Travellingross Rating: 10 out of 10
Brazil has long been on my travel to-do list, but getting a visa has always been a hassle and turned me off trying. So when I heard that this year over the few months of the Olympics, Brazil was waiving visa requirements I was hooked. Usually I don't plan or think of what to do on a break until say 2 weeks out. But this one I had a fair idea about since the beginning of the year. I am still winging it, but I knew that Iguassu Falls was a must-visit after seeing the photos a friend took during a visit some years ago. I have a thing for waterfalls and the more epic the better – Victoria, Niagara…now Iguassu.
But like anything epic, it starts with a journey. 17.5 hours. Including an 8 hour layover. Following a good work rotation where I was actually able to find time to go for a run after work, I was not my usual wiped out self on day 23. I went out for dinner with a friend in Parbo then got picked up at 10:45 pm for the airport. Odd flight time of 1:45 am meant I didn't even sleep in the city compared to the last few breaks where I have been staying a night or 2 before flying out.
Belem airport was more advanced than I expected. English seems to not be widely spoken though and I quickly remembered that Portuguese is not that similar to Spanish. I got through immigration without a word spoken, and I didn't even have to fill a form! I am amazed that my bag and I made all the connections including a twenty-minute connection in Rio. With a driver waiting for me at the Foz do Iguacu airport, I was ready to relax.
Belmond Hotel das Cataratas is flawless. I cannot fault a single thing. From the welcome at reception (and free room upgrade!), to the fireplace filled lounge, to the barman carefully explaining the varied types of Caipirinha, to the breakfast, to the views, to the perfect rooms with the little sticker on the toilet paper….I could go on haha. Great recommendation. Although only 2 nights is required to see the sights, I booked 4 because of timing and because I knew I would enjoy the down-time.
The Falls are incredible. Over 270 individual waterfalls occur across this divide between Argentina and Brazil. The photos hopefully tell the story. They say the Brazil side has the view, the Argentine side has the experience. Basically you get drenched on the other side with an immersive experience across a lot of boardwalks, whereas Brazil has the panoramic views and one boardwalk that looks up the main chasm "the devils throat". I thought a lot about crossing the border to also visit the Argentinian side but decided not to.
The weather was not the best. 2 days were wet and cold (17C). Nice to relax in the hotel with a hot stone Amazonian massage and drink, while catching up on life. The pool is heated but I didn't swim. I really wanted to do the helicopter trip over the falls and luckily on my last day the clouds cleared and the choppers were able to fly. Fortunately I did not have a flight to Rio until 4pm so I had time. It was only a 10 minute flight, but so good. I did a similar flight over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe many moons ago and really like the vantage you get from the air and seeing the mist swirl up.
So, I am really happy to be in Brazil. To have seen the Iguassu Falls. And this is just the beginning.

As I scoured the web for ideas in designing this blog, I kept stumbling onto beautiful blogs by the same designer ~ Darcy Milder ~ Graphically Designing. Thank you Darcy for helping me write on lovely "paper"! Check out her masterpieces online, also her personal blog – Life with My Three Boybarians. Darcy, I love your work and it was a pleasure to meet you in person at Relevant!!
Thank you Beth Dreyer Photography for taking my picture. When I rummaged around for a head-shot, I realized the most recent picture I had of myself alone was taken by the Department of Public Safety…before that, it was my bridal portrait. I'm a woman that's usually behind the camera and I prefer it that way.
My eclectic approach to computer blogging…reminds me of learning to sew. There are some striking similarities, like you must go by the RULES and cooperate with the machine! In spite of technical blunders, my hope is to offer insight and courage to moms for the journey ahead. There's no exact science to mothering and our kids aren't experiments in perfection, the Pharisees already tried that. In our modern world, mothering is becoming a lost art, and there are countless women, like us, who are "heaven-bent" on reclaiming it.
I welcome your comments.

Perinatal Depression & Anxiety Awareness
Perinatal mood disorders, in particular, depression and anxiety, commonly affect women during pregnancy and after giving birth.
Even two to three years after giving birth, or from one pregnancy to another, women can experience depression and anxiety.
Perinatal Depression & Anxiety (PND) Awareness Week (12–18 November 2017)
As many as 1 in 5 expecting or new mums and up to 1 in 10 dads are affected. Around 100 000 families across Australia are impacted every year. Many people still don't seek help as quickly as they should and suffer for longer than necessary because they don't know what's happening to them and where to go to seek help.
During the Week, PANDA will be share personal stories about people's experiences of PND to encourage people to start conversations about an illness that has for too long been shrouded in stigma.
Local Stories
You're not alone…Inspiring stories from local women
We collected stories from four local (Sunbury and surrounds) women about their experiences of PND. These women used our counselling service and our Mother to Mother Support Group (a support group that no longer operates).
The women are happy for us to share their stories, in the hope they help others.
Story 1: Designed (246KB) Plain text (202KB)
"I have the wisdom to say it's OK to have a bad day, nothing is perfect or permanent"
Story 2: Designed (289KB) Plain text (201KB)
"The whole time I felt like I was drowning, I could barely keep my head above the water. Self-therapy was important; we need to look after ourselves so we could look after our children"
Story 3: Designed (198KB) Plain text (208KB)
"When you start to recover, you feel good one day, the next day is shit again, and it feels worse. But the good days get longer and the bad days are less and less. Having children was worth the PND"
Story 4: Designed (326KB) Plain text (206KB)
"Sometimes we deny what is going on because we feel ashamed about our thoughts and that we really should be able to cope with being a mother"
Sunbury Community Health provides individual counselling and support. If you would like to share your story, or get in touch, call 9744 4455
Support for Women & Families
Your GP/doctor
Your GP is usually a first point of call. They can be a good source of information and support. If you think you may be experiencing PND, talk to your GP.
Sunbury Community Health can help too
We can provide individual counselling for women who may be experiencing PND. Partners are also welcome.
Our female counsellor, trained in perinatal mood disorders, has over 25 years of experience in providing group and individual counselling. Call us 9744 4455
PANDA telephone counselling service
PANDA offer a Telephone counselling service, open 10 am – 5 pm Monday to Friday. This service is staffed by trained volunteers, professional counsellors and supervising staff. Many helpline counsellors have had their own experience of PND.
Partners, extended family members and friends can ring the helpline too. Call 1300 726 306

