Are you getting whip-lash from trying to follow the stock market? About the only word to describe what’s going on is ‘crazy’!! Betsy and I are fortunate in that a relatively small percentage of our retirement funds are currently in stocks. So although we mostly missed the market high of last year, we also mostly avoided the dive of the past few weeks.
But we have our own share of financial challenges. Although gas prices are coming down, food prices are still much higher than they were a year ago. November means that our property tax is due and December means the property owner association dues must be paid. So what did we have to do yesterday? Buy a new set of tires for our car! How lucky and we be?
Oh, well, I guess we’re doing our part to help the economy!

This won't be a full post, but just a quick note (probably the first one of a serie) about development with Django.
When we write a TestCase test, if we have defined a setUp method, it will be called before the execution of each test. One could think that the database is completely reset after each test, but this is not true (not like I was thinking). After each test, whatever we wrote on the database is rolled back. If we create a "Client" row (assuming we have a model called Clients) in our setUp, when we call it the second time the ID won't be 1 as someone (me included) could expect. It will be 2 instead, because the database has not completely deleted and created from scratch.
This could be a trivial thing for many people but I was not 100% sure about this so I asked for a confirmation on #django IRC room and people (expecially apollo13) was kind enough to explain me how it works.

BERLIN — Despite a festive, upbeat mood that was boosted by the international premiere of “True Grit,” the 61st Berlin Film Festival got off to a sobering start on Thursday as fest topper Dieter Kosslick and jury prexy Isabella Rossellini paid tribute to convicted Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi.
The director, who had been invited to serve on the international jury, was symbolically represented on stage by an empty chair.
They are among a slew of stars due to attend the fest including Liam Neeson, Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Colin Firth, William Hurt, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci, Harry Belafonte, January Jones, Diane Kruger, Zachary Quinto and Vanessa Redgrave.
Yet reminders of Panahi’s fate — first by Kosslick and German culture minister Bernd Neumann, and then by Panahi himself in a moving letter read by Rossellini — overshadowed the evening’s initial lightheartedness.
In December, an Iranian court sentenced Panahi and fellow filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof to six years in prison and banned them from making films for 20 years.
“The reality is they have deprived me of thinking and writing for 20 years, but they can not keep me from dreaming that in 20 years inquisition and intimidation will be replaced by freedom and free thinking,” Panahi wrote.
The visibly moved audience gave the filmmaker a standing ovation.
Kosslick and Neumann also remembered producer Bernd Eichinger, who died last month.
The Berlinale is screening Eichinger’s 1996 drama “A Girl Called Rosemary” on Saturday. “It will be a chance to say goodbye to Bernd one last time,” Kosslick said.
Neumann praised Eichinger for his immense contribution to German cinema and his instrumental role in the creation of the German Film Academy. “He will be greatly missed,” he added.
Panahi’s fate as well as the momentous upheaval taking place in Egypt and throughout the Middle East is sure to generate plenty of discussion during the fest, but so will the films and the apparent upbeat mood among arriving industryites.
The slew of deals announced on the eve of the fest may be a sign of things to come and the Berlinale’s 11 days of movies, deal-making, parties and red carpet glamour is likely to further boost the buoyant cheeriness among festgoers.

But it happens in New Zealand, and recently it's been happening a lot in Christchurch.
The earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 have led to significant discoveries about how people lived in 19th century Christchurch: the food they ate, the medicines they took and the toys children played with.
The artefacts we're finding during archaeological work in the city bring Christchurch's rich history to life - this is our city's story, our city's past and part of who we, as Christchurch residents, are today.
Through our news blog, we'll share our journey as we seek to understand more of this story and to learn more about life in 19th century Christchurch. The artefacts and sites discussed in our blog were excavated during archaeological work carried out as a requirement of either the Historic Places Act 1993 or the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014.
More information about this process, and about archaeology in New Zealand, can be found on the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga website.

Richmond Community Schools will provide free breakfasts and lunches for children ages 18 and younger during the summer.
RICHMOND, Ind. — Children ages 18 and younger can eat free meals five days a week throughout the summer at Richmond Community Schools building cafeterias.
The Food Service Department will provide breakfast and lunch from June 4 to Aug. 3, except for the week of July 2-6. Food Service Coordinator Margaret Larue said that for the first time hot entrees will be served at lunch, or a child could choose a grab-and-go cold meal.
"We're hoping that will bring more kids in," Larue said.
RCS is working to acquire a food truck for next summer to visit schools that do not have summer school, Larue said. She thinks transportation problems limit the number of children who have taken advantage of the free summer meals during past years.
Breakfast will offer a daily breakfast pack with milk or an entree with fruit/juice and milk. The entrees will be dutch waffles on Mondays, cherry Frudel on Tuesdays, biscuits and gravy on Wednesdays, cinnamon rolls on Thursdays and pancake wraps on Fridays.
For Monday lunches, the menu will be bosco sticks or Italian boscos with marinara sauce, chips, fruit cup and milk. Tuesday's menu is a cheeseburger or popcorn chicken, chips, frozen juice cup, pickle spears and milk. Wednesday's meal consists of a breaded chicken sandwich or mini-corn dogs with Tostitos, salsa, fruit cup and milk. Thursday's men rotates Domino's, Little Caesars and Mancino's pizza with chortles, fruitable plus, fresh orange slices and milk. Fridays will feature chicken tenders or hot dog, cheese puffs, baby carrots, fruit cup and milk.
The meal schedule for Richmond High School is 7:30-8 a.m. for breakfast and 10:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. for lunch June 4 -29, 8-9 a.m. and 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. July 9-13 and 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. July 16-Aug. 3.
At Hibberd, breakfast will be 8:30-9 a.m. and lunch 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. June 11-29, and Test will serve breakfast 8-8:30 a.m. and lunch noon-12:30 p.m. July 16-20.
Children do not need to register for the meals and may participate as many days as they can.

Homelessness is defined as anyone who does not have access to safe, affordable, appropriate, permanent housing to which they can return whenever they choose.
What images come to mind when you think of people experiencing homelessness? You might imagine someone sleeping in park shelters, living on the streets or in cars, staying in an emergency shelter, or staying under a bridge. Unfortunately these scenarios can all be correct. However, the person you see on the street is just the tip of the iceberg, representing a small portion of the homeless population in our city.
Homeless people are individuals and families who once had housing but now have no place of their own to live and don’t have enough money to pay for life's necessities. For a variety of reasons, increasing numbers of people in our community find themselves without access to sustained, safe and affordable housing.
Brandon Housing First is initially focusing our efforts on those who are dealing with chronic and episodic homelessness. Chronically homeless refers to individuals, often with disabling conditions, who are currently homeless and have been homeless for six months or more in the past year. Episodically homeless refers to individuals who are currently homeless and have experienced three or more episodes of homelessness in the past year.
This includes people who lack housing and are not accessing emergency shelters or accommodation, except during extreme weather conditions. In most cases, people are staying in places that are not designed for or fit for human habitation.
Public space, such as sidewalks, squares, parks, forests, etc.
This refers to people who, because they cannot secure permanent housing, are accessing emergency shelter and system supports, generally provided at no cost or minimal cost to the user. Such accommodation represents a stop-gap institutional response to homelessness provided by government, non-profit, faith based organizations and / or volunteers.
These facilities are designed to meet the immediate needs of people who are homeless. Such short-term emergency shelters may target specific sub-populations, including women, families, youth or Aboriginal persons, for instance. These shelters typically have minimal eligibility criteria, offer shared sleeping facilities and amenities, and often expect clients to leave in the morning. They may or may not offer food, clothing or other services. Some emergency shelters allow people to stay on an ongoing basis while others are short term and are set up to respond to special circumstances, such as extreme weather.
These shelters provide basic emergency and crisis services including safe accommodation, meals, information, and referral. They provide a high security environment for women (and sometimes men) and children fleeing family violence or other crisis situations. Residents are not required to leave during the day. These facilities offer private rooms for families and a range of supports to help residents rebuild their lives.
EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR PEOPLE FLEEING A NATURAL DISASTER OR DESTRUCTION OF ACCOMMODATION DUE TO FIRES, FLOODS, ETC.
This describes situations in which people, who are technically homeless and without permanent shelter, access accommodation that offers no prospect of permanence. Those who are provisionally accommodated may be accessing temporary housing provided by government or the non-profit sector, or may have independently made arrangements for short-term accommodation.
Interim housing is a systems-supported form of housing that is meant to bridge the gap between unsheltered homelessness or emergency accommodation and permanent housing. In some cases referred to as ‘transitional housing’, this form of accommodation typically provides services beyond basic needs, offers residents more privacy, and places greater emphasis on participation and social engagement. Interim housing targets those who would benefit from structure, support and skill-building prior to moving to long term housing stability, with the ultimate goal of preventing a return to homelessness.
Often referred to as ‘couch surfers’ or the ‘hidden homeless’, this describes people who stay with friends, family, or even strangers. They are typically not paying rent, their duration of stay is unsustainable in the long term, and they do not have the means to secure their own permanent housing in the future.
In some cases people who are homeless make temporary rental arrangements, such as staying in motels, hostels, rooming houses, etc. Although occupants pay rent, the accommodation does not offer the possibility of permanency. People living in these situations are often considered to be part of the ‘hidden homeless’ population.
Individuals are considered to be provisionally accommodated and ‘at risk’ of homelessness if there are no arrangements in place to ensure they move into safe, permanent housing upon release from institutional care.
Prior to securing their own housing, recently arrived immigrants and refugees may be temporarily housed while receiving settlement support and orientation to life in Canada. They are considered to be homeless if they have no means or prospects of securing permanent housing.
Although not technically homeless, this includes individuals or families whose current housing situations are dangerously lacking security or stability, and so are considered to be at risk of homelessness. They are living in housing that is intended for permanent human habitation, and could potentially be permanent (as opposed to those who are provisionally accommodated).
An important distinction to make is between those who are at “imminent risk” of becoming homeless and those who are “precariously housed”.
No matter the level of probability, all who can be categorized as being “at risk” of homelessness possess a shared vulnerability; for them, a single event, unexpected expense, crisis, or trigger is all it may take for them to lose their housing. As the risk factors mount and compound, so too does the possibility of becoming homeless.
Many factors can contribute to individuals and families being at imminent risk of homelessness. Though in some cases individual factors (such as those listed below) may be most significant, in most cases it is the interaction of structural and individual risk that, in the context of a crisis, influence pathways into homelessness. In other words, what separates those who are at risk of homelessness due to precarious housing from those who are at imminent risk, is the onset of a crisis, a turn in events, or the increase in acuity of one or more underlying risk factors.
Many individuals and families experience severe housing affordability problems, due to their income, the local economy and / or the lack of availability of affordable housing that meets their needs in the local market. The income of these households is not sufficient to cover the household’s basic shelter and non-shelter costs. This includes people who are on government benefits but who do not have sufficient funds to pay for basic needs. The greater the shortfall of income in covering basic costs, the more at risk of homelessness the household is. Those classified as “precariously housed” face challenges that may or may not leave them homeless in the immediate or near future (in the absence of an intervention). Those who manage to retain their housing in such circumstances often do so at the expense of meeting their nutritional needs, heating their homes, providing proper child care and other expenses that contribute to health and well-being.

