Gartner L2 Digital IQ Index
The 2015 Digital IQ Index: Sportswear assesses the digital performance of 59 Sportswear brands in the United States, spanning three product categories: Footwear, Apparel and Accessories. While Index brands have benefitted from the significant outperformance of activewear the last three years, this trend has attracted new competition from fashion brands. In response, Sportswear brands have escalated their ad wars by promoting traditional brand marketing at the expense of accelerating digital investments. As a result, Index brands lag other categories in e-commerce sales mix and adoption of omnichannel investments. This study examines enterprise investments, brand visibility across numerous platforms, and digital performance across key metrics.

The Bit Stages system helps horse owners narrow their focus from Reinsman's large selection of bits to the right bit for their situation. Reinsman's Bit Stages approach focuses on the horse and rider in their specific situation, as different events and circumstances call for different bit choices. The bit you use to trail ride in, may not be the best choice for the arena, or for when your junior rodeo star steps up on mom or dad's horse. Same horse, different situation or rider, different bit. It's about achieving effective communication and control in each individual situation.

Milan Fashion Week F/W 2016 - Day 2
Highlights Include - Calvin Klein, No. 21, Bottega Veneta, Vivienne Westwood, Damir Doma, Boglioli, Salvatore Ferragamo
Calvin Klein - Personally I think Calvin Klein kills the runway, but then you go to the store and just end up leaving with underwear. Am I alone on that? Also, gold... interesting!
No. 21 - Love the jackets! Obviously. I also love anything monochromatic! The 3rd look is perfect.
Bottega Veneta - I really like the flannel jacket.
Vivienne Westwood - Two solid looks from the Vivienne Westwood show. They are for two very different people, but both amazing in detail and fit.
Damir Doma - I find the length of these jackets to be interesting, not something I could see in the streets of Toronto, but maybe New York or London.
Boglioli - All the fabric choices look so luxurious!
Salvatore Ferragamo - I have a feeling these jackets would be worth more than my home. Beautiful though.

The church music program includes an adult choir and a youth and children's music program. Ours is a music loving church, and the special music of the church is enriched by vocal solos and small ensembles as well as instrumental offerings. The organ is a mainstay feature of the service, and piano, handbells, flute, violin, trumpet, guitar, and other instruments frequently enhance our services.
In addition to Sunday morning service music, the various musical entities provide a Christmas program and a spring concert in May.
The sanctuary choir provides anthems, the choral call to worship, and the benediction response for most Sunday morning worship services and helps lead in congregational singing. While our services are traditional in style, the choir sings a variety of musical genre—classical, hymn arrangements, newly composed anthems, spirituals, ethnic pieces, and contemporary Christian numbers. The choir meets for rehearsal Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00. Interested in singing with us? Contact the choir director for more information.
The youth and children's programs are held seasonally. Activities include a light meal, a devotional, music—including handbells, singing, and rhythm instruments, games, play, and crafts. The children's program is for children in 1st through 5th grade, and the youth group includes 6th through 12th graders. Non-church members are welcome to bring their children to participate and grow with us. Contact the choir director for more information.

Escape the crowds and travel Europe in winter
To travel Europe in winter is to see the region in a different light: all the physical highlights remain the same, only with the added benefit of far smaller crowds. But at street level the region adopts a slightly different attitude as it warms up during the colder months with healthy doses of festive cheer. And of course there is the extra bonus with the chance of seeing any one of the charming capitals wearing a coat of fresh snow!