Darwinism for Delta?
Readers Ask Whether Natural Selection Would Be a Good Thing for Airlines
This week's Middle Seat focused on the science of preventing crashes by focusing on little errors that pilots make. A day later, a Middle Seat Extra focused on big errors airline managers make with a daylight double-header of bankruptcy filings from Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines.
Readers had questions and concerns about both columns this week. Bankruptcy, they rightfully note, is a bigger threat to travel these days than, thankfully, air crashes. And it seems many are getting weary of airline troubles and anxious for...

Did the bottom fall through the floor of charitable giving in 2009? Is DM dead and buried? Is online giving alive and kicking?
These are the issues that we've been able to answer through the data and insights (and conversations) shared as part of Pareto Fundraising's latest round of benchmarking, released two weeks ago.
Firstly I'd like to thank the 14 brilliant organizations who were involved in the latest study. You made this happen.
For those interested in the key findings, click here for the full media release.
However, let me give you a teaser:
- 2009 was a 'mixed bag'. Whilst we saw a dip in overall and individual income, we saw increases in some key areas of giving. The fall in individual income was attributable mostly to a fall in direct mail (house and prospect) income. However it should be noted that some of this was a result of less activity, not simply a drop off in results.
- Monthly giving continues to grow, up 9% from 2008 to $48m in annual income, at the height of the global financial crisis. On the current growth trajectory, regular automatic payments look set to topple cash giving as a source of income in 2010.
- Whilst income from planned gifts (bequests) grew last year to around $23m, this is an area of massive potential for Canadian organizations, with the average proportion of cash donors that have indicated they have left a bequest in their Will at around 0.2%. This is far below other countries we've looked at this, where we've seen this range from 1% up as high as 6%.
- Online giving continues to (not surprisingly) grow as a proportion of the 'pie', but it's still a small one, representing around 2% of all income from individuals.
- The average value of a mail recruited monthly donor is worth, on average, five times the value of a mail recruited cash donor, after five years ($800 vs. $135).
So what?
Some key takeaways/what this means for Canadian charities:
1 Recruiting low value cash donors is a waste of time*. Monthly giving is where growth is, it's reliable, resilient and recession proof. The caveat is if you are using low value cash donors to feed into a monthly giving conversion program, immediately.
2 It is not too late to jump on the monthly giving bandwagon. Those who have done so within the last two years are already reaping the rewards.
3 Bequests, bequests, bequests. Same point as above, it isn't too late. Strategically, its debatably the single most important area of investment. It is irrelevant that you may not see the fruits of your labor, the point is, your beneficiaries will. Refer here for an earlier post about how to effectively talk about bequests.
4 Direct mail is not growing. Online is. However before you revert your budget from offline to online, remember that mail programs feed into your monthly giving and planned giving efforts. Not to mention fueling prospects for major gifts. Don't lose sight of that. The performance of your traditional streams can't simply be measured on the level of cash they bring you, but also the impact on your other efforts.
5 Remember my post recently about the balance between volume and value. Those who are worth the most are traditionally the hardest to find, and often the most expensive. Think about what you want to achieve.
I'll be touching more on the insights delivered from this exercise over the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Amos 1-3
Amos 1-3 (Click to Read Today's Word at Biblegateway.com)
Truth for Today
Amos 1:2 And he said, "The Lord roars from Zion, and utters His voice from Jerusalem, the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers."
I am the oldest of four kids, two brothers and a sister. I am not sure why but my brothers and sister took great joy in getting me into trouble…hahahahhaa. Ask the oldest in any family and they will say Amen. I always knew when we were in big trouble. I would hear my Mom yell, "KIDS!, Don't make me come in there." Often that yell would be all it took…but at other times Mama came into the room and it wasn't pleasant.
Amos said, "The Lord roars from Zion…" God was fed up with the behavior of His people and was about to come into the room. Through this book God states His case against His people and the injustice that was prevalent in the land. We must learn to listen to God's roar and respond.
Respond with REPENTANCE. That need is in our world this very moment.
Respond with OPENNESS to change our behavior. We have to put away the old way that is sinful and put on the new way of grace and mercy.
Respond with ACTION. It's not enough to talk about changing…we must take action. Michael Vick, the talented quarterback from Atlanta spoke about the need to change. I hope he discovers that true change from Christ and Christ alone.
Respond with RETURNING. Return to ways of trust and faith and confidence and mercy for all.
Our actions will clearly tell if we are serious about hearing God's roar from heaven.
Break our stubbornness Father and forgive us in your wonderful grace. May we grow to be people of mercy and justice...IN JESUS NAME…AMEN!!!