If you don't already own a laminator, you might be missing out on opportunities to expand your capabilities and customer base. Here are some tips for first-time buyers.
It's tough to justify purchasing new equipment in an uncertain economy. But sometimes a device or technology comes along that offers you the opportunity to expand business, diversify your client base, keep more work in house, and generate products of higher quality. Enter the laminator, a tool that can accomplish all this and more--provided you can identify the right mix of machine features to meet your needs today and into the future.
The large variety of laminator models, sizes, and options can make machine selection a nightmare. To help you avoid confusion when shopping for a laminator, this article will walk through the features and functions you'll encounter on systems designed for graphics 36 in. and wider.
The notion that a laminator is only useful for image enhancement and protection sells the technology short. While using a laminator to add a protective overlaminate or encapsulate a graphic in barrier film will increase the durability and useful life of the print, the laminator serves a greater purpose.
"A laminator is not just a laminator--it's a print converter," says David Goetter, a consultant to laminator manufacturers and end users. "Laminators not only laminate, they mount, as well as bond, different types of polyesters or vinyls of different thickness to actual printed images."
To determine how a laminator might fit into your operation, you have to look at where your business is and where it's going. If you work with vehicle graphics or outdoor displays, a laminator will enable you to provide graphics with extra resistance to damage from the elements and fading caused by UV exposure. This extra protection is most beneficial for prints produced on aqueous inkjet printers, which have limited resistance to outdoor conditions. But even inkjet and screen-printed graphics produced with solvent-based or UV inks will see extra durability from overlaminating.
The same laminator you use to protect flexible vinyl- or paper-based graphics could also be used to mount prints to stiffer substrates, such as foam board. Besides keeping images secure and resistant to curling, rigid mounting can open up new opportunities in signage and P-O-P for your business. Some high-end thermal laminators will even function as high-speed transfer devices, allowing you to transfer thermal-resin and dye-sublimation prints from carrier materials to final substrates to produce banners and other fabric-based graphics.
Adding laminating capabilities keeps work in house and eliminates the time and expense of sending jobs out for lamination. According to Mike Hannon, president of LEDCO's graphic laminating business, the cost of jobbing out laminating is substantial compared to the cost of materials and equipment to perform lamination in house, especially because third-party laminating services often come with minimum order charges. Under such circumstances, a laminating job on a single print could end up costing you $100. "You're going to spend a lot more going out of house, and a lot of out-of-house guys tend to shy away from one-offs because they don't have any control over the media, inks, printing system, dry time, and all the other things you need to know when laminating," Hannon says.
The addition of laminating equipment also opens up opportunities to branch out into lucrative niche markets that rely on short-run product finishing. Dan Haan, general manager of Advanced Greig, says most end users are interested in putting prints through some finishing process, whether it's adding a textured overlaminate for a trade-show application or mounting a print to a rigid substrate for display in a courtroom. "Most of the industry isn't satisfied with just a paper poster," he says.
What type of laminator do you need?
Most laminators are so similar in purpose that choosing from many options and models can be tough. Your best bet is to start by considering laminator size. In general, it's best to buy the widest laminator you can afford. A wide laminator will allow you to run narrower products side by side (Figure 1), improve throughput, prevent film waste, and grow into larger, more demanding applications. If space is a concern, some wide-format models feature conservative footprints (Figure 2) and are ideal for tight production areas. Beyond size, familiarizing yourself with the main laminator components and methods of operation is a solid way to find the best unit for your business.
Cold vs. thermal Choosing between thermal and cold laminating units is an important decision. A thermal unit can process both cold laminates (those that adhere to the graphic substrate with a pressure-sensitive adhesive) and thermal laminates (those that feature a heat-activated adhesive), while a cold unit can only apply pressure-sensitive laminating materials. Prices for thermal laminators are typically much higher because of the heating systems and related controls used in those units.
Goetter's experience has been that most graphics shops will need to run both cold and thermal laminates over time. So he stresses, "Buy [a laminator] with a minimum of one heated top roller--even though heat is not required to process pressure-sensitive adhesives, a small amount of heat greatly benefits pressure-sensitives, especially if you are operating in a cold-weather climate." The reason for this, he explains, is because heated rollers can aid in flowing out the adhesives found in cold-laminating materials and accelerate the bonding process.
Construction Open architecture is a must, especially when it comes to larger laminators used in high-volume production environments (Figure 3). Operators need to be able to replace web rolls of la-minating film easily, but also must be able to readily access internal mechanisms, circuitry, and other parts. Chuck Thompson, vice president of marketing product development for the GBC Films Group, says sturdy casters and steel-shaft rollers that won't bend or bow are essential. Hannon adds that use of lightweight, rust-resistant materials (i.e., aluminum), sealed bearings, and color-coded wiring (for easy tracing) makes life easier on laminator owners and operators.
Haan explains that the combination of pneumatic brake and clutch found on some units gives users an effective means of controlling film tension. While he believes mechanical systems still offer the capability of maintaining successful process control, Haan says pneumatics allow the operators to dial in specific film tension levels prior to starting the process. "Improper film-tension control can cause delamination, print curl, or wrinkling," Haan says. "In the business of finishing, these problems will, in many cases, re-quire a rework of the product."
Rollers Rollers are a laminator's heart and soul. They're responsible for bringing the graphic material and laminate into contact with one another, so selecting the most effective type is essential for consistent, high-quality results.
Wide-format laminators, because of their size, are sometimes prone to problems in applying adequate pressure across the entire width of the products that pass through them. Some manufacturers have attempted to remedy this problem by installing crowned rollers, which are slightly wider in diameter in the middle than at the ends. But Goetter says crowned rollers are not an adequate solution. He explains that processing prints through crowned rollers can cause buckling or worse--a ruined print.
Haan agrees, explaining that crowned rollers make contact in the center of the rolls before making contact across the roll face. "You're going to be touching material harder in the center before you drive together the outsides of the material," he says. "That creates wrinkling or boat waking. Until a crowned nip roller is fully deflected, you'll get an uneven footprint at the nip point of the rollers."
Straight rollers are preferable because they facilitate uniform contact, even at very light nip pressures, according to Haan. He credits straight rollers with ensuring even throughput and predictable web handling of the film and media being laminated.
Many manufacturers will tell you that taking care of the nip rollers is a top priority because they come in direct contact with the products you're processing. You should be most concerned about surface flaws, adhesive buildup, or other blemishes on the rollers that could show up in the finished products.
Heat sources and cooling Most thermal laminators rely on a suspended heat source that runs through the nip rollers. The heater's duty cycle involves bringing itself up to operating temperature, heating the surrounding ambient air, and maintaining those temperatures. Contact heat sources are the most effective, according to Haan, because they are actually touching the inside surface of the roller assemblies. "The thermal recovery rate from the act of laminating is faster [with such systems], and they also provide the capability of managing temperature uniformity across the roll face," he says.
Maintaining an even temperature profile across the face of a roller is critical. Goetter explains that in less expensive roller constructions, where a single cal rod heating element is suspended in the center of the roller, the journals, bearings, and all of the steel used toward the end of the rollers act as a heat sink and draw heat out. "If you're processing film on a wide-format laminator, you may see variations as much as 20-30°F in the surface temperature of the roller toward the outside edges," he says. "This means you may have to raise the temperature above what is required for the thermal adhesive in order to get the temperature needed on the outside edges of the roller."
Thermal laminators generally feature a cooling apparatus between the pull rollers, which are responsible for maintaining proper film tension and guiding the laminating process and the laminating nip rollers. The cooling mechanism typically takes the form of chill rollers that pull excessive heat out of film and cool it to a flat state. The chill rollers are not internally cooled but rely on a fan bank or group of blowers to help them dissipate heat.
Controls and adjustability The materials with which a laminator may be compatible are largely determined by its adjustability. The main factors to consider are the range of temperatures, material feeding speeds, and material thicknesses supported by the unit and how these parameters are controlled.
In terms of controls, laminating equipment runs the gamut, from simple analog systems with mechanical switches to advanced, digitally driven systems with touchpad controls and digital readouts. Goetter says he's never been a big advocate of touchpads on machinery because they tend to have a more limited actuation life than mechanical controls. But Thompson sees touchpad-controlled digital systems as a benefit to operators because they can be used to program and store common job settings for easy recall. In the end, the type and number of jobs you plan to run will dictate the type of controller best suited to your needs.
Speed Throughput is always a concern in a graphics shop. It's easy to blame the laminator--the snail in the workflow trail. But Goetter says the bottleneck in production is actually the printer. He believes running laminators at slower speeds gives a higher guaranteed success rate of throughput and gives operators time to focus on more efficient ways to trim prints after they exit the laminator. Running a laminator too fast brings the risk of wrinkling, and high speeds will prevent proper bonding if too little pressure and heat are applied.
Bells and whistles Once you've determined what fundamental controls your system should have, you can begin to think about options and add-ons that might be useful. Holddowns, according to Goetter, are one option that can assist new users in feeding prints into the nip. But he cautions buyers that some machines feature those solutions because of inferior rollers. Haan says static-control devices are also practical because they help eliminate microparticulates that may be invisible to the human eye but become quite obvious once they're sandwiched between a graphic and overlaminating film.
Safety features Protecting operators is a top priority, especially when there's the possibility of burning, crushing, catching, grabbing, and other pitfalls. "Without question, no company should ever skimp on safety," Goetter says. Safety measures come in many flavors, including electric eyes, emergency stops, physical guards, and alarm circuits.
Physical hand guards are essential, according to Hannon, and "must be difficult to defeat, especially given the litigation climate today." He says a guard can actually aid the lamination process because some feature lay-down strips that help keep prints flat. Electronic eyes sound an alarm when an operator comes too close to the nip assembly. Emergency stops (e-stops) are also critical and should be easily accessible on all four sides of a laminator.
Training is, perhaps, the most abstract concept involved with buying and operating a laminator. For some users, an eight-hour course might suffice. But mastering the "art and craftsmanship of laminating," as Haan puts it, is an on- going learning curve. Goetter suggests a two-day training period that covers the overall process of loading and unloading films, explains how films differ from one another, and gives the new operator a chance to become comfortable with processing a print through the machine.
"Training should also include maintenance," Hannon says. "If you're down for two weeks, you're basically out of business on that line. And consistency of procedures is important. Learn how to do bond tests on different media--some things just won't bond."
If you think that laminating isn't something you can just jump into, you're right.
But with a clear idea of how you want to use a laminator and a little research into the available makes and models, you can soon be adding value and life to the graphics you print.
As a graphics provider, you owe it to yourself to check out the latest advances in laminating equipment. Who knows? A laminator may be the next winner you add to your finishing line.
The following are comments about this article submitted by laminator manufacturer General Binding Corp. (GBC).
After reading your recent article entitled, "Wide-Format Laminators to Guard Your Graphics" by Ben Rosenfield, I wanted to point out a few discrepancies that our internal lamination specialists noticed.
First, it would be very difficult to make tension a preset value on a laminator. Variations in the manufacturing of the film, the film's diameter, environment, etc., can cause variations in the amount of tension applied to a film. This will never be a consistent variable where a customer can apply set amount of tension on a particular film.
Second, the statements made are misguiding with concerns to crowned rollers. Crowned rollers do not cause wrinkling or boat waking. Using too little or too much pressure causes these problems. Whether rollers are crowned or not these problems will still happen if the customer is not using to correct amount of downward pressure. For example, crowned roller do touch first in the middle, if I did not apply any pressure to flatten out the area between my rollers, my image would be pulled through the rollers more in the middle then the edges. Thus causing the aforementioned boat waking. But lets turn this around. If I have a set of flat rollers and I apply downward pressure on the rollers to achieve edge seal, I would deflect the rollers in the middle. This would cause the image to pull through the roller more on the edges then in the middle causing a D-wave in the image. Either way the rollers are manufactured, the goal is to achieve an even nip area while still being able to produce enough pressure to process PSA materials and achieve edge seal when encapsulating.
Third, is the heating source. It is true what Mr. Haan says about contact heat systems being more accurate and consistent. They are a coiled heating system. The journal is removed from one end of the roller. The coiled heater is inserted in and the journal is bolted back on. The drawbacks of this system are they are unserviceable. In order to replace a heater (which like a light bulb can burn out fairly easily), the entire roller would need to be removed, the journal would need to be unbolted (can be very difficult after being heated and cooled several times), and the heater pull out and replaced. Being that the rollers are the life blood of a laminator, I would not want to remove the roller from the machine for what should be a simple heater replacement. Like I said, admittedly this is a very accurate heating system many times within 5 degrees across the surface of the roller. Lamination does not require a heat tolerance to be that tight. Generally, being within 15 degrees is all that is needed. Our heaters are designed to provide accurate heat across the face of the roller, yet still provide serviceability to the system. The edges will see variations due to the loss of heat out the journals. If a heater is engineered properly, it is designed to compensate for this loss of heat.

Another prize for ‘Shark’s Fin’!
Hi Fuchsia, the link is broken.
Great to have this article to read – especially as I’ve only just finished ‘Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper’ and was suffering withdrawal. I didn’t want the book to end!
It was particularly interesting to me to read about your experiences in the early 90s as I had a wonderful – albeit challenging! – time in 1993, travelling through the south of China and into Tibet via Chengdu. In addition, my husband has Fujian heritage. Now I realise I’ve had some dishes (in Singapore) that originate from this region. I will be watching my mother-in-laws cooking even more closely from now on!
I often wonder why people feel so guilty about haut cuisine. If you have the money to spend on that kind of food, why is it wrong? Of course, the damage involved in getting and preparing that food needs to be taken into consideration. If one isn’t taking the food out of another’s mouth nor causing damage to environment or societies, then where is the harm? I myself enjoy the simple foods that the world has to offer. A balanced meal of things that people have been discovering and working on for centuries. The lure of tiny bits of food on huge plates escapes me. To each his own.

In this article, we take a look at some of the major differences between UK and Australian university marketing departments. From increased budgets and use of market research, to the importance of attracting international students, by examining these differences we’ve gleaned some interesting lessons from down under. We’ve also taken a look at some of the best higher education campaigns to come out of the country. Ready to be inspired?
(And envious – the average November temperature is 20°C).
To find out more about the first two main differences, we spoke with Tania Rhodes-Taylor, Vice-Principal (External Relations) at The University of Sydney. Formerly Director of Marketing and Communications at Queen Mary University of London, Tania has experience of both UK and Australian university marketing departments.
Tania started off by highlighting that she hasn’t noticed a huge difference between UK and Australian marketing teams. “In both countries the teams are made up of specialists and leaders in their fields with a passion for promoting the work of their universities. Marketing is a very transferable skill and most marketeers could find a role in any sector, but those who choose to work in universities do it because they are inspired by the research we undertake and the students we teach. It sounds idealistic, but they really want to make a positive contribution and supporting our academic colleagues in communicating about their work and the impact of that is a tangible way of doing that,” she says.
In 2016 it was reported that Australian universities spent AU$300 million on campaigns, slogans and sponsorship in a bid to compete effectively for students, staff and research partners. The spending was $30m more, a rise of 11%, than in 2015. Some institutes were reported to have allocated in excess of AU$10 million per annum on advertising and promotions.
Action: UK university marketing departments might not be able to magic more money out of thin air, but they could make the case for an increased budget where relevant. As discussed later on in the article, this is particularly important when it comes to attracting international students who may be unfamiliar with most institutes and require marketing efforts to learn more. Justifying a bigger budget may be a long game, in which university marketing departments start comprehensively collating data which proves the success of their efforts.
Tania says this attitude also extends towards market research too. “Whilst many UK universities have started to use market research much more effectively in recent years, the use of it in Australia is much more embedded. It’s pretty unusual to find an Australian university that isn’t systematically tracking its reputation with key audiences or using marketing research to inform the development of new offerings or measure the implementation and impact of our strategies,” she says.
Action: Like requesting a budget increase, showing the need for a more widespread use of market research may be a long game. Nevertheless, UK marketing departments could start to highlight key areas where they would benefit from delving deeper. Once the results from this have been proven, it will assist in making the case for further market research in the future.
Education is now Australia’s third largest export sector and the country’s predominant service export overall. The economic impact of international education rose by 22% in 2017 to reach AUS$32.2 billion. The upshot? International student recruitment is taken very seriously in Australia. And as such, it’s on track to overtake the UK as the world’s second biggest destination for international students, after the United States. While just three years ago the UK was attracting some 130,000 more overseas students than Australia, Australia has now caught up and is set to overtake.
Following the news of Australia’s rapidly expanding international student numbers, The British Council have said this demonstrated that the UK needs to “look again” at its policies towards overseas students. In terms of post-Brexit strategy, The Times Higher Education reported that the UK has also been urged to learn from Australia’s experience of treating higher education as an export industry and including it in international trade agreements.
And it appears the UK public are largely behind international students too. Recent research found that 73% wanted international student numbers maintained or increased. The survey also found that 64% think international students have positively impacted the local economy and 61% believe they offer valuable social and cultural impact.
Action: We’ve written before about the benefits of international students. But while UK universities and the public support international students studying in the UK – and that should be highlighted in marketing campaigns – ultimately, government policy would also need to reflect this. Unfortunately, Brexit has muddied the waters at present. In an advice document for students on post-Brexit rules and entitlements, the UK Council for International Student Affairs are keen to point out that, while ‘significant changes seem inevitable’, they say ‘this advice and guidance represents our best current interpretation and understanding of government announcements and intentions’. The best action here may be to wait and see what the fallout from Brexit is.
Australia is home to an impressive 35 top universities, according to Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings 2019, with six of them featuring in the prestigious top 100 rankings. And while this is certainly a focus of marketing them, it’s not the sole focus. According to the BBC, as well as showcasing the country as an English-speaking location with excellent universities, Australian universities are also keen to highlight other attractive features such as the climate and welcoming culture toward overseas students. It’s an approach that appears to be working, with Australia snagging two spots in this year’s Best Student Cities, with Melbourne scoring 3rd followed by Sydney in 9th position (though London did scoop 1st place).
A few years ago, the Vice-Chancellor of Monash University, Margaret Gardner, urged Australia higher education to ‘seize the opportunity’ presented by Brexit and Trump. It proved a prudent move; The International Student Survey which is based on 67,000 prospective applicants, found that 39% of EU students thought that Brexit made them less interested in studying in the UK. Why? They felt it would make UK more expensive and ‘less welcoming’ to EU students. And last year’s International Student Survey ranked Australia as the safest and most welcoming country for international students. The UK came 4th, behind the United States.
Action: While waiting for the outcome of Brexit, campaigns centred on the UK – and its various cities and towns – as a destination could prove beneficial. We have a lot to be proud of on this island, from our rich historical heritage to awe-inspiring natural sights. UK universities may also benefit from some ‘damage control’ campaigns to help reassert the country as a welcoming destination for overseas students.
Curious to see what the Australian approach looks like in practice? Here are three of our favourite campaigns from Australian universities.
The Leadership for Good Starts Here campaign positions The University of Sydney as the perfect launching pad for students who want to make a difference in the world. Their vision is cemented with an inspiring array of alumni and current students who have done just that. Featuring alumni as diverse as the pioneer of modern heart transplantation, Victor Chang, to women’s rights activist and journalist, Anne Summers, it’s easy to see the appeal of this effective and rousing campaign.
The campaign ran as street posters, cross tracks and bus placements over the city, as well as a short film promoted through social media and a dedicated webpage that tells each story in more detail. This clever campaign managers to highlight the real-world difference made by The University of Sydney alumni and in doing so, it creates a meaningful connection between past and future students.
This bright and bold campaign from Deakin University is attention-grabbing in all the right ways. Shrugging off the widespread use of appropriate red and navy, this colourful campaign is inspired by the Light and Space movement of the 1960s. This unexpected approach mirrors the universities dedication to innovative thinking and open-mindedness.
The ‘Think Young’ slogan highlights the importance of openness and enthusiasm for exploring the new. This allows the university to showcase impressive members of the university who embody this vision, thus giving the campaign real authenticity. When it launched several years ago, this memorable campaign was executed on television, digital video, outdoors and on social media and content channels.
This campaign succinctly manages to tell a full narrative of individual graduates – from their childhood through to their experience at university and beyond – in just 90 seconds. While there are several videos in the campaign, the story of Deng Adut captured the hearts of viewers and it has since received 2.8 million views. It tells the tale of a child soldier in Sudan who arrived as a refugee in Australia before working his way up to becoming a prominent human rights lawyer.
So widespread was this campaign, it even inspired spoofs! While using alumni to bolster marketing efforts is not a new concept, this is a very fresh approach. Instead of focusing entirely on the end result, The University of Western Sydney weaves individual stories into a universally digestible narrative about ambition and overcoming the odds.
There is no denying that Australian university marketing departments enjoy some advantages over their UK counterparts. The budgets are, in many cases, much larger and there appears to be a concrete, prevalent understanding and respect for their efforts towards pushing the university forward. Not only is this reflected in the budgets, but also in terms of tools such as more dedicated use of market research, which allows them to dig deeper and deliver more targeted campaigns. When it comes to these first two issues, UK marketing departments might not be able to immediately increase their budget, but they could certainly make the case for it, which could have an impact down the line. This may include better management of tracking the success of their marketing efforts, as this data can then be used to justify further investment.
Education is now Australia’s third largest export sector, so it makes sense to ensure resources are allocated towards attracting international students as well as domestic. Partly this is achieved through focusing not just on academic and research excellence, but also the culture, climate and welcoming attitude. No doubt this encourages international students who may be otherwise unfamiliar with the country. Here in the UK, we’re in the middle of Brexit uncertainty and there are no clear answers. While efforts should be put into attracting international students, and promoting the country as a destination, it may be wise to wait and see what the impact of Brexit is and how it will affect international students.

