Super foods are 'in'. People are going mad for all sorts of things from gogi berries to maca powder and cacao nibs. However, I was really taken aback when someone said their diet club had told them that pasta is a super food; it is not.
So what makes something a super food? 2 things. Firstly, it will have an unusually high nutrient content; things like vitamins, minerals, enzymes or good fats. Secondly, the nutrients will be in a form that the body can easily absorb and use. This is called bio-availability. I have some videos on different superfoods here (scroll down through top tips and testimonials to get to the superfood series).
Take the avocado, a true super food. This pear-shaped fruit is packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and good fats. I base my breakfast smoothie on avocado. They're also great as part of a salad. Contrast this with pasta which is just wheat starch. Like bread or Yorkshire pudding, it's 'padding' with only a bit of protein, a few minerals, hardly any vitamins and no good fat. It will cause weight gain without boosting your health.
I'm quarter Italian and enjoy pasta as much as the next person but I eat no more than a handful in a meal. After all, in Italy pasta is not a main dish, it's a starter. And what is this bizarre Cumbrian custom of serving lasagne with chips? That's adding padding to more padding. Instead, have it with a large, mixed salad, dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
The goodness has diminished drastically in our modern diet. Super foods can help to fill the gap and give you a boost but a few gogi berries won't make up for a poor diet. Build a solid foundation and always aim to eat well.
Top tip – Use super foods to enhance a good diet.
The Eat Well Gang got together in November for a special Jackie's Gee Up, led by Paul Heslop, juicing enthusiast. Since doing the Eat for a Better Life course, juicing has been a regular activity in the Heslop household and they've reaped the benefits in great health. See Paul's testimonial video here.
You can juice many fruits and vegetables. For health, it's best to concentrate on veg with just a little fruit to take away the bitter taste. Wheatgrass featured prominently on our night and was combined with vegetables and fruits giving a range of flavours. See Paul in action on the videos page under superfoods.
In the New Year, I'll be challenging my readers to make green juices. Christmas is coming soon, so if you don't have a juicer perhaps some kind person might buy one for you as a present.
The long dark nights, wind and rain confirm that we are heading into winter. All around me, people are coming down with coughs and colds. In spite of their generosity in sharing – I don't want one! Do you?
Did you know that most of your immune system is in your gut? Your susceptibility to disease can be affected by what you eat and drink. So when my husband came down with a cold, I reached for echinacea, wheatgrass and vegetable juices and coconut oil. Then I cooked up some of James Wong's special chicken soup for colds including garlic, ginger, chillies. Effective and delicious.
To strengthen your immune system, eat more:
Vegetables – they give you lots of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants plus fibre to feed the good bacteria in your gut.
Coconut oil – has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.
Sugar – it feeds bad bacteria, unbalancing your system.
Processed food – you want your body to fight infection, not use all its energy fighting bad food.
Other tips:
Eat right for your metabolic type (I can test if you don't know)
Get lots of sleep to make the powerful anti-oxidant melatonin.
Exercise, especially out in the fresh air (but not vigorously once you have a cold).
Give up smoking.
Manage stress.
Top tip: Eat well to protect your health.
"We stand, in most places on earth, only 6 inches from desolation, for that is the thickness of the topsoil layer upon which the entire life of the planet depends." (R Neil Sampson)
Usually the only magazines I buy are The Big Issue and a TV guide but recently I bought an issue of Country Life because HRH The Prince of Wales was guest editor. He has run Duchy Home Farm organically for 30 years and he understands farming.
One topic Prince Charles wrote about was soil. Research by University of Sheffield suggested that the nutrients in the soil will run out in 100 seasons if we carry on as we are. Other researchers think 60 years unless we start to reintroduce more sustainable practices now. Forty percent of the world's agricultural soil is now classified as either degraded or seriously degraded (meaning that 70% of the topsoil is gone). Our soil is being lost at 10 to 40 times the rate it can be replenished. In some parts of the world over-intensive farming has created desert.
Growing plants use 60 minerals and trace minerals which they draw from the soil. Artificial fertilisers do not replace all these trace elements; they focus on three that make plants grow quickly and give high yield: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Sadly this means that the mineral content of our food is reducing. Animals and people need diverse minerals. As the soil becomes depleted, we can suffer from deficiencies that affect our health.
We often see farmers muck-spreading in Cumbria; it gives the land 'heart'. Don't moan about the smell, rejoice in the goodness going back into the soil!
Top tips – support our good local farmers.
As you know by now, I'm keen for people to eat the way nature intended – of which more next month. But this time I'm going against that philosophy to tell you about something we were definitely not designed to eat. Why? The nutrient levels in our food have reduced and with the way that we live nowadays, it can be good to treat our bodies to a bit of a boost.
There are several 'Super-foods' we can eat to fill the nutritional gap and for me the king of them all is wheatgrass juice. I call it liquid gold (actually it isn't gold, it's bright green!) Full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and chlorophyll, each 2oz shot packs a mighty punch. When I drink it regularly, I feel more alive. It's as if my brightness control has been turned up.
I haven't come across any juice bars where I live, so how do you get some? I think it's best fresh so I prefer to grow my own wheatgrass and juice it myself.
If you don't fancy the faff of the DIY route, there are companies that sell it in different forms. Some supply the juice frozen in little pots, others sell it pressure treated in pouches which don't need to be kept cold. There are also dried powders and pills but you're unlikely to get the full enzyme benefit from these.
Is there any downside to this wonder drink? Sadly, it tastes awful! We don't have the digestive machinery to eat grass so we naturally dislike the taste. Juicing is a cunning way to squeeze out the goodness and leave the cellulose behind in the pulp. I add other vegetables and fruits to the juice to make it more palatable.
If you want to know more, visit the wheatgrass page on this website and watch the video of Paul creating a delicious 'salad in a glass'.
Top tip: Treat yourself to a super-food boost with wheatgrass juice.

