A new boy shows up at school. As he walks through the classroom door, the teacher welcomes him by saying, "Tell us your name."
The boy, who has just moved to America from the Philippines, announces his name as Banoy Pamatmat. Whereupon the teacher asks, "Could you repeat that?"
Welcome to an increasingly common scenario in today's schools.
As more immigrants relocate to America, educators encounter a wider array of new names and faces. And many of those names are challenging to pronounce.
What's In a Name? A Lot
It turns out that the significance of a name goes way beyond just its pronunciation. Social science suggests that one's name may impact future career and life success after school.
For instance, a 2011 study by New York University linked easy-to-pronounce names with a higher number of friendships at school, a greater chance of being hired by employers--even higher earnings at work.
Conversely, the more difficult the name's pronunciation and/or length, the greater its owner's chances of academic difficulty--possibly even criminal behavior down the line. While some might view these scenarios as stereotypical overgeneralizations, they still represent real trends.
Of course, there are many persons whose successes came despite their unusual names.
Think of President Barack Hussein Obama, who once quipped: "I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think that I'd run for President."
Similar comments might easily come from other public figures. Think of Oscar-winning actress Gabourey Sidibe, whose name and persona also reflect a proud African heritage.
Or Jad Abumrad, Lebanese-American radio personality and co-host of the wildly popular Radiolab on NPR.
The fact is, success can happen to anyone, regardless of name or ethnicity. Still, it's likely that a public figure with an unusual name has had to challenge a lot of assumptions. And they probably had to pronounce their names a lot, too.
My Name, My Identity
Each person's name is more than a collection of letters and phonemes. Names symbolize one's entire identity.
According to the National Association of Bilingual Education (NABE), a simple mispronunciation can lead to student anxiety, insecurity in the classroom, and--in some cases--hindered academic growth.
These concerns aren't difficult to imagine. After all, no one enjoys hearing his or her name mispronounced. At best, such an error is a minor irritant. At worst, it's a sign of disrespect.
On the flip side, hearing one's name pronounced correctly can inspire feelings of self worth and confidence. When teachers and classmates say a name exactly as a given student would say it, the entire class benefits--socially and academically.
These benefits underlie the My Name, My Identity campaign co-sponsored by NABE, McGraw-Hill, and other educational partners. The campaign's goal is to build a positive culture at school by promoting respect to students, their families, and their cultures.
With this goal in mind, teachers, schools, parents, and other like-minded individuals pledge to pronounce each student's name correctly and celebrate diversity by building respect and caring.
We encourage our readers to make a pledge by clicking the link shown above.
Strategies for Success
Once educators pledge to pronounce students' names correctly, what's next?
Sometimes it's all a teacher can manage just to take a bathroom break during the day--never mind have time to pore over a class list or worry about a pronunciation gaffe. We all live in the real world here.
First of all, no one expects every educator to be a seasoned linguist.
However, the following strategies can help ensure success when encountering new students and unusual names in the classroom:
- Home visits - True, not every teacher has time or energy for home visits. But if time allows, such visits can fill in the gaps, cementing not just name pronunciations but also student/teacher/parent relationships.
- Teacher collaboration - Welcoming a new group of third-graders to your class? Make sure to ask your students' former second-grade teacher for assistance on tricky names.
- Good timing - Whenever possible, inquire about new students' names one-on-one; asking children to announce their names in front of the entire class can be intimidating.
- Sincere interest - Students can sense a teacher's genuine interest. Even asking "what does your name mean?" can show curiosity and interest. So can complimenting the unique sound of the name or its cultural background. Always ask if a child prefers a shortened version of his/her name; don't create a nickname just to make it easier on yourself!
- Role models - Ask children whom they most admire (and why). Find opportunities to introduce a wide array of cultural role models in class (perhaps those with similar names or backgrounds to the students themselves).
- Anti-bullying - Even if your school has an anti-bullying strategy, establish additional policies within class. These policies can include teaching all children how to say classmates' names correctly, even rewarding them for doing so.
- Following up - Without bringing undue attention to shy students, find ways to reinforce respect for each student's culture by planning activities or teaching units about the meaning of names around the world. Willing students may wish to tell the story behind their names.
Imagine Learning believes every student deserves the chance to truly be him or herself. Every time teachers pronounce a student's name correctly, they help students feel confident in their identities, making school a better experience for all.

It was produced by the band & Scrap 60 & includes the singles "What Doesn''t Die" "Safe Home" & "Takin'' the Music Back." It is considered a comeback album for the band after lackluster commercial success of their previous 2 records. Despite this, the album only reached #122 on the Billboard 200 charts. It is also the first Anthrax record featuring Rob Caggiano on lead guitar & the last to feature original material with John Bush on vocals. "Strap It On" & "Cadillac Rock Box" both feature guitar solos by "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. A hidden track is also featured on the album - one minute after the last song ends, one can hear a percussion outtake which was not used because Charlie Benante was unaware he was humming.The album''s cover art was painted by famed comic book artist Alex Ross.The single "Safe Home" features a ballad-like chorus and strong melody. Its music video features film actor Keanu Reeves. The video aired heavily on Uranium upon its release. In contrast, "What Doesn''t Die" features a much darker musical tone & lyrics with a notably heavier style.The album pulses to life with the tribal beat and crackling guitar of a metallic giant waking from a deep slumber. Following the briefest of pauses, the album explodes to life with "What Doesn''t Die." It comes at you fast and hard, as one of the best rhythm sections in metal lays down its famous chug. The addition of guitarist / producer Rob Caggiano gives new blood to an already well-oiled machine. A power ballad ("Safe Home") and a Southern rock stomp ("Cadillac Rock Box") provide contrast to the thrash attack of "Nobody Knows Anything" and the title track. Anthrax can even make an acoustic guitar sound crunchy ("Refuse To Be Denied"). Headbangers, put away your gas mask, but keep your neck brace handy.Partially recorded at Red Clay Studios, Suffern, New York.Anthrax: Scott Ian (vocals, guitar); John Bush (vocals); Charlie Benante (acoustic & electric guitars, drums, percussion); Rob Caggiano (guitar); Frank Bello (bass, background vocals).Additional personnel: Roger Daltrey (vocals); Dimebag Darrell (guitar).Track Listing:1.

