units.
Facing southeast to Copacabana Beach, the design branches towards its neighbouring buildings to establish a continuity with the existing the urban fabric of Avenida Atlântica.

that was great! you portrayed them a lot like i like to think of them when they are at home. i think of them as really nice with eachother but end up murdering everyone else in society.
thanks for making this! glad you liked them enough to do a spinoff!
thanks much for citing alien hominid as an inspiration, that was a really nice treat to see after defeating hitler with my CROTCH.
Yeah if you don't duck- Then shoot the guys just as your crotch comes out of the elevator, you can shoot their knees off before they get a chance to fire. It's a shame, one of the beta testers asked; why do they duck if they can't see you? I guess I forgot to edit it.
whew. really steep learning curve. too steep for me, made me feel like a dumbass. on my 5th or 6th attempt to get past training 4 i had enough of the abuse!

WASHINGTON – It’s no surprise that constant stress can make people sick, and now a team of researches has figured out how.
The study also found the increase in IL-6 can linger in care givers for a s long as three years after a caregiver had ceased that role because of the spouse’s death. Of the test group, 78 spouses died during the survey.
“This really makes a link to why chronic stress can actually kill people,” said Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, professor of psychiatry at Ohio State University. | 2019-04-22T18:57:21 | https://lifepotential.ca/study-shows-how-stress-makes-people-sick/ |
Our beautiful copper shirodhara pot is hand spun in India and finished with an american made valve by our Shirodhara craftsman right here in Wisconsin. It is the most traditional vessel for use in a shirodhara treatment. This pot is perfect for the serious shirodhara practitioner, but also works well as a learning device.
Note: This vessel can also be made without the valve and/or chain. If you do not want a either a valve or chain (or both), please let us know in the comments section during check out.
I actually have not put it to use yet, but arrived exactly as advertised. Looks beautiful!

If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen you and your family will be able to apply to the EU settlement scheme to continue living in the UK after the 30th June 2021.
You are an EU, EEA (including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or a Swiss citizen.
Your family member is an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen but you are not.
You were born in the UK but are not a British citizen.
Are a family member of an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen who does not need to apply – including if they are from Ireland.
If you are married to a British citizen and you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen.
If you have a UK permanent residence document, the process is slightly different – Your document is not a permanent residence document if it has ‘registration certificate’ written on it. If you are from the EU, EEAor Switzerland your permanent residence document will say ‘Document Certifying Permanent Residence’. To continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021 you must either apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (you will not have to prove you have 5 years’ continuous residence) or apply for citizenship before the 30th June 2021.
If your application is successful, you will be granted a settled or pre-settled status.
You can stay in the UK as long as you like if you get settled status. You will also be able to apply for British citizenship if you are eligible.
If you do not have 5 years’ continuous residence when you apply, you will usually get pre-settled status. You must have started living in the UK by 31 December 2020.
You can then apply to change this to settled status once you have 5 years’ continuous residence.
If you will reach 5 years’ continuous residence at some point before 30 December 2020, you can choose to wait to apply until you reach 5 years’ continuous residence. This means that if your application is successful, you will get settled status without having to apply for pre-settled status first.
If you have settled status, you should be able to spend up to 5 years in a row outside the UK without losing your status. This is still subject to approval by Parliament.
If you have pre-settled status, you can spend up to 2 years in a row outside the UK without losing your status. You will need to maintain your continuous residence if you want to qualify for settled status. | 2019-04-25T20:17:06 | https://www.epayme.co.uk/eu-settlement-scheme/ |

UNITED NATIONS, July 20 -- It's a late Friday afternoon in late July at the UN, and Korea is the theme. In Conference Room 4, a General Assembly committee is meeting on North Korea's complaint about Japan "abusing the national sovereign rights of Koreans in Japan in wanton violation of the internationally recognized norms and regulations."
Let's say you're a reporter. The sign in front Conference Room 4 doesn't say "closed," as the sign in front of a Department of Political Affairs "Donor Round Table" in Conference Room B did. So you go in and sit down. Japan's deputy permanent representative Shinyo is speaking, about what he calls the entirely legal and routine closing down of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan.
You start taking notes, but a man in a suit comes over and asks to see you identification card. "No press," he says. You head back into to the hall, stopping to listen to a second-tier diplomat you know. "Are you here for North Korea?" you ask.
"No, something else," he says. Terrorism. "There's a problem in every room." That's the UN. You head to the Vienna Cafe for a $2.10 medium latte. As an always friendly staffer, who works for Aramark catering, foams the milk for you, the head of the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services, Inga-Britt Ahlenius, gets up from her table, sees you and nods.
"Cote d'Ivoire," you say. Three hours earlier at Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson's noon press briefing, it was announced that OIOS is investigating a contingent of UN peacekeepers based in the Ivorian city of Bouake for "wide-spread sexual exploitation and abuse." While the Spokesperson doesn't say from which troop contributing country the accused contingent comes, those who are based in Bouake include Moroccan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Ghanaian forces. An insider's tip says the continent is Moroccan, and 800 soldiers strong.
"We finished that report," says Ms. Ahlenius of OIOS. One of her staffers, always with her, whispers. "No that's something different," she adds.
"You all are everywhere," you say, to keep things friendly, referring to seeing this same troika in the lunchroom-like cafeteria and now in the Vienna cafe.
"We have to be," Ms. Ahlenius replies. And then is gone.
Ban Ki-moon, on Cote d'Ivoire, has done months without appointing a replacement special envoy. Ban has just returned from a one day meeting in Lisbon. While he was away, the South Korean mission opened an exhibition in the General Assembly's lobby, of Korean crafts. Ban Ki-moon's wife Yoo Soon-taek, mostly called "Mrs. Ban," spoke at the opening, and was shown all the displays.
Now that Mr. Ban is back, the show will be repeated, but for a smaller crowd. Nearly all Korean, as it turns out. The event was not in the UN's Media Alert, but was listed in an update to Mr. Ban's schedule. You've also been told that a Korean TV crew is bragging they have an interview with Ban, as if he's a Hollywood celebrity.
The UN, as an aside, loves movie stars, and often hands them the podium. On Thursday a press conference on human trafficking was held by Julia Ormond. Among other things she referred to "a member of Hezbollah" who funded operations by "trafficking women in Vienna," using his "cell phone from prison." Video here, from Minute 26:55.
That this sounds like an urban legend is not the point. As one snarky correspondent was heard to say as the briefing began, she has only really heard of Julia Ormond within the United Nations. "What movie was she in, again?"
But back to the Secretary-General, or Ban Ki-Whom as one English paper put it. As you approach the crafts display, you're told, "This is just a photo op, no questions can be asked." You nod: you have a camera. But when Mr. Ban arrives, he bows and shake hands, and then speaks to the Korean media. In Korean. He gets applause, he poses for pictures. Then he heads back to the 38th floor, for a meeting with three representatives of the African Group, including Zimbabwe. The topic presumably will be Ban's consolidation of the Office of the Special Advisor on Africa. "No questions," you were told. But there's nothing but questions.