In the early 1980s, my mum bought the Snoopy Tennis Nintendo Game & Watch; twenty years on it was mine. I loved it: the two games were simple but challenging and I was good at them, and it looked great. The visuals consisted of black images that looked like they had been stamped into the screen against a half-assed colour background, and if you tilted it the right way against the light you could see the shadows of all of the game elements mapped out perfectly. The liquid crystal display allowed only for pre-defined movement with very satisfyingly limited animation. It was so simple, but brought two generations a lot of joy.

Today's extract from HIT BRANDS describes the ongoing process of managing the identity of the brand in sound across time, territory and touchpoint.
Throughout the history of humanity, people have been using music to identify ideas and beliefs, tribes, teams and nations. Music is a natural phenomenon; a unifying love and language with deeper and more emotional meaning than any other, so it must come as no surprise that whenever and wherever a brand seeks to identify itself, music should be at the centre of that identity.
This chapter is not the only place to learn about how music forms a part of a brand's identity. It is not the only section of this book that deals with the subject because, semantically, everything a brand ever does with music contributes in some way to its identity. But to make things clear, this section deals in the first instance with the corporate identity of a brand and examines how music lines up alongside colours, shapes, typography and iconography within a brand's register of assets.
Corporate Identity
By way of introduction, it is worth laying out what corporate identity really is, what it does and why it is important. Sam Sampson, the branding guru, described corporate identity to me as the first stage of any relationship between a corporation and the consumer. He understood that the core components of an identity are the things the consumer can see or hear, and that the written or spoken name of a brand is the most important element of the corporate identity.
Naming has always been critical to defining a brand. In fact, the New Oxford English Dictionary defines a brand as 'a type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name'. This rather dry definition of a brand highlights the importance of names and it is fairly clear to see that without one, no brand has an identity. When we are considering music as forming a part of a brand's identity, therefore, we have to consider how and where the brand name fits with the music.
Taking a logical step forward, it's fair to say that any name exists not simply as a metaphysical entity but as a real word that can be written or spoken. The written word has always been the dominant form of corporate identity and, as printing and design have progressed through the years, the visual styles within which the words have been written have become ever more complex and emotionally nuanced.
Myfonts.com, which boldly makes the claim to host the world's largest collection of fonts, has well over 100,000 typefaces freely available. Each of these has a subtle but discernable difference that may be used to convey a distinct emotional driver of a brand when viewed in print or on screen. There are 2058 different colours defined in the Pantone Goe System. Pantone developed their original system of standardized colours to facilitate the printing industry's desire for consistent reproduction, and today Pantone sets the global standard. We live in a colourful world and I struggle to think of any brand that is solely black and white but even if you can, there are 34 whites and over 70 different blacks from which to choose.
So, here's an amazing equation. For even the simplest brand to express itself visually through printing its single colour font, on a single colour background, there are 423,536,400,000 possible combinations. That is a staggering number of options, so it is no wonder that most people these days go for a simple sans serif, if only to narrow the choices to something like a manageable number. With too many choices we become paralyzed, which is perhaps why so many brands choose to copy others rather than stand out from the crowd. Helvetica, anyone?
A mark of distinction
If the number of choices within corporate identity have exploded, it is also fair to say that the sheer number of entities seeking an identity has also gone through the roof and into the stratosphere. While the proliferation of brands has been a hot topic since I started in advertising 20 years ago, the truth is that we didn't know how fortunate we were to be in a world where new brands launched every month. Today they launch every hour, in their hundreds, via digital market places and 'app stores' where corporate identity real estate is a small icon, a name, some meta-data and, most critically, user reviews. Very few of these new offerings gain any major recognition and in many respects the app market is a direct descendent of the music industry. There are lots of contenders, very few hits and while every app - just as every artist - has an identity, very few of them could go on to be called brands.
So what is a brand and how does 'being a brand' differ from simply 'having an identity'? This is a topic on which libraries of books have been written, so here is a little synthesis and synopsis. Brandsare our emotional responses to the products and services that we are offered and consume. A subtle point here is often lost on the more arrogant executives; the brand's value is ours, as customers and stakeholders. We decide how we feel and despite the whistle blower Martin Lindstrom claiming we are all being emotionally 'manipulated; it is more a case of the adage that the 'truth will out'. Companies can project their identities onto the world but only their customers can decide what the brand really means to them, how they will react to it and how loyal they want to be.
In this context, a brand's identity is really a small part of the brand as a whole. It is an important part, nonetheless, acting as a signpost to where we can find the brands we love. The identity has the same functional needs as any traditional signpost. It must be clear and point only in one direction. But in our age, when we exist in so many physical and digital dimensions that we can no longer be certain of which way is up or down, just writing the name of a place on a white arrow is no longer enough to differentiate an identity and help us navigate to our chosen brands.
Today signposts use color-coding, symbols (as currently being understood through the practice of 'semiotics') and sounds. Each of these works together to create today's multi-dimensional, multi sensorial corporate identities. That those identities have taken on third and fourth dimensions is a common-sense response to having access to the rich media environments afforded by technology today. The downside is that an identity 'arms race' has been created, where every brand is seeking to add more and more dimensions to their identity and consequently the cognitive load upon the consumer is increasing massively. Fortunately, our brains seem well set up to process multi-sensory messages and there is plenty of research that tells us that bi-modal visual-auditory sensory experiences in particular are processed very efficiently by two of my favorite parts of the brain - the superior temporal gyrus and intraparietal sulcus.
It's not brain surgery
Anyone who thinks that neuroscience has anything to teach us about how music can create a 'hit' brand identity needs his or her head examined. I've read the books and conducted experiments using brain imaging during listening, but I'm yet to find out any thing useful when it comes to creating hit musical identities. What I know about creating hits is what I have learned from experience, which is why Eric, Richard and I have made a conscious decision to focus on case studies of work with which we have been personally involved.
In this section, we have two contrasting cases - NESCAFÉ and Barclaycard - both brands with which I have been deeply and personally involved for some years. The reason these brands have taken up years of my life rather than the few weeks it might take to create a mnemonic or jingle is simple. A 'hit' brand identity in music is not a one-off project. It is an ongoing process of managing the identity of the brand in sound, across time, territory and touchpoint. It encompasses not just the design of musical 'signposts' but the soundtracks to TV commercials, video content, physical devices, apps and any other digital media where sound is enabled and the brand has a presence.
So while this section starts in corporate identity, the reality of music as identity is that it relies heavily on a brand's communications- ads and content - to become real, to live and breathe and ultimately to be a 'hit'. So let's be under no illusion, it is the ad agencies that still control the method of creating brand hits. They are trusted with the most critical creative processes that put music into a customer's ears via the media, without whose support musical identities cannot exist. This is why it is such a shame that ad agencies are the last major business area to embrace the music planning approach, the final piece in the jigsaw to support a strategic use of music and the development of musical assets for a brand.
I'll know it when I hear it
The worst excesses of the ad industry, the deepest seated issues they have in their lack of process or governance, the basest of their instincts and the greatest of their strengths are summed up in this simple phrase. 'I'll know it when I hear it' has become the greatest cliche of the music-brand relationship with regard to advertising music. Ad agencies have used this truth - we'll all know it when we hear it - to avoid having to engage with the concept of music planning, which is usually deemed to be creatively inhibiting.