I love watching God change lives! As a music education student at the University of New Hampshire, God used the ministry of Cru to change my life. By the time I graduated in 1978, I knew God was calling me to help change other people's lives by becoming a Cru staff member.
I performed with evangelistic music groups for 13 years and saw God use our concerts to change thousands of lives all around the world. I moved into a training role in Indianapolis in 1992 so I could use my experience to help others learn to communicate the message of Christ in a similar way.
connect more effectively with their audience.
Your gift will help me plan training conferences, coach communicators, produce online training videos, and much more. Will you join me in equipping God's messengers to reach the world?

Library Of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 36 - AnythingNovel.com Read online any english novel around the world.
There are many occupations in this world and gourmet is one of them. Gourmets are often born sensitive to taste, and their ability to discern flavors far exceeds ordinary humans.
Their cultivation may not necessarily be high, but there are some hotels or taverns that would hire them at high salaries so as to ascertain the taste and effects of their ingredients.
However, this occupation is one of the least esteemed one and can only be considered one of the Lower Nine Paths.
There are more than several thousands of occupations in the world. To better classify them, they are split into the Upper Nine Paths, Middle Nine Paths and Lower Nine Paths.
Apothecary, blacksmith, formation master and similar jobs which brings about benefits to battle techniques and one's cultivation are considered as the conventional Upper Nine Paths. On the other hand, gourmet could only be considered as an unorthodox occupation, thus being classified under the Lower Nine Paths.
Going by Shen Bi Ru's opinion, given how the young man is capable of pointing out the flaws in those dishes and wine, he had to be a gourmet.
’’You can take it so!’’ Zhang Xuan doesn't explain.
The Library of Heaven's Path does more than reflecting one's cultivation. As long as he has tried a dish, its flaws would be reflected in the library. With this, it is a simple task for him to take care of a small manager Wu.
Seeing the other party admit to it, Shen Bi Ru thanks him.
If it wasn't for this young man's ability to discern delicacies, it would be truly embarrassing for her today.
’’It's nothing!’’ Zhang Xuan waves his hand.
’’You resolved the problem just a moment ago, so it can't be considered as my treat. I'll treat you again next time!’’ Shen Bi Ru says.
Eating with a beauty may be an enjoyable event, but he knows himself the best. Given his reputation, the other party might simply be speaking out of politeness despite being repulsed by the idea!
Not only so, he would have to suffer from the envy of others. If so, he would have to come up with ideas to deal with her pursuers. However, there are still many things that he needs to do at the moment and he doesn't have the leisure for such matters.
Just when she thought that Zhang Xuan could speak normally, she hears those words and feels a blockade in her chest again as the urge to go berserk surges through her.
Many people had asked her out to eat, but she rejected them all. Yet, when she takes the initiative to invite him, she feels as though she is begging a stubborn elderly.
’’Alright, since we have already eaten, if there's nothing else, I'll be making a move first. I still have many things to attend to!’’ Oblivious to her rage, he waves and prepares to take his leave.
Fighters, upon cultivating to a certain realm, are able to survive without ingesting food, so delicacies do not have much use. Even if he is able to profit out of the occupation for now, it still isn't a proper path a fighter should be treading on.
After interacting with him, she could tell that Zhang Xuan isn't as useless as the rumors make him out to be. It could be possible that he had devoted his efforts on studying food, that's why his Teacher Qualification Examination results ended up horrendous.
Coming upon such thoughts, despite her overwhelming anger, she couldn't resist advising him.
’’Alright!’’ Knowing that she said those words out of goodwill, Zhang Xuan nods his head. Just as he is about to leave, rapid footsteps sound out from his back.
Following which, a resentful voice echoes in the surroundings. Two men and one beast blocks his path.
They are Shang Bin and Cao Xiong.
At this moment, the two of them have a giant footprint imprinted on their face, the outlines of it clear to see. Half of their face are swollen red and blood trickles down by edges of their mouth. Not a single hint of their previous dashing and carefree look remain.
This is especially so for Shang Bin. His injuries from the morning has yet to recover and yet, he suffered another violent kick. At this instant, his mouth is crooked to the side and his lips look like two giant sausages, thus pulling him further away from the concept of handsomeness.
He had planned everything out perfectly so as to look cool in front of his goddess. Who knew that not only would he fail, he even got beaten up to such a state and his connection with Hongtian Pavilion was severed as a result. If things go wrong, he might even be chastised by his grandfather. How could he take this humiliation lying?
The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets. Thus, he charges up directly towards Zhang Xuan!
’’Shang Bin, what do you intend to do?’’ Shen Bi Ru didn't expect him come in pursuit to cause trouble. She steps in front of Zhang Xuan to shield him from Shang Bin.
It is one thing if he doesn't see her, but when he sees her shielding the infamous trash of the academy, Shang Bin is further provoked as his eyes slant to the sides and his mouth crooks further from the overwhelming rage.
Shang Bin almost vomits blood.
As long as it is a man, if someone insults him by saying that he is gutless and hides behind the protection of a woman, won't they feel embarrassed and humiliated such that they would rush forward to retaliate out of indignation?
Why does common sense not apply to this fellow?
How can he speak of something that should have been incomparably shameful so naturally and righteously?
****, how can one be so thick-skinned?
As a transcender, what has he never seen before. Thick-skinned?
What a joke. In his previous life, in the information era... Have you seen anyone who isn't shameless?
He can't be bothered to deal with a problem which someone had took the initiative to resolve for him.
This isn't fear. Rather, it isn't a good time for him to be revealing his level of cultivation. On top of that, the Shang Bin's grandfather is an elder. If he were to be forced to a corner, Zhang Xuan would have to waste precious time dealing with the problems that will ensue. Since someone is shielding him, he is also happy to be spared the effort.
Seeing how shameless the young man is, Shen Bi Ru is also at a loss for words.
If this fellow could be provoked, even sows would be able to climb trees!
As a tier 6 savage beast that has been tamed by a human, the Sky Shattering Lion is capable of comprehending human words.
As his grandfather's pet, as long as Shang Bin is kept out of harm's way, it couldn't be bothered with his orders. In order to get it to make a move, he promised all kinds of benefits to him in an instant.
Indeed, hearing his promises, the eyes of the Sky Shattering Lion light up.
Savage beasts who have reached Pixue realm, unlike humans, are unable use the flow of zhenqi to break open their acupoints. They can only rely on the growth of their body to gradually pull up their strength. If it were to consume the Acupoint Soothing Pill at this moment, with its effects, its strength would surely soar significantly!
Acupoint Soothing Pill is a pill made specially for Fighter 6-dan experts. It possesses the effect of soothing one's acupoints, thus allowing one to progress further in Pixue realm.
At this moment, Shang Bin's strength has already reached Fighter 5-dan Dingli pinnacle, just a step off from Pixue. Thus, Elder Shang Chen spent a huge sum to obtain this medicine so as to give him a boost.
Initially, Shang Bin was reluctant to take it out. However, upon recalling how he was humiliated by a trash, he finds himself unable to suppress his emotions!
If he doesn't get rid of Zhang Xuan today, he fears that he would be unable to uphold his dignity in the academy any more.
This is especially so for the goddess before him, she probably wouldn't even spare him a gaze!
How can he tolerate such a situation!
She didn't expect Shang Bin to be so insane to order the Sky Shattering Lion to make a move. Shen Bi Ru's eyes narrow. She wants to rush forward to protect Zhang Xuan, but is blocked by Shang Bin instead. Panicking, she bellows at him.
In the compounds, teachers are forbidden from killing one another. To do so is an infringement of a school rules, as well as a severe crime.
Shen Bi Ru feels her heart turning cold.
If he were to really use that as a front, with Elder Shang Chen's interference within the matter, he might really get away with it! In fact, it is possible for him to escape punishment completely!
Zhang Xuan could very well die here!
After all, it is a tier 6 savage beast. Ordinary Pixue realm experts aren't even its match. How can one who is the last in the Teacher Qualification Examination withstand it?
Just when she is still in a fluster, the Sky Shattering Lion roars and dashes over. Before coming into contact with it, its powerful aura creates a powerful gale that forces the surrounding grass and tree leaves to bow down to it.
This is a real terminology used to classify jobs in ancient China.
To put it simply, there are Upper Nine Paths, Middle Nine Paths and Lower Nine Paths in ancient China and each of these paths refer to an occupation.
Similarly, the Middle Nine Paths and Lower Nine Paths have their own set of occupations as well.
The Three Teachings refer to Confucianism, Daoism (or Taoism) and Buddhism.
Do note that there are different interpretations/versions to the Nine Paths and most of them list Buddha as the first one.

Annecy is nestled above the Regional Natural Park of the Bauges Massif, north west of the lake where it takes its name. A beautiful and historic city in the region of Haute-Savoie, it serves as the perfect destination for a road trip.
The city is bursting with tangible history and is regarded as one of France’s most enchanting towns.
The exterior of the historic homes, restaurants, bakeries and boutiques in Annecy all boast the unmistakeably French shades of peach and rose. In fact, it is Annecy’s colour and vibrancy that first hits you as you arrive. The ancient city is set around a network of peaceful canals, making a coffee stop at one of the many quaint cafés a very tranquil experience. And it’s thanks to these canals that Annecy has earned its reputation as an 'Alpine Venice'.

One truly unmissable feature Annecy has to offer is its Vieille Ville, which translates to ‘old town’. Infused with buckets of antique charm, this section of the city is the best place to wander if you find picturesque cobbled streets, serene canals and pastel-coloured architecture pleasing to the eye. The old town is also where you’ll find Annecy’s most famous structure, the Palais de l'Ile. An ancient prison that now acts as a museum and a unique spot to take a holiday snap!
Be sure to visit Vieille Ville on a market day to get the full rustic and continental experience. Tuesdays are the day best suited for lovers of fresh farm produce such as cheese and wine, while Fridays and Sunday mornings boast a broad variety of local goods. However, if you’re more interested in trinkets, antiques and crafty bits and pieces, the markets (usually) held on the last Saturday of the month are unmissable.
Market days in Annecy’s old town (especially the monthly antique market), are popular with residents of Geneva and vacationers on holiday in other, nearby Alpine resorts, which helps to provide a great atmosphere when flitting through the stalls.

As well as the beautiful buildings and soothing canals, visitors flock to visit this delightful slice of French heaven and step inside the walls of the ornate, Château d’Annecy. The castle is, at first glance, an elegant marriage of medieval defensive and decorative architectural styles and was the residence of the counts of Geneva during the 13th and 14th centuries.
During WWII it was used as a military barracks and even a hiding place for French Resistance fighters. Later, in the 1950s it was officially classified as an historical monument and today it serves as a thrilling museum, filled with regional art such as medieval sculptures, Savoyard furniture, Alpine landscape paintings, and other works of contemporary art. A visit to the castle also grants breath-taking panoramic views from the rooftops of the Vieille Ville to The Bauges massif Regional Nature Park.

Lake Annecy is regarded as Europe’s cleanest lake and is a huge draw for tourists. Locals will tell you that it earned its reputation of cleanliness because of strict environmental regulations introduced during the 1960s. The stunning lake is 27.6km squared in size, making it the third biggest body of water in France. Experts believe the lake to have formed around 18,000 years ago when the large alpine glaciers melted. The small mountain rivers of Ire, Eau morte, Laudon, Bornette and Biolon, all feed the lake whilst it slowly flows into the Thiou River that cuts through the city centre.
Visitors mainly venture to the lake because of its superb swimming conditions. The water is clear and can be enjoyed via the many beaches that surround it, each as clean as the lake itself. The water temperature is perfect during the summer months, creating plenty of opportunity to try your hand at the numerous water sports on hand, such as powerboats and pedalboats that can be rented by the half-hour. Boat excursions are also very popular for those who like to remain dry, ranging from lunch cruises to short round-trip cruises. More information can be found on the lake’s official website.

It’s the summer months that are indeed the most popular with visitors, with July typically being the busiest month. If you don’t mind sharing the sunshine with a crowd though, a day of wandering through the old town before taking a plunge in the lake really is a summertime dream. The region is also home to plenty of hotels, many with their own pools, meaning a swimming costume should definitely be on your packing list!
However, Annecy is much more than just a sun-seekers city, with tourists also flocking during the later summer months and even throughout Autumn. The lake itself is warmed by the sun over the hottest months and maintains enough heat to provide a pleasant swimming temperature right up until the end of September. Some visitors prefer visiting during this period, as well as in October as the air is noted as being freer of clouds, providing better views of the surrounding mountains.

Our advice when travelling is to stop at the towns and villages of Arras, Troyes to the historical city of Dijon along the way. Be sure to book your next road trip with us in advance to take advantage of the best possible fares!

My mother has recently developed white patches on her skin that do not tan or burn in the sun. What causes this? Is it a condition that should be brought to the attention of a doctor?
This sounds like a condition called vitligo. The majority of cases occur for no known reason in otherwise healthy people. In a small minority of cases it can occur in association with other conditions such as hypothyroidism, pernicious anaemia and alopecia. The blanching of the skin is due to the disappearance of the melanocytes or pigment cells from the skin. It is sometimes possible to re-pigment the skin but unfortunately such treatment is successful in only a minority of cases. For most people it is a cosmetic defect with no health implications. Your mother should see her GP to have the diagnosis confirmed.

In many dynamical problems, the motion consists of a rapid oscillation superimposed on a slow secular drift. For such problems, the most efficient approach is to describe the evolution in terms of the average values of the dynamical variables. The method outlined below is adapted from a classic paper by Morozov and Solov'ev (Morozov and Solev'ev 1966; Hazeltine and Waelbroeck 2004).
Here, the small parameter characterizes the separation between the short oscillation period and the timescale for the slow secular evolution of the ``position'' .
and reserve Equation (2.9) for substitution into the final result. The indeterminacy introduced by increasing the number of variables is lifted by the requirement of periodicity in . All of the secular drifts are thereby attributed to the variable , while the oscillations are described entirely by the variable .
where denotes the integral over a full period in .
into the equation of motion, Equation (2.10), and solving order by order in .

The G.R.E.E.N. values represent a shared ethos for all students, staff, parents and Governors. These values (Growth, Resilience, Energy, Empathy and Newness) are the foundation of what we believe as a school and are here to support each member of our school community to thrive in all aspects of life. Our G.R.E.E.N. values work intrinsically with our school motto ‘Neglect not the gift that is in thee’ and give all members of the school community the tools to achieve their best. In an ever changing world, both in education and beyond, students should leave our school with the highest possible academic grades as well as the transferable skills they need to achieve success in their chosen pathway. Staff should feel that they too have the opportunities to explore new ideas and to develop their own practice for their own professional success.
The value GROWTH is based on the work by Carol Dweck on growth mindset. Having a growth mindset encourages the belief that we can all improve at whatever we put our minds to with practice and perseverance. It encourages learning, effort and stickability. It also promotes the importance of reflection and criticism as tools to move us forward.
The value RESILIENCE represents the notion that, on any learning journey, there will be obstacles. With RESILIENCE and perseverance, these obstacles can be overcome and the final goal more rewarding. The key is not to be fearful of these obstacles and to accept that mistakes and challenges are an important part of learning. The learning line is an effective symbol for resilience and for assessment for learning.
The value ENERGY is the centre of our vision. It encourages focus and enthusiasm from everyone. This ENERGY could be represented in the attitude of students as well as in staff morale, parent and governor involvement. It promotes positivity and supports all of the other G.R.E.E.N. values.
The value EMPATHY promotes community spirit in many dimensions. It signifies self-awareness as well as respect for each other despite our differences. In addition to this, it illustrates that none of us are alone on our learning journey and that, through collaboration, success can be greater.
The value NEWNESS is vital in an ever changing world. This encourages us to be open to new ideas, techniques, technologies and challenges. It encourages us all to step out of our comfort zones as this is where the deepest learning and the greatest success can be achieved.