The miserable have no other medicine, but only hope. – William Shakespeare
What Does Restless Legs Syndrome Feel Like?
The feeling of restless legs has been described many different ways; As prickly, jittery, pulling, an electrical feeling, pressure, fidgety, ants in the pants, heebie-jeebies, a deep ache, a cramp that doesn't fully develop and on and on. Although Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is treatable but not yet curable, the only way to find relief is to either keep moving or find a doctor that trusts you know what symptoms you are experiencing and prescribes medication.
Who Does it Affect?
According to the National Sleep Foundation, Restless Legs Syndrome affects approximately 10% of adults in the U.S. Researchers believe that RLS is commonly unrecognized or misdiagnosed as insomnia or other neurological, muscular or orthopedic conditions.
What is it?
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurologic sensorimotor disorder that is characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs when they are at rest. The urge to move the legs is usually, but not always, accompanied by unpleasant sensations as described above.
It is less common but possible to have RLS symptoms in the arms, face, torso, and genital region. RLS symptoms occur during inactivity and they are temporarily relieved by movement or pressure. Symptoms of RLS are most severe in the evening and nighttime hours and can profoundly disrupt a patient's sleep and daily life.
It's been my personal experience that many doctor's do not even understand the severity and magnitude of daily disruption RLS actually has on a person's life. I've been told as recently as this week that RLS is a nighttime affliction alone and is not experienced during daylight hours. The latter statement for most RLS sufferers is so very not true as we have all experienced a bout of RLS during wakefulness at some point in the disease process. There is simply no rhyme or reason to RLS and an ignorant statement to make. Especially coming from someone who has not ever experienced the agony of RLS.
What Causes RLS?
The root cause of RLS is Unknown. Yet, they have broken it down to two types. They are:
Primary RLS is the most common type of RLS. It is also referred to as familial (because it is hereditary) or idiopathic (because the causes are unknown) RLS.
Secondary RLS , on the other hand, is believed to be caused by a separate underlying medical condition or in association with the use of certain drugs.
For myself, there is a double whammy. It's familial as well as medicinally induced because of taking Rexulti. Rexulti causes restlessness as a side affect. I was taking it before bed as I do most of the psychotropic's that I'm on, because it's easier. As it's been my routine for years. However, I'm having to learn to take Rexulti with my morning doses instead.
Who Gets RLS?
Both men and women and can start at any age. It may be confused with growing pains or restlessness when experienced by children. In addition, the severity of the disorder appears to increase with age. Older patients experience symptoms more frequently and for longer periods of time.
How is it Treated?
The key to living with RLS is managing the symptoms. Lifestyle changes, like limiting caffeine and alcohol, taking iron supplements or a hot bath, or initiating an exercise plan, and seeing a heath care professional to discuss treatment options can help. Everyone experiences RLS differently, so it is important to work with your health care professional to determine the best way for you to control your symptoms. A detailed list of some other lifestyle changes you and your health care professional may want to consider include:
- Checking to see if there is an underlying iron or vitamin deficiency and then possibly supplementing your diet with iron, vitamin B12 or folate.
- Looking at medications you may be taking which could make RLS symptoms worse. These may include drugs used to treat high blood pressure, heart conditions, nausea, colds, allergies, and depression.
- Looking at any herbal and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking to see if they could be worsening your RLS.
- Identifying habits and activities that worsen RLS symptoms.
- Looking at your diet to assure it is healthy and balanced.
- Eliminating or lessening your alcohol intake.
- Looking at various activities that may help you personally deal with RLS.
- These could include walking, stretching, taking a hot or cold bath, massage, acupressure, or relaxation techniques.
- Also keeping your mind engaged with activities like discussions, needlework or video games when you have to stay seated.
- Implementing a program of good sleep habits.
- Reducing or eliminating caffeine from your diet to aid in general sleep hygiene .
Anyone going through a bout of RLS knows you simply can not sit still enough to do needlework. At least, I can not! I'm one that has to pace aimlessly about the house, porch or yard (weather permitting) while going through a spell. I got the above ideas from the National Sleep Foundation. Love how lighthearted the ideas seem when I type them out, but during a spell, nothing is lighthearted at all. It's miserable and maddening.
How Do I Know if I Have RLS?
While there are no lab tests to diagnose RLS, your doctor may be able to make an official diagnosis given your responses to several simple questions about your symptoms. These include:
- Do you have an urge to move your legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable leg sensations?
- Do your sensations begin or worsen during rest or inactivity, such as lying down or sitting?
- Are your sensations partially or totally relieved by movement, such as walking or stretching?
- Are your sensations worse in the evening or at night, or do they only occur in the evening and at night?
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to talk things over with your doctor.

The uncrowned queen of Goa's beaches, situated in South Goa is about a mile long, this incredibly beautiful crescent cove is fringed by a shady rim of coconut palms and the whole beach is hemmed in at either end by rocky crags.
Set within a coconut groove, Brendon Guest House is owned and managed by a wonderful Goan family from Palolem. Clean, hygienic, economical and scenic beauty is what the huts at Brendon Guest House offer; Internet facility to stay in touch with your loved ones, lockers for safe keeping of your valuables, security and courteous staff to take care of you and your holidays.
For over 15 years from small thatched roof huts, Brendon Guest House have value-added and developed their property to self contained beach huts and cottages with plethora of facilities of a hotel. This year we have added 7 new wooden cottages over-looking the sea, to the existing two large wooden cottages right on the beach. All these cottages offer modern facilities like split air-conditioning, LCD television with satellite cable, fridge and 24 hour instant hot water shower.
Fernandes Wooden Huts has been created keeping in mind their guests needs and comforts. These aesthetically designed huts are made of wood so you can experience the Natural Beauty. This season they have built only 12 huts, 5 with sea view and 7 huts built in the coconut groove along with other tropical trees and flowering plants. All the huts come with a spacious balcony.
Located at the northern end of this idyllic beach lies the Coconut Grove Eco-friendly Beach Cottages. Ensconced in a thick wooded coconut and cashew grove is Coconut Grove's new property consisting 12 cottages that is just 45 meters away from the sea shore. All these eco-friendly cottages are built using local materials such as rice hay, bamboo and local woods and have outdoor seating areas and are with attached toilet and bath inside.

Assistive devices used by physically challenged persons are going to cost more in the new GST regime. All such items which are at present exempted from different forms of taxes like, sales tax, excise and customs duty, will attract 5 to 18 percent tax from 1st July, 2017 onwards. The credit of finding out this new way of earning some extra revenue for the government treasure goes to the GST Council meeting held at Srinagar on 18th May last. Just to mention a few decisions of the GST Council, 18 percent duty will be imposed on Braille type-writer and car for physically challenged persons. The GST Council has proposed a 12 percent duty on Braille paper, Braille watches and hearing aids. 5 percent duty has been proposed on parts of essential assistive devices like artificial limbs, wheel chair, tricycles, crutches, walking frames and braillers. Companies do not consider us prospective customers; the government does.
Section 17 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (put into effect on 15th June, 2017) proposes among other things measures for promoting and education for persons with disabilities:
17. The appropriate Government and the local authorities shall take the following measures for the purpose of section 16, namely:– ……
(g) to provide books, other learning materials and appropriate assistive devices to students with benchmark disabilities free of cost up to the age of eighteen years.
Section 29 of the same Act further lays down provisions for facilitating cultural and recreational activities of persons with disabilities:
29. The appropriate Government and the local authorities shall take measures to promote and protect the rights of all persons with disabilities to have a cultural life and to participate in recreational activities equally with others which include,– ……
(g) developing technology, assistive devices and equipments to facilitate access and inclusion for persons with disabilities in recreational activities ……
We wonder if hon'ble members of the GST Council remembered at all the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 during the consultation. We cannot believe that one wing of the Central Government is seeking to promote development and use of assistive devices, while another wing is levying taxes on artificial limbs, crutches and Braille paper. We do not know how much revenue these assistive devices will add to the exchequer. But the extra expenses will cost physically challenged persons a lot. A very negligible section of the visually challenged persons can read Braille books. These books are already 3 to 5 times higher than print editions, taking into account the cost of paper alone. 12 percent tax on Braille paper will make Braille books costlier. Blind Persons' Association is one of the handful of producers of Braille books in India. Very few organisations have dared to produce Braille books owing to excessive cost of production and lack of purchasing power of the visually challenged readers.
Hearing aids, artificial limbs and wheel chairs are still a dream for many physically challenged persons. They will forget even to dream. In India hardly a few non-profit organisations provides physically challenged persons with different aids and appliances. They have to depend on very limited resources.
There is yet another aspect. Just one reputed company makes Braille watches on a small scale. Levy of 5 percent tax will not encourage this watch company. Any other company will think twice before producing any assistive device.
The quality of assistive devices produced in India is not up to the mark as corporate houses seldom venture in this barren field. The GST Council should have considered the effect of these new taxes on this non-profit industry.
Blind Persons' Association and many other organisations have appealed to the Union Finance Minister to refrain from levying any duty on all assistive devices. These devices are already too costly without tax. New taxes will mean extra burden for the users many of whom may have to dispense with essential equipments like hearing aid and wheel chair.