RSG Broklede is a regional secondary school for pupils from Breukelen and surroundings. The picturesque town of around 14000 inhabitants is situated on the river Vecht, between Amsterdam (35 km) and Utrecht (20 km). The school was founded in 1970 as a state school and was governed by the town council from 1990. Since 2010 the school is under governance of a board, together with the Rientjes Mavo in Maarssen which offers junior secondary education (four years, vmbo-tl).
A modern building houses the school, a small theatre, the local library, a branch of the music school and a day-care centre. Our school has around 1400 pupils and though many are from Breukelen we are a regional school drawing pupils from many neighbouring towns and villages. The school is run by a headmaster and two deputy heads, who supervise team leaders, about 95 teachers and 25 non-teaching staff members.
The school has always had a sound academic tradition, preparing students for university (six years in the vwo section) or senior general secondary education (five years in the havo section). In the first three years pupils follow a core curriculum, that used to be characterised by a philosophy of mixed ability teaching. Since 1994, when the government reorganised the first stage of secondary education, the pupils have been grouped according to ability in three streams or levels: havo, havo/vwo, vwo. It remains possible for pupils to switch streams. After the first three years the pupils enter the higher level where havo and vwo students choose from four profiles: Culture and Society, Economy and Society, Nature and Technology, and Nature and Health.
In 2003 the school started a bilingual stream (tvwo). In this bilingual stream bright vwo pupils have more than half of their classes in English and follow a more demanding programme. In the 5th and 6th form of tvwo the pupils are enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme for English A2, which will enable them to get an IB certificate for English A2.
In 2017 the school also started a bilingual stream in havo (thavo).
In the region the school is known for its high level of education, its attention for individual pupils, its counselling, and its outstanding results in the creative departments. Apart from these activities there are many fields in which pupils can be active: drama, sports, poetry, music; they all have their place in the school's extra-curricular activities.
Pupils are admitted to the first form at the age of 12 after leaving primary school. Usually they are placed in accordance with the advice of the primary school teacher and principal, though sometimes additional testing is required. Pupils who want to do tvwo all have to do a test. At a later stage pupils from vmbo-tl schools may continue their education at our school in the fourth form.
The governing of the school is discussed and to some extent controlled by a committee of students, parents, teachers and non-teaching staff members.
In a five-day week pupils attend about 32 lessons of fifty minutes. The subjects taught are:
Dutch, English, French, German, Geography, History, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science, Economics, Social Studies, Global Studies, Music, Arts, Technology, Physical Education, Projects and Information and Communication Technology.

Caregiver's Bill of Rights
I have the right:
To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capability of taking better care of my relative.
To seek help from others even though my relative may object. I recognize the limits of my own endurance and strength.
To maintain facets of my own life that do not include the person I care for, just as I would if s/he were healthy.
To get angry, be depressed, and to express other difficult feelings occasionally.
To reject any attempt by my relative to manipulate me through guilt, anger, or depression.
To receive consideration, affection, forgiveness, and acceptance for what I do for my loved for as long as I offer these qualities in return.
To take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it has sometimes taken to meet the needs of my relative.
To protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me in the time when my relative no longer needs my full-time help.
To expect and demand that as new strides are made in finding resources to aid physically and mentally impaired older persons in our country, similar strides will be made toward aiding and supporting caregivers.

|[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-4885) Try to restore failed replicas of Name Node storage (at checkpoint time)
|Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:20:39 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4885?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13229819#comment-13229819 ] Brandon Li commented on HADOOP-4885: ------------------------------------ The format-addStorageDir solution make the failed directory "active" immediately even it's not a real active state. The state is visible from the nn UI and JMX. If the checkpoint fails, the fake "Active" state can be misleading. The copy-over solution may do some extra work but it sets the recovered storage directories in the real active state. I agree those 3 JIRA issues you mentioned should be back ported too to branch 1.02 (the backport patch here is for branch-1 not 1.02). It's a good point about the network mount problem. :-) It's also a problem with original patch: the "format-addStorageDir" creates the storage directory if it doesn't exist. However, if this storage directory is a mount point, it shouldn't be created automatically. HDFS-3095 is filed for this issue. > Try to restore failed replicas of Name Node storage (at checkpoint time) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4885 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4885 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Boris Shkolnik > Assignee: Boris Shkolnik > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-4885-1.patch, HADOOP-4885-3.patch, HADOOP-4885-3.patch, HADOOP-4885.branch-1.patch, HADOOP-4885.branch-1.patch.2, HADOOP-4885.branch-1.patch.3, HADOOP-4885.patch, HADOOP-4885.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

FitRiders: Hannah Pierucci
Hannah Pierucci, an emerging dressage rider based in Texas, took a quick break from her winter training with Kathy Connelly in Florida to chat with Stable & Spice about eating healthy as a working student and how she stays fit enough for her working student schedule and confirming her current horse at Grand Prix!
Hannah has been riding her whole life and starting showing around the age of 4. By middle school, she was competing at third and fourth level. While in high school, Hannah finished her USDF bronze and silver medals while working as the head rider for JCAndalusians and as the rehabilitation rider for USET vet Tim Ober.
She recently graduated from Virginia Tech and moved down to Texas where she completed her gold medal in 2015. She is currently in Florida as a working student for Kathy Connelly. Kathy has been a long time family friend and mentor, currently working with Hannah to confirm her current ride (Andalusian stallion Espiritu) at Grand Prix. Hannah is working towards building her own training business and, eventually, competing internationally.