Given Mr. Ban's omission of Somalia in his July 16 press conference, click here for a Reuters AlertNet piece by this correspondent about the National Reconciliation Congress, the UN's $200,000 contribution from an undefined trust fund, and note the cancellation of the UN's pre-Congress flight to Mogadishu. | 2019-04-22T18:44:38 | http://www.innercitypress.com/bancrafts072007.html |

One of my resolutions this year is to save, save, save but this is so hard when all I do is spend, spend spend. Like seriously, I’ve already bought myself a new designer bag, a holiday, new tops and an outfit from Asos this month and it’s currently the 10th January. To be fair I don’t go buying holidays every month, and the bag was in the sale but I just can’t seem to be strict enough with myself. Do you guys have any tips? I might be a nerd and make an excel spreadsheet of my outgoings to try and track my spending and guilt myself into not making that asos order.
I’ve been wanting to re-do my bedroom for a while, I’ve got a built in wardrobe but it’s so big and bulky it just consumes a third of the room almost. I was thinking of having one of those Ikea systems like these instead but again it’s just more expensive when I’m supposed to be saving. I also want a new flooring for it, a re-paint (but luckily I have a painter decorator boyfriend) so that’s going to be my project for the next month or so. I’ll keep you posted.
I just love how ALL of these points are totally contradicting point 1 ‘to save’ pah. This has been planned for a while though so totally doesn’t count AND it’s not going to break the bank so all good, in my head. Myself and my bestie Rosie are planning a long weekend in Berlin. We couldn’t decide between there or Budapest but I think Berlin might just be winning. Hopefully we’ll book up this week so any tips would be amazing! Things to do, places to wander, shops to visit, restaurants to eat, basically anything!
As you might tell, I’ve been doing a fair amount of holiday browsing this month – I think it’s a bleak ‘get me out of this rainy country’ January thing. I was looking for inspo on the Ice Lolly blog and came across their Holiday Heroes competition, where you could nominate someone who deserves a holiday for the hard work they do for others. They’ve now picked a worthy winner, and it made me realise, I do preeeetty much nothing to help anyone or anything in need apart from the odd donation. I’ve been having a look around at local charities and found a rabbit rescue I hope to be able to volunteer with, putting time to good use and an activity that doesn’t involving shopping/spending money.
I have about ten million notebooks and planners that I should really be putting to good use. This week I’m going to attempt a blog planner and see if I stick to it. As I also work 40 hours aside from this blog it can be tricky to always be on top of content, posts, collaborations and social media, the list goes on! I don’t want to be that girl that cancels on drinks with a friend because ‘sorry got a blog post to write’ but I’m thinking if I try and plan my free evenings and blog evenings in advance it might make life easier.
This felt a bit like a therapy session, unloading the thoughts rattling around in my head but hopefully I didn’t bore you too much and I’ll be back with all things shoes, bags and coats soon. | 2019-04-18T22:33:51 | https://www.tillyjayne.com/2016/01/lifestyle-5-things-on-my-mind.html |

Response to the article: “A Teacher’s View on Tenure”.
1. It was written by a teacher.
2. She is a department chairperson.
3. A teacher working in the Los Angeles USD (LAUSD).
4. It is a “different” discussion concerning teacher tenure.
I greatly appreciate that this article is written by a teacher; and that she does not rely on some of the old tired, and false clichés of “protecting academic freedom”. I won’t speak for all superintendents but in my experience (and in my own principal experience); I did not see principals rushing to get rid of teachers who were effective in the classroom; and thus aiding in the principal’s own “professional survival”! One of the great myths in public education is this idea of this drive on the part of principals of trying to get rid of good (effective) teachers. For sure, I have seen some principals who were ineffective in the role of being good school building instructional leaders; or some even not very good at being good building/staff/people managers. But these few people don’t make the case for the need for teacher tenure in the K-12 world. It would be much more productive, educationally (for the sake of the children), to professionally develop, or (if that fails) remove these ineffective principals. The response to a “bad” principal is not a bad regulation that would allow ineffective teachers to essentially keep a job for life, regardless of the quality of the professional product. Further a lengthy, expensive and distracting process of removal for reasons of incompetence, and in many cases criminality is also not in the best interest of a resource strapped public school system. It is important to note that the writer is a departmental chairperson. This fact goes a long way in understanding her thoughtful take on tenure as a teacher. (For those who may not know) As a departmental chairperson she has no doubt gained the respect of her peers, and administration for her effective classroom practice; why is this important? The discussion of tenure among educational professionals is almost always related to a: “personal situation” (Our stand on the topic is often based on where we stand professionally!). As a principal (and my entire professional life) I actually never thought about tenure; my focus was on the pursuit of professional excellence; “how well were the students doing?” was my primary question. Now, my life perhaps would have taken a very different professional, and monetary turn if I had been more of a “careerist”; but I make no apologies, and have no regrets, as to my singular focus on students. Further, the best (most effective) teachers I have supervised cared less about tenure, and more about their students succeeding academically. And the “best of the best” actually wanted to be challenged to improve their practice. Also important, effective teachers were not “impressed” with colleagues who were “poor performers” or “slackers!” The most effective educators I have encountered over the years; have in a sense, been driven by a set of core ethics; these ethical values would produce a great deal of discomfort on the part of that teacher, if students were failing, and they were just “collecting a check”. At the same time these individuals wanted to work in an environment where the leadership practices and evaluations, were driven by school building leaders with knowledge of teaching and learning standards; and who also evaluated them through a code of professional ethics. No professional should be judged by arbitrary, or unprincipled standards. I actually believe that the two principles of: “Do no harm to children”, and the good professional and ethical treatment of teachers can be balanced; but it would take a little more intellectual and political courage then has been displayed so far in this national conversation on teacher tenure. One of my primary critiques/concerns of the entire “teacher tenure” conversation is its limitations. This is due in large part to that fact that the conversation is being led to a large extent (on both sides) by people who have little, to no experience in the actual practice of school based teaching and leadership! Or, on the other hand by people and organizations who don’t have the educational interest of the children as a primary (not accidental) objective of the entire public education effort. This misguided conversation is also taking place in an atmosphere where the “solutions” to pedagogical problems are “oversimplified”, “sloganized”, and “dumb down”; or in the case of some printed journalistic efforts: insanely and provocatively sensationalized. And it is this: “one act solves all educational problems” approach that is responsible for so much harm, and misdirected behaviors presently at work in the profession. This confusion further contributes to a primary reason that public education continues to fail, and in particular, fail children and communities of color. Unfortunately, these same theoretically deficient “ magic-bullet solutionneers”, just take turns, by ascending and descending into, and out of power; and so we never get at the fundamental problems that cause so many children to not have a positive public educational experience.