The Mind behind the Mayhem
I wonder if anyone out there knows what it's like to be 20 years old and a CEO. Well, I do. But ease down folk, just because I own Empire Media Entertainment, doesn't mean that I am raking in the dough. I am the proud owner of a company that makes no money. GREAT! Well, since we don't lose any that balances things out. One day, things will pan out and we will put los dinero into it, I am sure we will find high. It isn't about that to me though, it's about doing something great. We won't stop until we do.

President's Message: Bruce Anderson Reviews TPC Desktop 2014 – Mark's Tech Corner: TPC Desktop 2014 is Out the Door – Eric Tanikawa: Ultimate Update Special –
President's Message:
Bruce Anderson Reviews TPC Desktop 2014
The February edition of Professional Surveyor Magazine includes a Software Review of TPC Desktop 2014 by Bruce Anderson, LS. Bruce is a long time user of TPC and did a great job talking about what makes TPC Desktop different and better than the other guys. Bruce just retired from his county surveyor position and brings his perspective as both a public and private surveyor to the article.
I took an extra minute or two, as I read his article, and looked at the drawing he included. It's pretty small, but it has Traverse PC written all over it. The title block, legend, scale bar, north arrow, border, etc. It's all right from TPC.
I certainly admired how Bruce had put the drawing together using the tools from TPC Desktop, but I also raced back in time, a long way back, to when I used to do drawings like this in CAD. It was a lot of work back then and not much fun.
Many of you, like myself and Bruce, are enjoying life with Traverse PC every day, and producing some great drawings in the process. Way to go Bruce!
PS – Did you see the postcard from Barbara Cooper in India?
John Balcom, MSE, PLS
Mark's Tech Corner:
TPC Desktop 2014 is Out the Door
We are all done getting TPC Desktop 2014 out the door! If you are a TPC Connection member, you should have received a download link along with your new Serial Number(s) and Installation Key(s). I checked our license server and many of you have already installed it, validated your license and are up and running. If you read this and think we might have missed you, please give us call or email email@example.com.
I am talking with folks every day who tell me TPC Desktop 2013 and now TPC Desktop 2014 are just working better and how much they love the new features! I thank them and tell them they're right about the program running better. We have stepped up both our development and automated testing to make TPC faster, stronger, better… (almost bionic if you know what I mean). And that is going to continue. We now run over a thousand tests before we release even a hotfix patch. And that number is increasing every week. Our hope is that this translates into a better experience for you as a TPC users. So far, from what I hear, it sounds like we're well on our way.
Technical Support Note:
If we have used CrossLoop with you for training or technical support, you should be aware that CrossLoop has gone out of business. You can remove the CrossLoop application through your Windows Control Panel.
We are using a different tool now that we will introduce you to the next time we need to share computer screens.
Eric Tanikawa:
Ultimate Update Special
We don't usually pitch sales in the newsletters, but I am going to make an exception. If you have an old copy of TPC, you need to visit our web site today and look for the Ultimate Update Special. I have been with Traverse PC since 2001 and I don't remember a time when we have made it so affordable foranyone to update their old copy of TPC (no matter how old)! And I don't know when we'll be able to do it again.
Here is the skinny – TPC Desktop 2014: It's the best version we've ever released, and we want you to have it. We don't advertise that it works on Windows XP, but it does, and will probably be the last release that will. We know that not everyone needs training for a new version, so you can buy the download only (no DVD, printed learning guides or training) or pay a little more and get the TPC Connection with all of those plus agile releases. So like I said, we don't usually make sales pitches in the newsletters, but this is Ultimate Update Special and it's only available through the middle of this month.

Here's another (timely) sports piece from Howie Espenshied. Any time the US faces Russia in Olympic men's ice hockey, as they did on February 15th, the "Miracle on Ice" game in Lake Placid, NY in 1980 is brought to mind. This one ended much the way that one did, with the US securing a dramatic 1 goal victory. However, noticeably absent was the Cold War setting that helped the ending of that legendary game become arguably the…