How do you find time to prepare healthy food when on the road at shows? Is it a priority?
The day before a show starts I usually head to the grocery store and quickly pick up small snacks because I don't usually have time to put together full meals while I am at a show. Eating well while on the road is a priority because it helps keep me going during the exhausting days of a horse show. Granola bars, water, fruit, and almonds are a few things I like to be stocked with at horse shows because they are quick and easy to grab and go with throughout the day.
How do you fuel on horse show days? (snacks/drinks/etc)
It would depend on the time of year. During the summer when it is warm I prefer to eat lighter foods like fruits and vegetables. I love eating apples, oranges, cherry tomatoes, bananas, and carrots because they are light and refreshing snacks. If it is colder I might eat something with a little more substance to it like a granola bar. What really fuels me during the morning of horse show is coffee. I know it may not be as healthy or hydrating as most beverages, but it does help wake me up! Water is always my most important purchase no matter what time of year is. I prefer drinking Smart Water because it already contains electrolytes, which helps me hydrate more quickly (and tastes better!).
What does a typical day look like? (general time break down wake up to bed)
My work days in Florida and in Texas are very different from each other.
Florida: I usually wake up at 6:30 and get to the barn by 7:00 to feed, pick Stu's stall, and then bring him on a walk. By 8:30 I start setting up the arena for Kathy's lessons and help her get started at 9:15. My schedule for the rest of the day depends on whatever her lesson schedule is. I usually teach a few lessons or have a lesson of my own on Stu with Kathy. Whenever I have some free time, I try to sit and listen to Kathy teach. Around 2:30, I start evening chores. I pick Stu's stall and feed him dinner then bring him on another hand walk. Kathy usually finishes her last lesson around 4:00, at which point I pick things up around the arena and clean up the barn. I usually leave the barn around 5:00, but it depends on the day. I come back to the barn anytime after 7:00 to do night check and then my day starts all over again.
Texas: My schedule at home in Texas is much different. I usually wake up at 6:45 and leave for the barn around 7:15 to get there by 8:00 (it is a bit of a hike!). Once at the barn, I have 7 or 8 horses to tack up and ride. Three days a week, I ride at two other barns in addition to my main barn. On these days, I finish the horses I have in training at our barn and clean tack to head to my next barn at 3:00 where I ride a 2-3 young horses for a client. Then I finish riding, I head to my last barn where I teach one of my students.
Is exercise/working out a priority for you? Why?
Yes it is! Although I believe riding is exercise in itself, the only way to get stronger than you already are from your normal everyday riding routine is
to workout at home. The more physically fit we are, the more endurance we have. Instead of being drained after your first ride of the day, you are able to go through a full day of riding without straining your body. Exercise also increases the strength of your core and seat, which makes you a more capable and effective rider.
How do you fit in time to exercise when working with horses is exhausting (being on your feet all day)?
Because riding and barn chores are inherently physically demanding, I find it is better for me to make stretching more of a priority when I get home from an especially busy day at the barn rather than doing additional exercises. My body is already sore and tired, so I find stretching loosens me up so I am not as tight the next day.
What kind of workouts/exercises do you find improves your riding?
I find exercises that increase the strength of my abdominal and quadriceps muscles have the greatest impact on my effectiveness as a rider, so I like to incorporate different exercises that isolate these muscle groups. My go-to exercises include: crunches, wall sits, lunges, running, and planks.
What is your go-to meal when you're tired and can't think of what to eat?
Boneless skinless chicken thighs, quinoa, and a salad with a balsamic vinegar & oil dressing. This is basically what I lived off of in college (except it was brown rice instead of quinoa). It is super cheap and easy to make!
What exercise do you hate to do, but know you need to/helps you?
Planks! I absolutely hate exercise's that are static. I much prefer cardio because you keep moving, but I know planks are great for working the abdominal, shoulder and lower back muscles which strengthen my position.
Describe one (or more) common physical challenges riders experience and how treating themselves more like a professional athlete would help.
A common challenge that I have found many riders deal with is tension in the upper thigh and knee, which impedes the effectiveness of their seat and leg, aids. I do believe some riders are more prone to this type of tension due to their own fear or lack of confidence in their horse. I also feel such tension can be caused from improper care of our own bodies before we get on a horse. We have to remember that we are just as much of an athlete as anyone else competing in a sport and with that, we should take care of our bodies the same way. Every professional athlete stretches before they exercise to prevent injury and decrease the time it takes to warm-up their body. I believe this is a big part of riding that is overlooked.
The way we sit on a horse makes our bodies more prone to tension on the back part of our thigh (the hamstrings) and our calves. If we are tight in our hamstrings and calves then our legs are not relaxed and our ability to sit deep into the seat of the saddle and stretch down into the stirrup with a long soft leg is inhibited. If our leg and seat aid is hindered, then we cannot effectively ask a horse to be in front of the leg, relaxed in their back, or go into the bridle with a soft connection. I think that stretching is a key element in fixing this obstacle that many riders (myself included) deal with.
Here are a few very simple stretching exercises that I use myself:
Stand with you feet at hips-width, raise you hands above your head, and gradually bend at the hips while keeping your legs straight at the knee. Once your hands are pointed at the ground, then relax and hold the position for about 30 seconds before slowly standing back up.
Sit on the ground with your feet stretched out in front of you, then lean forward with your arms stretched forward and try to get as close to your toes as possible. Hold this for about 30 seconds before sitting back up. (For me, this one is the most difficult!!)
Find some sort of ledge or step (possibly one from your mounting block). Stand up with the ball of your foot on the step and your heel hanging off. Allow your weight to stretch down in your heel until you feel your calf stretching down. From personal experience, I would suggest holding onto something for this one if your balance is not the best!