Some very well-meaning folks have invested time-effort and money in legal challenges to state teacher tenure laws (thus the LAUSD point). I agree with the fundamental idea that they put forward, that “tenure laws” are inconsistent with creating learning institutions that affirm the child’s right to be safe, and to effectively learn; above the right of an individual adult to be employed in that particular job category. Now this is not such a strange or radical idea that people make it out to be. Every day our “rights” are evaluated in relationship to the greater “community good”; and the rights of others in the community. We have a right to own a car, but not a right to drive without a license, insurance, recklessly or drunk; “free speech” (as we are often forced to explain to students); does not mean any speech, in any place, at any volume, and at any time. “Rights” don’t exist in isolation, they are not absolute, there are “standards”, and a “hierarchy of rights” that must be taken into consideration. Society has even gone as far (and rightfully so) to say that your right to be a parent, is not greater than your child’s right to not be abused, to not be put in physical or psychological danger, or to not be educated. And so I agree with the fundamental premise of the “no tenure” folks. My concern is that too much is being promised with the removal of teacher tenure; promises that in reality can’t be realized by this single act. Even if a school district was able to remove 15% of its lowest performing teachers (assuming we created a sound standard-rubric based system to determine such people); we would still need to effectively and efficiently improve the practice of the remaining 85%. We would need to make sure that the 85% “good practitioners” had the materials and supplies they need to do their work effectively. We would need to come up with a plan to retain these effective teachers; and also come up with a plan to recruit replacements for the 15% that were removed (at the same time that a percentage of the 85% are also retiring each year). And particularly in middle and high schools, we would need to make sure that these 85% effective teachers could work in a safe, “teaching-efficient” and productive school learning environment. This would mean adding all of the much-needed out of classroom student support systems and resources (i.e. counseling, informal education programs, academic support, etc.) to complement all of this “good teaching”. Finally, to fully support the 85% we would need to develop a strong crop of effective school building leaders (SBL). These leaders would need to have a deep knowledge of how to build a strong, positive, safe and productive school culture, knowledge of pedagogical theories, strongly literate in content standards and teaching methodology; and be fluent in theories of personnel development. These SBLs would need to function as the “Chief Instructional Coach”, and primary professional developers in the school building. My hypothesis (based on experience), is that a school can survive a lot of things; but it is almost impossible for a school to survive, and thrive under poor and ineffective leadership. A bad SBL could even undermine the best work, of the best teachers!
Further, the terribly misguided and destructive approach of many of the “anti-tenure” crowd, to utilize standardized assessments to “weed out” bad teachers is just plain bad pedagogy. The role of standardized assessments is to serve as a diagnostic tool to better serve the needs of children; while at the time improve and sharpen teaching methodology. This means that the teacher evaluation process should be focused on discovering and developing talent, not “catching folks”. Therefore the “evaluation process” should be in three parts: standardized assessments, the formal and informal observations of teachers, (guess what) teaching; and the assessment of student work (product). Utilizing standardized assessments, and classroom observations as punitive tools; is to try to fix a political problem (the absence of the will on the part of politicians to declare children a “protected class”) with tools designed for student diagnostic/development purposes, and a teacher professional development tool. In education, when we use good tools for the wrong reasons; bad things happen to children and adults.
The action needed must be different as the writer points out; but I would go a step further and say the plan must be “upsetting” and “disturbing” to the present state of affairs. “Nibbling” on the edges of the problem won’t get it. Things are not going well; and if so many children are not successful; then how can the professionals who serve them call themselves successful; or in our language: Proficient? The “teacher tenure” question, in my view is a professional ethics question (and the way it should be solved). If as professionals we declare that public schools are “High Reliability Organizations” (HROs); or as I also like to call them High Risk Organizations; an idea from the book: Managing the Unexpected, Sutcliffe & Weick. Although very diverse in their missions and structures; HRO’s all seem to have some fundamental organizing principles in common. In short HROs are those organization where a “failure” can lead to serious injury, great societal harm, or death; examples of these type of organizations are: Air craft carriers, Nuclear power plants, hospitals and fire departments. In these types of organizations incompetence could equal death, to either the professionals involved, or the public in general. Therefore, they necessarily recruit based on the criteria of “high competence”; and they also have an extremely low tolerance for incompetence. It is an important first step that these organizations recruit the best, and most skilled for the job description. Sincere outside stake-holders who are unpracticed, untrained and lacking in the technical professional knowledge; don’t make the personnel decisions for HRO’s. Second, there is some type of extensive internship program where after earning certification, the practitioner must further train under the watchful eye of an effective “master” veteran in the field (they never have their practitioners leave “basic training”, and then go directly into solo practice). Third, there is a great deal of constant attention to the upgrading, (and yes evaluation) and professional development of skills and competency. Fourth, since the emphasis is on competency; tenure (or right to a position) can’t be used to compromise the mission, the successful operation, the safety of the organization, the success and safety of the team, or the safety and well-being of the public it seeks to serve. Finally, these HRO’s all seem to have very powerful systems of review, monitoring, and “operational redundancy” (someone is always checking on the “checker”, so that nothing is missed); and have strong “self-evaluative-correcting procedures in place; (i.e. they honestly deal with the: “What went wrong question”. Now some of us believe that public schools fit the definitions of HROs. And if proof is needed, all one need do is to visit any state prison (and imprisoning a lot of people, is actually something we do pretty efficiently as a nation); and there you will encounter the casualties (prisoners) of a public education system that failed to capture the curiosity, talent and the natural inclination to learn that these prisoners had at a young age. There is a terrible societal price we choose to pay for so many poor educational outcomes. In an interesting and tragic way we have transformed “school failure”, into some very robust, financially rich and vibrant criminal justice-social service systems. However, I think that there is a more humane, positive and a safer path to economic development besides depending on school failure.
And that is why the answer to the “tenure” question will ultimately reflect our thoughts on the ethics of professionalism, and our responsibly to the nation’s future. If public schools were declared, and designated HROs, the tenure debate would be brought into a self-determining/defining focus. A hierarchy of “rights” will be established that in all situations favor the safety and educational well-being of children. The school system would then shift from a primary mission as a “business”, and an employer of adults; to a “prime directive” to do everything within its power to do no harm to children; which means to educate them as if we all saw every school child, as our own child; as if we need every child to cure, care and comfort us as we pass on the responsibility for the planet to them. As if our future well-being as a nation depended on them; and you know something; it really does! | 2019-04-22T20:59:49 | http://majmuse.net/2014/11/20/response-to-the-article-a-teachers-view-on-tenure/ |

A luscious spiced coconut milk sauce and nutrient-dense bok choy add a delightful light, sweet flavor to this stovetop-braised fish. Try it today to enjoy both its delectable flavor and health benefits.
Not only is coconut prized for being delicious, like in the recipe for Fish Cooked in Spicy Coconut Sauce with Bok Choy above, but this tropical fruit is prized for its versatility and healthfulness. When young, a coconut is large and green, and used mostly for coconut water, a refreshingly sweet drink full of electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The white meat at this stage is soft and gelatinous. Coconut products such as fresh and dried coconut, coconut milk, and coconut oil are made from the thick white meat of the mature coconut, which has fibrous brown skin on the outside.
Coconut oil, a traditional oil used in such diverse cultures as India, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. The oil is used to stabilize blood sugar, which makes it good for those suffering from metabolic syndrome; it is good for those with candida and digestive ailments as well.

1. Say “Ah” – your oral health matters as it is a direct link to your heart health. The sage advice to ”brush and floss” and stay current with your dental check-ups holds true as inflammation and problems in the mouth affect the heart as unchecked nasty oral bacteria can travel and cause cardio havoc.
2. Look beyond your cholesterol profile – key biomarkers for your heart health also include: cardio C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation), serum homocysteine (an amino acid involved in vascular health), and lipid particle size (the “size” of your good and bad cholesterol is important.) Be sure to pay attention to your triglycerides as these blood fats are an independent cardiovascular risk factor.
