We all follow the State of the Union Address in the US, and the Queen's Speech in the UK, but have you heard about the Chinese equivalent, at their 'Two Sessions' of parliament – the Liang Hui?
The head of our China practice, Mark Pinner, has posted an analysis on this which reveals the Chinese government's plans. Check out some key developments to watch out for over the coming months:
China switches gear to an economic era with more moderate growth, shifting away from low-cost manufacturing and heavy industry to a more advanced, consumer-focused and service-oriented economy.
China goes global with the new 'China2025 Strategy' that encourages Chinese companies to expand abroad, and creates potential opportunities to partner with them.
China goes local, decentralising power to local governments, and how foreign business need follow suit.
China opens up parts of the economy allowing foreign investment in a host of new areas such as steel, ethylene, oil refining, paper making, electric transformation, alcoholic spirits, to name a few.
China turns digital. With the 'Internet Plus' action plan, watch out for smart cities with more integrated services using e-networks, Internet Banking, online appointments, video lectures, doctors and telemedicine, and transport.
What is the Liang Hui?
The Liang Hui comprises the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) which both sit with their full constituent members over a two-week period in March every year.
During this time the NPC and CPPCC discuss important issues, debate ideas and are a vehicle for achieving consensus. The NPC is China's highest parliamentary body and, although most legislation is approved by its 175-member Standing Committee which meets throughout the year, the most important bills are put to the full body during the Liang Hui sessions.
What's important to watch at the Liang Hui?
The centrepiece of the Liang Hui is the Government's Work Report, delivered and broadcast live by the Premier (Prime Minister) in person. This not only reports on the government's progress over the previous year, but also combines many new macro-level policy announcements.
In the two weeks of the Liang Hui's sessions, the Work Report is followed by considerable debate from both the NPC and CPPCC, then wrapped up by the Premier giving an extended press conference to a large audience of journalists. This is one of the few opportunities that media (both foreign and domestic) have to ask unscripted questions directly to one of China's top leaders.
Together, the Liang Hui events provide an opportunity to analyse how the government perceives its record over the last year, identify what will be coming over the following year, and determine issues of concern to China's political representatives.
Why should I care about the Liang Hui?
While regulatory changes and suggestions of macroeconomic emphasis have a clear impact for business risk and opportunities, following the government's policy leads is important too.
Domestic companies, especially SOEs, ignore the government's priorities at their peril. With foreign companies, for whom the bar of corporate behaviour is often higher than their local equivalents, this is very important, especially given the Chinese government's activist approach to promoting domestic industry.
All this makes it important for foreign companies in China to demonstrate how they act like a local company as much as possible. The Liang Hui is an important vehicle to follow these trends.
Below is a short analysis of the announcements and discussion at the Liang Hui, highlighting some of these trends.
New Normal & Economic Growth
The Government drew on their concept of 'New Normal' in detail. This provides a framework for the economy moving into a new era characterised by slower growth and including a 'rebalancing' from overcapacity in low-cost exports to a higher-end, more consumer and service-oriented economy.
With an expectation of 7% economic growth, this is lower than c.7.5% in 2014 and much less than in the boom years over the last decade.
Li emphasised the government's confidence in maintaining the growth targets, noting that 'in the past couple of years [they] did not resort to massive stimulus measures for economic growth … [and so have] 'ample room to exercise macroeconomic regulation'. Measures to stimulate the economy include large-scale infrastructure projects such as social housing, more railways and roads.
There should be more opportunities for companies in higher-technology manufacturing and services. International companies should position themselves as contributing to the government's shift.
Streamlining Administration & delegating government powers
A long-running programme of the Premier is his drive to withdraw from the market wherever possible. He has repeatedly emphasized that the Party wants to leave managing business to business, reduce bureaucracy for business, and delegating decision-making from central to local government. This was a core part of his announcements and is set to continue throughout 2015.