This leaves the US with a single GSM provider.
Hmm, I was trying to avoid T-Mobile as I had such bad feelings from the old Telekom days back in Germany. I currently use AT&T - maybe I have to switch now.

Unlike traditional protective products, modular protective gear (as the name suggests) is designed for optimal customizability, flexibility and ease of instillation. Instead of delivering a pre-figured solution that can't be easily moved or retro-fit to a particular position, modular protective solutions allow you to tailor your protective products to the exact needs and dimensions of your facility.
Increased Adaptability also means that you don't have to keep your facility's layout static in order to maintain high safety and maintenance standards. If you can assemble and disassemble protective gear, it's feasible to rework the layout of your facility as you see fit.
Distribution centers are often rearranged to accommodate changes in workflow; though docking doors remain stationary, it's possible to move racking and reassign facility assets to different jobs in order to accommodate ebbs and flows in product demand. For example, some products require more manpower and facility space during the holiday season than they do at other periods of the year due to a spike in demand. Maintaining warehouse flexibility is thus vital to ensuring optimal efficiency and productivity — but is only possible if barriers can be easily moved and repurposed.
Modular Protective gear is designed to be taken off the shelf and self-installed onsite. That means you don't have to rely on offsite fabricators to create and install pre-built solutions and can do so in a way that best suits your schedule and workflow requirements — with the least possible amount of interruption. What's more, modular systems can be updated and fixed without scrapping the entire product (and instead switching out only the damaged component).
Being proactive with your maintenance efforts has substantial financial benefits in the longterm. New modular protective products are designed to better protect people, products and equipment and have greater longevity (meaning less frequent repairs and replacements). Due to advances in protective product design and the incorporation of more impact-absorbing materials like ductile iron, fortified plastics and more, modular protective gear doesn't have to be heavy to be effective. That means you can protect your assets and keep them functioning like-new with fewer production interruptions. Well-maintained machines also produce more quality and consistent results — so your finished product won't suffer frequent setbacks.
The adaptability and movability of modular protective products ensures that your employees will always have an ample amount of space and adequate protection in place, even when production changes dictate a change in facility layout. Furthermore, streamlining workflow in a logical way increases productivity and establishes a clear and replicable order of operations.

This is the first in a series of posts that will go over the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK. This first post will discuss how to get started and create an app that has the ArcGIS Runtime Map. This first step is to download the SDK. The SDK is currently in beta so you will need to sign up for the beta program. It’s important to note that you will not be able to get the SDK from nuget.
Esri packages their installers a little differently than you might be used it. The exe that you download is a zip of the actual installer. Run the ArcGIS_Runtime_SDK_for_DotNet_1022_536.exe (as of writing this the file is missing the exe extension, so you’ll need to add it) and you will be prompted for a location to unpackage the installer.
Give it a location, once it completes it will run the actual Setup.exe.
We’ll be building a Windows Store app with the SDK so you’ll need Visual Studio 2013. The SDK does not support Windows 8 apps, only Windows 8.1 apps. For Windows Phone and WPF you can use Visual Studio 2012. Open up Visual Studio and create a new Windows Store project.
The core of the ArcGIS Runtime is built with C++. Because of this, you’ll need to change the platform of the application from Any CPU. Any CPU is a .NET only thing, so we’ll need to specify either x86, x64 or ARM. To change the platform right click on the solution and select Configuration Manager. You may also want to add the platform target dropdown to a toolbar..
Make sure that debug and release are set to something other than Any CPU. If you like using the designer, you need to pick x86. When you ship your app, you’ll package it up with x86, x64 and ARMso it will work on any Windows 8.1 device.
Next add a reference to the new ArcGIS Runtime assembly. The assembly is under the Windows –> Extensions group.
Open the XAML of your MainPage. For this example we’ll create a fully emersive mapping application. We’ll need to add two namespaces to our xaml.
The esri namespace is where the controls live. This is where we will find the new MapView control. In the past, we have worked with Map control. Now the Map is a property of the MapView. This does seem odd as they have only pulled out the InitialExtent property and the Layers property. The rest of the map functionality still resides on the MapView.
The layers namespace is where we will find the different types of layers we can to the map. The next post will have more information on the different layers. For this post we’ll use the ArcGISTilesMapServiceLayer using Esri’s free tiled map services.
With the name spaces defined, add the following XAML your page.
Run the application and you’ll have a map app! Pan, zoom around. Find your home, have fun!
As you can see it is pretty simple to get started with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK. In the next post I’ll cover the different layers in the SDK.
You can download this solution that also contains a Windows Phone 8 app as well!
Last Sunday (March 9) Esri announced the public beta release of their mapping SDK for .NET. This new SDK covers Windows Store, Windows Phone, and WPF. Can you believe it? All three platforms, and all using the same API. This is huge news if you develop mapping applications. Personally I find it painful that in Windows Phone 7 you would use the Bing Maps (Silverlight) SDK. In Windows Phone 8 you were encouraged to use the new Nokia Maps SDK, while on Windows Store you had the Bing Maps SDK, but it was a different SDK than the Windows Phone 7 one. So that’s three different SDKs to use. I have no idea who thought this was a sane idea.
Esri has been working hard on this new SDK. During the Devsummit last year (2014), Esri announced the beta of a new SDK that would target Windows Store. At that time, they already had a Windows Phone SDK and a WPF SDK. Both were very similar with a few extras on the WPF side. While working on this new beta for Windows Store, they decided it would be much better to have a new SDK that targeted Phone, Store, and WPF. So for the past year that’s what they have been doing.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be blogging about how you can create mapping apps that use this new SDK. Some of these blogs will have a heavy focus on the GIS person, while others will be targeted to everyday app builders who want a better experience building map apps. These blogs will focus on Windows Store, but can be applied to Windows Phone and WPF as well.
I have seen a lot of apps recently in which the developers think about the theme of their app. They have nice colors, either in text, or background or both.
Sidebar: I recently read in an MSDN blog that “Backgrounds are discouraged. They are allowed for brand reasons and to support contrast. Instead, use any accent colors on the text foreground”. I personally like when apps do this rather than just the plain white or black text/background offered by default. This makes the app stand out from the rest. Heck, even Microsoft has violated this rule with their bing apps. I have a dark theme for my phone, yet the bing apps seem to favor a white background.
One area I notice where people are not applying their theme is in the system tray. They spend a lot of time and effort theming their pages, yet neglect this area. This is actually not surprising as the system tray is easy to overlook when creating your apps. It is placed in by default, it’s very small (32 pixels), and when using the emulator it’s hard to distinguish the tray from the emulator. Forgetting to theme this part of your app results in the following.
Notice the black bar at the top?
How can you fix this? There are a couple ways to add your theme to the system tray.
The simplest way to extend your theme into the system tray is to change the BackgroundColor.
Let’s take a look at what happens to your app style when changing the color.
Notice anything off? Let me zoom in a little.
Notice the black line between the tray and the page content? This happens if you set the background through the PhoneApplicationFrame, or through the page content. If you are setting the background from the frame there is no way to remove the black line. If you set the background color from the page content, then you can remove the black line by shifting your page content up by one pixel.
Unfortunately this means that you have to set the background for every page, rather than once in the frame.
A second option is to change the Opacity of the SystemTray. Opacity behaves very differently for the phone shell controls (eg: SystemTray, ApplicationBar) than it does for XAML controls. In XAML, opacity defines if an item should have some transparency (ie: Change the alpha channel). In Shell controls, opacity also defines the transparency but it is quite different. Setting a value less than one does not cause the content of the tray to become opaque. Instead it changes opacity of the background color.
Changing the opacity also allows controls to move into the space of the tray. Think of opacity on shell items like a grid with two rows.
When opacity is set to “1” (the default), the tray and the page content fill only one row each.
When opacity is less than one, the page content is allowed to be in both rows.
This causes your entire page to shift up! Shifting your content up means that your page is not quite aligned anymore.
To fix this, we’ll need to take into account whether the background for the page was set through the PhoneApplicationFrame, or through the page content. With either approach, we will add a top margin of 32. Which approach is used determines where we place the margin.
If you set the background of the PhoneApplicationFrame, you can safely add a margin to the first child of your pages. The background of the frame will fill the entire phone screen while your page content is shifted down slightly.
If you set the background of your page, you will want to add another child control to your LayoutRoot grid.
If your pages have a Panorama with a background set you’ll want to modify the style to ensure that title does overlap the tray. The following image is using the default Panorama App template. The only change was to set visible to true, and opacity to 0.
The app has the exact same look without needing to add any margins. This gives the user the benefit of the system tray, without taking space from your app!
Using this approach how do you have a different color for the tray area than you do for the page content? You can accomplishing this by placing grid inside your page that has the background set. With this approach, you’ll need to take into account the margin.
So which approach do I recommend? Changing the BackgroundColor or the Opacity of the tray? Sorry, but going to answer “it depends”. It depends on how you want your page transitions to function, It depends on whether you want a different color for your tray than for your pages. Pick the solution that works best for you. For either solution I highly recommend setting the background of the PhoneApplicationFrame rather than the background of your page content. Setting the background of the frame allows page transitions to flow without showing the phone background (white or black) between pages.
I do recommend that you show the system tray, especially if your app uses an internet connection. If your app is loading slow, users will wonder if they have a good connection. They will want to tap the tray to see if they have a good cell signal or are connected to WiFi. If you hide the tray, the user has no idea if they are connected without exiting your app. You can always shift up your content closer to the tray in order to show more content. You can also place your app title in the system tray.
NOTE: All of this also applies to the ApplicationBar!

Leading publication Bio-Based World News published an article on ButaNexT. Below is a reproduction of the original article written by Luke Upton.
"We have shown that bio-butanol would be a valuable addition to the renewable fuel options for Europe..."
Writing, reading and discussing the bio-economy, it is sometimes easy to forget that innovations in this sector aren’t all from the 21st century. As early as 1826 ethanol (a chemical compound with multiple uses, including as a clean-burning fuel source) was used to power an engine, a generation later, Louis Pasteur first observed butanol (an alcohol produced from petrochemical or biological sources) as a product of fermentation. Fast forward to 1916 and ABE fermentation is first used to produce acetone, butanol, and ethanol from carbohydrates such as starch and glucose. This was developed during World War I, as acetone was used to produce cordite, a substance essential for the British war industry. These military demands led to mass production of ABE and during this period we also saw the development of biobutanol, with it being produced from plant based rather than from fossil based sources.
Until now that is. The ButaNexT (‘Next Generation Bio-butanol’) project aims to overcome these technical and economic constraints to the use of bio-butanol both as a commodity chemical and advanced biofuel. The project began in 2015, with a consortium that brought together the leading experts in Europe to further optimise the value chain for biobutanol. Together they have developed and demonstrated, at pilot scale, a more cost-competitive, efficient and environmentally friendly process to convert sustainable renewable feedstocks into biobutanol. Their work has been validated by a full environmental, resource, techno-economic and social impact assessment of the entire chain.
UK based Green Biologics are the project co-ordinator and experts in fermentation (microorganism and technology development) and butanol commercialization.
FLEXIBLE BIOMASS CONVERSION: Tecnicas Reunidas, together with CENER, have developed a new two-step pre-treatment process which is able to convert different lignocellulosic biomass and wastes in such a way that provides higher yields in subsequent stages. Crucially, the new milling unit significantly reduces the biomass particle size - to less than half a millimetre. This allows for milder conditions in the subsequent thermochemical treatment, and an improved conversion rate during the hydrolysis stage. It is expected that both capital and operating costs can be reduced – the unit reduces the energy consumption up to 25% compared to the conventional technologies studied.
INTEGRATION AND UPSCALING: The innovations were combined at a pilot plant, installed at the Second Generation Biofuels Centre operated by CENER - Spain’s National Renewable Energy Centre - in Navarra, Spain.
Dr. Holly Smith, Head of Fermentation, Green Biologics tells us more about the improvements they have made to the fermentation process; “We have developed strains with increased tolerance to butanol and shown that when these strains were grown in the presence of higher solvent concentrations they maintained a 25% higher rate of sugar usage than the original strain. We also developed strains with increased tolerance to feedstock inhibitors and shown that these strains have up to 40% higher rate of solvent production. We have shown that it is possible to use second generation feedstocks with these microbes."
The ButaNexT project is a fantastic example of how the bio-economy can bring together international expertise to overcome its challenges. For generations the potential of bio-butanol has not been able to be fully realised but now this consortium has shown the path to how an advanced biofuel business can be built from sustainable feedstock. I think we'll be covering bio-butanol on our pages a lot more in the coming years!
The ButaNexT consortium consists of Green Biologics, CENER - National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain, C-Tech Innovation, E4tech, Greenovate! Europe, MetGen, Tecnicas Reunidas, Universidad De Castilla La Mancha, VITO - Flemish Institute for Technological Research and Zabala Innovation Consulting. The project received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement n° 640462.

Science brims with colorful personalities, but the most important thing about a scientific result is not the scientist who found it, but the result itself. Because that result is universal. In a sense, that result already exists. It is only found by the scientist. For me, this impersonal, disembodied character of science is both its great strength and its great weakness.
I couldn’t help comparing the situation to my other passion, the arts. In the arts, the individual is the essence. Individual expression is everything. You can separate Einstein from the equations of relativity, but you cannot separate Beethoven from the Moonlight Sonata. No one will ever write The Tempest except Shakespeare or The Trial except Kafka.

Super comfortable and the print is so unique!
needed to alter the length of the pants as it is longer than the usual length, which usually i do not need to shorten it. so you cannot wear it at once as you need time to visit the tailor to shorten the length. but overall, i am very happy with the pants.

Andrew loves being outdoors - whatever the weather and even when he slips over!
Andrew really enjoyed hosting Momentum Workability when they visited the garden in the summer of 2013, leading the group on a plant treasure hunt and hosting a compost quiz!
Another favourite part of the year was harvesting fruit and making CKGrows2 Jam.
He has really enjoyed meeting and working with the group during 2013, making new friends whilst doing a lot of good work.
He is especially good at landscaping and physical grafting and likes to get stuck into whatever task needs to be done!