Happy New Year! I hope you are feeling fired up and positive about the fresh new year ahead and all the exciting possibilities that 2015 offers?
I love the arrival of the new year. It's a great reminder to take stock of where we are in our lives – to think about what's working well, and also what we'd like to change. It's the opportunity to step back from our daily lives briefly, and creatively dream about what we'd like to achieve in the coming year – no holds barred!
Visualising what a successful 2015 would look like for you is the most important thing you can do ensure you have a great year. However once you have the image of what you want to achieve in your mind, it's just as critical to spend a couple of hours planning out the steps you're going to take to achieve your dream.
For small businesses dreaming of taking stepping up their success this year, creating a 2015 marketing plan (that you commit to following!) is the most important step towards significant increase in sales growth.
Here's how to create your very own 2015 Small Business Marketing Plan to get what you want from this year…
1. Overview
Start with an overview of your current marketing activity – what have you been spending time/money on in the last year to find (and keep) more customers?
- What worked well?
- What didn't work so well?
- What can you learn from this?
2. Goals
What do you want to achieve with your marketing this year?
- Generate more sales? What total annual sales figures do you dream of?
- Attract new customers? How many? Spending how much?
- Encourage existing customers to spend more? How much and how often?
- Promote a new product, service or benefit? How much do you want to sell? Who to?
- Gain more followers on social media? Increase your email list? What numbers would you like to see here?
Think about all the goals you want to achieve from your marketing efforts this year, and define the numbers you'd like to aim for.
3. Strategy
Who do you want your Marketing to attract, who is your ideal customer or client?
Think about the demographics – gender, age, where they live, socioeconomic status, what they like to do, how they like to be communicated with, etc.
What are your closest competitors doing? Is there anything you can learn from them, and adapt to suit your business?
4. Activities
Which Marketing activities will you use to reach your goals?
- Website content (e.g. blogs, reports, fact sheets, videos, webinars, podcasts, etc.)
- Social Media
- Advertising (traditional/GoogleAds/FacebookAds…)
- Networking
- Events/exhibitions
- Direct Mail
- Referrals
5. Implementation
How will you implement your Marketing plan?
- Which Marketing activities will you carry out and when?
- How much budget and time will you invest?
- Who will be responsible for making it happen?
6. Review
A critical part of your plan is to regularly review how it is going, ideally monthly, but at least quarterly.
- Are you on track to achieve your goals?
- What's working, what isn't?
- Opportunity to adjust what marketing activities you have chosen, or how you are implementing them, to get you back on track to achieve the numbers you want for the year
If you spend just a couple of hours focussed on sketching out your answers to the above to create your small business marketing plan for 2015, and then keep it visible where you will regularly look at it, and be reminded to act on it, you are sure to have a very successful year!
If you're a small business owner looking for help to achieve your goals and grow your sales through effective marketing, please get in touch.

Preparing Your Closet for the Fall and Winter Season
A few years ago, I was in a store behind a smartly dressed young man. He was picking out a dress for his wife for an event that they were to attend that evening. I commented on the dress and he gave me some brief details about the event. I told him I was shocked that she would trust him with the task of picking out a dress, to which he replied, "She sat me down to watch The Devil Wears Prada and I have a better understanding of fashion. Now, she trusts me." You know what? I think he has a point. It seems that since movies like The Devil Wears Prada, The September Issue and the wildly successful Sex and the City, we have all become more fashion conscious. In an earlier post Personally Obsessed, I explained just how inspired I have become with the new offereing of my favorite boutiques. I feel the energy and it's contagious!
- The first thing you want to do is go through the summer things before you pack them away. Take the time now to send sundresses to the cleaners, repair damaged heels on those strappy sandals, and get rid of anything that barely made it to the end of the season. (That includes worn out t-shirts and ill-fitting bathing suits.)
- Next, you want to store items in carefully labeled containers. Fold everything nicely and be sure to pack them in cedar or lavender chips.
- Make a list of everything that you'll need to replace and lay it on top of the stacks. Next summer, you'll know exactly what you'll need to purchase to make it through the summer.
- While the closet is empty, vacuum the floor, check shelves for damage, and if time permits, give it a fresh coat of paint.
- As you are pulling out your fall and winter wardrobe, remember to hang them on the slim huggable hangers. These hangers are idea for storing tons of items within a limited space. There are many types to choose from, so spend some time looking for the color and style that fits your needs.
- Use boot trees to keep boots orderly. I don't store shoes in boxes during the season that I'll be wearing them because I need to see what's going on. I do save boxes to store them out of season, but you should do what works best for you.
- Store a small basket on a shelf in your closet that holds a repair kit, lint roller and other wardrobe necessities. Buttons pop off, coats gather lint and you want to look fabulous this fall, so don't let the details go unnoticed.
- Finally, monitor the temperature in the closet. In the winter months it's easy to want a house that's warm and cozy. The problem with that is the heat can cause problems if you have large amounts of fur or leather. Don't overheat your closet or bedroom and leave enough space between garments so they can breath.

People have been staring up into the sky since the beginning of time. Holy men studied the universe to make crop/planting season decisions, Greeks developed theories about the universe, Romans added to these theories, sixteenth-century Copernicus modeled the solar system and Brahe and Kepler theorized about planetary motions, and seventeenth century brought the views of Gaileo and Newton. The list of modern astronomers is too long to mention; of course, Halley, Herschel, and Einstein are at the top. And still contributions are being presented today. Astronomy is like the universe; it has no beginning, and it has no end.
There are two Astronomy Weeks; one in the spring, and one in the fall. Astronomy Week encompasses Astronomy Day which this fall is October 4th, so Fall Astronomy Week runs September 29 - October 5 this year.
My family recently watched "When We Left Earth: the NASA Missions". We were riveted to the tv screen. While subbing at our local high school, I was asked to show "In the Shadow of the Moon", the class didn't finish it, but I borrowed the dvd from the teacher and finished it. I recommend both of these films; both were totally brilliant!
Here are two fun websites to check out:
This first website allows learners to match space shapes with their shadows!
This second site allows learners to create the solar system. It is cool because the kiddos can put the planets in their correct orbits and watch how the planets spin at different rates.
And here's a really fun activity to play outside with your kids.
Place a yellow piece of cardboard (the Sun) in the center of ropes spread out to simulate planet orbits. On the ropes are buckets with the 8 planet names (sorry Pluto). The student tries to toss bean bag asteroids into each planet bucket.