There are many other ways to warm-up your body before getting on. Yoga and Pilates are just some of the classes I have known to help people because they involve a lot of stretching. I am not a personal trainer by any means (or even close to one), but I have found that these exercises have been very helpful when done before getting to the barn everyday.
Thank you, Hannah, for taking the time to chat with us! If you are interested in working with Hannah, she is returning to Texas in April and will be training out of Creek Colony Farm in Richmond, TX. Please contact Hannah at 561-628-9068 for more information about training, lessons, etc.

Hospitals in Boulder and Fort Collins, Co., have seen drastic increases since 2001 in underage patients with problems related to alcohol, reports the Denver Post. In Boulder, where a University of Colorado fraternity pledge died lat week after a night of heavy drinking, alcohol-related admissions at the community hospital have nearly tripled from 51 in 2001 to 148 last year. In Fort Collins, where a Colorado State University sophomore died from alcohol poisoning Sept. 5, the numbers jumped from 86 in 2001 to 151 last year. In both towns, arrests and citations related to underage drinking are troublingly high. In Fort Collins, 532 minors were charged with alcohol possession in 2003; Boulder police wrote 1,244 tickets to minors in possession of alcohol last year.
Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner said his department has ticketed hundreds of students since school started in August. "Obviously, writing 600 summonses over a three-weekend period did not prevent this death," he said. "It did not prevent this tragedy from happening. So there's got to be other approaches we can take." Beckner and Colorado University police chief Jim Fadenrecht wonder if the 1987 Colorado law setting the legal drinking age at 21 should be reconsidered. The "prohibitionist approach" to under-21 drinkers is failing, said Fadenrecht. "I think we've got to understand what our reality is and spend more time talking about responsible drinking," he said. "I think that conversation has to occur irrespective of age."

Great Design is Good Business
Many organizations see design as mere window dressing, but great design is much more then that. Great design drives results and increases positive returns on your investment.
The biggest mistake that most organizations make is to let their personal opinions determine design choices instead of using their customers' perspective. This approach typically results in the highest ranking manager imposing their personal design sensibilities on a project with little consideration for the effect it may have for the customer or company. They might think they are considering the perspective of their customers, but they simply don't have the experience that a designer does. Designers are trained to balance the needs of the customer with the company's goals.
The correct approach is to consider every design decision from the perspective of your customers, not your personal taste. Ask potential customers what they think, or use analytics and KPIs to determine problem areas in your business. Then bring in a designer to help you interpret the customers' feedback and data, determine why those problems may exist, and create concrete solutions to solve those issues. A good designer will take time to understand your business so they can leverage design to increase your bottom line.
"A good designer will take time to understand your business, so they can leverage design to improve your bottom line."
No two businesses are exactly alike, but many have similar opportunities to improve their business with great design. Here are some of the most common opportunities I encounter.
Cohesive Branding
Brand equity is built on consistency. At bare minimum you should be using the same visual language (logo, typography, colors, photo treatments) across all touchpoints. Often times, this is easier said than done — especially if you have multiple divisions or designers creating assets. Creating a style guide and an asset management system will keep your brand consistent as your company grows.
Progressive Branding
On average, it takes seven or more touchpoints for a lead to convert to a paying customer. Too often, companies try to communicate all of their information at once — it's overwhelming and often scares away potential clients. All of the touchpoints along your customer's journey should be different. As a customer progresses through your sales funnel, they should learn a little more about who you are and how you can help them.
Internal Processes
Use design to work smarter, not harder. While at Noble International, we doubled our revenue by simply changing our design process. Another area of opportunity for many organizations is creating well-designed document templates to increase efficiencies in internal and client communications. It may seem odd at first to have a designer review business processes, but it's a quick exercise that can provide big returns.
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
Each page on a website should have one main action that you'd like visitors to take, whether that's making a purchase, contacting you, or sharing an article with their social network. Content and messaging are king, but using conversion-centered design principles will be the difference between a poorly performing site and a high converting one.
Customer Experience (CX)
The biggest reason customers trust websites is the site's visual design. Most customers will quickly bounce if they don't trust your design. You're likely asking visitors to trust you with their information (email address, credit card info, etc.). A high quality visual design will instill trust with your user that you're a legitimate company that will not be spamming them or sharing your information with others.
Proposals and Stationary
Succinctly communicating key information is half the battle in creating a great presentation or proposal. As the Director of Design at a Noble International, I was a key member of creating multi-million dollar design and manufacturing proposals. Most of our competitors compiled 40–50 pages of bland text, so we used beautiful formatting and simple charts. That strategy won us a lot of contracts, even though we weren't always the most qualified.
By looking out for opportunities like these, your company can get great business results courtesy of great design. That's much more than mere window dressing — that's design that impacts the bottom line.

Weekend rainy day baking is always the best! Some of my favourite recipes have been created on a rainy day and the same can be said for this new recipe that I'm sharing today.
I've always wanted to experiment with polenta in baking, but never really plucked up the courage. Using different grains as a substitute for flour can be tricky to get right. Some require more liquid as they soak up a lot and others need more raising agent as they result in a heavier bake. I really wish that I had used polenta in my baking before now because it's so easy to work with.
Cooking and baking with different ingredients, particularly those specific to different dietary requirements is one of my passions. Not only does it challenge my cooking abilities, but hopefully demonstrates that even those restricted by what they can eat can still enjoy healthy and delicious food as part of a balanced lifestyle. Nobody should feel left out as far as I'm concerned. This Blueberry and Almond Polenta Cake is no exception – it's gluten-free, refined sugar-free and is so delicious!
- 1 cup polenta
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut flower nectar or honey
- 1 tsp baking powder (use gluten free)
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line and prepare a baking tin.