What can be expected from David Njoku for the rest of the season?
Who exactly are the 2018 Cleveland Browns? That question is still yet to be answered through seven games this season. The defense has played well above average and the offense is yet to find an identity.
The offense was beginning to find a groove until the Browns abruptly traded Carlos Hyde to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fifth-round pick. Now, it seems like the Browns are shuffling to get the right amount of touches for Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson.
Before the Hyde trade, Todd Haley seemed to not have an answer on how they wanted to get Chubb and Johnson involved. When the Browns signed Hyde, it was clear that he was just going to be on the team for the 2018 season, despite signing a contract for three years. That idea became concrete once the Browns extended Johnson and drafted Chubb with the 35th pick.
It is fair to say that the Browns have yet to figure out how to make Jarvis Landry a complete NFL receiver. Antonio Callaway, on the other hand, seems to have the rookie yips, as he is stepped into an important role as the team’s number two receiver.
The biggest question mark of them all is David Njoku. Let’s make one thing clear, this is not a bad thing. The Browns truly do not know what they have in the second year tight end, as he has shown glimpses of improving as the season goes on.
In his rookie season, Njoku had below average production. He was targeted 60 times, hauling in 32 receptions for 386 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He had a drop percentage of 7.0, which was actually middle of the pack among all tight ends in the NFL. For comparison sake, Travis Kelce (7.4%), Jimmy Graham (10.3%), and Austin Hooper (10.5%) all finished with worse drop rates than Njoku in 2017.
Heading into this season, I said that it should be expected that Njoku leads the team in receiving touchdowns for the 2018 season. As of right now, that stands true. Njoku and Landry are tied for the lead with two touchdowns this year. Through seven games, Njoku has 52 targets, 31 receptions, and two touchdowns this season. His targets and receptions in 2018 nearly replicate last year’s totals in 2017 and that means there is progress. However, he has recorded 89 fewer yards on one extra reception compared to last year.
So what can exactly be expected from Njoku for the rest of the season?
Well, Njoku is fifth in the NFL in targets among tight ends and seventh in receptions. When the Browns drafted Njoku in the first round, they likely imagined him being in this category with Zach Ertz, Kelce, Hooper, etc. He is clearly becoming one of the most valuable assets to the offense, hopefully continuing to develop to a true top pass catcher in the NFL.
Despite the numbers, Pro Football Focus has Njoku graded as their 69th worst tight end on the NFL with an offensive grade of 57.2. In addition, his receiving grade of 54.3 is 78th worst. Unfortunately, it only gets worse as you dig deeper into his numbers. His drop grade of 29.4 is the worst in the NFL among all tight ends with 15 or more receptions; among pass catchers in general, the only players worst than Njoku are Antonio Callaway and Michael Crabtree. Njoku’s drop percentage backs up his poor drop grade. He has dropped 17.5 percent of his passes which is worst in the NFL among tight ends with 15 or more receptions.
For a rookie quarterback, a tight end is his best friend. Even despite his continues drops, Baker Mayfield continues to trust Njoku. Following a brutal drop on third down early against the Buccaneers, Mayfield found Njoku in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown later in the game.
There has been plenty of ups and downs from the Browns over the last two seasons, and Njoku has certainly had plenty of ups and downs as well. He cannot yet be declared one of the NFL’s best and he cannot yet be declared a bust. What Njoku is right now is a middle of the pack tight end who continues to improve.
In this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Njoku has a perfect opportunity to start shifting his status more towards being a Pro Bowl pass catcher. In terms of fantasy football, the Steelers have allowed the third most points against tight ends this season. The only two teams in front of the Steelers are the Ravens and Bengals. Njoku finished with six receptions for 69 yards against the Ravens. In Week 1 against the Steelers, he only recorded three receptions for 13-yards.
With a crucial game against the Steelers this week, it is crucial that Njoku becomes a big reason why the Browns potentially win on Sunday, and not the reason they don’t.

Nigeria is one of HMG's highest priorities in Africa. Nigeria is Africa's most populous country (c180m), its largest economy and the world's twelfth largest oil producer. One in five Africans are Nigerian. Two thirds of Nigeria's cl 80m people live on under $1.25 a day. By 2050 its population is expected to grow to around 440m.
Set against these opportunities, Nigeria faces enormous challenges, including major security threats (from instance from Boko Haram in the north-east, and insecurity in areas such as the Niger Delta), huge corruption, tensions over land, resources and jobs, and a fragile economy. These challenges affect the Nigerian government's ability to deliver effectively on security, development and prosperity - in a country which is home to a quarter of Africa's extreme poor. Nigeria has the potential to be major force for development across the continent. It has a strong influence on African politics, peace and security, and trade through ECOWAS/AU, and is a major contributor to peacekeeping.

You will develop a sound understanding and the UK’s priorities in Nigeria and, working with the relevant teams, will identify how to make best use of comms to help to deliver.
Leading a small team, you will ensure that the communications effort in Nigeria is proactive and creative, managing all aspects of communications including but not limited to public diplomacy events, external digital communications (increasing the audience receiving UK messages to maximise impact) and traditional media engagement.
You will help shape programmes for visiting senior officials, Ministers and VVIPs, managing media engagements and providing sound advice on all press and public affairs elements.

The Story Bridge and Brisbane River provide the ideal backdrop for diners experiencing the new waterfront restaurant at The University of Queensland’s historic Customs House.
Customs House director Brian Roberts said while Patina was a modern restaurant with a luxe fit-out, it still had strong links to the building’s Victorian heritage.
“The name Patina is a reference to the iconic copper dome on top of Customs House; it’s the name given to that distinct green colour that occurs through oxidisation,” Mr Roberts said.
While the restaurant offers a new menu and share-plate dining style, it’s still serving up its famous Customs House cellar-grown mushrooms.
Patina’s executive chef John Offenhauser, who was previously Chef de Cuisine and Sous Chef at Marco Polo, said he was focused on showcasing fresh local produce.
“The menu has been designed to reflect the paddock to plate philosophy, so the cuisine is predominately local or from our region,” he said.
Patina is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner - you can visit Patina's Facebook page for information and images. It will continue the Custom House’s tradition of champagne tea and breakfast on Sundays, open from 9am. University of Queensland staff receive a 10 per cent discount with their staff ID card.

The Western civilization or Western world is a set of cultural, political, and economic characteristics that unite the countries of North America and Western Europe, describing them in comparison with other countries in the world.
The term “Western civilization” can be confusing in its definition because it covers different realities at different times and can vary according to political, cultural, ideological, religious, or philosophical views. It is therefore interesting to study it in a historical perspective.
The Western civilization or simply the West in a classical view means, an heiress cultural area of ancient Greece (thinking, science) and ancient Rome (right) and impregnated later Judeo-Christian culture, Catholic and Protestant. In this sense, the roots of the West date back to antiquity. Its origin lies in the establishment of colonies by the cities of Ancient Greece, which spread gradually civilization throughout the Mediterranean. Under this influence gradually developed the city of Rome, to form a vast empire. In 296, Diocletian divided the Roman Empire administratively into two parts: East and West, establishing a first boundary between what will be a long time the Eastern world and the Western world.
We can help with writing your research paper about Western Civilization!
After a period of relative decline during the Middle Ages, the West is more strongly developed than the rest of the world with the Renaissance and the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century by liberating itself from the influence of the Church, before reaching its climax with the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, the European colonization of the world, and finally with the political revolutions in the twentieth century, which introduced secularism and parliamentary democracy.
Western Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and sometimes also of South Africa, Israel, and Japan are currently considered among the so-called Western countries.
But the roots of Western civilization and its leading media constantly transformed geographically, culturally, linguistically, and religiously. Significant is also the inner antagonism between the groups that compose the modern Western civilization. It is also important to realize nonidentical concepts of the “Western” and “European,” although these terms are interrelated.
During the Cold War in the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries, by Western were usually understood developed capitalist countries.
In general, since there is no single criterion for identification of the western world – the term itself cannot be considered uniquely appropriate.
We suggest college and university students to look through several free example research paper topics on Western Civilization in order to better understand all the different aspects of that complex phenomenon. These free samples will help you to get the idea on how to prepare, outline, structure, and compose your research proposal the most effective way. In addition, you will learn how to prove the urgency of the chosen topic.
Are you looking for a top-notch custom research paper on Western Civilization topics? Is confidentiality as important to you as the high quality of the product?

Living in Southwest Kansas means a lot of road trips just to shop or even go to a ball game. Many SCCC students commute from an hour away to attend classes. Passing the time on a long drive can be fun when listening to the right music. Add some friends and silliness to get a winning combination.
Whether you are just driving across town, commuting to school or taking a road-trip for long hours, music is always necessary in the car. No matter which genre of music you like, there are some songs that never fail to get you moving … even while on the move.
According to Top Music World, some of the best songs to listen to in the car are: “Good Life” by G-eazy and Kehlani, “Stay” by Alessia Cara, “Starboy” by the Weeknd, “Slide” by Calvin Harris, “That’s what I like” by Bruno Mars and plenty more. For the most part, Seward County Community College students agreed but added their own favorites into the mix as well.
For freshman music major, Obadiah Barnett, throwback songs are a must when in the car.
“Anything Bruno Mars or any throwback you can sing along to are necessary during car rides,” Barnett said.
SCCC students ranked their top 20 road trip songs.
For students that spend time in their car commuting to class everyday from surrounding towns, certain songs played on repeat help make the drive less boring. Freshman nursing major, Caitlyn McIntire, spends a lot of time in her car. She drives from Hugoton to Liberal, about 38 miles one way, to attend classes at SCCC.
“‘The song ‘Heaven’ by Kane Brown helps me stay awake when I’m driving here for my classes everyday. I love his voice and the song has a good message to it,” McIntire said.
SCCC students like all different genres of music, not just Top 40, when they road trip. Kolton Hodges, sophomore education major, and Seth Bowman, freshman agriculture major, agreed that country makes the car ride better.
Country music by artists like Thomas Rhett and Luke Combs really make any drive less boring,” Hodges said.
Bowman agreed but added a Johnny Cash classic to the mix.
“I like listening to ‘Ring of Fire’ by Johnny Cash because his voice can get so low,” Bowman said.
While most students surveyed enjoy upbeat music while driving, some students liked listening to slower music while they’re in the car.
“I like listening to R&B, slower hip hop and just music that i can understand. A song I listen to a lot is ‘Praying’ by Kesha,” sophomore nursing major, Liz Rodriquez, said.
So get in the car, plug in the phone and play some of these songs to get moving and singing along for the rest of the trip.

As a mom to two young boys, any woman would find their days filled with plenty of activity. But Amanda Gizzi isn’t just raising a family— she’s also growing and supporting an industry. As the director of public relations and special events for Jewelers of America, Gizzi works around the clock promoting its members in an effort to help them shine their brightest, and in turn, strengthening an industry that continues evolve. Oh, and did we mention? She also happens to be the president of the Women’s Jewelry Association, New York Chapter.
Below, we talk to Amanda about having it all: How she best prioritizes and balances work and home life, without sacrificing career goals or precious family time. Here’s how she does it.
Team Ayva: Give us a quick overview of how you got into the jewelry business.
Amanda Gizzi: Over 16 years ago, I replied to an ad in The New York Times (the paper version!) for a non-profit organization looking for a PR person. During the interview I was asked if I had a love for jewelry. I explained that while I didn’t come from the jewelry business, my grandmother had been supporting it for as long as I could remember. She had always loved and appreciated fine jewelry. As a young woman, I would go to her house before school dances and she would pull out sapphires, amethysts, diamonds, and other stunning pieces of jewelry for me to borrow. Her love for jewelry was passed on to my mom and then to me. Thankfully, the interview went well. I started working at Jewelry Information Center in August of 2001 and have been with Jewelers of America ever since.
TA: Additionally, what has been the course of your career path in the industry—from where you started, to where you are now?
AG: Public relations has changed immensely over the course of my career. Staying current and being ahead of the change has been essential. I have been lucky to work with supportive bosses throughout my tenure. I continue to set lofty goals for myself and for Jewelers of America. They see my vision and trust me to do what it takes to achieve my goals. I am constantly challenging myself by thinking about new and better ways to service our members and help the industry. Every year, I set goals to try something I haven’t tried and learn something new about jewelry and our industry.
TA: How many children do you have, and what are their ages?
AG: I have two sweet boys. Alexander is 8 and Joseph is 6.
TA: Describe what a typical (business) day looks like for you.
AG: I am up at 5:45 a.m. and on the train by 6:30. My 1.5 hour morning commute is usually spent working. I think best in the morning and my train ride gives me the greatest opportunity to write, brainstorm, and organize my day. Once I am in the office, it is non-stop until I leave. Working in PR and running events means that I don’t have a typical day—each day brings new challenges and opportunities. I work with a rock star team at Jewelers of America, and being part of a great team is when I always feel the most rewarded. Some days, I spend large chunks of my day dealing with press requests while others are spent planning TV segments, GEM Awards, member events or Editor Events. I sprint out the door and run (literally) to the train where my work resumes. We work very hard every day, but we try to make it fun. We work in a great industry, one that makes products that bring people joy. I also know that this industry is a family and we have to work our tails off to protect it and make it a thriving industry for the next generation. When I am getting media requests or promoting the work of our members, I remember that with each positive story in the press, there are thousands of people who are being influenced to think about jewelry.
TA: How have children changed the way you work? What effect has their getting older made on your day-to-day and overall career goals?
AG: Having children has made me ten times more efficient. I don’t have the luxury of staying late at work every day. My husband gets the kids off to early care but I have to be back on the train to get them out of aftercare before it closes at 6. I don’t work less than I did before kids, I work smarter. Having children forced me to look in the mirror and analyze what I wanted from life and my career. That analysis uncovered that I wanted it all. However, I knew I had to shift my current mindset. I was lucky that my bosses have realized that I don’t need to be in the office 10+ hours a day to get my work done. I work 3 hours during my commute and work in off times when needed. Shutting off my computer and being present for my kids at night is also essential. It’s all about finding balance.
TA: How have your career priorities changed since having children?
AG: They haven’t. How I work has been modified and I have to be smarter with my time. I love my career and love being a mom, and I can do both well (although it doesn’t always feel that way). I have zeroed in on the essentials for both my career and home life. Yes, it can be heartbreaking when your kids want you to be class mom and you know you can’t be or when they don’t want to go to aftercare every day. We all remind each other how lucky we are to have our life together and that we all do the best we can each day. I work extra hard to be there for the things that matter, like school parties, soccer practice, games, and even dinner time. That is why I don’t give up my evenings at home very often. I don’t attend as many parties or evening social functions as I did before I had children. That is where I find my balance. I go ninety-five miles an hour during the day so I can be home when I need to be home.
TA: On any given day, what are the biggest challenges you face at work?
AG: Time. There just isn’t enough of it. I set very high goals for myself and my team. I always say that I am my biggest challenge. I like to do everything but sometimes you have to let go and focus on one project at a time and set realistic expectations. Realistic expectations lead to fewer disappointments.
TA: What keeps you grounded?
AG: Being the President of WJA-New York Metro Chapter has helped keep me grounded. I love being part of my incredibly talented board and helping to create events and programs for the men and women of our chapter. Taking on this full-time, yet volunteer, position has helped me prioritize and call on others for support. WJA has given me my most fruitful relationships within the industry. I am inspired by the women who paved the way for other women like me to be able to be a successful working mother. Every member of WJA is supportive of one another and would do anything to help others succeed. I am truly grateful for my time with WJA and can’t wait to keep watching it grow and expand as the industry evolves.
TA: Do you talk to your children about your career? If so, what do you tell them, and what do you hope they will take away from it?
AG: Since my kids were 3 months old, they have been spending full days at daycare and now school and aftercare programs. And you know what, they are great kids. They are balanced and grounded. My husband and I both talk to the kids about our careers. We talk to them about the rewards of hard work and finding something you are passionate about. My kids, even though they are young, understand that we go to work not only to pay the bills but also to be fulfilled. I hope that they see that even though I can’t be class mom or pick them up from school each day, I do my best to be at what matters for them. Their eyes light up when they get to see me on TV or when we talk about jewelry. My youngest selected a gemstone book from his book fair—that made my heart burst with pride and joy.
TA: How do you juggle your professional life with personal? We’d love to hear your tips on achieving a balance.
AG: Learn the power of saying “no”. I am still working on this but have found that when used sparingly, it holds the power to life balance. Naturally, I am a “yes” person. I would do anything for almost anyone. However, being stretched too thin isn’t good for anyone. Whatever you are doing at the moment, be present. If you are at work, be present. If you are home, be present. As soon as I had my kids, I realized that I had to set expectations for those around me. Knowing they knew what to expect from me helped me find balance. Sure, there are nights and weekends when you need to get work done and your kids want to play and that is okay. However, most nights, I try to put the phone down during the very short window I have with them. I force myself to be in the moment and the reward is finding joy in the little life moments.
TA: What advice would you offer to new moms or moms that are also professionals in any industry?
AG: Know what your priorities are and set your goals accordingly. Take a deep look at your beliefs and determine what you need to be happy, balanced, and successful. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. For me, I truly believe that I can have it all. However, I may need a village from time to time. In college, my volleyball coach always used to tell us to imagine that we were balancing plates on sticks. We had to keep spinning them all and giving them all individual attention at the right intervals or else they would come crashing down. Keep spinning each plate and you keep the plates in the air. You got this.
TA: What helps you to unwind?
AG: I am not very good at unwinding! I tend to go all in until I fall asleep. However, nothing is better than reading books with the kids at the end of the day. I live for those moments. Date nights with my husband—although rare—also refuel me.
TA: What is your mantra?
AG: Always look at the bright side of life. It takes just as much energy to be negative as it does to positive. Don’t spend your energy on things you can’t change but fight like hell for the things and people you believe in.
TA: What quote(s) do you live by?