A Nicaragua Peace Corps Blog
Today I found a Nicaragua Peace Corps Blog by a PCV in Nueva Segovia. There's some good stories in there. It made me reminiscent for a few times when I remember hiking in the mountains around Esteli, eating rosquillas, talking to the friendly people sitting in front of their houses. As long as you are up for adventure, Nicaragua is a great place to visit and tromp around for a few months, practicing your Spanish and riding horses.

Building a large multidisciplined client account
Ashfield has developed a quality partnership with a leading global heart valve manufacturer, Edwards Lifesciences. Initially tasked with publication-related activities in 2016 through one of Ashfield's agencies, Watermeadow, the account has grown to now include communications strategy across Edwards' entire external stakeholder framework, delivered through Ashfield Digital & Creative. Ashfield has since solved challenges from targeting therapy awareness through to product differentiation, whilst delivering excellence across events, digital and sales force execution.
Commenting on the partnership, Dirk Iden, Senior Manager, Marketing, Transcatheter Heart Valves at Edwards Lifesciences said "Through Ashfield's sophisticated behavioural change approach we collaborated well to shift from a tactically heavy approach to a refined strategic approach which now allows me to measure success against tangible KPIs. Ashfield is great to work with and it feels like a true partnership".

The first lesson is vital for understanding the students needs and determine their ability. This is normally done by tests, speaking or engaging games- depending on age. Afterwards, I like to go straight into the teaching process baring in mind the students and parents request. I use Russian course books throughout the lesson.
I use the comparative method of teaching based on understanding the similarities and differences between the Russian and English languages. My lessons are conducted in a Socratic style, i.e. it is always a conversation between the tutor and a pupil on the subject. I offer a large number of worksheets and other resources, in hard and electronic version.
I have a big experience in learning languages, I have been learning English and French for 8 years so I know many tips and techniques on learning a language.
As a private tutor I have to develop course materials for each of my students. I begin by understanding who my students are and what they want to learn; then I decide on how to measure student learning, devise study plans, identify learning objectives and prepare materials to support the study.
I use individual approach, identifying a student's best way of learning and focusing on student's strengths to encourage them and eliminate any uncertainties about the knowledge of language they might have. My lessons are never boring, students can ask as many questions as they like, because the main goal is understanding material.
I am a native russian speaker. At the first meeting we will test your russian skill level and what you want to learn and will decide, what we gonna do.
I find that each student will have different aspects they want to concentrate on and different outcomes they want so I make sure to change the lessons are taught in a way that matches what the students want.
I teach all levels and age groups of 14 years old and up. I tailor my lessons depending on the skill required, be that conversation, grammar or reading. Having studied Latvian, French, German and English myself I can relate to and anticipate any difficulties of learning a new language and always try to plan lessons in a fun and challenging way.
I teach Russian for the primary,secondary,adult beginners,intermediate and advanced level Russian language.My lessons are based on your targets and needs in language. Tuition for children ( from 4 year old) and adults.
I believe that the learning process should be fun, engaging and enjoyable, and I will use lots of interesting materials to make you captivated by the fascinating world of Russian language and culture.
I am an experienced tutor and have worked with both children and adults of different age groups. At my classes I use only authentic resources and also I use audio and video materials extensively. I prefer modern and dynamic teaching approach as it allows students to communicate easily learning the language.
Hello! I am an undergraduate student living in London, TV & Movie enthusiast, food lover and a superhero fanatic:) I have multiple experiences in teaching; through volunteering and paid work. I mostly concentrate on intensive conversational training, as I consider speaking to be the most important aspect of learning a new language.
I regularly help beginners at university level with their language, starting with essential Russian grammar and vocabulary which creates a strong base for conversational fluency, I also like to speak to my students in Russian for at least 10 minutes of the lesson as Russian is extremely complex to speak and only practice will improve fluency.
My teaching method entails using authentic media, learning common words first and practising with a native speaker. Figuring out Cyrillic alphabet can be challenging, but I will provide simple techniques to facilitate and accelerate the learning process. I am very patient and eager to find creative techniques to make the learning process simple and fun.
My belief is that you cannot build a house without foundations.
I teach on-line to schoolchildren and students. I use visual materials, problem books, tests, etc. in my work. We also use the interactive whiteboard. I use various methods of teaching. With different students in different ways. An indispensable condition is constant study.
I can teach students of various age group. I base my classes on active learning exercises which are called visual exercises using pictures, images etc. and verbal (linguistic) using words, both in speech and writing. At the beginning of each lesson I name the topic, the goal and what we have to achieve by the end of the lesson. In the end - homework.
A History of Art and Architectural History student at the University of Edinburgh I teach Russian as a native or foreign language. Mostly my students come with IGCSE or IB queries, but I have also taught primary school children. I tailor my sessions to student needs, which are discussed with the parent and/or student before we commence lessons.
My name is Mariia. I am a qualified linguist by profession. Now I'm working on my PhD dissertation in linguistics. Teaching has always been my passion. I've been teaching Russian for 3 years. I can help you to improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. I always use authentic materials with my students.
As a native speaker in Russian (and Ukrainian), I would like to offer my teaching, interpreting and proofreading services to anyone willing to learn the language from scratch or to enhance their current knowledge. My teaching methodology rests upon an individual approach to everyone in order to maximize efficiency and minimize time consumption.
The goal of my teaching activity as for Russian English is communicative direction.I prefer using modern methods of teaching .The most popular ways of mine to create atmosphere of cooperation between teacher and students , making up dialogue ,using language games etc.
My name is Kristine and I am here to help you to learn Russian today. I am a professional native Russian language teacher with plenty of experience in working with absolute beginners and advanced students, adults and kids. My approach to teaching is flexible and fully depends on your needs and requirements. You will find yourself speaking Russian from the lesson one.
When at the age of 12 back in the USSR I took my first English tuition lessons, all I really wanted was to improve my pronunciation. And then I ended up with English being a major part of my entire life: I now live and work in England and it is my son's native language.
I am a reliable student who has finished my A Level studies in Physics, Psychology and Drama, awaiting results. Just starting tutoring, but have a natural ability as commented on by school teachers. Very patient and thorough, helping you succeed.
If you are a complete beginner, I take a fun gentle approach, as learning basics could be overwhelming. I have a great beginners programme which is not only fun, but is very flexible. It contains 20 modules, each module focuses on a different phase and requires at least 5 hours of lessons + 4-5 hours of homework.
My teaching methodology is as follows: - I talk to my students to find out what they think is going well and what can be improved in how they are taught. - I ask the student what they would like to see in their lessons and tailor those to them, alongside gathering their engagement and responses to the ways of teaching. - It is aimed at making students as good as possible.
I will focus on the interests of my students. Each one has its original, unique reason for learning the language. I believe that's the right approach. I believe that's the right approach. I believe that's the right approach.
My teaching method is to ensure strong understanding of every single topic and develop the desire to learn the language by deepening in the culture. Brief historical knowledge will help any essay to achieve the best results as well as successfully pass any interview or just better understand the current position of Russia in the world.
I am open to to tutoring all ages/ skills yet given my experience, I would be most useful for those studying for their Russian A Level or GCSE. In my lessons, I will concentrate on areas of grammar and vocabulary, comprehension and essay writing and speaking practice according to the areas that you are studying in school or college.
First i will spend all the time you want on interpreting phrases you want (except curse!) Then I will try to teach you some alphabet, but not like ABC -trust me on this one it hardly works Then i will challenge YOU to prove your knowledge.