In a stand or hand-mixer beat the coconut oil and coconut flower nectar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one by one and add the almond extract. Next on a low-speed pour in the ground almonds, polenta and baking powder - mix in until well combined. With a spatula or spoon stir in the blueberries being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the baking tin and cook for 20-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Allow to cool before serving - enjoy!
Remember to use gluten-free baking powder if making this for your gluten intolerant friends or family. To make this vegan you could perhaps use flax eggs, but I haven't tried this myself so not entirely sure on the end result.
Adapted from
Clafoutis springs to mind with this cake, but with a frangipane twist because of the almonds. The blueberries add a lovely burst of sweetness as you eat the cake which I think really works with the ground almonds. I was really surprised by how stable the polenta was to bake with, it creates such a hearty cake that is quite light with a crumbly texture.
You can easily play around with how much coconut flower nectar or honey you add. With the quantity that I added the cake doesn't become overly sweet, but it really does depend on how much of a sweet tooth you have. This is great served with some full-fat natural yoghurt or even vanilla custard if you're looking to treat yourself. Either way, it's definitely one for the whole family and will be loved by all. Happy baking!
Have you baked with polenta before? What did you make? What's your favourite thing to bake on a rainy day?

We are changing things up a bit in the coming new year starting with a brand new referral program! It's our way of thanking our awesome clients for their recommendations as well as a way to thank new clients for giving us a chance!
So how does it work?
It's easy! Refer us to your friends and family. Be sure that they tell us that you sent them when they book their session. As soon as they have their session, you get a Visa gift card!
How much do you get?
If they book a mini session with us, you get a $25 Visa gift card. If they book a full session with us, you get a $50 Visa gift card. If they book a birth session, you get a $75 Visa gift card. If they book a newborn session or cake smash session, you get a $25 Visa gift card.
What about my friend?
Don't worry, your friend won't be left out! They will receive a professionally printed gift print as a thank you for giving us a chance!
But wait, there's more.
We saved the best for last. There is no limit to how much you can earn! Whether you refer 1 person or 100, you will receive a gift card as a token of our appreciation!
But surely there's fine print...
Our gift card rewards program is only valid on normal, full priced sessions. Specially priced, stylized sessions (Christmas mini sessions for example) and discounted or sale sessions are not part of our referral program.
Newborn Session Prep Guide
The first few moments of life are so magical and so fleeting. They will go by faster than you could ever imagine. I feel truly blessed to be able to capture those moments for you so that you can hold onto them forever.
Book Your Session
I recommend booking your newborn session before baby is born. This gives me time to plan a fully customized session for your baby. I only book a limited number of newborns per month, so the sooner you book, the better!
Baby's Big Arrival
I know you are just as excited as I am about capturing all those tiny little details of your newborn baby. Within the first couple of days after birth, when you have a second to catch your breath, shoot me a text, email, or even call and let me know baby has arrived. I can then schedule an official date and time for you and baby to come to the studio.
When scheduling your session, the earlier, the better. Newborn sessions normally take place during the first 21 days of life. We do NOT turn away older babies! However, younger newborns, typically between 5-7 days, tend to do best as they are still super sleepy and don't fuss quite as much from all the posing and positioning.
If you have an older newborn, don't stress! Not only am I photographer, but I'm a mom! My experience in both area has taught me tips and tricks for soothing even the feistiest little princes and princesses. Extra baby snuggles are key!
Location & What To Bring
Newborn sessions take place in my studio. I have everything needed, so don't stress about props or outfits for baby!
Please bring a pacifier with you even if you do not plan to use it every day. They can be a lifesaver during these sessions. Don't worry, I won't force it on your baby and I won't use it unless I really need to.
Bring some extra diapers with you. You never know how many you'll need!
If baby is formula fed, be sure to bring enough with you for multiple feedings. If you are breastfeeding but baby will drink pumped milk from a bottle, please bring some with you.
It's Going To Get Hot
In order to keep baby comfortable, we need to crank up the heat. The studio is going to be 80 degrees and we will also have a space heater that will be in the shooting area. Dress cool! If you are going to be in pictures with your baby, you can dress in layers or feel free to bring a change of clothes with you.
It Could Take A While
Newborn sessions last from 2-4 hours. It could be shorter, it could be longer, it all depends on baby. Feel free to bring a book or magazine with you. Some parents even use this time to catch up on sleep with a cat nap!
Due to the length of these sessions, we ask that you do not bring anyone with you, especially children, that is not being photographed. Little ones tend to get very restless and very hot which can be disruptive to the calm, peaceful environment that we try to maintain for baby.
If siblings are being photographed, we will shoot these portraits FIRST. Please make sure everyone is dressed and ready to go. Once we have taken the family and siblings shots, it's best if dad takes the other kiddos out for a snack or to play at the park.
Sleepy Babies
Babies do best with studio posing if they are in a deep sleep. The best way to accomplish this is to make sure baby is exhausted. Keep baby awake for 1-2 hours prior to our session together. I know this is easier said than done, but there are some things you can do!
Play with baby. Tickle her little toes and sing songs. Music and toys can be stimulating and fascinating. Give baby a bath. There will likely be tears as most newborns are not fans of bath time, but it will help to stimulate baby.
We know it can be hard to do this, especially when you are a sleep deprived new parent, but if baby sleeps soundly before our session, chances are she won't sleep quite as soundly during the session.
Hungry Babies
Feed your baby 2 hours before our session. Once you arrive at the studio, I have a comfy sitting area where you can give baby a full feeding. Exhausted babies with full tummies are great sleepers! If we can accomplish this, our session should go smoothly!
Nursing Moms
If you are a nursing mom, there are some ways you can help to make sure baby is comfortable and a good sleeper for our time together. Be sure to avoid spicy foods or eating/drinking acid citrus juices and fruits. They can upset the baby's little tummy and they could end up with uncomfortable gas bubbles. Also try to avoid caffeine for 24 hours prior. I know this is hard, especially for sleep deprived mama's, but it will be worth it for those adorable little baby shots we are working so hard for.