Buffalo was a main hub of transportation in the early 20th century and had many railway stops. The New York Central Railroad decided to build a central station in Buffalo to relieve the congestion from the smaller city stations. The Buffalo Central Terminal was completed in 1929 with a distinctive art deco architecture style. With the popularity of automobiles and population decline in the region, the Central Terminal closed in 1979. It is currently owned by a non-profit preservation group.
This Buffalo & Erie County Public Library scrapbook contains mounted, local, newspaper clippings about the Central Railroad Terminal in Buffalo, New York, from 1929-1931. The Terminal opened on June 22, 1929.

There are few, if any, technical-staff-specific mentoring schemes available. Becoming a ‘technical’ mentor would contribute to the aim of raising the profile of technical staff and provide a resource that helps them take control of their career development. Engaging in a mentoring relationship is beneficial for mentor and mentee as well as the institution/organisation.
Provision of a new dimension to current job.
It can increase personal and professional networks.
Seeing others develop from your experience(s).
Increase in knowledge retention within organisation.
The mentor has a direct positive impact on recruitment and retention.
The experience of being a mentor can contribute to CPD.
If the mentor can link the experience directly to their own career development, then this may be more appealing and could help in getting mentors registered on a scheme.
What attributes does a mentor need?
Has the ability to motivate individuals by demonstrating a professional approach.
A mentor must have the ability to actively listen.
Champions the mentee when objectives or milestones are met. Shows commitment to the relationship.
I am interested in becoming a mentor, what do I do?
Register as a mentor with your institute’s mentoring scheme, an external scheme, or offer yourself as a mentor through a technicians forum.
Check the criteria of the scheme. Technical-staff-specific schemes may require mentors to have some technical background or a working knowledge of the role of technical staff. If the scheme is being newly set up by your institution, they may outline some specific criteria/skills for mentors to possess.
Check if your previous training or experience is relevant to this scheme.
If the scheme requires, attend any necessary training or briefing for mentors.
Access an online forum to read about other people’s experiences as a mentor.
Engage with the matching process. This may mean attending a matching event and/or completing a personal profile.
Arrange an initial ‘getting to know each other’ first meeting with your mentee. This meeting could include completing the mentoring agreement form and planning the agenda for the first ‘real’ meeting. Subsequent meetings should be arranged and led by the mentee.
Support the mentee in setting their objectives. (The objective setting template document could be used here).
Make your expectations clear to your mentee.
Meet with the mentee as agreed.
Take time to review each meeting. (Template agenda).
Review the objective-setting document with the mentee and ensure they are providing evidence that progress is being made.
Document what you are learning from this process. Although the main aim of this process is to develop the mentee, there will be skills that the mentor will gain or develop merely by being engaged in the process. These skills can often be transferred into the workplace and will be valuable in any subsequent mentoring relationship.
If the relationship is not working, follow the guidance in the section below if the relationship needs to be brought to a close.
Evaluation is likely to take different forms depending on the institute’s programme. Complete any evaluation as necessary. Some may be required during the mentoring process as well as at the end of the relationship.
Mid process evaluation form. Evidence suggests that evaluating mentoring halfway through the programme helps to uncover subject areas that mentors and mentees may need additional support with.
As the mentor, you are not responsible for setting meeting dates, agendas etc. Do not ‘chase’ the mentee.
Ensure that you make each meeting. Missed meetings will affect the relationship.
If you feel that the relationship is not working, be honest with your mentee about it. It is important that the process is positive so continuing with a relationship that is not working will be detrimental to both mentee and mentor.
Find a resolution if possible and continue the relationship following the newly agreed direction.
If resolution is not possible, end the relationship formally by completing the exit form. Cite any reasons if you feel it may be beneficial or appropriate.
Contact your institute’s programme co-ordinator and explain that the relationship has been terminated.
Offer yourself as an available mentor on the programme again.

This course explores a range of fundamental writing strategies and key rhetorical moves to strengthen the skills needed to write a well-organized essay and argumentative research paper. The course is organized as a writing laboratory where students can workshop their writing in a structured environment. It begins with formal and informal register and letter writing; the critical reading of sources, summarizing, paraphrasing, accurate quoting, outlining, paragraphing; it continues with the writing of a topic proposal, the selection of primary and secondary sources, and thesis development. Paper formatting according to the MLA standard, research and the use of library resources will also be covered. In addition to regular in and out-of-class reading and writing assignments, students are required to write a fully-documented research paper.
Students will be able to write a well-organized, evidence-supported and error-free argumentative research paper.
Since the course is based on a series of in-class writing workshops and activities, regular attendance and class contribution are essential. As such, students are required to attend all class meetings. Students are allowed 3, no-questions-asked absences per semester for both the expected (i.e., being the best man in your brother’s wedding) and the unexpected (i.e., a flat tire). Each additional absence beyond the 3 allowed, with the exception of absences excused by the Dean's Office, will result in the reduction of the final grade for the course of 5%. Students who arrive to class after attendance has been taken will be counted as late. Two late arrivals will count as one absence. Note well that 6 absences or more will result in an automatic failure for the course.
Please also note that the Participation 5% of your final grade will reflect your timeliness, your work ethic, your attentiveness, your grit and perseverance, your inquisitiveness and creativity, and your respect for your colleagues. If you are dwindling in these areas, you will be given an opportunity at the Mid-term conference to improve your conduct after which point, should you not improve, you grade will be thusly affected.
Writing Center: I encourage you all to visit the Writing Center as good practice for excellent composition. As such, I may take into consideration your Writing Center attendance in calculating your final grade if: 1) At the end of the semester your grade is on the cusp i.e., a 79.9% and 2) Your writing has demonstrably improved as a result of your having put into practice what you have learned at the Writing Center.
Please note that there is homework in nearly every class so if you are absent, you are still responsible for whatever material was covered in class. Papers or homework due on the day of the absence are to be turned in via email or via another student. Do not email the instructor asking what the homework is or what we covered in class: contact a classmate instead and of course, check Moodle.
Scheduled in-class essays may not be made up unless arrangements are made with the professor before the day of the absence.
The use of computers and phones is not permitted during class unless indicated by the instructor.
If a major scheduled grading event (assignment due, in-class essay, presentation) is scheduled for that class period, and you don’t show up and don’t have a university-sanctioned excuse (see below) then you will lose the points for that activity. Please refer to the JCU Academic Policies link on the website for the University's Absence Policy.

The Boston Police Department has taken extreme measures to ensure their unofficial mascot stays cozy during the winter months.
Officers have been feeding and taking care of an adorable stray Calico, affectionately dubbed SWAT Cat, since she showed up at the department's Special Weapons and Tactics base in 2013, according to the Boston Police Department's website.
Now, SWAT Cat has a place to call her own thanks to Officer Jamie Pietroski.
The department's website says Pietroski stayed late for several nights building SWAT Cat's swanky new kitty condo.
"The condo features a spacious studio interior layout, a large deck for outdoor dining and glass sliding doors offering panoramic city views," the department's website explains. "SWAT Cat moved right in and looks very happy with her new custom kitty accommodations."
The timing worked out perfectly because the area was recently hit with a snow storm.
The department noted that SWAT Cat quickly settled into her new home.

1.) The product is the star of the present within the Numis Network alternative.

Christy Libbert and her dear friend, Amanda, worked together for several years in hospital administration before they decided to start a boutique. Both women had to dress nice for work and loved boutique clothing. It didn’t take them long to decide they wanted to create a business where they could share their unique style at an affordable price.
Inspired by their customers’ wishes, Cut From the Same Cloth offers dresses, tunics, cardigans, and tops, but their favorites are their funny novelty tees and mugs.
“We both have odd senses of humor,” Christy tells us, “so when we find a funny item that our customers also love we feel like it is a definite win.” Abby and I also have odd senses of humor, so we’re looking forward to checking out those tees!
Being in business together has really helped the pair grow as friends. They have learned to play to one another’s strengths. “The best part is being able to see the end results and know that it is something we created all on our own,” Christy says. We can relate, girls.
Though Christy and Amanda aren’t big fans of all the paperwork involved in running their own business, they love matching up customers with amazing new clothes. When they’re working together, you’re likely to find them listening to upbeat pop like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake. We’re betting they dance around a lot while they work.
Want to get a sense of their humor? Because this sounds like something the Backroads Market ladies would totally do. “For our first show, we forgot chairs,” says Christy. “There was an antique market close by, and I said I would go find us chairs. Amanda thought it was never going to happen, but I came back shortly with two bright green lawn chairs straight from the 1980s.” They still bring those bright green chairs to every show. It makes them laugh every time.
You can follow Cut From the Same Cloth on Facebook and Instagram, but if you want to see those chairs you have to come to the Market on May 11 & 12.

I don’t read a huge amount of non-fiction. I think historically this has been due to a deep-seated belief that non-fiction = educational. I want my reading to be fun, and ‘being educated’ isn’t fun, it’s something you do because a teacher/government official says you have to.

Hello, Been away from this forum for awhile, but I still use ST's for all my post processing. Question: I'm still running Version 1.4.296, which I see is a year old or so. Works OK on my Windows 8.1 16RAM 1 year old computer. I'm just wondering if I should update ST's. It says that an older version than mine is Stable, but it also says to update. Is there any advantage for me to update? I would like to have what's most powerful. But what is said in the Download section is confusing.

1.4 is still in alpha, meaning that features will change and/or may not work as expected between versions. Once we arrive at 'beta' the feature set is locked down and only bugs are fixed. 'Release Candidate' stage, finally tries to establish a version that can be designated stable.
If you're curious about what has changed between versions and whether it is worth updating, have a look at the CHANGELOG file of one of the latest downloads.

Cornish tin has been produced and smelted since 2000 B.C.
For most of this time it was mined from the surface as alluvial tin (stream tin). This material had been laid down after being eroded and weathered away from outcropping veins or lodes over vast periods of time.
A Greek explorer visited Britain around 300 B.C. and wrote of the tin mining and smelting activities he saw. He also said the tinners were friendly and used to dealing with foreign merchants arriving to trade for the tin. After loading it onto wooden ships it was taken across the channel to France then by packhorse to Marseilles an ancient tin trading port from where it was distributed to the Mediterranean civilisations.
The lives of Cornish people are strongly woven around the mining heritage. It was of such importance that a Stannary (tin) Parliament existed to govern all matters concerning production. During good times when mines opened church bells rang out, bands played and bunting flew in the wind. When the prices slumped Cornish people were scattered and dispersed throughout the world taking their valuable mining skills to other lands. Today the descendants of Cornish miners are spread around the world. These Cornish communities greatly value the connection with their native Cornwall.
People visiting Cornwall are always struck by the melancholy silence of the engine houses and old mining sites that stand as monuments to the generations who have laboured there.
These people were welded together in a common cause intensified by the dangerous nature of their occupation. A sense of this may be gathered by a young miners experience when he started his career in the nearby Wheal Kitty tin mine, early in the 20th. Century. At the end of their working shift the miners gathered near the shaft waiting to be taken to the surface. One of them began to sing a song which was taken up by the whole group, the walls ringing and reverberating with their combined voices. As the sound travelled upwards miners waiting at levels higher up the shaft joined in, until the beauty of the sound echoing up and down overwhelmed him. He was later to spend the rest of his working life in the mines of Africa, but this memory of his homeland remained with him forever.

The Grammy Award ceremony, which took place on Sunday, didn’t fail to impress. Nominees and guests shined on the red carpet, and Miley Cyrus appeared alongside her parents, Billy Ray and Tish.
Dressed in a stylish oversized jacket, Miley smiled as she posed for the cameras with her parents, but someone important was conspicuously absent from the pictures.
The singer's fans were worried when they didn’t see her husband, Liam Hemsworth, accompanying her at the ceremony. What happened between them? Or, maybe, something happened to him?
Sadly, the actor had to miss the ceremony and Isn’t It Romantic press day for a valid and quite alarming reason.
He texted us this morning — he was in hospital overnight, so hopefully he will be fine.
No reason was given as to why Liam was hospitalized. His wife Miley said on Friday that she and Liam had plans to attend the premiere of his new movie on Monday, but now it’s not clear if that will go as planned.
Miley’s performance on Sunday was a delightful surprise for fans! She joined Shawn Mendes on the stage and they performed his hit song In My Blood together.
The duo’s energetic performance fired up the audience, and they closed it with a friendly hug.
As for Miley’s husband Liam, we hope he’s doing better and we’ll see the pair together at the next event!

On Saturday while shopping for some rather mundane neccessities I ended up buying one of these Christmas pamper gifts for me: a shower gel and a body lotion smelling of oranges, cloves and cinnamon by Dresdener Essenz. Plus one of their bath salts. This is a warm, lovely fragrance – something that works for winter and not just for Christmas. Feels a bit like a warm embrace – am quite smitten!
Am Samstag, während ich einige sehr profane Dinge einkaufen musste, ist mir dieses Geschenk-Set in die Hände gefallen und habe es spontan für mich selber gekauft. Es besteht aus einer Winterdusche und einer Bodylotion, die wohlig warm nach Orangen, Nelken und Zimt duften. Dazu habe ich mir noch das passende Winterbad der Dresdener Essenz gekauft. Ein toller Duft, nicht nur für Weihnachten! Ich bin ganz hin- und weg von dem Set.
None of my give-aways are sponsored and I am still learining the ropes. Like last time when I made this rafflecopter one, (which is still open, nudge, nudge) only to find out it doesn’t work on my blog. Gnaaaaah….
Anyway – for this one. all you need to do is leave a comment „SHOWER“ on this blog and I will pick a lucky winner for this retro showercap next Sunday, the 4th of advent. Will only ship within Europe (am counting the UK into this one).
Keins meiner Give-Aways is gesponsort und ich lerne hier immer noch verdammt viel. Wie beim letzen Mal, als ich eine Rafflecopter-Verlosung eingerichtet habe, die zwar leider nicht mit meinem Blog kompatibel ist, aber dafür immer noch läuft! Anyway – alles was ohr diesmal tun müsst: hinterlasst einen Kommentar „SHOWER“ auf dem Blog und am vierten Advent ziehe ich einen glücklichen Gewinner für die Duschhaube im Retrolook. Versand erfolgt nur innerhalb von Europa.
St. Nicholaus is the day for which I usually put up my tree. For quite a few years now I have a party before Christmas. So no party pics today but some of my white tree with pastel baubles and my überkitsch 1950s nativity.
As you can spot, my cards from 2009 – hmmm, must take pics this year again!
Jolly, holly, dolly… anyway – time to carol on!