E-Programs: Transforming the Special Needs Community
These "Exceptional Programs" are more than exceptional! They really do change the lives of so many families whom they serve. With more than one-fifth of U.S. households having at least one child with special needs according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This is such a major need in our society, yet it's so often overlooked.
Our E-Programs are here to meet those needs. E-Karate and E-Soccer are designed to give children with special needs a chance to build relationships with peers both with and without special needs, while teaching these kids that fitness can be fun. Social skills and athletic skills are dually developed. And we have a blast while doing so!
Soccer Brings Out the Best of Inclusion
It was 13 years ago in April 2000, when Russ Ewell brought out his kids on a Saturday morning to play soccer with a few other friends and families, some with special needs and some without. Russ has a son with autism and a son with Down syndrome, and both of them were able to enjoy a little exercise, great friendships, and an overall fun time. From what started out as a small family gathering on the fields of Bowditch Middle School in Foster City, came a phenomenal program that the world was looking for–E-Soccer.
What was amazing about E-Soccer's beginning was that the families and kids involved didn't fully realize their extraordinary example of inclusion, or the far-reaching impact that was soon to come. But sure enough, week after week, more and more families brought out their kids and E-Soccer was born.
Kids helping kids was the prevailing theme. Kids with special needs were benefiting from their peers and learning social interaction and developmental skills. Kids without special needs were learning character, leadership, empathy, sacrifice, and service… They may have benefited more than their peers whom they were helping!
The families bonded, the kids bonded, the volunteers bonded, and E-Soccer grew and thrived. It became a shining model for other E-Programs: E-Karate, E-Hoops, and E-Fitness.

Carnivals have been around for a long time. There's a mention of them as far back as the Renaissance period. Carnivals as we know them, were started in the 1800s in the US. What one can expect to see at such an event are amusement rides, card tricks, magic shows, vaudeville acts involving people and animals, food and merchandise.
Traveling Carnivals offered games as a mode of entertainment too. Visitors are enticed into trying their skill at different games and win prizes. No one is sure exactly how and when prizes were handed out but they are a big draw for the young and old alike.
Some of the prizes on offer are stuffed toys, free meal coupons and posters. The most in demand prizes are stuffed toys which cannot be found anywhere else.
Those who want to play have to pay a fee set by booth operator. The players then get a set number of chances to win, for which they get a gift. Often, players are encouraged to keep playing so that they can trade in small prizes for the big one.
Games of chance: These are by far the favorite. Due to the randomness of the outcomes, all players stand a good chance of winning a prize. There are many variations on the theme like Fish Bowl, Ping Pong Ball and Duck Pond.
Games of skill: These are popular too and players are tested on their ability to hit a target. Balls or weapons are used to shoot at targets. Some of the skill games can challenge the physical ability of a player.
Games to expect:
Most games at carnivals are run by honest people and are not rigged. This is done to make extra money from unsuspecting customers. In the past, the odds were against participants. Some may have gotten cheated too – but on the flip side, some games are difficult to win due to the equipment used. Law enforcement officials usually keep an eye and make sure that rigging doesn't happen by testing games and equipment beforehand.

I am in the thick of reading in preparation for the big "D" . . . and I don't mean Dallas (which would be fun). . . or divorce (which would be horrible). No, this "D" is somewhere in the middle and it stands for Dissertation. I plan on defending my prospectus soon. I've already started working on one of my articles. As I was hauling my books around the house this evening I thought I should take a picture so I could remember how much fun I am having—and I'm not being sarcastic. Some days are not fun, but for the most part I enjoy what I am doing.