Consequently, the last ten years of growth in sonic branding have mainly taken place outside the ad agency, in independent businesses, servicing the brand directly. While this was a shame for the early mover music planning agencies - ad agency support could have really accelerated the growth of ideas - it is now becoming apparent that things are getting better. There is a new cordiality between ad agencies and those with music identity processes, as music has ceased to be a universal joy in the ad process and has become expensive, in terms of both money and time, in relation to other production elements.
More important to this new, peaceful relationship is the advent of musical identities and strategies that are in line with the core associ ations of building value into brand assets, at the same time showing sympathy to the difficulties of the communications process. Given how mired the advertising process has become in the complexities of the consumer and media landscape, it is still a minor miracle any ad ever sees the light of day. The reliance upon testing and research has arguably gone too far with many major advertisers (arguably not far enough with others) and the difficulty for a creative team to con jure a new line or a new positioning is now greater than it has ever been. It is natural then that any process (such as sonic branding) that removes one level of complexity and delivers the framework for high levels of creativity should begin to be embraced.
What is a hit identity?
The successful signpost is clear and points in one direction. So it is with musical identity. The listener should recognize what they hear, and understand the brand to which the identity refers. All great sonic branding ticks these two boxes and can be measured through two simple questions to listeners: do you recognize this sound? And can you tell us the brand with which it is associated? Hit identities can and should be measured and valued through these foundational research questions. Think of any jingle or mnemonic and it will score really well with these questions. For a long time in the history of advertising, good recall and a link to the brand were the only measures that mattered - in fact they drove a lot of behaviours that resulted in the overwhelming popularity of the jingle as an advertising trick of the trade. But recall and association, though fundamental, are not the only measures of a hit musical identity. They are simply functional benefits of having a well-designed 'ear worm' (from the German Ohrwurm) and being able to afford or having access to enough listener impacts to embed the worm in the ear.
The next level of judging a hit has to be aesthetic and emotional. The measure of the emotional impact of the musical identity can best be summed up through the research questions: 'Do you like this music?' and 'What does it make you feel?'
If the answer is that the music is liked and that the feelings are in line with the objectives of the brand, then we start to have some thing really special - a musical identity that is no longer a signpost, simply pointing at a destination, but is now also a symbol for some of the ideas of the brand. This is much more powerful, as a system of symbols can be used flexibly and can be taken out of context while retaining meaning. Most importantly, musical symbols, just like their graphic equivalent, work perfectly well without syntax. This makesa musical symbol capable of meaning the same thing across the globe, whereas the jingle or sung copy does not travel nearly as well.
When designing the musical identity for brands, I start with the aim of creating a set of musical symbols that are clear, recognizable, have the ability to be inextricably linked to the brand and share the brand's emotional context. This is not a simple task and it is not always understood at the beginning of a process how this varies from developing a functional mnemonic or simply finding a good piece of music for an ad. Given that you're reading this far, you may be interested to understand the difference, so I shall explain a little.
Mnemonics are easy
Musical mnemonics, of the kind asked for by clients and (in modern times) reluctantly delivered by ad agencies, are empty vessels. They shout 'Remember me!' at the listener but do not, intrinsically, have anything worth remembering. As far as briefs go for the musical identity, 'write me a mnemonic' is entry level - it just about gets you a ticket but don't expect to see the show from way back there in the bleachers.
A mnemonic - a device designed to aid memory - in the context of music usually manifests in one of three ways: a jingle, a sung ad copy or a sting. For the avoidance of doubt, a jingle rhymes, sung ad copy doesn't and a sting has no copy at all. An arch example of a rhyming jingle would be 'For Mash Get Smash' from the UK in the 1970s. Of the hundreds of examples of sung-cop y mnemonics, I'd cite Tm Loving It' from McDonald's and, finally, Intel Inside is the classic sting. Creating any of these devices is not terribly hard. Being memorable is something that music just 'does' without too much effort. The only real consideration, assuming that the creative has the correct 'craft' as songwriter or composer, is the difficulty in getting a brand's many stakeholders to sign off and agree on the ideal mnemonic. Of course, I am totally in favor of a brand's music or sound being memorable. It's just that I, along with other right minded thinkers in music planning, believe that the music should do more - that memorability is not the sole aim and purpose.
The future for mnemonics is already here and it is audible in sounds such as the iPhone 'swoosh' that signals an email being sent. You can also read about it in the Barclaycard case study in this book. The next-generation mnemonics work across touchpoints and their main purpose is to signify some kind of function or meaning. In the case of the 'swoosh' it is a successfully sent email; in the case of Barclaycard, a successful payment. Memorability is something inherent in the sounds but it is a secondary concern to the sounds being linked to things that happen in 'the real or digital worlds. When a sound has utility, it is more easily accepted by the listener - being useful is always a good thing. If a brand can own the sound of a function (as Apple does with a sent email) they may have a serious hit on their hands. Only a few brands are trying to achieve this but innovation has a long nose and we can see it coming!
Music is easy!
Finding the perfect soundtrack for an ad, or any other singular expression of a brand, is easy - comparatively easy, of course, but the numbers stack up. There are tens of millions of songs available, they're all searchable by lyrics and genres via web platforms, and picking one that will appeal to the majority of stakeholders is not that difficult when compared to what's really hard. So why do communications agencies make such a song and dance about it? Why is music so often a pain point rather than a pure pleasure? Part of the answer is cultural. Agencies view music as relating to a single communication instead of being a part of the brand identity. This is because most brands have not taught their agencies that the development of identity and assets is of paramount importance. If they did, then music would not be leased and returned on an endless cycle but would be commissioned and owned.
Ownership of music is an intrinsic element of building a music identity. You cannot lease or borrow your own corporate identity, which means either brands must start with a clean sheet and com mission new compositions and acquire all rights, or they must find pieces of music that are 'ownable'. This is what Nokia did when it created the Nokia tune and then through repeated use of time, territory and touchpoint it built the case for 'owning' the piece through a musical trademark. Nokia stands as one of the few brands in the world to have understood how to develop a musical identity and it continues to lead the industry on consistency and identity management. Its case study is well placed within the music as identity section of this book (see Chapter 4). Even though Nokia has made great efforts through the years to establish music as a part of its brand experience and as currency, its only true hit has been the Nokia tune. But was it an intentional hit or a happy accident?
Hit brand identities are hard
We are writing this book for people who want to create hits and this section is for those who want hit brand identities. It makes sense, therefore, to include as a case study the biggest hit with which we have been involved. Over 24 months and with enormous input from our client, CORD Worldwide has developed and launched the musical identity for NESCAFE. The work has, at the time of writing, launched in more than 30 countries and is well on its way to achieving its aim: to make the NESCAFE musical identity the most famous five notes on the planet. That I have personally overseen this work is a matter of pride. That it is successful is down to the team and the method of execution, and I need to be clear and say that nothing about the process was easy. It involves the use of functional and aesthetic sounds and is deeply rooted in the heritage of the brand. It is rapidly developing as an archetype of next-generation music planning, with central ownership and development of assets, together with de-centralized ownership of communications and nuance. We hope that in reading this case study you may be inspired to create your own hit identity to rival NESCAFÉ's.