I don't even know why but I went on my ex's facebook page out of curiousity as he recently added me. Thought I was over it, but i've just read all these messages from his friend saying that he was going to put in a good word for him with this girl, and said 'i've told told her you've got a thing for her' and then he's saying things joking around like ' oh it could be true love!'
I knew I was going to see something I didn't want to see! Nice that he's moved on already!
I need cheering up now I think I am going to have to remove him from my friends or i'm going to get wound up!

Marian Bantjes and Decorationism
Saturday, February 25, 2006
Often, designers take pride in form follows function, where we strip away the ornamental and illustrative. This helps communication. Or so it seems. But can't ornament be communicative? And what about the cultural and anthropological value of ornament? I was reading about decorationism over at the excellent SpeakUp when I stumbled upon Marian's portfolio. Contains several projects with Stefan Sagmeister. She has also written a bunch of really good articles published over there. Well this was the thread > and these were the comments >
And here is the work >
And finally, here is a movie of Denise Gonzales lecture on the DecoRational >

First know this, it took Politico till the 4th of their 4-page article to quote those working with Cain at the top of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990's. Three of those who worked closely with Cain said they knew of no inappropriate sexual allegations against him during those year. SEE UPDATES BELOW: I'll will have ongoing updates on this story. New 10/31/11 below.
Politico eventually said "almost all board members remember Cain fondly and say he left on good terms"…"extremely professional," "fair," and it was "not within his character" to make unwanted advances."
The details are, two women have come forward to claim that Cain used "sexually suggestive" behavior toward them – but came forward to who? The two were supposedly paid-off by someone, but no one at the top knew a thing about it. The 'pay-off' supposedly was "sealed" and the women forbidden from talking about the incident(s), but…but they apparently talked to Politico, or someone did. Politico has "confirmed their names" but will not reveal them due to "privacy concerns" for the women. Isn't that convenient?
The National Restaurant Association is saying their corporate policy forbids them to "discuss personnel matters" with outside sources, but clearly someone is talking.
Cain, who has been married to his wife Gloria for 43 years, did tell at least one campaign staffer this year about the possibility that claims of sexual harassment could surface, according to the aide. Cain, this person said, described a case in which he fired an employee in 1990s and the woman alleged sexual misconduct or harassment. Cain told the campaign staffer he had beaten the case and that the woman had paid for his legal fees. The aide had no further details.
We had a sitting President leaving semen stains on a blue dress, and the media refused to believe it, but let two Anita-Hill-types dish up some garbage against a Supreme Court nominee, and Politico prints it, without confirming it. UPDATE: My apologies, thinking of Anita Hill and Justice Clarence Thomas obviously commandeered my thought process. What I intended to say was, but let two Anita-Hill-types dish up some garbage against a Republican Black man, Herman Cain, and print it, without confirming it in any verifiable way.
Juan Williams is on with Geraldo this minute saying this is undoubtedly the work of the GOP establishment who wants Herman Cain out of the picture. You know, I wouldn't doubt it, but then I would as easily point the finger at David Axelrod and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
UPDATE: This report says this story is based on "anonymous sources."
"Inside-the-Beltway media have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain," spokesman J.D. Gordon said in a written statement. "Dredging up thinly sourced allegations stemming from Mr. Cain's tenure as the Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, political trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts."
UPDATE: Hilarious. Geraldo is on live asking Herman Cain to call in and make a statement. His guest Ann Coulter tells him not to call in. An attorney would not want him to call in. Coulter also disputes Juan Williams' assertion that there is no doubt GOP operatives bringing the hammer down on Cain. Coulter says no way – this is the work of Liberals.
UPDATE: J.D. Gordon, a spokesman for Cain, has just called in live to Geraldo. He says the assertions are not even sourced. They are unsubstantiated personal attacks.
Geraldo is gleeful, for all that he has told Cain how swell he is. Gerlado asks: is Cain denying that he ever gave money to two women. Gordon says yes, but Geraldo asks again. Was there a cash settlement to two female employees? Gordon will not answer, and says to get that information from the National Restaurant Association.
Geraldo tells Gordon that this is very serious and has plenty of weight – unsourced, but it has plenty of weight. Geraldo is an idiot.
Gordon says this is an unsourced third party, and Mr. Cain deserves better.
UPDATE: Cain campaign manager says Cain has never sexually harrassed anyone…
"They were the Chair, Vice Chair and immediate past chair of the National Restaurant Association during Herman Cain's tenure. Yet all three — and all three said that he was a man of total integrity. Every negative word and accusation in the article is sourced to a series of unnamed or anonymous sources, and this is questionable at best. I am not personally aware of any cash settlement relating to sexual harassment charges to Mr. Cain." Source Real Clear Politics video
UPDATE 10-31-11 @ 10:23am CDT: Cain is on FOX with Jenna Lee right now. She asks: "What is the truth? Have you ever been accused of sexual harrassment." He says yes he was falsely accused, but after the investigation, the charges were found to be baseless, and totally false." Jenna asks Have you had to settle a claim? Cain says, "Outside of the Restaurant Association? If the NRA did a settlement, I was not aware of it, and I hope they did not, because I was falsely accused."
Jenna asks: "Are there more allegations to come like this one?" Cain says "Absolutely not."
He says the accusatory sources are anonymous.
Readers, how often do you hear someone in politics answer a question in such a straightforward manner as Cain did? The answer is 'never.' He has aggressively defended himself.
UPDATE 10-31-11 @ 11:08 am CDT: About Herman Cain and details of the "sexual harrassment" claims, The Other McCain is quoting a woman who worked on Cain's 2004 Georgia Senate campaign. She doesn't believe the story and says Cain "never even bordered on inappropriate in the slightest."
UPDATE 10-31-11 @ 3:30pm CDT: Stacy McCain was at The National Press Club appearance of Herman Cain. Again, Cain repeated that he was falsely accuse, that he recused himself from the investigation, which was conducted by his general counsel and human resources officer. After the investigation, he was absolved and the finding was "no basis for the complaints."
Find information about Cain campaign law violations here.
Stacy at The Other McCain has been along for the ride with Herman Cain several times, and has some thoughts on these unsourced rumors.