Keep It Loose
Dress baby in loose, comfortable clothing to help prevent red marks and indents on the skin. Button up or zip up pajamas are a great option! Just please nothing that goes over baby's head. If s/he is sleeping, we want to try to keep it that way!
Circumcision – The Five Day Rule
If your new little one is a baby boy, please schedule your newborn session before he is circumcised or five days after the procedure. Baby will be very sensitive and some of the poses may be uncomfortable during the healing process. We want to make sure baby is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!
What To Wear
Neutral colors are best for everyone, including children. White, black, and beige are great options. Be sure to avoid anything super bright, clothing with logos, and clothing with busy patterns. As we mentioned before, dress in layers. It's going to get hot!
Check Your Manicure
There are some shots we may take that will involve mom and dad's hands. Even though it is only your hands, we still want you to look your best! Be sure that your hands are clean and nails are trimmed.
Don't Forget To Take Care Of YOU
With the excitement of having a brand new baby and the exhaustion that comes along with it, it's easy to forget to take care of you. Be sure to eat a healthy, hearty breakfast (or lunch) before our session. This will help you stay comfortable during our session. Also be sure to stay hydrated! Don't forget, the studio is going to be around 85 degrees.
Everyone Poops
Poop. It happens! Not to worry! Part of the job description of a newborn photographer is that you will get peed on or pooped on, so if it happens don't stress or be embarrassed! As a professional photographer and a mom of three, it's something I am quite used to. Don't stress about sanitation. All of my newborn items are washed and sanitized before and after every baby that comes into the studio.
Safety First
Safety is my utmost priority during these sessions. Baby will never be placed into an unsafe or compromising pose or position. During the session I will be handling and posing baby and may even call on you to spot baby if needed. I have lots of baby holding experience and I will care for your little one as if s/he were my own. And you are always welcome to ask questions!
Patience is key! Newborn session can last anywhere from 2-4 hours. It all depends on baby's mood and willingness to cooperate. If your baby is fussy, don't stress! It happens. Baby can pick up frustration so we want to keep the room as serene as possible. If sleep doesn't happen, don't worry! We will make it work!
I hope that this session prep guide has helped answer any questions on how to prepare for your session. My goal is not only to provide you with beautiful pictures to cherish in the years to come, but to serve you with a pleasant and memorable experience. If there is anything I can do for you or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me and let me know. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture these sweet newborn moments for your family!
This photo is so special and so powerful for so many reasons.
If you are local to us, you might have heard the story of little Sawyer Gordon who was recently hit by a truck while riding his bike and passed away. We happen to go to church with Sawyer's family. We also go to church with the young man that was driving the truck. This family has shown such strength, love, faith, and devotion through the wake of this tragedy. To call it awe inspiring is an understatement.
They could have been angry. So many people would have been. They could have gone to that deep, dark place that calls to so many after losing a child, especially one as young as Sawyer. But they didn't. their testament of faith is like nothing we have ever seen before. The Gordon's have embraced this young man with unconditional love and understanding. He too could have gone to a very dark place, but this tremendous family has made sure that that did not happen. They have put all of their faith in God's plan. It is truly amazing.
This past Sunday, the young man who was driving the truck was baptized. This photo was taken immediately after. The Gordon's were standing just off to the side patiently waiting for him to arise out of the water as a new and Godly man. Their faces were filled with pure love and so much pride for the steps that this young man has taken despite the terrible circumstances that have brought them together.
Light, love, hope, and faith. This is what it's all about.
If you would like to reach out to the Gordon family to find out more about how they have such peace, love, and understanding, please reach out to them at email@example.com
When I saw Shannon and James on Sunday, Shannon had that gorgeous expecting mama glow. She told me that she had had a few sporadic contractions during church, but nothing to indicate the beginning of true labor. None of us had any idea that in less than 24 hours from then baby Kinley would be here.
At 1:15am I received the first few text messages that the time was near! Labor was starting. While the contractions weren't active yet, the process had definitely started. At 5:30am, I got the phone call that the midwives were there and Ms. Kinley was getting ready to make her big debut. I got to the Keller house at 7am and witnessed the most beautiful and peaceful birth I have ever been a part of.
Shannon had been up all night with her husband by her side every step of the way. Despite the labor pains, Shannon was in high spirits and was the absolute sweetest laboring mom, ever. This birth was so special and so exciting. Not only were they welcoming a beautiful baby into the world, but this was finally a birth on their terms. This was not just a home birth. This was a home birth, in the water, after a cesarean and a very difficult induction.
From going back and fourth to the tub and the bed, and even walking around, Shannon did everything she could to keep her labor progressing. Around 10am, Shannon's contractions started to slow down. While still intense, they went from every 2-3 minutes to every 5-7 minutes. While Shannon wished for her labor to go faster, this little break was exactly what she needed as she was able to take little cat naps in-between contractions.
By 11am, things were picking back up. The midwives were helping her to get into different positions to help keep labor progressing. The water in the tub was topped off and warmed up. Shannon got back in the water and then suddenly it was a whirlwind. She had wished for fast, and God had heard her request.
The midwives and I left the room to give Shannon a little space while her husband held her hand and talked her through every contraction. Then all of a sudden we hear, "HELP! HELP! I need help!" The midwives run in and I followed behind them. It was 11:58am and her water had just broken. The midwife told her to keep breathing and that the next contraction might be a little intense. Indeed it was. At 12:00pm Shannon yelled for James during a contraction and he jumped in the birthing tub with her where he was able to see Kinley's full head of hair. One more contraction and two minutes later, Kinley Hope Keller took her first breath at 12:02pm weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces and 19 ¾ inches long.