Top 5 Questions to Prepare for in a Marketing Job Interview
By Jimmy Cassells on September 9, 2015
I've lost count of how many people I've interviewed for my own marketing company, Spiralytics. But interviewees that impressed me? Those are the ones that I will never forget even after years of going through piles of resumes.
While interviews with marketing companies will vary depending on the interviewer and the services offered by the company, the questions all boil down to figuring out if a candidate is perfect for the job – skills and personality-wise.
It's not just a matter of having the right skills and personality, we also look for people who are passionate about marketing. That's why we're also open to hiring fresh graduates who have little to no experience in marketing.
If you're keen to starting a career in marketing or want to level up by joining a new one, here's a cheat sheet on how you can best answer the top 5 questions that marketing companies ask during job interviews.
1. What type of challenges are you looking for in this marketing position?
This question is usually asked to determine what you're looking for in a job and whether you are the best fit for the position. Remember, a job must be able to challenge you in all ways possible yet will motivate you to learn and do things even better.
To answer this question, it would be best to convey that challenges motivate you and that you have the ability to meet them adequately. This shows that you are flexible and that you have the skills necessary to handle the job.
You can further give particular challenges you've faced in the past and how you were able to overcome them.
2. What types of marketing campaigns have you done in the past?
This question is asked to see if your work experience can be beneficial to the position you are applying for and this is your chance to showcase your accomplishments.
Some interviewees make the mistake of giving general answers and vague answers regarding their accomplishments. Although this can be informative, it will not be as useful to the interviewer.
Be as specific as you can by citing particular companies you've worked for, the marketing campaigns you've been part of, and your contributions to the project.
3. Can you tell me about a marketing campaign you've done that did not work out as planned?
You might think that interviewers ask this question to determine if you're competent or not. But, it looks more into how you have grown from the experience and how you have learned from your mistakes.
Do not be defensive in answering this question, rather, be humble and take accountability for your mistakes. You can give concrete examples of past mistakes but highlight what you did to rectify them and make the campaigns more successful.
4. Which one of our products or services appeals most to you and why?
The interviewer will try to see if you have done your research about the company, their products, and services. Knowing these things beforehand will enable you to identify successful brands and share your thoughts about their marketing campaigns.
This not only shows that you came prepared but also indicates how serious you are in becoming part of the company.
5. If you were a brand, which one would you be and why?
This provides an opportunity for you to market and differentiate yourself from the rest of the applicants. However, take note that interviewers asking this question are also looking to see whether you are only seeking to build a personal brand to advance your own career, rather than being interested in helping their marketing team build a stronger brand.
To answer this question, provide an excellent example of a strong brand and identify its strengths. Relate these strengths to your personal characteristics and how these can help the company grow.
Ideally, companies prefer candidates who choose their brand based on exceptional service, teamwork, and helping the company become a success.
Knowing what to expect in a marketing job interview and being well-prepared increases your chances of getting hired. Be sure to consider these common questions alongside others, so that you can ace that interview and land that dream marketing job.