CAMARILLO, Calif. — The Camarillo City Council voted on Wednesday to extend the moratorium on the production of porn films in its city limits to mid-March of next year.
Camarillo instituted the moratorium after it received a sharp increase in adult film permit requests following the passage of Measure B, The Ventura County Star reported.
Measure B is a voter initiative that requires barrier protection in all porn films produced in Los Angeles County.
Production companies located in the San Fernando Valley, the place where most adult films are shot, began scouting for nearby cities to produce porn without condoms when the law passed.
Adjacent Ventura County approved a similar measure for unincorporated areas on Wednesday, similarly requiring porn actors to wear condoms during filming.
Simi Valley, which like Camarillo is located in Ventura County, also has a similar mandate.
A state bill requiring porn actors to wear condoms is pending in the Legislature.

Senior defence official says more UK troops could be sent to AfghanistanDecember 2nd, 2008 - 4:31 pm ICT by ANI
London, Dec.2 (ANI): Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, Britains Chief of Defence Staff, has said that more service personnel could be deployed in Afghanistan as Britain withdraws from Iraq. But he insisted that the additional force sent to Afghanistan must be smaller than the 4,000 troops that will soon leave Iraq.
Delivering a lecture at the Royal United Services Institute, Air Chief Marshal Stirrup said the UK was now "close" to a "dramatic" reduction in numbers in Iraq, but insisted that there could be no "one-for-one" transfer from there to Afghanistan.
He also repeated calls for Britain''s overall foreign commitments to reduce.
Senior defence sources said the defence chief''s comments reflect a belief that the Nato mission to contain the Taliban and stabilise Afghanistan is not making enough progress.
US defence officials are believed to have suggested that the UK should send more than 2,000 more troops to Afghanistan in the New Year, when British generals are due to assume command of NATO forces in southern Afghanistan. American defence officials are working on plans to send another 20,000 US troops to Afghanistan.
Air Chief Marshal Stirrup and other Forces chiefs had previously appeared cool about a bigger Afghan force. His comments on Monday night remove any obstacle to more British troops being deployed in the New Year.
In his lecture, Air Chief Marshal Stirrup said: "We shouldn"t be satisfied with our progress in 2008."
He said: "They"ve (Taliban and al Qaeda) beaten us to the punch on numerous occasions, and by doing so they"ve magnified the sense of difficulty and diminished the sense of progress. This is down in part to their skill, and in part to our own failings."
Air Chief Marshal Stirrup also urged politicians and voters to keep a sense of perspective about what can be achieved in Afghanistan.
"Terms like winning and victory have no place in the lexicon there," he said referring to Afghanistan. (ANI)

Travel & Teach - France
France is one of the most popular destinations for Global English TESOL graduates and despite the willingness of the French to cling to their language and culture, there are real opportunities for teaching English in France.
Opportunities abound to teach young learners, adults, business English and to teach English online. The government stipulates that French companies provide vocational training for staff and English is often what is chosen, hence the demand for business English. The French learn English at school but it is usually to pass an exam and so fluency is a real issue.
Schools tend to recruit on a zero hour contract and rely on walk-ins and so you will need to be in place in the main to secure work. Freelancing is the norm and you can expect to earn €15-€30 Euros per hour depending on whether you are teaching specialist English and where you are in the country.
Tips for teaching English in France
Since so many of our graduates teach English in France, we have gathered a lot of great information and so to learn all you need to know we would advise the following.
* get a copy of our free Teaching English in France guide on the right
* choose the 150-hour TESOL Level 4 online >> course for Europe
* consider adding a 30-hour Business TESOL >> as this specialism is very much in demand for finding good quality work
* read the comments from our TESOL graduates in the comments tab, plus more in-depth interviews from our TESOL graduates, such as Maggie >>, who have invaluable advice on living and teaching English in France