3. Assess your “middle weight” – your waist measurement and your waist to hip ratio indicate whether you are carrying too much belly fat and a thick waist increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. A simple tape measure is a heart smart tool, so for the gals, aim for a waist measurement under 35 inches or a waist to hip ratio less than .8 and for the guys, aim for a belt that buckles under 40” and a waist to hip ratio less than .9-1,0.
4. Dance the night or day away – or zumba, walk, bike, swim – any aerobic activity that keeps your body moving for at least 30 minutes every day is “a heartfelt message in motion” to your cardiovascular system.
5. Eat to your heart’s content…whether you follow the DASH diet, Portfolio Plan, Ornish program, Mediterranean Diet or Sinatra Solution, one thing is for sure… It’s important to bathe the heart in naturally nutrient rich substances including phytosterols, polyphenols, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. MyFoodMyHealth recipes are packed with these heart smart goodies. Here’s our “delicious dozen” to keep your heart happy: avocadoes, berries, celery, flaxseed, dark greens (kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, collards etc), legumes (lentils, beans and whole soy foods), olive oil (extra-virgin of course), nuts, salmon, sardines, seeds and whole grains (barley, oats, quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth).

When you make food choices nutrient density is an important concept to follow. What does this mean? Nutrient density simply refers to the amount of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber found in a portion of food relative to its calories. An excellent nutrient-dense food has a high nutrient to calorie ratio.
Foods with a high nutrient density are essential for a strong immune system, detoxification and cellular repair. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and poultry are all nutrient-dense foods that pack plenty of nutrients for the calorie. Some of our favorite nutrient-dense foods include kale, watercress, bok choy, spinach, blue berries, strawberries, plums, all beans, brazil nuts, walnuts and seeds such as flax, sunflower and sesame.
When shopping, make sure to stock your grocery list with nutrient-dense foods. The best place to find nutrient-dense foods at the grocery store is along the outer edges of the store where the fresh produce, fresh lean meats, low-fat dairy, and fresh bakery goods are located. Avoid the inner aisles with the processed and pre-packed foods. These foods are often loaded with calories but do not have much nutritional value.
In the video How to Choose Your Food, MyFoodMyHealth's expert on food, Annemarie Colbin, Ph. D., talks about her philosophy on whole, fresh, natural, local and real food and teaches you how to choose food that tastes great and is good for you. | 2019-04-22T10:15:51 | http://myfoodmyhealth.com/about-us/newsletter/newsletter-2-2 |
Quality improvement, process improvement, physician leadership development, patient safety, physician professionalism.
PURPOSE: Physician disrespectful behavior affects quality of care, patient safety, and collaborative clinical team function. Evidence defining the demographics, ethnography, and epidemiology of disrespectful behavior is lacking.METHOD: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of reports of disrespectful physician behavior at Stanford Hospital and Clinics from March 2011 through February 2015. Events were stratified by role, gender, specialty, and location in the hospital or clinics where the event occurred. Event rate ratios were estimated using a multivariable negative binomial regression model. Correlation of rates of faculty and trainees in the same specialty were assessed.RESULTS: One-hundred-ninety-nine events concerned faculty; 160 concerned trainees. Events were concentrated among a small number of physicians in both groups. The rates of faculty and trainee events within the same specialty were highly correlated (Spearman's rho: 0.90; P < .001). Male physicians had an adjusted event rate 1.86 (95% CI = 1.33 - 2.60; P < .001) times that of females. Procedural physicians were 3.67 times (95% CI = 2.63 - 5.13; P < .001) more likely to have a disrespectful behavior event than non-procedural physicians when adjusting for other covariates. Most common location for faculty was the operating rooms (69 events, 34%); for trainees, the medical/surgical units (43 events, 27%).CONCLUSIONS: Patterns of physician disrespectful behavior differed by role, gender, specialty, and location. Rates among faculty and trainees of the same specialty were highly correlated. These patterns can be used to create more focused education and training for specific physician groups and individualized remediation interventions.
Because of modern challenges in quality, safety, patient centeredness, and cost, health care is evolving to adopt leadership practices of highly effective organizations. Traditional physician training includes little focus on developing leadership skills, which necessitates further training to achieve the potential of collaborative management.The aim of this study was to design a leadership program using established models for continuing medical education and to assess its impact on participants' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and performance.The program, delivered over 9 months, addressed leadership topics and was designed around a framework based on how physicians learn new clinical skills, using multiple experiential learning methods, including a leadership active learning project. The program was evaluated using Kirkpatrick's assessment levels: reaction to the program, learning, changes in behavior, and results. Four cohorts are evaluated (2008-2011).Reaction: The program was rated highly by participants (mean = 4.5 of 5). Learning: Significant improvements were reported in knowledge, skills, and attitudes surrounding leadership competencies. Behavior: The majority (80%-100%) of participants reported plans to use learned leadership skills in their work. Improved team leadership behaviors were shown by increased engagement of project team members.All participants completed a team project during the program, adding value to the institution.Results support the hypothesis that learning approaches known to be effective for other types of physician education are successful when applied to leadership development training. Across all four assessment levels, the program was effective in improving leadership competencies essential to meeting the complex needs of the changing health care system.Developing in-house programs that fit the framework established for continuing medical education can increase physician leadership competencies and add value to health care institutions. Active learning projects provide opportunities to practice leadership skills addressing real word problems.
Purpose Physician leadership programs serve to develop individual capabilities and to affect organizational outcomes. Evaluations of such programs often focus solely on short-term increases in individual capabilities. The purpose of this paper is to assess long-term individual and organizational outcomes of the Stanford Leadership Development Program. Design/methodology/approach There are three data sources for this mixed-methods study: a follow-up survey in 2013-2014 of program participants ( n=131) and matched (control) non-participants ( n=82) from the 2006 to 2011 program years; promotion and retention data; and qualitative in-person interview data. The authors analyzed survey data across leadership knowledge, skills, and attitudes as well as leadership titles held, following program participation using Pearson's χ2 test of independence. Using logistic regression, the authors analyzed promotion and retention among participants and non-participants. Finally, the authors applied both a grounded theory approach and qualitative content analysis to analyze interview data. Findings Program participants rated higher than non-participants across 25 of 30 items measuring leadership knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and were more likely to hold regional/national leadership titles and to have gained in leadership since program participation. Asian program participants were significantly more likely than Asian non-participants to have been promoted, and women participants were less likely to have left the institution than non-participants. Finally, qualitative interviews revealed the long-term impact of leadership learning and networking, as well as the enduring, sustained impact on the organization of projects undertaken during the program. Originality/value This study is unique in its long-term and comprehensive mixed-methods nature of evaluation to assess individual and organizational impact of a physician leadership program.