Gary and his sister probably do this a lot.
Got rejection notices from the Japan programs I've signed up for. Then I got sick and stuff. I think this was the first time I've really put my all into getting accepted into something and still failed, so the blow hurt really hard even though I technically knew better if this were to happen.
The situation with work sapping too much of my energy to focus on comics anymore hasn't changed at all, so i wouldn't call this update the end of a long hiatus. Just something that took me three scattered weekends to complete.
My hopes and plans are still there for a near future where I can make weekly comics, commissions, and merchandise again while working part-time can pay the bills. Let this not be a negative post.

Limmud FSU… oh where do I start!
I attended a Limmud conference for the first time in December 2015, which took place in a beautiful resort in Blue Mountain. Where have I been this whole time??? I am now an official fan! Let me tell you-the Limmud experience is truly one of a kind- aside from creating a sense of belonging and a warm feeling of community (now let's be honest, this is one of the most valued things in the Gola), Limmud had introduced me to the great members of this community and their own individual influence. The lectures were a true Limmud- enlightening, interesting and captivating. Each speaker is so passionate about their area of expertise, that it is inevitable to become mesmerized by their great energy and passion. It was an opportunity for me to network and create connections amongst the community members, learn about diverse topics and different perspectives, and take part in this absolutely magnificent way of celebrating our heritage and roots.
But Limmud had also changed my life, in a way I never expected. Being an Early Childhood Education student and a mother, I decided to attend Victoria Prooday's lecture, about the influences of screen time on children's behaviour and development. I came into the lecture one person and came out of it a completely different one. Victoria's lecture was fascinating- her approach towards the topic, and her passion towards children's success and mental health drew me in. I observed her being such a great advocate for what she believes in , and thought to myself, "That is who I want to be!". I had always had a passion for children and at that moment, I felt that the pieces of the puzzle had just come all together! I immediately contacted her to find a supportive, guiding individual. She answered my million (literally) questions regarding the field, her study pathway and advised me on how to get on the right train to success. I will forever be thankful for her support and this was definitely the highlight of this Limmud for me.
I urge you join the next Limmud! You never know who you may encounter, what kind of unique experience you may have, and what role Limmud may take in your future- but one thing I can tell you for sure- you will become a huge fan like myself, and will wait eagerly for every Limmud event! See you there!

This girl was so excited, it was adorable! And the groom was sufficiently nervous, which was also adorable.
Then watch the video below. The exact same events are portrayed, but there is a certain richness present, and I would like to think that you're left with a strong impression of the emotions of the moment. Video has 30 frames per second, so in a way you could say that this short clip contains 3,450 photos.
You get to see Davi turn around toward my camera and grin widely at me; she really couldn't contain her excitement. The "hide and seek" lyrics are a playful and subtle nod to the "reveal" concept. I love how we get to just follow alongside Davi as she walks toward her groom, with the bushes sliding past and the anticipation building. We get to see Jonathan inhaling nervously (in Super 8, which creates an interesting contrast to the crisp digital video). When he turns around you can hear Davi squeal. And then a few moments later you hear Davi exclaim, "We're getting married!" These are all things that video can offer and it makes me so thrilled to be able to use this amazing medium to capture and present people's most cherished moments. Not to mention how important these moments will be in 20 or 50 years to future generations. Really, just imagine being able to watch your grandfather horse around with his best buddies, or your grandmother hug her mom as a little girl for the last time. Priceless.
*Update: I just received this heartwarming email from Davi. I think she really "gets" video so I wanted to share it here:
"We received the DVD tonight and just finished watching it. I don't even know what or how to say what I am feeling. It was absolutely the best decision we made about the whole day. I cannot believe how you captured our special moments and such thought went into the music and special effects. I loved loved loved the video. Vanessa, you have such an amazing talent...we literally got to see the wedding from another point of view and it was amazing. Also, with my obsessive personality (haha) I have been really stressing and having a hard time letting go the fact that I got sick in the middle of the wedding and that we missed some of the pictures because of it. You put my mind at ease....everyone really had a good time and I don't even think you could tell I was sick!
Thank you so much for all you have done. I wish I could say something more effective or witty and clever....I am just literally so happy right now all I can think of is "thank you." I cannot wait for my children's children to watch it, and to know that my precious parents and grandparents will forever be preserved on that little
round piece of plastic made by you is priceless."

Northwest Cabarrus' Rob Bain is proud of his performance last year, when he claimed South Piedmont Conference Pitcher of the Year honors while helping the Trojans win a share of the conference title.
That's why the senior hopes to pick up right where he left off.
"I don't want to get complacent," he said. "I want to keep working hard. After a season like that people might get lazy, but I don't want to do that."
The 6-foot Bain isn't a power pitcher, instead focusing on his location to beat his opponents. The lefthander's change-up, his main off-speed pitch, and his improving curve ball can give opposing batters problems.
Northwest Cabarrus coach Joe Hubbard said that's what makes Bain, who had an 8-3 record for the Trojans last season, so effective.
"He's sneaky quick. He can get on you because you have to worry about his off-speed pitches, which he's able to spot up so well," said Hubbard. "Rob gets ahead on the count, he works the batters so they will hit the pitches he wants."
But Bain credits his teammates for his success.
"I couldn't do it without a good defense to back me up," said Bain. "I get a lot of groundballs."
The Trojans started 8-8 last year before closing the season by winning 13 of their last 15 games, which was good enough for Northwest to share the regular season SPC title with Mount Pleasant.
Bain admits last year's run was surprising.
"I knew we had a good team going into the season, but I didn't expect the season to go quite that well," the 18-year-old said.
Bain said last year's seniors, including fellow lefty pitching ace Taylor West and Justin Seager, had a lot to do with that turnaround, but without them this year, Bain knows he will have to take on a leadership role.
"We're different than last year's team - we're younger - but if we continue to practice hard, we could be as good as last year, if not better," he said.
Without West, the spotlight will be on Bain on the mound, although he will have help from right-hander Weston Smith, who was 4-1 last year.
"Weston is a great pitcher, too, and I know if we both do our jobs - like me and Taylor did last year - we'll be fine," said Bain.
Bain said his pitch control, especially his ability to keep the ball down to command the strike zone, has improved after playing for Pineville-based travel team On Deck. He said after a rough summer with the team, his fall went smoothly. He hopes to carry that into his final high school season.
Bain said committing to play baseball at Davidson next year has given him a great sense of relief, which he said is paying off on the mound.
"Now that I'm more relaxed, I'm more confident, my mechanics feel the best they've ever felt," said Bain.
His focus is on finishing his Trojan career on a high note.
"It'd be huge to win back-to-back conference championships," he said. "That's our main goal right now."
Mount Pleasant, behind all-conference pitchers Grayson Atwood and Anthony Allende as well as shortstop Brandon Burris, are again the Trojans' top contenders for an SPC title. Pitcher Zach Andrews and Hickory Ridge should also contend for a conference crown.
"Every time in our conference has very good arms, good pitchers," said Hubbard. "But we have as good of a one-two punch as anyone in the league."
Northwest should be within reach of the title, as Bain and Smith will have the help of all-conference shortstop Corey Seager, a junior who already committed to play at South Carolina, as well as from third baseman Tanner Bigham and outfielder William Miller.
"Our team is real tight," said Bain. "If we play well, we should win conference again and go far in the playoffs."
Hubbard said the Trojans, which he describes as highly intelligent, is capable of reaching those goals, but it won't be easy as the team looks for its identity after losing five seniors from last year.
"We're a very talented team, but I think it's going to take a while for us to gel together and to really start playing," said Hubbard.
"That's what you want, though - you really want to play your best baseball down the stretch. I think this team has a lot to offer."