In Asia, there’s a treasure trove of rare and unique delicacies that are highly prized for their amazing nutritional benefits. One of them is bird’s nest. Known as the “caviar of the East”, bird’s nest has been sought after by the Chinese dating back to the ancient dynasties – during which it was served as a royal offering.
What exactly is bird’s nest? Made from swiftlets’ saliva secretion, these birds build their nests in caves when it’s breeding season and do this over a duration of 35 days. To harvest the nests, they are hand-collected. After harvesting, the nests are cleansed thoroughly. As acquiring the nests is a difficult and dangerous process (harvesters need to scale high cave walls to get them), only the affluent were able to afford this delicacy back in the day. Even to this day, it’s rather expensive, but still and affordable luxury.
Nutrition of bird’s nests comes from the swiftlets’ saliva which is said to contain amino acids, carbohydrates, and mineral salts. Used for centuries whether as a tonic or a health food, bird’s nests benefit many different areas of health. In traditional Chinese medicine, bird’s nest is recommended for nourishing the kidneys, lungs, heart and the stomach; it also regulates blood circulation, making it a great source of food to revitalise the body.
Along with being an excellent remedy for treating asthma and bronchitis, it is also prescribed to those with digestive issues as it helps to stimulate appetite, aid digestion and provides a unique pre-digested form of protein and nutrients to speed up recovery from chronic illnesses. It is particularly helpful for brain development and as an anti-aging remedy due to its cell regeneration properties. It is also highly recommended for pregnant ladies as bird’s nest can strengthen the immune system and aid with post-natal recovery.
With its hosts of healthy nutrients, how do bird’s nest contribute to weight loss? As bird’s nest contains many important amino acids which would help with fat burn, this delicacy indirectly aids with weight loss. Moreover, as it is good for maintaining general health, it also strengthens your body and vitality to smooth out the weight loss process as well.
Our body needs amino acids to function properly as they are the foundation to building protein molecules. Amino acids play an important part in our internal processes, which contribute to more vitality, energy and good health – all crucial elements to aid with weight loss. Additionally, there are specific amino acid compounds that can stimulate weight loss hormones, thus speeding up the fat or calorie burn process.
Bird’s nests are high in protein – there are studies that confirm edible bird nest contains all eighteen types of amino acids that are required by the human body. This includes the eight essential amino acids, namely, phenylalanine, valine, thronine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, lysine and leucine. The nests also contain reasonable amounts of calcium, iron, riboflavin and includes minerals like zinc, copper, sodium, calcium and potassium.
Let’s look at three types of fat-burning acid aminos that are available in bird’s nest and how they contribute to weight loss.
Many studies have been done on lysine’s role in fat metabolism. In one study, rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were fed supplemental lysine – they lost weight, and their blood levels of triglycerides decreased (Biomed Research International in May 2014). In another study, individuals with obesity were given an amino acid mixture containing lysine. They consequently burned more fat during physical work outs compared to others who did not take the supplement (2010 study by Michishita published in the “Journal of International Medical Research). According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, lysine stimulates the production of carnitine, a component essential for converting fats into energy.
Your body uses methionine to make the substance called creatine, another type of amino acid which is essential in boosting metabolism and thus serving as a fat-burn catalyst. Methionine is known as a lipotropic which makes sure fat tissue is utilized as a source of energy, leaving you with a more vitality. It is also a good liver cleanser as it helps to dispose of layers of fat from the liver.
An essential amino acid that regulates emotions to help us feel happy and relaxed, tryptophan is important in any weight loss plan, as it promotes a feeling of general well-being. It can also help maintain glucose metabolism, which plays an indirect role in controlling hunger pangs. It also helps with better sleep.
While there aren’t many studies done yet on edible bird’s nest as a weight loss supplement, it’s still worthwhile to give this delicacy a try. It’s actually delicious and very light on the palate. Many Chinese have this as a dessert to end their meals with a sweet note.
oh gosh this stuff is yummy!
My mom used to make us eat this every week and while it sounded really really odd it tasted yummy. But I never knew there were so many health benefits too!
My mom told us girls that drinking birds nest soup will make us beautiful and give us great skin! Haha!
Thanks for sharing a well written great article about edible birds nest and its benefits for weight loss.
I didn’t know birds nest could be good to help people to lose some weight. you wrote a good article that helped me to understand how it works.
I’ve heard before about this dish and I knew about people eating it in some countries, next time I visit a restaurant where this dish is serve I’ll try it.
Great article on the benefits of birds nest soup. I’ve heard of this before but have never seen it on a menu. I’m going to start looking for it as I’m now curius to try it.

When you are from the other side of town like me with plenty of malls surrounding the area as well, you wouldn't bother even stepping out to explore malls that are more than 20km radius because petrol can be rather pricey these days (the prices fluctuates every week!).
But i am glad i learned something new over the weekend, discovering a new shoe brand from Hong Kong recently open an outlet in shopping mall at Cheras (MyTown) and i also got myself a new pair of sandals to replace my old broken one after complementing for almost an hour because there were just too many designs to choose from!
So many "new" in one sentence lol.
How many of you are a fan of crocs here?
I wasn't much of a fan because i found their design rather ugly to be honest but no doubt the wide front design is suitable for people who have some bone deformities like mine (i have a bunion) as it isn't too tight unlike normal shoe designs that's supposed to fit like a glove (so painful for me).
But no doubt their material is great especially for tropical weather like Malaysia you can never wear suede or other types of fabric shoes without the risk of it being drenched in muddy rain water/ gross.
And having just to pick one pair took forever, i always joke that when it comes to shopping i am one of the worst person on earth to go out with as i can never decide which item to get and will end up debating like it's an ongoing school national debate showdown lol. So thank you Cheryl for tolerating me haha.
Surprisingly comfortable and its made from light EVA compound that feels abit like foam rubber making alol their shoes shock absorbent, lightweight and waterproof as well.
Kornna aims to release more exciting designs and colors monthly to their current collection, so you'll definitely will have a hard time keeping to just one pair. Don't be afraid to mix and match your shoes as well to create a playful outcome that suits your personality, if they can wear mismatched socks, i don't see the reason why not for shoes as well.
Kornna can be found even in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and soon every part of the world!

Greetings, friends of the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra!
As you probably know, the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra will present "Learning from the Master," featuring guest artist Bobby Watson and the 2014 Young Lions All-Star Band, Tuesday January 14 at the Cornhusker Marriott in downtown Lincoln.
We have created a Facebook "event" for this concert. If you are on Facebook, we would really appreciate if you would help us spread the word by "joining" the event, sharing it on your Facebook wall and inviting your friends.
Lincoln, NE - The Nebraska Jazz Orchestra is pleased to announce the musicians selected for the 2014 Young Lions All-Star Band. Student musicians selected by audition for the band receive the opportunity to perform with some of the finest jazz musicians in Nebraska. They will perform in concert with the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra and guest artist Bobby Watson at the "Learning from the Master" concert on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cornhusker Marriott in Lincoln. The Young Lions All-Star Band will be coached and directed by Nebraska Jazz Orchestra Music Director Ed Love.
The Nebraska Jazz Orchestra presents "Learning from the Master," featuring world-renowned saxophonist, composer and educator Bobby Watson of Kansas City, Tuesday, January 14 at The Cornhusker Marriott, 333 South 13th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
Watson travels to Lincoln for the Nebraska premiere of his recent composition "The Gates BBQ Suite," a soulful seven-part piece that takes listeners on a musical journey into the world of smoked meats and sauces. The suite, which went to No. 4 on the national jazz airplay chart following its CD release in late 2010, swings from beginning to end, with a slight detour into an Afro-Cuban groove. Before he takes the stage with the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra, Watson will perform a short set with the 2014 Young Lions All-Star Band.
In a career of more than three decades, Bobby Watson has 30 recordings as a leader and has appeared on more than 100 others. His original music includes the soundtrack for the film A Bronx Tale, and the tunes "Time Will Tell," "In Case You Missed It" and "Wheel Within a Wheel."
Watson grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and trained formally at the University of Miami, but he earned his "doctorate" on the bandstand as music director of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. After four years and more than a dozen recordings with Blakey, he worked with drummers Max Roach and Louis Hayes, saxophonists George Coleman and Branford Marsalis, multi-instrumentalist Sam Rivers and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. He also worked with vocalists Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves, Lou Rawls, Betty Carter and Carmen Lundy.
Bobby's first big-band album was 1992's "Tailor Made." With bassist Curtis Lundy and drummer Victor Lewis, he launched Horizon, an acoustic quintet modeled after the Jazz Messengers but with a distinctly modern twist. In addition to his work with Horizon, Watson also has led a nine-piece group known as the High Court of Swing, a tribute to the music of Johnny Hodges, as well as the Grammy-nominated 16-piece, large ensemble Tailor Made Big Band.
The saxophonist balances his teaching responsibilities as director of jazz studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City with engagements at major venues worldwide.
Meadowlark Coffee & Espresso, 1624 South St., will present Thursday night jazz jams from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. beginning January 16. Jazz musicians are invited to bring their instruments. The regular rhythm section will be Aaron Stroessner on guitar; Eric Hitt on acoustic bass and Chris Varga on drums. Other rhythm players are welcome, and there is an upright piano on location. Jazz fans are encouraged to come out and support live and local jazz music.

Since the foundation of the theological college by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce in 1854 (now Ripon College Cuddesdon), All Saints' Church has been known throughout the Anglican Communion. It is still used for evening worship during term time throughout the year. The village of Cuddesdon has always had a close association with the Church. Soon after the granting of the charter in 956 AD, the estate, which also included Wheatley, became an important source of revenue for the monks of Abingdon Abbey, who retained the land until the dissolution of the monasteries in Henry VIII's time. The Abbey, which was one of the richest in the country, was responsible for building the first church on this site, which was mentioned in the will of Abbot Faritius in 1117. After a long legal dispute, the Abbey gained the rectory (i.e. the bulk of the ecclesiastical revenues) of Cuddesdon in 1237 and appointed vicars to minister in the parish.
After the Reformation the advowson (the right to present vicars) was held by a number of private individuals, but in 1589 it was transferred to the bishops of Oxford, who were also granted the rectory as part of their endowment. Since the bishops had no house, Archbishop Laud suggested that Cuddesdon might be a suitable site, given that the bishops already owned the land, and it was on a hill away from the somewhat unsanitary conditions of Oxford. In 1632, partly to increase his revenues, Bishop John Bancroft appointed himself vicar of Cuddesdon, and shortly afterwards built the first palace to the north of the churchyard. In 1637 the vicarage was permanently appropriated by the bishops of Oxford. Ministry was exercised by a number of chaplains and curates. From the eighteenth century there was a separate curate for Wheatley and a new chapel of ease was built in 1793. Wheatley became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1855.
The bishop's palace was burnt down in 1644 to prevent its use as a parliamentary garrison. It was not until the time of Bishop John Fell that a new palace was completed in 1679, and from that time until fairly recently most of the bishops of Oxford have lived in Cuddesdon. Samuel Wilberforce considerably expanded the palace in 1846, and his chapel still survives. After a period of neglect the palace was burnt down again in 1958 and a new more modest house completed in 1962. It passed into private hands in 1977.
After the ecclesiastical reforms of the mid-nineteenth century bishops were banned from holding ecclesiastical livings and a separate vicarage was endowed for Cuddesdon from 1852. The first incumbent was Alfred Pott, who was charged with setting up the theological college to train for the Church of England ministry. The vicars remained principals of the college until 1996. Most of the vicars of Cuddesdon have been preferred to high office in the church, most notably Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was vicar from 1960 to 1970. From 1996 the college has had a separate principal and the church has been part of the Wheatley Team Ministry, served by a Team Vicar who also ministers in the neighbouring villages of Garsington and Horspath.
The church was erected about 1180. The original church was a large cruciform building without aisles. The mouldings on the tower arch and the west door, as well as the door itself, are fine examples of this late Norman work. The font is also Norman, but rather plainer. Remnants of the original Norman buttresses and clerestory can be seen high up in the north and south aisles, and also on the exterior. The door on the tower staircase dates from the foundation of the church, and might possibly indicate the presence of a monastic quire and explain the length of the chancel the church may have been intended as a small priory of Abingdon Abbey. The door is probably too early for a rood screen.
Soon after the establishment of the vicarage the aisles were built, probably by punching through the original walls as at nearby Dorchester Abbey. The porches, as well as the lancets in the south and west walls, probably date from this period. In about 1350 the low aisles roofs were raised, evidence for which is still clearly visible on the exterior west wall. Traces of medieval painting can be seen in the blocked Norman doorway of the north transept (behind the organ). The chancel was repaired in the late fourteenth century, and there were elaborate plans for rebuilding the chancel following the Lincoln diocesan visitation of 1520. It is likely that aisles were planned on each side to be entered through the Norman blank arches in the transepts. The Reformation halted work and the chancel was left without windows on both north and south walls. Windows were added first in the early seventeenth century and more substantial windows in the first Victorian restoration.
After the dissolution of the monasteries the church quickly decayed, but was restored in the early 1600s, shortly before the construction of the palace. Many of the pews date from 1630 they were constructed only after a long dispute between the vicar and the parishioners from Wheatley. A simple wooden screen was erected against the tower arch which was removed in the Victorian restoration. Bishop Bancroft also had a new straight-headed window put in the south transept, which was later replaced. He was buried under the south wall in 1640. A small room was added next to the tower staircase in the late 1820s which explains the small window at the east end of the north aisle. The room was soon dismantled. In 1849 the chancel was extensively restored by Benjamin Ferrey. He removed the memorial tablets to the south transept, dismantled the lathe and plaster ceiling and added memorial windows to the bishops of Oxford, together with the rather oversized woodwork. The chancel gained the appearance (which it still has) of the bishop's private chapel. Brasses and enamels were given in memory of the bishops of Oxford from Stubbs to Strong (d. 1944).
G. E. Street, the diocesan architect, who shortly afterwards built the college, carried out a second wave of restoration from 1851-3, replacing the wooden ringing chamber with the groined vault in the crossing. Street also added a hideous stone pulpit, which was soon removed. The present pulpit was carved by Bishop Stubbs' daughter, Katherine, in 1895 to a design by C. E. Kempe. A new gothic altar was built by Street which has since been modified twice in accordance with the latest ecclesiastical fashion. The riddle posts were added by F. G. Howard in 1921, and it was lengthened in 1933 to designs by H. S. Rogers.
In 1931 the south transept was partially converted into a Lady Chapel in memory of Principal Ducat. Later in the 1930s Eric Graham, a particularly high-church vicar, sought an ambitious re-ordering of the church. Plans were made by Stephen Dykes-Bower to build wrought iron screens and gates around the crossing and to erect an altar in memory of John Russell, a vice-principal of the College. Fortunately only the gates to the chancel were constructed by 1941 when work stopped because of the war. An aumbry for the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament was also constructed at the same time. Plans for an elaborate organ gallery at the west end were also made by Dykes-Bower, but never carried out. After a succession of electric organs the current pipe instrument made by Henry Willis was bought from Christ Church cathedral in 1982. It was originally constructed for St Margaret's Convent at East Grinstead.
There is no medieval glass in the church. The magnificent west window was designed by Street and executed by John Hardman. The less successful east window was also made by Hardman. Most of the rest of the nave glass was designed by Kempe: the lancets of Bede (the Anglo-Saxon historian) and Birinus (apostle of this part of England) in the west walls commemorate Bishop Stubbs, a great historian, and the large south-west window of Peter and Paul commemorates Bishop Mackarness. The modern lancet of the ascension of Elijah replaces an earlier window and was made by Joseph Nuttgens in 1986.
A full account of the history of the parish and church of Cuddesdon can be found in Mark D. Chapman, God's Holy Hill, The Wychwood Press, 2004, available from bookshops or from the College office, price £12.99.

12/08/2015 · An expert baker would make their own pastry (or even 'reverse puff pastry' for real stars like Dominique Ansel in New York), but for an easy win just use a sheet or block (like we did). Remember, you can make arlettes from pie or tart offcuts.... Welcome to the world of puff pastries. If the French are known to master anything better than anyone else, it’s this. They have an elegant way of creating puff pastry that results in flaky, crispy, buttery yet light melt in your mouth layers.
A too delicate pastry dough or one that falls apart is a result of the exact opposite causes of a tough or gummy pastry. Under mixing, using too much fat, or too little liquid does not allow the ingredients to bind together and virtually no gluten is formed, providing no structure.... Reverse puff pastry. Reverse puff pastry is like the Rolls of pasta! It is crispier, more regular and has a lighter texture! The only downside is that it requires a little more control.
Reverse puff pastry Reverse puff pastry is like the Rolls of pasta! It is crispier, more regular and has a lighter texture! The only downside is that it requires a little more control.