The aim of the study was to examine the impact of a surgical comanagement (SCM) hospitalist program on patient outcomes at an academic institution.Prior studies may have underestimated the impact of SCM due to methodological shortcomings.This is a retrospective study utilizing a propensity score-weighted intervention (n = 16,930) and control group (n = 3695). Patients were admitted between January 2009 to July 2012 (pre-SCM) and September 2012 to September 2013 (post-SCM) to Orthopedic or Neurosurgery at our institution. Using propensity score methods, linear regression, and a difference-in-difference approach, we estimated changes in outcomes between pre and post periods, while adjusting for confounding patient characteristics.The SCM intervention was associated with a significant differential decrease in the proportion of patients with at least 1 medical complication [odds ratio (OR) 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.74-0.96; P = 0.008), the proportion of patients with length of stay at least 5 days (OR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.67-0.84; P < 0.001), 30-day readmission rate for medical cause (OR 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52-0.81; P < 0.001), and the proportion of patients with at least 2 medical consultants (OR 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49-0.63; P < 0.001). There was no significant change in patient satisfaction (OR 1.08; 95% CI, 0.87-1.33; P = 0.507). We estimated average savings of $2642 to $4303 per patient in the post-SCM group. The overall provider satisfaction with SCM was 88.3%.The SCM intervention reduces medical complications, length of stay, 30-day readmissions, number of consultants, and cost of care.
A growing body of evidence suggests that patient (including family) feedback can provide compelling opportunities for developing risk management and quality improvement strategies, as well as improving customer satisfaction. The Patient Representative Department (PRD) at Stanford Health Care (SHC) (Stanford, California) created a streamlined patient complaint capture and resolution process to improve the capture of patient complaints and grievances from multiple parts of the organization and manage them in a centralized database.In March 2008 the PRD rolled out a data management system for tracking patient complaints and generating reports to SHC leadership, and SHC needed to modify and address its data input procedures. A reevaluation of the overall work flow showed it to be complex, with over-lapping and redundant steps, and to lack standard processes and actions. Best-practice changes were implemented: (1) leadership engagement, (2) increased capture of complaints, (3) centralized data and reporting, (4) improved average response times to patient grievances and complaints, and (5) improved service recovery. Standard work flows were created for each category of complaint linked to specific actions.Complaints captured increased from 20 to 270 per month. Links to a specific physician rose from 16%-36% to more than 80%. In addition, 68% of high-complaint physicians improved. With improved work flows, responses to patients expressing concerns met a requirement of less than seven days.Standardized work flows for managing complaints and grievances, centralized data management and clear leadership accountability can improve responsiveness to patients, capture incidents more consistently, and meet regulatory and accreditation requirements.
As complexity of care of hospitalized patients has increased, the need for communication and collaboration among members of the team caring for the patient has become increasingly important. This often takes the form of a nurse's need to contact a patient's physician to discuss some aspect of care and modify treatment plans. Errors in communication delay care and can pose risk to patients. This report describes the successful implementation of a standardized team-based paging system at an academic center. Results showed a substantial improvement in nurses' perceptions of knowing how to contact the correct physician when discussion of the patient's care is needed. This improvement was found across multiple medical and surgical specialties and was particularly effective for services with the greatest communication problems.
Evidence-based performance measures, known as core measures, have been established by The Joint Commission to improve the quality of care for patient populations, such as those with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), as well as to improve the quality of surgical care--the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) measures. Hospital administrators have traditionally held academic and community physicians and hospital clinicians accountable for integrating the core measures into daily practice. Such efforts have often led to suboptimal results because of the belief that the "organization" (macrosystem) is the appropriate level at which to work to improve quality. Stanford Hospital and Clinics (Stanford, California) has instead held leaders of clinical microsystems--the clinical units where care is provided--accountable to improve performance on the core measures. The strategic approaches taken for this initiative include engagement of the hospital's board of directors; clear assignment of accountability among interdisciplinary care teams to drive the change; implementation of a unit-based medical director program; transparency of core measure performance at the microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem levels; and concurrent monitoring with rapid feedback of results.In 2007, the first year of this initiative, the 24-metric composite compliance score for all four core measures increased from 64% to 82%. The composite score was sustained at a minimum of 90% during 2009 and Quarter 1 of 2010.Holding clinical microsystems accountable for improving unit performance proved beneficial to macrosystem performance of the Joint Commission core measures.
To develop a new instrument for judging the appropriateness of three key services (new prescription, diagnostic test, and referral) as delivered in primary care outpatient visits.Candidate items were generated by a seven-member expert panel, using a five-step nominal technique, for each of three service categories in primary care: new prescriptions, diagnostic tests, and referrals. Expert panelists and a convenience sample of 95 community-based primary care physicians ranked items for (i) importance and (ii) feasibility of ascertaining from a typical office chart record. Resulting items were used to construct a measure of appropriateness using principals of structured implicit review. Two physician reviewers used this measure to judge the appropriateness of 421 services from 160 outpatient visits.Primary care practices in a staff model health maintenance organization and a large preferred provider network.Inter-rater agreement was measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and kappa statistic.For overall appropriateness, the ICC and kappa were 0.52 and 0.44 for new medication, 0.35 and 0.32 for diagnostic test, and 0.40 and 0.41 for referral, respectively. Only 3% of services were judged to be inappropriate by either reviewer. The proportion of services judged to be less than definitely appropriate by one or both reviewers was 56% for new medication, 31% for diagnostic test, and 22% for referral.This new measure of appropriateness of primary care services has fair inter-rater agreement for new medications and referrals, similar to appropriateness measures of other general services, but poor agreement for diagnostic tests. It may be useful as a tool to assess the appropriateness of common primary care services in studies of health care quality, but is not suitable for evaluating performance of individual physicians.
A Joint Planning Committee Report was issued in 1974 exploring how Stanford University might itself provide primary care to students, faculty, employees and their dependents at low cost. The report called for the creation of a health maintenance organization owned by its subscribers in affiliation with Stanford Medical Center. However, because the report was dismissed by the dean of the School of Medicine as being unworkable, the Midpeninsula Health Service (MHS) began operating as an unaffiliated, nonprofit health plan in downtown Palo Alto in January 1976. The MHS's planning, early operation, move to the Stanford campus, financial viability and ultimate fate are examined as an example of action research in health care.Source documents were examined by the authors, a founding MHS board member and its two inaugural medical directors, in compiling a 30-year organizational history.The MHS was remarkably prescient in its early use of small primary care groups that included midlevel practitioners, the principles of evidence-based medicine, the participation of patients in self-care activities, and a commitment to the continuous monitoring and improvement of quality. Imputed annualized costs of care were 30% lower than contemporary fee-for-service care and 20% lower than that of Kaiser, with no discernible difference in health outcomes.Action research methods can be useful in identifying and testing potential solutions to vexing problems in health care delivery.
Measuring and improving the quality of care while curtailing costs are essential objectives in capitated care. As patient care moves from the hospital to outpatient settings, quality management resources must be shifted to ambulatory care process improvement. The Quality Improvement and Efficiency Financial Incentives Program at Stanford University Medical Center was adopted to increase quality improvement efforts and contain costs. THE INCENTIVE PROGRAM: Each department's budget for care of capitated patients was reduced by 5% from the previous year. Return of a reserve fund (10% of payments for specialty care) required completion of substantive quality improvement projects and containing costs. Successful departments were also eligible for bonus funds. Implementation strategies included endorsement by clinical leaders, physician education, use of administrative data to identify project topics and support measurement of quality and cost variables, project templates and time lines, and the availability of clinical quality managers with special expertise in clinical process improvement.Eight of 13 clinical departments developed and implemented 19 ambulatory quality improvement projects to varying degrees. Success in the program was roughly correlated with the potential impact of the incentive on revenues and the status of the lead person selected by the department to spearhead their efforts. Only 5 departments achieved their cost containment goals.Financial incentives are one method of encouraging physicians to use clinical process improvement methods. Endorsement by clinical leaders and selection of realistic beginning projects enhance chances for success. The capitated population has attributes that make it an attractive focus for initial quality improvement efforts.