The APRN Consensus Model is the result of the collaborative work of the APRN Consensus Work Group and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) APRN Advisory Committee with extensive review and comments from the larger APRN stakeholder community. The Consensus Model was developed to promote uniformity in requirements for advanced practice nursing.
LACE (Licensure, Accreditation, Certification, and Education), a communication network that includes licensure, accreditation, certification, and educational organizations that represent the components of APRN regulation, is facilitating the implementation of the APRN Consensus Model with stakeholders interested in advancing uniformity in APRN regulation and requirements.
NCSBN is taking a major role in promoting and assisting state boards of nursing in the adoption of the regulatory components of the APRN Consensus Model. Beginning in 2008 and subsequently, the Ohio Board of Nursing reviewed the APRN Consensus Model and the related NCSBN Model Law and Rules. Below are two grids that provide comparison information about the APRN Consensus Model requirements and the Ohio Nurse Practice Act and administrative rules.

Sub. SB 83 (SB 83) Expanded Authority to Prescribe Schedule II Controlled Substances
SB 83, introduced by Senator Scott Oelslager on February 16, 2011, expanded the authority of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who hold a Certificate to Prescribe (CTP) to prescribe schedule II controlled substances. The bill was signed by Governor Kasich on March 9, 2012 and became effective on June 8, 2012.
As directed by SB 83, the Board adopted rules pertaining to schedule II controlled substances, including prescribing and CE requirements for CTP holders. New Rule 4723-9-13, OAC, addresses the CE requirements and when you renew your CTP, you will be required to verify completion of the continuing education course.
The amended rules in Chapters 4723-8 and 4723-9 became effective on November 5, 2012 to provide ample time for CTP holders to complete the required six hours of continuing education before the renewal cycle ends on August 31, 2013. To review the rules, go to the front page of the web site and click on "Law and Rules".
FAQs answering questions about the new prescribing law and CE requirements are located at the link below. If you have additional questions, please contact the Board at email@example.com.
Am. Sub. HB 93 Pain Management Clinics; OARRS
In May 2011, Governor Kasich signed into law Amended Substitute House Bill 93, sponsored by Representatives David E. Burke, R.Ph., and Dr. Terry Johnson, D.O. Amended Substitute House Bill 93 aggressively focuses on further regulating facilities and prescribers operating as pain management clinics by requiring that the Board of Pharmacy license those clinics. Additionally, the Medical Board must adopt rules establishing standards for physician operation of pain management clinics and standards to be followed by physicians who provide care at pain management clinics. The bill also modifies the operation of OARRS (Ohio Automated Rx Review System), a drug database administered by the Pharmacy Board that is used to monitor the misuse and diversion of controlled substances and other dangerous drugs.Click Here to View the Complete Summary
Rule on Advanced Practice Registered Nurses Primary Source Recertification Documentation
If you are an advanced practice registered nurse, your certificate of authority (COA) is current and valid only if you meet all requirements of the Board including maintaining certification or recertification by the applicable national certifying organization. Please refer to the 'Nursing Practice' page of the Board's website for a list of Board approved national organizations.
Effective February 1, 2011, the Board requires primary source verification for advanced practice registered nurse national recertification. For this to occur, you must request that your national certifying organization notify the Board directly of national recertification within thirty days of your recertification. The Board no longer accepts documentation of recertification from a COA holder.

SAN ANTONIO - A 12-year-old Texas boy who was suspended from school after shaving his head to resemble the face of Spurs forward Matt Bonner scored tickets to a playoff game and props from his favourite NBA player.
Patrick Gonzalez was suspended for a day from Woodlake Hills Middle School because the district deemed his US$75 haircut a distraction. He returned to class Thursday after reluctantly shaving his head.
Gonzalez says Bonner is his favourite player, noting they're both redheads.
Bonner, whose mother is a teacher, says the school could have just moved Gonzalez to the back of the room. Bonner sent Gonzalez a message, saying: "Keep supporting us redheads in the NBA."
Gonzalez's story prompted the Spurs to give him and his family tickets to Thursday's playoff game — against the Clippers.