Teaching English in France; a how to guide
Global English students are working all over the world with their accredited TESOL certificates. Find out
how TESOL training from Global English has made a difference to their lives:
Jane Rocke
So much has happened in such a short space of time and the adventure continues. I obtained a Global English TESOL qualification in 2005 and shortly afterwards the family (my husband, four children and I) moved to France (another story and now another child…)
We bought a house in Normandy near Lisieux, began a Chambres d'Hôtes (www.lestourneurs.com) and shortly afterwards a language school (www.allianceanglaise.com ) offering English language immersion courses to business men and women in the area. There was a considerable amount of initial admin involved in order to be 'agrée' (registered) by the State, something we only realised we had to do after our first conversation with a company following the posting of 3,000 letters and brochures! We are registered as 'professions libérals' for tax purposes, but the status of 'autoentrepeneur' has since evolved, which for those of you keen to do a similar activity would perhaps be more beneficial. We obtained lists of local companies from the relevant 'Chambres de commerces' and primarily use a series called 'the Business' by Macmillan, who were very generous with their resources.
Life in France is very different from how I imagined it would be but we love it, and for those of you interested in doing something similar we have a vision to open up centres in the south, west and east of France!
Marilyn Anderson
I enrolled with Global English a year ago before moving to the south of France with my (French) husband and young son. The course has been great for me in terms of rekindling a long-dormant part of my brain where English grammar had been stored – and for making me think about how students learn and how to plan lessons. While undertaking the course, I was lucky to find one-to-one work with three teenage students. I am paid under a government scheme – Service Emplois Familiaux – which offers tax reductions to working parents employing others in their home for such things as housework, caring for children or the elderly, educational support, etc. The mother of my first client did all the paperwork to register me. Also, during the year, I volunteered at my son's school – I read a book of my choice, in English, to two separate classes of 5-6 year olds with their teacher reading a French translation, page by page. The children really enjoyed this weekly visit – and I enjoyed working with them.
I've been working with an Association since the beginning of October. I've got 2 groups of children; the second group are aged 8+ and, after the holidays (it's the start of the November school holidays here), I'm going to work with them using the 'Chit Chat' range of course books). I've also got 4 groups of adults (beginners, pre-intermediate, intermediate and conversation). Payment is a percentage of the charge so is dependent on the numbers - it'll never make me a fortune but it's great to be working with adults as well as children now!
I also started last week in primary schools again - I've got 5 classes, twice a week, based in two different schools. Last year I had an 'Assistant's contract' as I was replacing a young woman who gave up before the end of her year. They couldn't wangle that for me this year and I have a different contract and receive 32% less money than last year! I do now understand one of your other students' comments on the website about teaching in primary schools in France. Never mind the hours still suit me and I'm enjoying it! Oh yes and my Wednesday afternoon groups of children at home are going very well this year.
Kerry Edwards
After completing the Global English Level 2 TESOL with business, I found a job working with the training centre attached to the Chamber of Commerce in Caen.
The TEFL training with Global English gave me a very good basis on which to start teaching. I never realised the extent of the contents of English grammar. That, together with all the practical aspects of teaching, were very well covered within the TEFL training. I had already started a contract before finishing the course but the fact that I was studying for the TEFL certainly helped me to get the job.
I am living in France and teaching English within a language school. The school covers many different types of English training from examinations to one-to-one Business English. Teaching is held within classrooms at the centre or on customer sites. I did the TEFL with Business and this has certainly helped me to specialise within this area. I have taught English to company Directors, Salesmen, Technicians, Engineers and accountants as well as others within the Hotel and Restaurant sector.
My next anticipated move is to Spain. I know that I would not have had the opportunities to teach without doing the TEFL course. It was absolutely perfect for me as I have access to the internet and can work from home. This enabled me to take my time and research the necessary subjects. I found all the study booklets extremely helpful. I still refer to the examples from time to time when I'm planning lessons around a particular grammar point. I feel that now I have been teaching for a year I have gained a lot of knowledge and confidence. I hope to continue to teach and make progress within this career.
Joni Wilkins
have been living in Northern France for Iover 10 years. I've been teaching English to both primary age children and adults after completing the Global English Level 2 TESOL with business.
My family and I moved to France in 1991 after a three and a half year stay in Hong Kong. Arriving in Basse Normandie with two small children was a breath of fresh air and we settled in a small village house near Mortagne-Au Perche, near Alençon.
I found work locally in a private village school, teaching English to primary children.
After three years in Basse Normandie, we moved to Haute Normandie and are now based in a village situated between Dieppe and Rouen. Life is very rural here and is reminiscent of an England of the 1960's. People make cheese and calvados in their farms, they keep chickens in their back yards and go shopping at the market on Saturday with huge wicker baskets (although trips to the hypermarket are also the order of the day).
The area is dominated by the huge Forêt d'Eawy, boasting some 6000 hectares and ideal for walkers and horse riders except in the hunting season. Property prices are rising slowly but are very low by English standards and the cost of living is also low – a reflection of the fact that wages are considerably less than in England. Culture is available in Dieppe and Rouen and there life is much more as it is in England. Public transport is virtually non-existent in country areas and a car is a necessity.
I worked until last year in primary education teaching English to children in the age range of 8 – 11 years. This sort of post is called « vacataire » and is paid on an hourly rate of around 16 Euros. There is no holiday or sickness pay or other benefits and it is basically a rip-off. The French Government has become very interested in providing modern language teaching for primary children and has obliged schools to teach children English, but there is not enough money in the budget to do this correctly. This has resulted in French primary teachers, many of whom have little knowledge of the language being pressured by Inspectors to teach English after a short period of training at the University. The results predictably are catastrophic, with children "speaking English" with unrecognisable accents and no feeling for the language or culture. It has also resulted in jobs like mine disappearing and hence has led me into the work I am now doing – teaching Business English to adults after a very interesting course with Global English !!
What can I expect to earn (range) for teaching adults English? I speak French pretty well and teach eleven year olds in the us right now. (Coincidentally i have some legal experience as well.) Curious.