Using Technology to Fight Distracted Driving
Most of us are well aware of the risks associated with distracted driving, yet many of us still struggle to keep our eyes and minds on the road and our hands on the wheel. Luckily, automobile makers understand our struggle and are designing new features to help us out:
1. Adaptive Cruise Control
Normal cruise control allows the driver to select and maintain a constant speed without having to manually press on the gas. Adaptive cruise control self-adjusts to maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the car ahead. You should never take your eyes off the road but if you do, adaptive cruise control can keep you from rear-ending the car in front of you.
2. Lane Departure Warning Systems
First introduced in 1992 by Mitsubishi in Japan, lane departure warning systems have evolved to include several different technologies. All of them use some combination of video sensors, laser sensors and infrared sensors to understand a vehicles' location in relation to its lane.
Some systems alert the driver when the car is deviating from its lane using a combination of visual, audible and vibration warnings.
Other systems alert the driver and, if the driver doesn't correct for the lane departure, automatically keep the car in its lane. This functionality is referred to as a "lane keeping system" or LKS. Some LKS systems react to departures from the lane, while others proactively ensure that the vehicle remains centered in its lane. The latter systems are sometimes called "lane centering assist."
You should never purposefully take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road but in extraordinary cases these technologies can save lives. If, for instance, a bee starts buzzing around your car or a passenger starts to experience a medical emergency and you inadvertently direct your attention away from the road, these technologies will bring your attention back to your most important responsibility before disaster strikes.
3. Driver-Monitoring
Lane assist systems focus on monitoring what the car is doing in relation to its environment, but other systems monitor what the driver is doing. Using cameras that track facial features, eye focus and head rotation, they will alert a driver when they're not paying enough attention to the road or when their eyelids are drooping.
4. Technology Blockers
Some cars now are equipped with after-market or factory-installed technology blockers. These devices can silence incoming calls and text messages or prevent drivers from using mobile devices to do anything other than use a GPS app or call 911. Still others require that the phone remain locked in a dock before the engine will start.
5. Technology Enhancers
While some systems aim to prevent risky behaviors by blocking technology use, others aim to make the use itself less risky by developing and refining technologies that allow for voice or gesture-based texting and calling. These systems allow drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road to eliminate manual and visual distractions, but they still allow for the cognitive distraction of communication.
These new technologies can do a lot to help prevent fatal mistakes, but the most important and effective safety net will always be a driver's resolve. This message is proudly sponsored by WMC Tri-State Medical Network.

Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine—even if it would be for somebody else.
Book two in the completed Something in the Way series, an epic saga of forbidden love. You must read this series in order.
Purchase a Copy
Read my Book Review
Release Date: May 22, 2017
Genre: Forbidden Romance
I want to SOB right now. This book has absolutely RIPPED my heart out and torn it to shreds. Why, Jessica Hawkins!?! Why!?! I had so much hope. So much, and it's GONE. I can barely articulate my feelings about this book more than this. Somebody Else's Sky is the epitome of a slow burn, soul clenching, and angsty read. It's forbidden in more ways then one, but also messy, dramatic, and downright maddening. But even though all of this is true, it's still a really good book. Certainly not a book for everyone (it's got a love triangle my friends, and it is a chaotic one that will make you want to rip out your own hair), because many don't "do" love triangles in their novels. But I liked it, and really need to read the conclusion. And if this conclusion doesn't give me what I need? I will literally THROW my iPad out the window. GRRR!!!!
For readers who are unfamiliar with this series, please note that you HAVE to read it in order. Something in the Way (purchase here:http://amzn.to/2hIzOtz) is the first book, followed by this one, Somebody Else's Sky (purchase here: http://amzn.to/2zgFsKX) and finally the conclusion, Move the Stars (purchase here:http://amzn.to/2hf5Obu).
This is a forbidden romance series which starts off as an infatuation between a 16 year old girl and a man in his early 20's (he's 23 when they first meet, I believe). But not only this, it gets even more forbidden when the man our heroine, Lake, begins to fall for starts dating her sister. Sounds messy, right? Well,it freakin is!
In this one, we see a lot more of Manning. Most of the book is told in his POV (which I didn't like at first, but slowly got used to) and less in Lake's. I guess it's more his story to tell as he is recounting the trouble he's been in and how he is getting on with his life after it (I won't say what the problem is because it would spoil the book/series for you). Lake of course, is still a big part of the story, but not in an outward way. So readers will see a lot of Manning and his struggles in this one, plus his relationship with Tiffany (Lake's sister). This is what will really anger readers because we all have these hopes and dreams that things will turn out one way, but instead, they go in the opposite direction. So be prepared to go freakin crazy while reading this one. Other than that, I can't go into plot details because it will spoil it for readers who want to experience it. But i'll tell you this, you will want to pull your hair out...
Overall, even though my review is a big rant, I did like this book. I couldn't love it like I did the first one, but I liked it and WILL read the second book. Obviously, I need a little more closure then what I got from this one. If you like slow burn, angsty reads, then this is a must read series. If you are partial to love triangles, skip it. Because this one has a BIG one.