The old men’s ward is an example of what the hospital resembled before part of the complex was modernized. Small rooms, light switches outside the door, small observation windows set into heavy wood. If you ask me, though, the tile work across the floors is the most spectacular.
The corner of Clyde on Michigan Street looked like it had been sealed a long time.
I really like the way this high-ceilinged room is decaying. Well, decayed. It’s demolished now.
For a short time, CN mounted flood lights atop the abandoned dock.
In the bottom of a creek, an antique children’s wheelchair is buried in grass, where someone threw it. Wooden leg braces suggest this dates to the 1950s.

As business leaders work to create an efficient digital business strategy, they must first understand the forces that help define a digital strategy. At a high-level, we can define digital business as the creation of new business models by blurring the digital and physical worlds. This unprecedented convergence of people, business, and things will disrupt existing business models and create opportunities for new models to succeed (or become mainstream).
If that’s the case, it’s essential for the CIOs/CDOs to take a hard look at their current business models and embrace change by building competent strategies that blur the digital and physical worlds of their businesses. Ignoring this need or planning to act when the market shapes up is no longer an option—the Ubers and Teslas of the world are already engaged in defining new business models that are overtaking existing business models.
How can our business be made substantially more valuable through disrupting the ways people, business, and things work together?
How will digital business introduce new areas of competitive advantage and change the business ecosystem?
Do we have leaders who can convert digital business theories into concrete reality for the business?
Can we exploit technologies such as IoT, smart human-machine interfaces, 3D printing, rapid development/prototyping techniques, and digital security?
Can we leverage new service offerings from business or IT consultancies to reshape the business value chain?
1Discover. Discover the “digital aspiration” in your business value chain and identify whether disruption will consist of adding to your value chain or transforming it completely. We recommend a hybrid approach that begins as fragmented add-on and evolves into a complete transformation.
2Assess. Assess all aspects of the results of discovery (this could be anything from a simple SWOT analysis to a more complex analytical assessment). At this point, it is important to identify and prioritize the components within the value chain that most need digitization or those that generate most value for the business.
3Acquire. Try to simultaneously build, hire, and acquire competency based on the results of the first two phases. A simple 2x2 BCG model could influence your decision to build, hire, or acquire capabilities and competency. In most cases build, hire, or acquire will suffice, but some may want to consider joint venture or collaboration to meet certain digital goals.
4Refine and Operationalize. Learn from your digital business experience and refine the business model. In other words: innovate while providing stable operations.
This DA2RO approach is designed to help businesses take a strategic yet tactical approach to building a proactive digital business strategy and competency.

Anyone who is familiar with the countless police procedurals on television knows that there are specific ways to investigate certain types of crimes. An expertise in a particular field can be crucial for better handling the criminal element that focuses on white collar or corporate crime for example. However, this idea is not only for the screen. as real courts are doing the same thing.
Officials in Sao Paulo, Brazil, are considering setting up a series of specialized courts that would deal with corporate law and commercial disputes. This is following positive feedback from a move made in 2011 which saw an appellate court to adjudicate commercial disputes. The idea is to speed up the settlement process and ensure proper remedies are prescribed accordingly.
While there is excitement about this move, there is also trepidation from some legal practitioners. One thought is that this would decrease the number of companies going to arbitration and increase the number of lawsuits handled by judges.
However, as most arbitration only takes place under specific circumstances and in sophisticated cases, it is unlikely arbitration would be become redundant. On top of that, others advocate that the possibility of setting precedents would be limited to just a handful of judges that specialized in commercial law.
Although there is some skepticism surrounding this idea in the legal would, the results from the appellate courts that handle commercial disputes show that this move would make precedents more coherent and straightforward. There should be more enthusiasm for the possibility of having specialty courts to handle corporate law in the Brazilian jurisdiction.

Founder: Analytical Engine Interactive Inc.
I’ve recently left my 10-year stint as Director of Interactive at TVO & 18-month stint as Director of Interactive at Q Media Solutions to start up my own company, Analytical Engine Interactive Inc. I do what I’ve been doing for the last 10 or so years: help businesses operate in the online environment which, I believe, is pretty much non-negotiable these days. What, exactly, does that mean?
Well, during my time at TVO, I was executive in charge of production on more than a dozen multi platform convergent projects, including Green Heroes, a multi-year, multi platform environmental awareness campaign that moved audiences from inspiration to action with a mobile Challenge App that lets you make positive environmental change in your own home and community. I was the Content and Development lead on tvoparents.com, an all-new original content website for TVO that serves as a popular digital content marketing channel for TVOkids. And I led the complete rebrand and redesign of tvo.org that transformed TVO from being “your grandmother’s sweater” into a digital public media channel that engages audiences in social-issue public education and civic engagement campaigns like Yourvote2011.ca, Mental Health Matters, and Why Poverty?
I’m a firm believer in numbers, specifically ROI. Measuring, analyzing and understanding online behavior leads to deeper understanding of your target audience, which and leads to the production of more effective content and ultimately a deeper relationship with your audience.
At Q Media I worked on a web series called PULL exploring how technology is changing the engagement organizations are having with their stakeholders. Interviewees included health care gurus working with wearable tech, Content Strategy guru Margot Bloomstein, Don Tapscott, and Henry Jenkins.
One of the best fringe benefits of having done 10 years of acting and improv training is that I am a comfortable and experienced public speaker and workshop facilitator. I’ve run workshops with as few as 6 people on social media, communications, and pitching; strategic planning and focus groups with more than a dozen participants; and change-making unconferences with over a hundred attendees.
BIG fan growing up on the classic TV show you were on, YCDTOT.
And so wonderful to see you working on your dream projects.
I look forward to following your blogs and when you have time, check out our Anti-bullying project, ZUG THE FRIENDLY ORC, at the website I added.
Your stuff looks quite cool! Are you a fan of Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli? If not you might enjoy his work.
Stumbled upon this while doing some research on Canada’s War of 1812 bicentennial celebrations (kind of like the Kevin Bacon linkage game- one Canadian link led to another, etc.). As a kid loved watching You Can’t Do That On Television. Come to think of it, you were probably the first female television host I ever remember seeing. Glad to see you are well and pursuing projects that reflect your spirit. Thanks for the memories Moose!
Really cool to grow up watching you on YCDTOT!
It’s wonderful to see some classic tv shows coming to life on dvd (better yet, blu-ray). It’s a shame “You Can’t Do That On Television” hasn’t been released, though. I’ve been wondering for years why not and thought maybe you have as well.
Stumbled across this page while looking surfing down memory lane.
I believe I had forgotten about you and your character until I saw a pic…..then….wow….the floodgates open.
I loved the show and I had a crush on you……what great and amazing memories. You were a part of our lives, we felt like we were a part of yours.
Thank you and I hope you are blessed with cherished memories like the ones you provided.
Wow! Moose of You Can’t Do That on TV fame!
Memories came back when I checked out some recent Barth Burger funnies on Youtube.
You had great tolerance for water, slime and milk downpour abuse.
One wonders if trigger words like “Water” or “I Don’t Know” would be banned. HAHA!
It’s good to know what former actors/actresses are doing after TV shows we saw in the 80’s!
Enjoy your many years to come.
Hi Christine. I was showing my 4 kids your show and telling them the funny story about how my best friend and I auditioned at Lester B. years ago and how my very funny friend was picked to go on to the real auditions at the studio. I always remembered you as very talented and so funny, and really treasured our friendship as children. I remember going to the first taping and being so proud that you were chosen. So I was quite puzzled and hurt to say the least to see your recollection of the story. Perhaps you didn’t really remember me as well as I remember you but I had no training in ballet or drama and did not have any anger or jealousy about not being picked. If anything I would say it was a big relief as I was quite shy. In any case I hope that life has treated you well and that you are happy.
Hi Susan! Where did you see my recollection of the story?? It may not have been my recollection; there is a fair bit of “lore” out there and I know that I have read things that I definitely don’t remember that way, and that I know I never said happened that way. I don’t believe I have ever said you had taken drama or ballet, cuz I do remember that you didn’t, and I also of course remember you were not jealous of me nor were you even a jealous person at all! I hope you’re well too!
you cant do that on television. they can be down loaded on to any I pad or laptop very easily.
I grew up with YCDTOT. With Nick At Nite and PBS you guys were my babysitters and a vital part of what I would consider a well rounded and healthy upbringing.
It was you and Les that made that show.
I was such a fan of your work on YCDOTOT and would love the chance to interview you about your time on that show, but also talk with you about your digital media company and what you have going on right now. I look forward to hearing from you.
I recently rediscovered YCDTOT online, watched a few episodes, and remembered why I liked it so much back in the 80s… Anywho. back in the 80s, I used to wonder how you got the nickname “Moose”(although I did learn the reason while looking up information on the show), you just didn’t seem to me to be someone who would have that nickname. I do have one question for you, if you don’t mind me asking, if back in the day, if you could have done an episode were you got to choose your co-stars, who would you have chosen?
I grew up watching you on YCDTOTV and 14 year old me would be very upset with me if he knew that I had the means to communicate with you and didn’t leave a comment professing the mastodonic crush he has on you.
Of course I explained to him that leaving such a comment on here wouldn’t likely be well received and, perhaps, could come off as a bit creepy. But he persisted, so here I am. My apologies. He’s quite socially awkward and I don’t know if…. oh… right. I forgot about the slime thing.
Thank you for enduring this drivel and have a great day!
Today, I was watching an ad for the Kids Choice TV awards on Nick. The whole ad revolved around people getting slimed in different ways which all started from YCDTOT. Its funny how this running gag from YCDTOT stills lives on Nick. I thought my Nick days were behind me until I remarried. I have a 4 and 6 year old daughter who watch Nick.
I see they did a reboot of Boy Meets World which is now Girl Meets World with some of the actors from the original show. I think Nick is ready for a reboot of YCDTOT. You should pitch the idea and direct it and of course show up in some episodes for fans like us who loved you in the original.
I was a big fan of YCDTOTV when I was a kid – we didn’t get to see it often, since we had peasant vision, and fighting for cable TV control at Gran’s amongst 10 kids was an arduous task at best – but the impression it made was long lasting.
I had loved you on the show – always had – and when I mentioned it to my dad the other day he replied, “Best show on television. Their host, finest in the business. She was phenomenal.” I have to agree – I had stars in my eyes for you as a kid! And I cannot believe my dad remembered you – that says something, he can’t even get MY name right on a good day.
Anyway, that’s a long winded way of saying I always thought you were awesome and admired you – then here this morning I decided to look you up on social media and discovered, we’re in the same business!!! I couldn’t believe it. Was super cool to discover that I had accidentally followed the steps of someone I looked up to as a kid. Makes me just a little bit prouder to be a part of this industry.
Then got taken away by police then it was over.
What was that film called???
I grew up on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel in the 80s. I must’ve sat through every episode of YCDTOT a hundred times or more. I’m in my 40’s now, and stumbled onto your blog here by accident.
I hope you’re not embarrassed by me saying this, but you were one of my two main “puberty crushes” as I entered my teenaged years, the other being Diane Franklin’s French exchange student character in the film Better Off Dead, both quirky self reliant girls with cute cheeks and curly dark hair, go figure.
I’m married with a teenaged son now. My wife is a short, dark haired, highly intelligent, sassy smart @$$ with a bit of a tomboyish streak and a mischievous tendency towards practical jokes. Coincidence?
At any rate, just wanted to say hello and thank you for being there every day to cheer me up when I got home from school. I was a “latch key” kid, as both my parents worked, so you were the closest thing to a babysitter I had lol.
Just wanted to say hi from another fan from the 80’s. I actually discovered the show back 1986 or so. As a big fan of Monty Python and sketch comedy I guess I use to enjoy it even if it was aimed at people 10 years younger than me. I think I had a bit of a crush on you as well, but all that time I thought you were much younger than me when it turns out you are a few years older. Lol… well we didn’t have the Internet back then too google celebs.
I remember watching some of those episodes starring you and the cast of YCDTOTV while in late high school and into my early college years (yes, I should have been studying, I know…). I must say you had a certain allure that kept my attention at the time ;). I stumbled upon this web site while searching upon names and events of my early adulthood and it makes me remember those years fondly. I am 52 and a father of 2 grown girls who have sadly left the nest. I read that you have 3 children of your own and I sincerely hope that the parental experience has been a rewarding one like mine. It would be cool and noteworthy if you could reprise your role as “Moose” in some form in the future. I would certainly tune in!
There was something I always wondered about You Can’t Do That On Television. It seemed like the kids (and especially YOU) would often be shown drinking coffee (pouring themselves a cup during the “coffee break” segments .In the “Strike Now” episode you were REALLY wanting a cup but Ross wouldn’t let you have it because you were on strike! In the Pop music episode Allister makes you dump you cup of coffee on yourself and there’s a bunch of other coffee drinking instances for you in the show. I was curious if that was supposed to be a joke by the writers, like a “this show is so negligent of it’s kids that it allows them to drink coffee” or if you guys really were just drinking coffee because you wanted it. I just thought it stood out because it was a lot less common for kids to be drinking coffee back in the 80’s. Let me know if you get a chance and thanks for all the years of entertainment!
1) What’s the capital of Canada?
2) How many fish are in it?
I am a big fan of yours. I would love to get a autographed picture of you. Can you please tell me where can I send you a SASE? I hope to hear from you real soon.
Hi Christine. I just wanted to tell you thank you for introducing me to the world of comedy as a kid with your antics on YCDOT.
I love reading all your tech stuff as well.
Thanks for the memories. You are very blessed to be a person who has a made an impact on our world in many ways. Your time on YCDTOTV has brought laughter and good times and created great memories for so many. Your work in digital media and now with your own business, you have much to be thankful for.
I watched the show in the early 80s and I didn’t like it in 86 when you left. I also didn’t get the jokes about your appearance. But I guess I was bias, one of many pre teen/early teen crushes from the 80s. You also did another television show where you wore glasses and was supposed to be a “nerdy” girl or something.
We’ve never met and stumbled across you through Google. I was looking into my ancestry (we’re not related) and I stumbled across your name and DOB. Amazing coincidence – we were born 1 day a part in the same year with the same sir name. Funny happenstance. Be well.
I am also a Gen X-er who totally grew up on MTV and Nickelodeon in the early 80’s. Was just strolling down amnesia lane and found this site. Having grown up way down south in South Carolina it was always “funny” how you Canadians talked. Couldn’t figure out why y’all talked so funny. haha Anywho… great memories of watching You Can’t Do That On Television. You were by far the coolest cast member and I seem to recall several times as a child pretending to be Moose in front of the mirror. I also had a crush on Kevin Kubechesckie (can’t begin to know how to spell that one!) So thanks for the great laughs and now memories from your show!
Moooooose! Sorry, can’t help it. You’ll always be Moose to me. I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I am trying to figure out. Someone told me that “H2O” stood for something but I’m still struggling to figure it out. Could you help answer that questions for me?

A man who launched a hate mail campaign against a minister at a Glasgow cathedral has been sentenced to community service.
Damon Jonah Kelly was ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work through a Community Payback Order after sentencing at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Kelly, 57, sent a series of messages to the the Provost of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth.
The messages targeted Mr Holdsworth, branding gay people as the "devil's droppings".
The most serious of the messages urged the minister to hang himself.
The letters were sent following a reading from the Qur'an in the cathedral at an event at which Muslims and Christians shared their traditions about the birth of Jesus.
Following the sentencing, Mr Holdsworth said: "I warmly welcome the sentencing of Mr Kelly today. No-one should have to face this kind of intimidation. There are no circumstances where it is ever appropriate to send such threatening material through the post.
"These letters had a negative impact on many people including office staff and many members of the congregation.
"At one time, it would have been difficult to get the police to take this kind of thing seriously. Now, that isn't the case and I could not speak more highly of the way that Police Scotland have dealt with this case.
"St Mary's Cathedral remains an Open, Inclusive and Welcoming congregation which welcomes LGBT people and seeks to build goodwill with other people of faith.
"We stand against homophobia, transphobia and Islamophobia.
"I'm thankful for the good wishes from both Christians and Muslims in connection with this and am pleased that the case is now concluded."
Kelly, from Westray in Orkney was convicted of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner between 30 January 2017 and February 2017 the same year.
The court found that the messages were aggravated by prejudice in respect of sexual orientation and transgender identity.