The demand for teachers of family practice is being met in part by recent residency graduates. The background of these individuals would not predict that they would become teachers, and a major role adaptation is required of them. Yet a number of factors lead them to elect to become faculty members. They possess several qualities different from faculty members coming from practice backgrounds and are, therefore, able to make unique contributions. A combination of recent graduates and practice-experienced faculty members may represent the ideal mix for the further development of academic family practice.
Providing exposure for family practice residence to all aspects of community medicine is a common goal of training programs. The Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center Family Practice Program has initiated an innovative project which involves residents serving as team physicians for local college athletic teams. This provides a valuable opportunity for residents to learn skills they can be expected to need in their future practice. The team physician's role offers educational potential for family practice residents through experience with acute orthopedic problems as well as the preventive and psychological aspects of sports medicine. This role also serves as an example of physician responsibility for health-related activities in the acommunity.

WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush writes today that President Obama is to blame for rising persecution of Christians in Iraq — which started following the 2003 U.S. invasion of the country — and traces it all back to Obama’s real father: Malcolm X.
While many conservatives have speculated that President Obama’s father was actually labor activist Frank Marshall Davis, others such as Pamela Geller believe that the president’s father was Malcolm X.
Considering the president’s Islamist and Marxist proclivities and the philosophical bent of his closest collaborators, it ought not be too much of a surprise that Obama’s sympathy index for these persecuted Christians is in the negative digits. Still, his lack of inclination to even pretend that these atrocities are unacceptable not only adds insult to injury, but indicates something more than a mere lack of sympathy.
It indicates derision and perhaps even hatred of Christians.
In his pre-teens – once again, according to the narrative – Obama headed to Hawaii and fell under the care of his communist grandparents. He was also mentored by iconic communist Frank Marshall Davis (whom some contend is his real father, but we won’t go there just yet). Even still, during this period, Obama become more intimately acquainted with Marxism rather than Islam.
From there it was on to a posh high school in Hawaii, then supposedly to college back on the mainland, where the narrative becomes infinitely more sketchy.
Some have speculated that Obama’s real father may have been the slain black civil rights leader Malcolm X, who embraced Sunni Islam after his pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964 and being expelled from the Nation of Islam. Apart from the uncanny likeness of the two men, there are those who claim that ample evidence exists to support this theory. One former intelligence operative has come forward, asserting that DNA evidence exists excluding Barack Obama Sr. as the president’s father. None of these parties has been able to produce incontrovertible evidence, however.
All things considered, a Malcolm X paternity certainly would explain the president having also embraced Sunni Islam, which he is dedicatedly working to advance. It might also explain his poorly concealed anti-Christian bias, as well as his administration’s appalling treatment of Israel.
Tragically, the wholesale persecution of Christians in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Muslim world is likely to continue for some time, as are the ongoing efforts of radicals and Islamists in America – also aided by the Obama administration – to disenfranchise Christians here. There are many fronts upon which the latter is occurring, although the chief principals of these efforts are a distinct minority among us.
While the majority of Americans would find themselves unequivocally at odds with Obama’s ultimate goals, arresting the advancement of his agenda will probably fall to another distinct minority among us – those who, like our nation’s founders, understand and love liberty, and who are willing to stand alone if necessary and articulate hard truths. | 2019-04-24T11:03:52 | http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/erik-rush-obama-hates-christians-because-malcolm-x-is-his-father-probably/ |

Despite dramatic economic gains, Africa still lags behind other regions in certain economic indicators—perhaps nowhere more so than in the level of investment in science, technology, and innovation (STI). In this policy brief, Southern Voices Network Scholar Ayodotun Bobadoye discusses the importance of STI on the continent and recommends a coordinated new approach, embodied in the AU's STISA-2024 plan, to kickstart Africa's knowledge economy and capture the unrealized STI potential of African women.

Gymnastics with Cricket owner Kristen Gogerty had her heart set on finding a Naples beach bungalow fixer-upper in the mid-$300K range.
Gymnastics with Cricket owner Kristen Gogerty, who goes by the nickname “Cricket,” had her heart set on finding a beach bungalow fixer-upper in the mid-$300,000 range — a rarity in the Naples area.
Helping Gogerty to find her dream home was Naples Realtor Dovile Collins, of Caine Premiere Properties. This will be Collins' first appearance on the show but the fifth episode "House Hunters" has aired based in Naples.
Each episode of "House Hunters" has a dilemma — for Collins, it was finding something in Gogerty’s budget near the water.
“For this kind of a budget, to find a single-family home near the water is difficult,” Collins said.
Gogerty’s best friend, Jennifer Fox, who works as a parks manager for Naples, joined her in the show to be her voice of reason and help her find the perfect home in her budget.
But Fox didn’t see eye-to-eye with all of Gogerty’s visions.
Although Gogerty couldn't say much about the homes she visits on the show, she wanted an authentic Naples home.
The show was filmed six months ago over a span of five days, but Gogerty said she has yet to see the episode.
"It was so much fun," she said. "I think I made a fool of myself on national television, but I hope to make people laugh."
Gogerty will see the episode for the first time Thursday night with family and friends at a watch party at Bokamper’s Sports Bar and Grill in North Naples. | 2019-04-24T12:58:01 | https://www.naplesnews.com/story/life/home-garden/2018/04/16/naples-gymnastics-teacher-appears-hgtvs-house-hunters/520136002/ |
The term “ephemeral” is a most notoriously negative term in reference to marketing (unless of course you’re describing Snapchat.) Trending or being a fad is NOT the goal you want with your marketing. The goal should be timeless content. Timeless content is key, or in the words of DJ Khaled “The King of Fads,” timelessness is the key to success.
Content that can withstand the test of time, besides the show Friends, is one of the most difficult things to achieve. However, with the right tools, knowledge, and strategy it can be done. Think of timeless content this way: content that drives traffic forever. Sounds great right?
With so much content overflowing our feeds, inboxes, and brain space, most of the content we have access to is relevant only momentarily or for a short time, thus ephemeral. However, there is certain content that can drive traffic to your site continuously. Think about subjects in school, these subjects remain current forever. Although more information is added on a continual basis, the basic concepts stay the same. When you’re producing your content, think about things that people will always want to know. Although not all content you produce lasts forever, if you have some timeless content, you’re good to go.
Another great way to create timeless content, answer the important questions. What are constant questions within your industry or certain areas that always need reinforcement? Consider creating content based on those types of needs and always circle back to keep the content alive and well. | 2019-04-26T10:30:57 | https://www.elevatemybrand.com/blog-and-press/ephemeral-content-marketing-the-wrong-way |
Each of these magnificent glasses is specifically designed to enhance the flavor of aged port.
Riedel Vinum Port/Sherry Set of 2 (P/N 6416/60). Fortified, sweet red wine is best served in a glass specific to the celebrated Portuguese after-dinner beverage.