The delivery happened so first that I'm not entirely sure Shannon realized what happened. As she held her brand new baby, Shannon had a look of shock, awe, happiness and disbelief. "I wanted it fast and that was so fast!" I don't think you could ask for faster than a four minute delivery!
The room was filled with happy tears and love. You could feel it throughout the room and it was amazing. Kinley was so calm and so sweet. And so hungry! She latched right on and made breastfeeding look way too easy! She even managed to poop on her mom (twice) and eat a second time all before she was an hour old!
This was such an amazing birth and I am so thankful to Shannon and James for choosing me to be a part of such a special day!
I've had quite a few people come to me and ask me about starting a legal photography business in Florida, so I thought I would write a blog for everyone. If you are a hobbyist, then you do not need to register or license yourself; however, if you charge anyone any amount of money, even a penny, you need to make yourself legal.
Why is it so important for you business to be legal? Well, several reasons. First and foremost, running a legitimate operation is a means of validation in the eye of the consumer. It is also a means of protection. A quick google search of current lawsuits against photographers and I am sure you will see the need for protection. So let's go a little further into that.
You need to register a DBA. DBA = Doing Business As. There are a few states that do not require you to register a DBA. Alabama, for example. Florida is NOT one of those states. It is absolutely required. So how exactly does a DBA protect you?
1) Enforcing Contracts...
If you don't obtain a DBA, you can't enforce any contract that you sign under your unregistered business name. For example, if you order office furniture and computers from a supplier who takes your money and doesn't deliver the goods, you can't sue to get your money back, at least not until the time you register your DBA. And at that point, you risk receiving a hefty fine from the court for not registering before beginning operation of your business.
We all know how important contracts are. If a client sues you, your contract is your bullet proof vest. If you do not have a registered DBA, you might as well be shirtless with a big red target on your chest. You will have no protection from a lawsuit and regardless of the situation, you will lose. Why? Because the court will consider first and foremost the fact that you are not running a legitimate enterprise and look no further.
2) Shut Down of Business
You read it right. The state can step in and shut you down on the spot, no questions asked. That is about the nicest thing they can do. You can be charged hefty fines. Failure to pay can result in jail time. The pesky thing about business is that business = tax. Tax = state revenue and is associated with the local economy. Unfortunately Uncle Sam has to have a piece of the pie and trying to make him go hungry will not work out favorably for you. Tax evasion, whether it is for $1 or $1,000,000 is both a state and federal offense.
3) Criminal Charges
As I said in the beginning, Florida is one of the states that requires a DBA. Failure to register can result in misdemeanor charges and up to a $1,000 fine. This is a criminal charge on your permanent record. This is something that is definitely not good for business!
4) Bank Accounts
One of the number 1 rules of doing business is keeping business and personal separate. This applies in all aspects including bank accounts. One of the first things you should do when starting your business is open a business bank account. An account that is business related only. In order to open a business bank account, a DBA is required. The bank you choose will require you to present your certificate as proof.
Can you mix your personal and business accounts to try to get around this? Sure. But you are just asking for trouble if you do. It will get messy and it will get complicated. Unless you are a stock holder in Excederin, I wouldn't recommend it.
So before we move on too much further, let's talk some more about tax laws. If you do not take all of the legal steps to collect sales tax, you legally cannot collect it. If you are providing a product, you are legally required to collect sales tax. So what happens if you collect sales tax but are unregistered? Well that friends, is a felony and is punishable by fines and jail time.
Let's look at another situation. You take the time to register your business. You collect sales tax. But when the time comes, you don't pay your taxes. You spent the money elsewhere and claimed $0 taxable income. That is an even worse felony. The state calls this "Theft of State Funds" and is punishable by fines and 5 years in the state penitentiary.
While I am sure that none of you would do this, I am putting that information out there just to show that when it comes down to business and legality, there are no loopholes.
So now that you know just a few of the reasons why it is so important for your business to be legal, let's move on to how to make your business legal. A side note, as you go through these steps and complete different licensing and registering requirement, be sure that you print and save PDF's. YOU WILL NEED THEM!
1) Choose Your Business Structure
The business structure you choose will have legal and tax implications. You will also need to know this information before you begin registering and licensing your business. There are 6 different structures, but the most common are LLC and sole proprietorship.
For information on the different structures and help in which one to use, click here: https://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/starting-managing-business/starting-business/choose-your-business-stru
2) Register With The IRS
Before you do anything else, you need to apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN). You will need this number throughout the rest of the process. There is no charge for this. Yay, free!
To get more information about EIN's and to apply for yours, click here: http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Apply-for-an-Employer-Identification-Number-(EIN)-Online
3) Register For Your Fictitious Name Certificate
Remember that pesky DBA I told you about before? Well this is where you take care of that. In Florida it is called a Fictitious Name Certificate. The filing fee to register a fictitious name is $50.00. You have the option to purchase a certificate of status for additional $10.00, or a certified copy for an additional $30.00.
For more information and to register, click here: https://efile.sunbiz.org/ficregintro.html
4) Register With Your County & City
Once you have completed all the other steps, you need to register with the county & city. Make sure that you have copies of all the paperwork from steps 2 &3. You will need to submit them with the application for your business license.

These links are for the COUNTY forms, NOT the CITY forms. You can google search for your particular city, or you can pick them up from your local tax man when you file for your county license.
You do have to pay for BOTH licenses. The charges will depend on your location. If you need help filing out the forms, just go in and talk to the tax man and they will walk you through it.
Have you done all that? Congratulations! You now have a legitimate business!
But wait, there's more...
What? What do you mean more?
Having a legitimate business will protect you in many, many ways. But there is also one more thing you need. Just like you need car insurance, you need business insurance. You may as well be playing the lottery with your livelihood, clients and self confidence when not carrying the proper insurance policies. There are quite a few very reputable companies that specialize in insurance for photographers.