As with all countries, salaries will depend on a number of factors, including any TEFL experience and qualifications you have. However, recently (as of 2012) we have seen positions advertised with salaries starting at around 1500 Euros a month, from which tax and deductions would be made.
Alternatively 19 - 25 Euros per hour is a good basic rate, but you can earn more if you are freelancing or teaching a specialism, such as business English.

We'd like to thank our Global English TESOL course graduates for sharing their experiences above. For our guide on teaching English in France and for a special discount on our most popular online TESOL courses for France, sign up at the top right of this page, and we'll send it to you free of charge.
Travel and Teach
The the 150-hour TESOL Level 4 online >> with an added business specialist course will significantly enhance your job prospects, as will a degree and any business experience/qualifications. If you are from the EU, it is relatively easy to gain work and if you sign up for our guide on the right hand side, there is a little more detail on your options in terms of registering for tax purposes.
Non EU?
If you are not from the EU, it may be possible to work legally on a student visa depending on your country of origin and age. Otherwise, unless you have the legal right to work in France, it will often be too costly and bureauratic for an employer to take you on. As a result, some people do work 'under the table.'
For the best chance of gaining English teaching work in France, we recommend that you take:
* the 30-hour Teaching English One-to-one >> for teaching online
You will also have the option to work online with large French companies, such as Telelangue and we suggest you investigate language schools (you'll see lists of language schools by region are available in the yellow pages (pages Jaunes) or Global English can send its trainees a link to language schools throughout France). So ensure you have a list of language schools in your area so you can 'hit the ground running' when you arrive. Alternatively, consider hosting and teaching in your French home, where there are well established teen and adult programmes. There is also the option of enquiring via the local Chamber of Commerce, which may even have training centres attached. Finally, consider looking into freelance English teaching.
How the above works in practice:
Some Global English graduates have found work through the hundreds of local Chambers of Commerce (CCI's). One former TESOL trainee has taught staff at a pharmaceutical company via this route, for example. Others have networked, joined provinical Facebook groups for teachers and networked by providing a few free classes in pubs/schools.
Teaching online/by Skype is well established in France and there are many companies offering this option. This is of particular interest to the busy business professional who cannot easily take an hour or two out of the day to attend a conventional class. If you are a freelance teacher, we would suggest offering Skype classes as an option to your students.
Living expenses are especially high in Paris; something to bear in mind as a new teacher. So you might want to think about more attractive alternatives in the provincial towns and even in the holiday areas, where accommodation is less expensive (out of season) and the competition less fierce. It may be easier to pick up extra private tuition and even exchange lessons for cheap accommodation. One of our former Global English graduates advocates renting and enjoying the country, moving from place to place and has easily picked up work wherever she has been.
France is such a popular destination for our TESOL course graduates, we have written a free guide to teaching there.

Human nails are growing faster
Your finger and toenails are growing faster than they would have 70 years ago, according to the Daily Mail. It sounds like nonsense, but it's apparantly true.
Research published in in the Journal Of The European Academy Of Dermatology And Venereology last week found that the average thumbnail grows at 3.55mm a month, compared to the 3mm a month reported by a study in 1938.
Our modern-day diet could be the cause, say researchers from the University of North Carolina. Unfortunately I haven't been able to access the paper to read their full results, but another explanation does occur to me: perhaps the 1938 study was simply inaccurate, and nails continue to grow at the same rate they always have.
Green energy
Trees contain enough power to run a small electric circuit, scientists at the University of Washington have found. Although the energy output is very small, it could be put to use powering sensors to monitor environmental conditions or forest fires.
Using nanotechnology components which do not require much power, the team created a circuit that uses an average of 10 nanowatts. By comparison, a 100W lightbulb uses 10 billion times as much power. The results will soon be published in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Transactions on Nanotechnology.
Despite their success, the researchers don't yet understand where the tree power comes from, according to one of the paper's co-authors, Babak Parviz:
"It's not exactly established where these voltages come from. But there seems to be some signaling in trees, similar to what happens in the human body but with slower speed,
"I'm interested in applying our results as a way of investigating what the tree is doing. When you go to the doctor, the first thing that they measure is your pulse. We don't really have something similar for trees."