Standing 6-1/2 inches high, holding 8.5 oz. at full capacity, this small glass still gives hearty wines room to breathe.
The non-leaded crystal is fire-polished for a lovely finish.
The wide base ensures stability and reduces the risk of a spill.
People who own it call it a great all-around glass for serving a variety of wines, including spirits and cordials.
Riedel was the first to tailor machine-made glasses to specific varietals.
It costs 50% less than the Riedel Sommeliers Port glass.
Also available in an 8 stem pack.
Received a 1985 warre's vintage port as a wedding gift and needed to buy some glasses to really bring out the best. We are waiting to open the port but have used with a young port and PX sherry and they are great. | 2019-04-20T08:21:06 | https://www.iwawine.com/riedel-vinum-port |

Home >Speed Up >How to speed up WordPress website from the non-technical perspective?
We will show you how to speed up WordPress website from the user perspective, using some of the simple, yet efficient techniques and tools, so-called “quick-wins”.
The stuff that speeds up (or slows down) a web site is truly a random pile of tweaks, tips and changes. It’s a ton of little things that add up to enormous impact for visitors and search engines alike.
You will see which free web tool to use to identify the biggest speed problems on your site, and how to remove them.
We will briefly introduce you to Swift Performance Premium plugin (speed up “Swiss Army knife”) which you can use to perform most of your site improvements in the shortest time possible.
Why page speed really matters?
Page speed is a measurement of how the content of a site’s page loads.
A faster site (which means faster-loading pages) provides a better user experience.
Lower page load times mean that less visitors are visiting more than one page.
Sites with average page load times of 2 seconds get 8.9 page views on average, while those with 7 second page load times get just 3.7 page views on average.
Content sharing and likes improve—if your visitors actually see your site’s content.
Pages that load slower than 2-3 seconds make visitors impatient.
The better the user experience, the more you sell. Page speed impacts the very core of the user experience and conversions.
If it takes too long for your website to load when someone clicks on your ad, they’re more likely to give up and leave your website.
Poor website speed experience really can impact your customers’ perception of and loyalty to your brand.
The client, which is usually the web browser, asks the server for content.
When the server delivers its response, the browser has to ‘draw’ it all.
If a web page is poorly coded or structured, the browser has a hard time doing that rendering and slows down.
The server gets the request from the “client”/web browser and delivers a reply.
It has to build all of the pages on the site, process various forms, manage leads and do all the other “dirty” work.
If the server is slow, than everything’s slow. If you speed server up, everything runs faster. However, tweaking server performance requires certain expertise.
The “pipe” (or bandwidth) delivers the output that server creates.
Once the web server replies to a browser request, the response goes through the “pipe”. The more you put into the pipe, the slower it goes.
How fast is fast enough for your pages?
acceptable site’s speed for Desktop is between 2-3 sec and preferable speed is about 1 sec (nearly half of web users nowadays expect a site to load in 2 seconds or less).
acceptable site’s speed for Mobile is between 4-5 sec.
75% mobile users will abandon if takes more than 5 seconds to load.
second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions.
How do you measure the page speed?
Page speed optimization can be difficult, but there are free online tools that make our lives easier – they “advise” us what to do, in order to improve the speed of site’s page.
Quick page speed test. Super simple. Great for impressing (or depressing) clients.
You get the basic summary data.
With Pingdom, you have an option to test the page speed on 4 different locations. Results are all different for each location, which shows that server geo location is important.
Optimization details are listed/ordered by importance and rated on a scale from 0-100. If you follow the tasks and optimize the ones that don’t have a 100% score, you’ll be able to speed up WordPress site relatively quickly.
It keeps track of the history of the tests.
Another quality page speed tester, with a lot more features than the previous tools, for more advanced users.
It has more locations to choose from, an internet speed can be selected, you can enable/disable a few browser options and you can test specific devices.
It does ‘film strips’ showing page render, and lets you ‘race’ with other sites.
Every WebPageTest run is actually 3 runs and displays a detailed waterfall report for each run.
It provides first and repeat load monitoring so you can see how well your browser caching is performing.
It gives the all-important measurements of when the page starts to become useful to the visitor.
Measures page load time and displays it in the Chrome browser toolbar.
it doesn’t accurately measure your site’s speed when it comes to how your visitors perceive it around the globe.
it doesn’t provide any speed result, instead it throws you a list of things you should improve. On top of that throws you a score without giving sources of results.
its score isn’t based on the actual speeds of the site but on the “things Google believes you should be optimizing”.
If your visitors get a fast site that’s easy to use, then you did your part of the story.
How can you improve the page speed?
Price – choosing the cheapest hosting usually isn’t a good idea. You know how the saying goes: “you get what you pay for”. If you want your site to grow and (probably) generate income, you must invest in server power to guarantee fast loading pages and 100% uptime.
Limitations/tech specs – when you’re running an e-commerce site or a site rich in content and multimedia, you must sign up for a hosting plan with enough RAM, disk space and processing power to meet your business needs.
Support – hosting with 24/7 support is your target. If your site unexpectedly goes down – you want to be able to talk to someone to sort out the issue, day or night.
Reviews – check what real people say about specific hosting. Testimonials help you figure out if a hosting service is really as reliable as the company advertises. When you want to check some provider, go to ReviewSignal – read how real users perceive their service.
We recommend SiteGround shared hosting: their servers with SSD disks are very fast, highly secured, with advanced integrated services (backup, advanced caching, staging, CloudFlare CDN, etc.), especially in the GoGeek shared hosting package we currently use.
As much as we would like to think that all themes are created equal, the real truth is they are not. Many themes have bloated code with more functionalities than you’ll ever use.
Many WordPress themes are overkill. Your goal should be to choose a lean and lightweight theme that provides the design required for your website and basic functionalities needed.
Before installing a new theme on your WordPress website, test the theme’s demo using one of the above-mentioned on-line speed tools. The results will provide insight into how well-coded the theme is.
Themes we recommend and use: X Theme and X Theme Pro.
Evaluate potential plugins before you install them on your website. With WP Speedster free tool you can analyze the effects of hundreds of plugins on site performance and can help you decide which ones are a no-go.
Test your website. Before installing a new plugin, test your website by using an on-line speed analysis tool. After plugin’s installation test the website again. If you notice website slowed down, find an alternative – more lightweight plugin.
Carefully choose your plugins. Every time a plugin is added to your website more server requests are required to allow them to function properly on the front end of your website. Try to use one plugin that performs multiple functions (such as Swift Performance plugin) rather than using several separate plugins. Also, make sure you do not use plugins that are outdated, as they present security risks and can cause slowdown problems on your website.
Use a plugin Query Monitor: it is a debugging plugin for people with more advanced knowledge/experience.
Does plugin perform complex operations?
Does plugin load many scripts?
Does plugin increase the number of database queries for all page requests?
Does plugin perform requests to external providers?
If the majority of answers to above questions is YES, you should really avoid such plugins and find alternative/lightweight plugins.
Simple things like images compression can have a huge impact on site performance because they are eating up bandwidth so that the server can’t upload and the client can’t download quickly enough. These are among the easiest speed up optimization “quick wins”.