Inexperience is a strange word to characterize a baseball team that went to a NCAA Super Regional just a season ago.
However, after Florida State lost seven players to the Major League Baseball Draft last summer, this year's team remains a mystery.
That being said, there is just one way to gain experience on the diamond: Play ball!
FSU begins its season with a three-game series against Rhode Island on Feb. 19. When the Seminoles take the field, they will trot out 13 new additions to the roster.
"We have to be patient with the young guys coming in," said Mike Martin, who will be coaching his 37th season at Florida State. "We're counting on a lot of guys that have never worn the Seminole uniform before."
One of those guys is freshman catcher Cal Raleigh. The Louisville Slugger First-Team All-American from Smoky Mountain High School in North Carolina hit .469 last year and has Martin excited.
"I think this young man should open your eyes," Martin said. "I really like him, switch hitter, good receiver, good knowledge of the game. I'm anxious for you to see him."
In addition to the newcomers, Martin is experimenting with moving some players around the infield. John Sansone, a three-year starter at second base, is moving over to third, and third baseman Dylan Busby will transition to first.
That leaves center fielder Ben DeLuzio and shortstop Taylor Walls as the only starters returning to their position. Quincy Nieporte's bat will certainly be in the lineup somewhere for the Noles after hitting .297 with seven homers last season. He will most like be a designated hitter, but he has also played first and catcher.
"Those first few weeks will be a process just trying to figure out who is going to be playing where, and what their role is going to be like," said starting pitcher Mike Compton, a fifth-year senior. "As the season goes on, I think we'll get a lot more comfortable with everything."
FSU plays 15 of its first 16 games at home, which should ease the transition until the lineup settles.
The departure of DJ Stewart, who was drafted 25th overall by the Baltimore Orioles, leaves a big hole in left field. Stewart hit 15 home runs for the Noles and led the nation in walks.
"You don't replace a DJ Stewart," Martin said. "What you do is turn the page and see what is going to materialize this year."
None of the Seminoles returnees or newcomers have distinguished themselves enough to be named starters in either left or right field. The same applies to the pitching staff, where six players ( Compton, Drew Carlton, Cole Sands, Andrew Karp, Cobi Johnson and Tyler Holton) will battle to form the rotation.
"It won't happen right away, but I think we have a lot of pieces, a lot of potential," said Compton, who was 19th in the nation in strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2015 (5.83). "We're just trying to figure out where those pieces go."
The measuring stick for Florida State really won't come until March 15th in Gainesville against Florida. The Gators eliminated FSU from the NCAA Tournament last season. Florida is the consensus preseason No. 1 team in the country. The Seminoles will find out what kind of team the lineup juggling has produced at that point.
A new roster with players changing positions does not change expectations for Martin. When the field is chalked and the umpire throws out the first ball, Martin expects to win.
"The expectations are never going to change as long as I coach at Florida State, and that's to get to Omaha," he said. "I don't care what we've got, how many freshmen we've got, our goal is to get to Omaha. The day that I don't feel like a Florida State baseball team can't get there because of one reason or another, I will get out."

Growing up, my favorite holiday tradition was our annual camping trip to Walt Disney World during Christmas break. We were the crazy family that would ride around on the buses, boats and monorails singing carols until we were blue in the face. I absolutely loved it!
Since we are Annual Passholders, we had the chance to get discounted tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It didn't take too much convincing to get my boyfriend to go with me. He knows how much I love the holidays especially at Disney.
Two weeks ago, my boyfriend picked me up early from work and we headed over to the Magic Kingdom. I set up some FastPass+'s during breakfast so that we would be able to hop on a few rides before the holiday party started. After we parked the car and rode the monorail into the park, we headed straight over to Space Mountain. As my boyfriend said, "I don't think anyone has ever left our house and made it on Space Mountain in less time." I truly LOVE the FastPass+ system.
Then we headed over to the Rose Garden to pick up our special wristbands for the party. The line looked pretty long when we got in it. Thankfully, it didn't take too long so we had plenty of time to grab dinner. We headed over to the Sleepy Hollow Inn to grab some chicken and waffle sandwiches. I heard about these sandwiches a while ago and couldn't resist them any longer. We ordered the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich and it was delicious! The chicken was fried using a spicy batter and dipped in a sweet syrup. Then it was placed in a large fluffy Belgian waffle with slaw and arugula. Holy yum!
After we finished eating, it was time to go over to the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I absolutely love this ride. My boyfriend and I have way too much on Big Thunder Mountain. Then we went over to the Jungle Jingle Cruise. I really wanted to check out the holiday transformation and it was so much fun!
By the time we finished using our Fast Passes, the park was getting ready to reset for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We headed back over to Main Street USA to find a place to hang out. The holiday party included a several shows, parades and an amazing fireworks show so we wanted to find a place to enjoy everything. I also wanted to check out the snow falling on Main Street!
While enjoying the shows, my boyfriend and I drank some coffee from the Main Street Bakery. We love the fact that Starbucks is at Walt Disney World. We also ate way too many snickerdoodle cookies and drank far too much hot chocolate. A holiday party just wouldn't be complete without copious amounts of cookies and hot chocolate.
When the first round of shows were finished, we wandered around the park before heading home. As we wandered around New Fantasyland, I spotted all seven of Snow White's dwarfs and insisted that we stop for a photo. It is rare to see all of the dwarfs out together so I couldn't pass up the chance to get a photo with them.
As we left the park, we couldn't stop talking about how much we had at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. My boyfriend loved the Celebrate the Magic show so much that we are planning to check it out again during the upcoming Marathon Weekend.
What is one holiday tradition that you truly love?

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
In this build i will show you how heavy damage the spear shot can do.
Start off with a longsword and a health potion.
build it into a swor of the occult and buy boots of swiftness. I take them in this build because you chase your enemies to spear shot them down.^^
Armor penetration runes and last whisper will give you more damage.
Now Infinity Edge for crits if the target is lower than 15% health. and Black cleaver against
tanks. Bloodthirster gives you damage everytime you kill a minion. When you have got all 6 items you are unstoppable.
Hope you enjoy playing panth and see you in my next build.