Occupied Iraq Report
One Year After the Invasion, Iraqi and International Human Rights
Organizations Plan Three Days of Solidarity with Iraqi People Suffering
Under Occupation
Andrea Schmidt
March 14, 2004
In the week leading up to the anniversary of the last year's US-led invasion of Iraq, communities around the world are mobilizing to march again to say no to war and to occupation.
Here in Iraq, over the past week, the occupation has wormed its way ever deeper into Iraq's soil and into its future. The interim constitution, known as the Transitional Administrative Law, which will govern the transition of power to an appointed government in June was signed by the Interim Governing Council on Monday, after a number of false starts. And in spite of the transition to a nominally 'sovereign' -- if unelected -- Iraqi government in June, the US has announced that it will maintain military control of Iraq's security forces for two years. A US general will be at the helm of a multinational security force which will include the Iraqi army, and a second US general will head up the Operations unit.
The announcement comes as Iraqi and international organizations prepare "Three Days of Solidarity with Iraqi People Suffering Under Occupation", a series of events that will be held in Baghdad from Tuesday, March 16th to Friday, March 19th and which aim to denounce the large-scale violation of Iraqis' human rights by occupation forces over the past year.
The Days of Solidarity are being called under the slogan: "After three decades of human rights abuses under the old regime, we don't need to endure any more violations!" The events will provide a forum for individuals whose rights have been violated by occupation forces, and their families to come and tell their stories. Their stories will be documented by a team of human rights lawyers, in the view of eventually submitting them to the Ministry of Human Rights of Iraq and the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
What sort of stories? Last week I accompanied Paola and Ismail, two human rights activists, to a town just North of Baghdad, where we met with two families with direct experience of the brutality of occupation forces. Ismail Daoud works with the Association for the Defense of Human Rights in Iraq, and Paola Gasparoli is an international working with theOccupation Watch Center. Both organizations are involved in putting together the "Three Days of Solidarity."
Last January, they released a report on the CPA's compensation process, according to which Iraqis who have suffered theft, damages, injury or death of a relative at the hands of US occupying forces in a 'non-combat situation' can file a claim for financial restitution for their losses. The report described in detail the sorts of violations committed by occupation forces. Last week's trip was the sort of visit that Paola and Ismail have made numerous times over the past several months -- a fact that in no sense diminished the horrific nature of the stories the families recounted.
The first story goes like this: One night in late December, US forces exploded the door of the family's home. They pulled everyone from their beds, leaving some of the women no time to put on hijab. They were looking for the eldest brother, who was in Baghdad for the night. They pushed the two younger brothers and the father onto the ground, held them at gunpoint and demanded to know where the brother was. They beat the father, who is diabetic and has heart problems. They ransacked the house, throwing the Qu'ran onto the ground and stomping on it in the process. Finally, they arrested the middle brother and took the eldest sister hostage, saying that the brother they were searching for would be sure to turn up if they arrested her too.
While in detention, the brother was interrogated and tortured. Lying on the ground, his head was stomped on by US soldiers, and he was repeatedly beaten. First they wanted to know where his brother was. Then they wanted him to name people in old pictures they had taken from his family house -- many of them of people he didn't know, in photos taken before he was born. They threatened to kill his sisters if he didn't cooperate. Then they asked him to inform on his friends. Ultimately they tortured him until he led them to a friend's house.
Three days later, the older brother had returned from Baghdad and, hearing from the rest of his family what had happened, he went to the police station where his siblings were being held. The authorities there did not arrest him, and questioned him only briefly, although he had been the ostensible target of the search operation. Finally, all three siblings were released together. But the beatings he received in detention have left the young man, roughly my age, deaf in his left ear and with blurry vision in his left eye.
The second story was told by a family mourning the murder of their son by occupation forces. On a night in January, their son was returning from a nearby town with his cousin. The two young men were stopped by Iraqi police at a checkpoint, searched and then told to proceed onward. Then they were then stopped by US soldiers, who first searched them and then let them go, then stopped them again and forced them into their armed personel carrier. Next to the river, the soldiers made both men get out of the car, and at gun point, obliged them to jump into the river just below the dam, where water fell with greatest force. The cousin was lucky and was able to grab onto a branch that saved his life. The son drowned.
His family found his body in a small river behind the dam. They buried him, and went to the US military to demand some sort of justice. The US military denied categorically that the murder had taken place; its soldiers would never perpetrate such crimes. The family told them they had witnesses, and the military demanded that an autopsy be done on the body. The family went to the Islamic Council, and received permission to exhume their son's body. Now they are waiting for occupation authorities to fly in a US military doctor from Washington, who alone, it seems, is competent enough to examine the body.
Faced with stories such as these, the disingenuity of the basic premises of the compensation process is patently obvious. How could even the most 'fair' and accessible of processes adequately compensate a family for the loss of their son, or a young man for the loss of his hearing and his sight, or a young woman for the trauma of being taken hostage to lure one brother and manipulate another? How could even the best and most generous compensation process imaginable mitigate or erase the injustice of an illegal occupation pursued for purposes of pillage and global dominance? Yet, as Paola and Ismail's report pointed out, the US compensation process is far from fair or generous; it heaps insult upon injury. Getting through the bureaucracy is a Kafkaesque experience for Iraqis, which they frequently endure only to end up with a "bureaucratic smile" and the dismissal of their cases on the grounds that the crimes were committed 'in a combat situation.' (A link to the full report is included at the end of this email.)
Equally egregious violations of the basic rights of detainees are being perpetrated by occupying forces in detention centers across Iraq. The Christian Peacemaker Team in Iraq authored a report on the inhumane treatment of Iraqi detainees by occupation forces in December 2003. At the end of February, they began a 40 day campaign, fasting and praying in public squares in Baghdad and in towns in the surrounding area, in order to denounce these violations and to demand just treatment for all detainees: access to a lawyer, being informed of their charges, access to their families, freedom from torture and physical and psychological abuse, water, and bathroom facilities.
At each vigil in Al-Tahrir square in Baghdad, hundreds of people approach the line of CPTers who hold large pictures of detainees. Some tell stories of their own detention, or the detention of one of their loved ones. Some speak out of curiosity, asking the CPT members why, as foreigners, and as American foreigners no less, they care. Some ask challenging questions, questions the vast majority of the anti-occupation movement must reckon with: "Why weren't you here when Saddam was ?".
The "Three Days of Solidarity" will be built around these stories, around issues related to compensation and detention, and on the obligations of occupying forces to provide for the security of civilians according to the Geneva conventions. On Thursday, the day devoted to the rights of detainees, families will be invited to join the CPT's vigil in Al-Tahrir Square. Then families, supporters and members of the convening organizations will march from Al-Tahrir Square to CPA headquarters in the Green Zone to demand just treatment for all those detained.
The almost laughable understatement of the banner slogan speaks volumes about some of the realities of the occupation: After three decades of human rights abuses under the old regime, Iraqi people reallly don't need to endure any more violations.