When you create or delete posts, delete comments, change WordPress options, install/uninstall plugins or themes, your database could get bloated with “leftovers” that need to be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning the database on a regular basis rids you of drafts, spam comments, leftover tables, and so on. It’s also recommended you delete unused images, themes, or plugins and fix broken links. Otherwise, your site can seem sluggish.
An alternative is WP-Optimize: an effective tool for automatically automatically cleans your WordPress database so that it runs at maximum efficiency.
Plugins Garbage Collector: scans your WordPress database and shows the tables beyond of core WordPress installation.
Keeping WordPress, themes, and plugins up to date gives you access to the latest features and also lets you take advantage of possible speed improvements.
You must keep your WordPress site, theme and plugins updated to the latest versions if you don’t want your site to became slow, unreliable and vulnerable to security threats.
Caching your site temporarily stores copies of web content to satisfy user requests from the cache database. Caching is really effective to speed up your WordPress site.
Swift Performance (relatively new plugin for website optimization).
WP Rocket (the most popular Premium caching plugin).
quick-win optimization is to upgrade the PHP version to 7.x (which every decent hosting should offer nowadays). PHP 7.x version is, in comparison to older PHP versions, a great speed and performance improvement. It’s rather easy to switch to it, so we recommend you to take advantage of it.
Regularly test your website pages using speed test tools to monitor your site’s speed at different times. We recommend: Pingdom & Page load time.
Invest in a quality hosting provider that can handle your website’s traffic.
Pick an optimized theme with only the functions you need.
We recommend: X Theme & X Theme Pro.
Carefully choose plugins you use to reduce server strain.
Clear out your database of unnecessary data dragging your site down.
Resize, crop, and compress images that you upload to your website.
We recommend: Imagify Image Optimizer.
Update your plugins, theme and WordPress.
Always cache & speed up optimize your website.
websites are created for people, your potential clients.
you must have a good balance between content, design, user experience and page speed.
don’t be obsessed about page speed (and especially with page speed scores!).
… and yes, speed matters, a lot!

Thanks for the information. There are a lot of helpful tips which I’m going to try out.
I am glad you found it useful and in case of any questions – you can ask us here or even better in our specialized Speed Up group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wordpressspeedup/.
great guide, i use siteground and wprocket plugin, but still my TTFB is more than 1sec. I even tried swift performance plugin but no change.. how to fix it?
Great article! My website it hosted with Siteground but it’s on my previous web developer’s hosting account which is part of a larger Siteground account. Does this sound okay or are not all of Siteground’s plans shared hosting?
Thx! You are right that not all of Siteground’s plans are shared hosting.
Do you recommend me checking if it is shared? If it isn’t do I need to change it to help increase speed?
If your current hosting plan satisfies your business needs – you are ok.
Also my theme is ‘x child theme’. Is that different from the theme you suggested and is it okay speed wise? Thanks in advance!
We use X Theme and sometimes its Child theme and for us it is enough well speed optimized. | 2019-04-24T04:40:28 | https://kb.freelancerstools.com/how-to-speed-up-wordpress-website/ |
Adding a conservatory on to your property is something fantastic that you can do for your whole family, and for yourself.
It is a way of adding some additional room to your property, giving everyone a little more breathing space, and particularly important if there are young or teenage children in the home! There are many benefits to having a conservatory, some you may know about and some you possibly won't have even considered.
Adding additional space to your property - A conservatory is a fantastic way to add some extra space to your property without having to throw anything out or ask any of your children to leave! Whether you use your room as a living room, a dining room or even just a family room this is a wonderful place where you can all relax together. An extension will generally be a lot more expensive, so this is a fantastic way to have some more space without blowing the budget.
Somewhere to spend time together - This is particularly relevant if you have your new conservatory as a living room, a dining room or a family room. Your whole family will be able to get together here, play games, eat meals together at the table, dance, sing and just generally have a real large space that can be filled with fun. A conservatory makes a fantastic space for children, who will love being able to play with their toys - particularly in the gorgeous daylight that you have flooding in.
Insulating your home in the winter time - A conservatory will be, generally, built on the back of your home, and will be a fantastic way to insulate your walls and keep the back of your home warmer during the coldest months. This will work as an extra barrier between your home and the elements, and is a great way to save some money on your energy bills.
A suntrap - During the summer months you will be able to enjoy the garden and the sun from your conservatory. This is particularly handy if you are having a family gathering or a barbeque, as you can keep the guests out in the garden and have somewhere else to retire to should it become chilly - or if the typical British wet weather shows up.
Adding value to your property - In addition to generally being a fantastic investment for the whole family, a conservatory is a brilliant way to add some extra value on to your home. It can be advertised to a prospective purchaser as an additional reception room, as well as being a fantastic way to showcase your wonderful gardening skills - and your property's unique appeal.
Overall, there are many fantastic benefits for the whole family from having a conservatory. It is a fantastic way of adding some extra space without having to think about selling your family home and all the upheaval that goes with it. | 2019-04-21T07:15:30 | http://www.homeinteriorsdirectory.co.uk/hints_and_tips/how_a_new_conservatory_can_be_a_space_for_your_whole_family_to_enjoy.shtml |
I chose Digitize voltage and tried to set the maximum buffer size. It will receive many errors with descriptions of the maximum allowed buffer size. Attempts to set the correct buffer size led to subsequent errors and a suggestion to reduce the buffer. | 2019-04-21T09:20:48 | https://forum.tek.com/viewtopic.php?f=363&t=141245&p=286193 |
NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – Three Manchester University players wound up in double figures Wednesday, Nov. 18, helping send the Spartans past Olivet College of Michigan 84-75.
Senior guard Brady Dolezal (Tipton, Ind.) fired in 22 points, which included an impressive 13-of-19 effort from the free throw line; freshman guard Adrian Johnson (Indianapolis, Ind.) continued a strong first week in a Black and Gold uniform tallying 17 points to go with a team-high five steals; and sophomore forward/center Enis Becirevic (Fort Wayne, Ind.) came off the bench to total 15 points. MU, improving to 1-1, held a 43-34 edge on the glass, too, with junior guard Blake Brouwer (Elkhart, Ind.) grabbing 12 rebounds to add to a line that included seven points and three blocked shots.
The hosts, winning the program's 10th consecutive home-opening game, brought the crowd inside Stauffer-Wolfe Arena to its feet early and often. After trailing 8-4 in the opening moments, an 8-0 run gave the Spartans a lead they would relinquish just once. The advantage expanded to as much as 10 late in the first half before the Comets (0-3) rallied back and trimmed the margin to four at the break (41-37). Olivet continued to battle in the opening portion of the second half, eventually holding a 66-65 edge with 9:36 to play before Manchester University went on an 11-2 run and didn't look back.
MU returns to action Saturday, Nov. 21, continuing a three-game home stand. Indiana University – Northwest comes to North Manchester for a 5 p.m. tipoff.
NOTES: Dolezal recorded his ninth 20-point-plus career effort. It was the second in his last three games dating back to the end of 2014-15 … Brouwer's 12 boards were a personal single-game high and the second time he's grabbed 10-or-more … The 28-of-40 free throw total for the Black and Gold marked the most made and attempted charity shots in a game since the 2011-12 campaign. | 2019-04-21T00:17:17 | https://www.muspartans.com/sports/mbkb/2015-16/releases/20151118z7szq8 |