Li also noted his commitment to economic reform, especially in tackling vested interests which 'will be upset as the government shatters its own powers'. He used a visceral metaphor officially translated into English as 'Like taking a knife to its own flesh' but is literally 'cutting off one's own hand'.
In addition, a new revision to the Legislation Law passed by the NPC at the Liang Hui, will increase in local government flexibility. This change significantly expands the potential number of cities in China that can exercise the right to make their own legislation, which will be able to cover rural/urban development and management, environmental protection, and preservation of history/culture.
This new reform could potentially see considerable change in investment environments at a local level. However these powers will be rolled out 'step-by-step' when provincial level legislatures deem their local levels are ready for it, so which may be slow.
This trend in delegation of power to a local level increases the importance for businesses of building links with local government. This will bring its own set of challenges; even though companies find central government difficult to understand, local governments are usually much less familiar with foreigners and foreign business.
Further opening up?
Market access changes announced around the Liang Hui period reduce the number of 'restricted' sectors for foreign investment from 79 to 38. This opens up manufacturing sectors in steel, ethylene, oil refining, paper making, electric transformation, white spirits (e.g. alcoholic drinks) sectors, as well as some areas of services, such as e-commerce, logistics, transport, finance and culture.
Although positive, this change needs to be considered in light of the overall investment climate. One area of substantial concern to some foreign investors at present is the new Foreign Investment Law under which foreign, but not domestic, companies would have potentially onerous reporting requirements to local governments. Taken as a whole, this change could even outweigh the positive gains from the increased market access changes.
China going global
In a new bid to build up Chinese industrial giants, the new 'China 2025 Strategy' is designed to encourage domestic companies, especially SOEs, to expand abroad, drawing on the large economies of scale available from China's huge domestic markets.
The Strategy focuses on railways and nuclear power, but will also reach machinery and communications equipment, automobiles, aircraft and electronics.
This strategy is probably a formalisation of strategies already being employed by many companies, such as in the ITC where Lenovo and Huawei which have been following this model for years.
Although it is early days, there may be opportunities to come for international companies to partner with larger Chinese counterparts in this process.
Increasing mass entrepreneurship & innovation
Increasing entrepreneurship and innovation were another new theme from the Premier, which he noted would be crucial for job creation and increasing overall income.
He announced a range of measures to help new businesses, including combining the business licence and other various necessary certificates into one, to improve conditions for micro and small businesses, such as increased numbers of low-rent spaces, and use of national guidance funds for seed capital investment.
This change is likely to help international SMEs establish operations in China.
Companies should also note the emphasis on mass entrepreneurship and be ready to position themselves as encouraging innovation in China. Bringing this theme into CSR activities could be one way to do this.
Rule of Law & anti-corruption
The Government's emphasis on anti-corruption continued, continuing the 'Rule of Law' campaign, promising to make government officials use power in a more transparent way.
It is easy for a Westerner to hear this and think that China will move to a system with an independent judiciary, but the campaign is more about moving the Party to a legal basis, and should not be interpreted as an indication that China will see a rapid move to a legal system independent of the Party. Rule of Law is therefore better understood as 'Rule by Law', or 'Rule According to the Law'.
As part of the Government's efficiency drive, the Premier announced a drive to increase Intellectual Property protection and food safety while reducing swindles and fake goods.
There is always a lot of talk about stricter enforcement of IP rights so it remains to be seen whether this will lead to any major changes.
Companies in the food sector should also note mention of increased food safety measures and be very well prepared ready to deal with problems when they arise. Having problematic issues in a sector where the government is preparing a crackdown is especially dangerous, especially for foreign companies which can make easy targets.
Environment & pollution control
The Liang Hui began with high levels of public expectation about the environment, as surveys of Chinese citizens in domestic media rated this as the most important topic for discussion.
The topic was highlighted by the release of a documentary 'Under the Dome' about air pollution in China by former CCTV journalist Cai Jing immediately before the Liang Hui. This gathered huge public attention and, after a few days web links to download it were blocked.