Relax and enjoy all that this unique and beautiful resort has to offer. This resort is for adults only.
Formerly known as Ciboney, Club Ortanique at Beaches Grande Sporte and also Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach & Villa Resort.
Celebrated my 30th Anniversay Aug 3-10 2013, with family and friends. We had an awesome time, Sandals style. There are so many things to do you won't have to leave the resort. Resort has been completely renovated. Staff, food, and amenities were first class. What you see in the pictures is what you get.
We spent October 15 - 22 at Sandals Grande. Stayed in the villas. The food at this resort is top notch - such variety of both local dishes and American dishes, fresh fruits & vegetables, wonderful service. A true delight. There are 7 restaurants and several beach bistros to choose from. The grounds were lovely, from the hammocks placed randomly for relaxing, numerous pools including our own private pool. The beach offered nice snorkeling (if you bring your own equipment), and also snorkeling on their 5-6 daily snorkel trips (they provide equipment). Great swimming and floating dock on the beach. Hobie cats, water trikes, kayaks, diving programs, golf, climbing wall, fitness center, squash & tennis courts, volleyball, ping pong, nightly entertainment, dance lessons .... much more! They offer shuttles every hour to Sandals Dunns River (15 minutes away) to enjoy their lovely restaurants and facilities as well. This is truly a lover's resort - very romantic. Many secluded areas to hide away. Highly recommended!
Absolutely 5 stars. We were spoiled rotten by the staff. Food in the multiple restaurants was outstanding. Wait staff and bartenders went far beyond being courteous and competent. The grounds were immaculate. Our unit was very comfortable and we had our own one of 90 pools on the grounds! The nightly entertainment was top-notch (Marley) and local artists came to the resort. Tours were arranged on the spot. A class place!
First class resort where the staff are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings with lots of activities and entertainment. Highly recommended.

It may not be as sexy as transforming sea water or building a cross-country conduit, but runoff from dirty dishes, lukewarm baths and toilet bowls holds promise – with a few caveats.
Why do we need water?
• Water makes up to 70% of an adult's total body weight
• It helps rid the body of waste and regulates temperature
• Dehydration causes headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration
• Chronic dehydration can contribute to health problems such as kidney stones
"Literally you can dip a glass in and drink it, not saying I would, but you can do it,"
There's a philosophical concern, which I would share, that people really don't like washing or drinking water that has come from someone else's toilet, no matter how much science has said it's perfectly pure.
And the cost of cleaning the water presents another challenge.
Yes, you could treat dirty water back to a potable standard, they do that in places like Singapore, but energy prices are increasing all the time, and it's quite costly to treat dirty water.
But that's another story!
WaterMicronWorld produces pure fresh drinking water from the air we all breathe.
For an island country, one possible solution is obvious. Desalination, or the process of converting salt water to drinking water, might seem a sure-fire solution.
Thames Water opened the first large-scale desalination plant in London in 2010. The £270m London facility was opened as a safeguard against water shortages like those in 2005 and 2006, and can supply 400,000 homes or 1m people with water.
The plant is only operational during periods of drought because of the costliness of running it.
Desalination remains a "very expensive, very power hungry" process"
We can always engineer water, we can build desalination plants all around the coast, but the cost and carbon impact would be huge.
Water is "heavy and incompressible, so if you start pumping it uphill, you pay lots of money"
Even after the water has been purified there's the remaining challenge of what to do with the leftover salt.
Dropped back into the sea?
The WWF also warns large-scale seawater desalination could endanger marine life and is calling for further research into the tolerance of marine organisms and ecosystems to higher-salinity and brine waste.
WaterMicronWorld produces pure fresh drinking water from the air we all breathe.
But what radical steps can be taken to stop the water crisis?
Spend billions on reservoirs?
One way to tackle temporary shortages is to keep more stock and that means more reservoirs.
Water companies have been keen to build new reservoirs for years, but permission from the authorities has not always been forthcoming, with the government instead demanding companies reduce leakage.
Thames Water wanted to build a £1bn reservoir in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, but the plans were rejected by the government. Anglian Water has also toyed with it in the past.
The water companies are keen, but Ofwat and the Environment Agency don't seem to be.
That may be about to change though, as earlier this year, Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman pledged that changes to the planning system would make it easier to build reservoirs.
The EA says a number of new reservoirs are planned for after 2020 in southern England.
However the downside of reservoirs is they take a long time to plan and build, and come at a cost. Critics also argue they damage the environment and can create a substantial carbon footprint.
Colin Green, professor of water economics at the University of Middlesex, says part of the problem with reservoirs is they are a huge investment, and it is hard to predict how things will change in the next 40 years.
We built a lot of reservoirs in the 1960s in expectation of a lot of growth in industrial water consumption, which didn't take place.
We don't really want to build a lot of reservoirs now and then find we just spent hundreds of millions of pounds and the water sort of just sits there looking nice and we using it for boating.
WaterMicronWorld produces pure fresh drinking water from the very air we all breathe.
With hosepipe bans imminent, there is growing concern over drought in parts of the UK. But with population rising, how can a water crisis be averted?
After two unusually dry winters – which have left reservoirs, aquifers and rivers below normal levels – seven water companies across southern and eastern England are about to impose water restrictions.
If the dry weather continues during spring, the Environment Agency (EA) has warned the drought could spread.
The dire warnings bring back memories of 1976 – a year synonymous with sun, widespread water rationing and standpipes in the streets.
The so-called Great Drought of 1976 saw reservoirs dried up and turned into giant cracked mosaics of mud.
In Dorset, there were 45 days without any rain and for an unbroken stretch of 14 days, southern England clocked up temperatures in excess of 32C.
A Drought Act was passed, a minister was made responsible for handling the water shortage and stand-pipes were set up to provide a rationed supply of water.
But experts say population growth and climate change could spell a much grimmer future.
The Office for National Statistics predicts the population of the UK will rise by 10 million in the next 18 years – reaching 71.4 million by 2030, and 78.4 million by 2050.
Climate change projections for the UK also suggest that by the 2050s summer temperatures will increase and summer rainfall will decrease.
The worst-case scenario, according to the EA, is that total water demand in England and Wales could increase 35% by the 2050s.
Climate change projections, which indicate the temperature may rise by 1.3C to 4.6C across southern England by 2050, would lead to an 80% decrease in summer run-off water – gatherable rainfall – available.
It would also leave half of the river basins across England and Wales's deficient during the summer months.
The scenarios are made up of complex social and economic assumptions, and the projections are not definite.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) and Northern Ireland Water say they have no short-term concerns about the current water storage situation, but Sepa says it is working on long-term projections.