For photography business owners equipment and liability insurance are the most critical insurance policies to secure protection. Even though you may be set up as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation, there is no limit to the need for business insurance. In fact, state laws may require that your business transactions be covered by a certain form of insurance.
When shooting in a variety of venues, proof of insurance may be required. Besides potential legal requirements, having insurance minimizes the risks that are associated with potential liabilities, losses and unfortunate events. I highly, highly recommend keeping a copy of your insurance certificate in your camera bag.
First and foremost, you need equipment insurance. Just like with your car, you will have deductibles (unless you get a premium plan that you REALLY pay for), but let's say you are traveling and $2,000 worth of gear is stolen. Or you accidentally drop and break your $2,000 camera body. Or one of the million other things that we risk going wrong every day from the second we wake up. Well that $250 deductible is going to look pretty nice in comparison to what you would have had to pay if you weren't covered!
Aside from equipment insurance, you need general liability insurance. This insurance is especially critical for photographers working in sensitive specializations (wedding, newborn, extreme sports, etc.) This insurance works as an umbrella to provide protection against legal actions arising from injuries, accidents and other claims.
Remember that quick google search I told you about in the very beginning? Lawsuits in the photography world are real and these days, they are getting nasty. Despite tort reform, photographers are facing lawsuits each and every day. I really cannot stress enough how important it is to get yourself covered. There's nothing wrong with dancing in the rain every once in a while, but you don't want to walk naked into the eye of a category 5 hurricane.
There are several very reputable companies that offer insurance specifically for photographers.
Marsh USA
Hill & Usher (aka Package Choice)
Hiscox USA
ProPhotographers Insurance
TCP Insurance
American Photographic Artists Insurance
I also highly recommend Professional Photographers of America. It is not an insurance company. It is a membership for professional photographers. That being said, your membership dues give you an AUTOMATIC coverage of $15,000 for equipment insurance. It also covers you with an Indemnification Trust.
What is an Indemnification Trust? It is a program offered exclusively through PPA . It's not insurance – it's a trust fund established to help protect photographers from allegations of negligence. So if you ever need that lawyer that we are trying to hard to avoid, PPA has your back.
If you want to join PPA or find out more about them, click here: https://www.ppa.com
If you choose to go through PPA, you have the option to pay a low (honestly it is really cheap) fee to get basically 'full coverage' insurance.
For more information on extended insurance through PPA, click here: http://ppa.locktonaffinity.com
And that is the end of the lesson. Keep in mind that you should do ALL of this before EVER CHARGING A PENNY to a single client.
Once you have legitimized yourself, the work really begins. Good luck!

Andre Jay Sutherland (born July 15, 1988 Saint Thomas Parish, Jamaica), better known as Popcaan or Poppi, is a Jamaican dancehall artist who is currently working and being mentored for Vybz Kartel under his Portmore Empire. Sutherland is originally from Seaforth, St Thomas, Jamaica but was raised in Portmore from the age of seven. As a youngster he attended the Happy Grove High School located in Hector's River, Portland Jamaica where he began to show signs of his love for and desire of wanting to become a dancehall artiste. During his high school days, poppi was associated with other potential dancehall acts such as Zebbi D, Gilberto, and War Hammer just to name a few. He was known by many to be somewhat of a trouble maker during his high school days, as he was always getting into trouble with authority within the school.

A Court of Appeal Judge, Justice Dennis Dominic Adjei, has said that a strong judiciary is the backbone of every economy and any calculated attempt by some individuals to tag the entire Judiciary as corrupt for Ghanaians to lose confidence in the Judiciary would spell doom for the society.
Justice Adjei said this during the swearing-in of newly appointed Circuit Court Judges and Magistrates in Accra.
The Judge, who is also the President for the Association of Magistrates and Judges of Ghana (A.M.J.G), added that as a democratic country committed to freedom, probity, accountability and the rule of law, the people of Ghana should rather have confidence in the Judicial Council, which had not relented in its constitutional mandate for disciplining Judges who had flouted either a constitutional provision or law or Code of Conduct for Judges and Magistrates.
He further stated that there was no doubt that the recent Anas' expose had painted the Judiciary black in the eyes of the world.
The Court of Appeal Judge however, explained that at the time of the expose, there were four hundred (400) Judges and Magistrates in Ghana and thirty-four (34) of that number was indicted, that is eight point five percent (8.5%).
Justice Adjei continued that out of the twelve (12) High Court Judges who were indicted, two (2) had retired and the preliminary investigation by the Chief Justice exonerated one of them and it was the cases of the remaining nine (9) Judges which was pending.
He reiterated that one of the twenty-two (22) Lower Bench Judges was also exonerated and the remaining twenty-one (21) were dismissed.
'The above analysis discloses that those indicted by the expose were eight percent (8%). I shall not condone corruption but I am of the considered opinion that the indictment of eight point five percent (8.5%) by the expose was over exaggerated to include all Judges and Magistrates', he enunciated.
The Judge also said that the percentage of the Judges who were indicted was a minute fraction of the Judiciary and it was unfair to tag the entire Judiciary as corrupt.
He also indicated that the media indeed over exaggerated the percentage of the Judges and Magistrates who were indicted by Anas, adding that the effect of bastardising all Judges and Magistrates had a serious negative impact on the economy as it would deter investors from investing in the country and those who might invest, might make provision for fora outside Ghana for breaches of contract to be determined.
'Nothing should be done for the people to lose confidence in the Judiciary, when there is evidence that some Judges and Magistrates could not be corrupted and about ninety-two percent (92%) of the Judges and Magistrates were not indicted', he warned.
Justice Adjei advised that any calculated attempt by some few individuals to attack the whole Judiciary without any basis must stop to straighten the dent caused to the entire Judiciary and also restore the confidence of the hardworking and upright Judges and Magistrates, whose spirits had been dampened as a result of the over generalised assault on the Judiciary.