There are number of ways to integrate into fleet management system, they depend on specific of each fleet management system and clients reqirements. We will help you integrate quickly and easy in accordance to your business development plans.
We do it for free and with minimum effort from your side.
As one of the market-dominant fuel sensors, Omnicomm sensors protocols have been integrated into more than 100 partner terminals. We have installed our sensors on 700 000 vehicles worldwide. We know how to build on-board data colletion and display system on any vehicle with any number of tanks and operational units. Our analog and digital sensor protocols are well documented and support streaming of sensor data or request/polling of sensor data.
All data collected by Omnicomm Online can be routed to third party servers as the data is being collected. This rapid cloning and dissemination of data allows your own applications to have the same raw data that our services rely on to provide reporting.
Should new fuel reporting reports be identified or required, we will develop them with our partners and manage and maintain them moving forward.
Whether data is from sensors, geospacial details, other telematics information – data is collected, shaped, and then routed to the appropriate third party applications/services. The shaping element of our workflow saves your terminal engineers time – all we require is development documentation on the data structures to parse and shape data to suit our needs. All integration work performed in OmniComm Online is performed by our own development staff, removing any development workload from our partners.
Our partners are able to gain secure access to their customer data to facilitate access to normalized and rationalized fuel data that we collect and report on. Sometimes this normalized data needs to be presented and correlated with other fleet management data to produce intelligence – such as providing a context of standard deviation for fuel usage when performing certain types of functions/work. This data is available through well defined web services APIs or through a direct connection to the database.

With the goal of creating a group to promote the interest o Baltimore businesses exclusively, local businesspeople launched the Baltimore City Chamber of Commerce last night with an organizational meeting that doubled as a rally.
"If there wasn't a need for this organization, I wouldn't be here," Gov. William Donald Schaefer told the 50 people at the meeting, held at the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors headquarters on West Mount Royal Avenue. "There is a need. Are you going to fill the void?"
Several months in the making, the new Chamber of Commerce was created in reaction to the increasing sentiment among Baltimore companies that the city's main business organization -- the Greater Baltimore Committee -- was more involved in regional issues and failed to address city problems.

With so much happening in Nairobi, I can be difficult to pick an event to check out over the weekend.
When you scroll through your Instagram or Facebook accounts, you'll quickly notice that we get adverts recommending pretty much everything!
From what products to buy, to what lifestyle they think you should be living. In fact my personal recommendation is that if you're trying to avoid people knowing where you are, I wouldn't RSVP to events on Facebook. If your not aware of this yet, if you confirm your attendance to an event on social media all your friends can see your planning on going! (or at least seem interested in going). Hence if your trying to do things as they say "chini ya maji" this wouldn't be the best idea…
Sorry I'm side tracking, back to the topic of chocolate…
What I'm trying to say in very many words, is that due to the power of social media, I found out about the Chocolate Festival event at Dust D2 Hotel (and yes I am admitting that social media worked on me) thanks to a notification that one of my friends on Facebook was planning on attending the event).
11th February 2017
I showed up with a close friend @ChefCindyUgi who walked me through the nights exotic delicacies (explaining what all the fancy words that I couldn"t understand from the top chef's attending the event actually meant).
Some of you maybe wondering, whats the damage to the bank account if you attended the festival?
It was 1000 KSH to get 4 pieces of gourmet chocolate deserts on your plate, all made by the world known executive chef Anton Gasnier, of Dusit D2 Nairobi.
I know you might be thinking… WHAT???! But this isn't a chocolate bar of Cadbury's (not to sound snobbish because I LOVE Cadbury's chocolates) but the chocolate was made from scratch (tempering as they call it), and to top that off the mixture of flavours and fresh fruit were in my opinion, worth the money.
I not only got to take pleasure in a genius of a chefs creations but the ambiance was relaxing and I can't wait to attend the next event.
However on a side note, it was a very romantic set up so maybe next time I will try take a date just because it would be a shame to go again knowing how cute it could be with a special someone.
So the next time you feel like trying something new and the chocolate festival event reminder pops up on your social media pages, don't be afraid of trying it out.