It would spoil my day if I left someone stranded without offering to help. That is not to say that I would hesitate to point out the error in the ways afterwards.

I feel everyone, to a degree, has a valid point. It's always good to hear different opinions. I hope the right person comes by, when I am stuck and had a beer or two and did a stupid thing, without placing anyones life in danger. I feel that if someone was stuck and I just happened to come across them, I would not hesitate to help them, with my kit and I would not expect any payment. I have never put myself or my vehicle in a situation where I could get stuck on my own, excepting on our own farm. Whenever I go 4x4ing, it is always in a group of at least two vehicles, just for in-case. Even with the best vehicle or ability, you can get stuck. I have been pulled out a few times, by friends on 4x4 fun days and have pulled out more than I can remember, for free. If I had to phone a stranger or recovery guy, that I don't know, I would expect to pay for the service and hope it is for reasonable price (how long is a string). If a mate phoned me to help, no matter how far or how serious, I would help without thinking twice, after all, this is what friends do, no one else has my no to ask me for help. If someone was stuck and I knew they charged someone else to help, previously, well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there and all the tourists would have to get off first. If he had Chinese tourists, I would probably not help . I would def offer someone an ice cold beer or a hand full of biltong or at least a solid handshake and proper thank you.

I pulled out a vehicle with an intoxicated driver once but would not tow them into town about 20 km's away. They were towed by another vehicle and hit the back of this vehicle 5 times during the trip.
It is only fair to pay the requested fee as this is how they make a living.
It is an entirely different matter when a fellow camper who is not making a living from guiding/recoveries and who stop and assist.
Haraka haraka haina baraka - much haste carries no blessing (Swahili proverb)
Mention a 4x2 will come recovery you and miraculously the 4x4 becomes unstuck...sheez I have no fun😂 .
But in general I always say help a fellow in need and you will be rewarded later on

My reward for the recovery - watching the guys face in my rear view mirror as I took off at speed in the sand and he watched the snatch strap tightening.
I once made a very very good friend in Hwange by helping recover a ranger who got stuck after dark, in an open vehicle, at night, with the lions roaring all around him...........the thanks and the directions I got for the next week to all the best sightings was payment enough. I think I'll keep doing it like that!
A few years ago I got stuck on the soutpanne near Strandfontein.... (I was new to the area and didn't know it was a No no)
Anyhow I was on the chessis in the mud and it took two bakkies in tandem to get me out.. The guys didn't want any compensation but a friend suggested that I replace their snatch rope. I payed the R600 with a smile.

Having read the original post again I would probably agree with the chaps charging a fee under those circumstances, if I had to put myself in their shoes.
Let's just for fun sketch a hypothetical scenario: In the relative vicinity of where you live, work, your kids go to school you have an area where you can leave the tar and as a 4x4 owner do your thing, which might be going for a Sunday drive, having a braai with the family on a public holiday/ Saturday or go fishing with mates/ test low range third gear etc.
So on the way there or on the way back you see people stuck in their 4x4. They run into the road with beer bottles or Coke mixes in hand wanting you to help them get out of their predicament, when you tell them in a kind voice that you unfortunately can't help due to not carrying tow/ snatch ropes when taking a quick drive, you then get called names and get threatened with violence, nevermind your three kids or just wife/ girlfriend in the car. This happens usually during school holidays when you are perhaps still at or have to work. And this happens three times every afternoon you go to this area.
Are you also not going to get gatvol of this as the people who charge for their service in the OP's post obviously are?

All I can say is that if guys are charging for their services then they should also be accountable in the instance something goes wrong. If you are charged then there is an expectation of them knowing what they are doing.
We did a total of five recoveries at our little GTG at Clarens and each one was slightly different and different techniques and kit was used. We had a 2x4 with us and he was snatched once towed once and did a snatch himself. We all learned something and the confidence for recoveries went up by a mile.
I agree with the guys that state the level of expectation and alcohol would be a deciding factor, gone are the days when I would be first to jump in and help.

When everybody is having fun and all is equal help as much as you can.
There is places and situations where the scales are tipped in favor of you helping much more than what you will be helped.
Lodge owners, guides or farmers in difficult terrain. There is surely a place for a fair business opportunity to help the stuck.
The same as doctors lawyers hospitals ambulance etc.
Rescue becomes their lively hood and it is fair.
hmm, sounds like Karma's been nice to 4xrs here.. it's called passing om; most of us have a wife/kids/mother etc: we all hopesome decent dude will help them out the day it's their turn.. stay in credit
I've done a couple of recoveries, damaged my own gear and even had to dead with difficult people who refused to listen to my safety instructions. NO! We don't believe in deflating tyres! Mom and young daughters standing right next to the strap in order to observe (it was only after I had threatened to leave that they listened to me).
Me? I have never been in the situation where I had to be recovered so I wouldn't know if I should have offered anything (Getting recovered from the parking lot five blocks from home doesn't count as a recovery)
Defender 2.8i
Prick your finger it is done the moon has now eclipsed the sun the angel has spread its wings the time has come for bitter things
I recover people that go with me on a trip. Must be very special circumstances before i recover a stranger
In our own tour group, or close froends we recover without question or effort.
Then people we just know, yeah, we recover. But with HIS or HER own gear.
No-noway with my gear.
And if it doesnt put me in any possible jeopardy.
Total strangers, it depends on
1) situation
2) Position
3) Effort and
4) their attitude.
5) and i guess to a small extent how daft they were to get themselfs in the poo-poo. Nah.... joking.
Its always nice to help some total stranger in need.
But my golden rule. My gear, my recovery.
Your recovery, your gear.
P.S. my memory flashes back to a dude i helped on a muddy gravel road. He was on HT's and thought he was Loeb or something... thus a gentle tug to free him from the ditch.
Dude said he had recovery gear.... as he was in a kitted SUV.
.... to him a normal towstrap was a snatchstrap.... (wheres that facepalm emoji)
So after another 30min explaining the difference, i was on my way