In contrast, discussion about the environment at the Liang Hui was relatively muted, although the Government promised more support to environmental departments, highlighted that energy conservation and emission reduction targets are now put together on same level of priority as economic and social targets, and promised that failure to enforce environmental targets/dereliction of duty handled would be punished harshly. A backhanded comment from the Premier about the environment called for 'joint efforts of the whole of society'.
The relative lack of emphasis on environment is likely because there is no easy short-term solution to China's environmental issues.
The Premier's comment is noteworthy though, which may imply that government-led social behavior campaigns are under consideration.
The Cai Jing documentary also illustrates different priorities within the government. The fact that the documentary was not blocked at first suggests that it was initially seen as a possibly helpful way to raise awareness of pollution monitoring, but the huge interest later and subsequent blocking of web links may have deflected attention from the Government's overall agenda and highlighted their inability to deal with the issue easily.
A Connected Society
The new Internet Plus action plan aims to integrate mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data and the Internet of Things with modern manufacturing, to encourage the healthy development of e-commerce, industrial networks, and Internet banking, and to help Internet companies increase their international presence.
Examples discussed around the Liang Hui include e-networks, Internet Banking or online appointments such as video lectures, taxi-sharing apps, doctors, telemedicine. Many of these could help solve social problems such as reducing car emissions, save time, or bring services to remote and/or poor areas.
This is also likely to see integration with smart (digital) cities – traffic planning, street lights, and buildings.
The action plan suggests plenty of areas of opportunity for international businesses, but there are also areas for concern e.g. personal data security concerns, integration with services overseas.
This short analysis shows how major political events in China such as the Liang Hui can highlight upcoming opportunities and threats for foreign investors.
Companies are well advised to spend sufficient time and resources to analyse the impact of this and other political events on their business.
This also highlights the importance having an effective government affairs and monitoring function in China, in order to guide corporate strategy and position their company more effectively.

Placing both heavy duty trucks side-by-side in a friendly and fair vehicle comparison, we hope to highlight some of the reasons you might elect to indulge in the Ford Super Duty F-250 over Chevrolet's like-minded truck.

A retail business is more than a bottom line. It's a service and a comfort and a touchstone for its customers. A truly great business makes gut-level connections to the people and communities it serves.
Seldom has this resonance been more apparent to metro Detroiters than with the imminent closing of two retail icons: The last link to Hudson's at Eastland Center in Harper Woods and, in the west-side suburb of Garden City, the nation's first Kmart.
My mother grew up a mile or so from Eastland on the same block she raised her four children. My wife, Lori, grew up a few blocks from the original Kmart, which stretches most of a block on Ford Road, just west of Middle Belt.
This is how I found myself on two separate Sundays shopping with the two of the most important women in my life. My mother and my wife helped me understand how a business can shape lives and echo through decades.
A mother's memories
"Right here," mom said, planting her feet in front of an empty glass case at a desolate Macy's in Eastland. "Right here is where I sold ties for Hudson's."
For a moment, my 74-year-old mother is 16 again. The year is 1958: The mall just outside the northeast corner of Detroit opened a year ago, and young Florence Sharp has landed the job at Hudson's through a Junior Achievement program at Denby High School in Detroit. "We had to wear dark skirts and white blouses."
Mom's mind leaps forward five years, when Eastland is still an open-air mall and she sees my great-grandfather sitting on a bench outside Hudson's at lunch time. He comes here every day to chat with his brother, his neighbors and strangers. "He loved visiting here."
Now it's 1968 in mom's head: Her 5-year-old son opens the door to Hudson's for a stranger who happens to be former G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams. "That boy is going places," Williams says, nodding at me, "because he already knows to open doors." Mom beams.
Five years later: She's standing in a block-long line outside Hudson's to get her four young children immunizations at the mall. "Polio shots."
And now she's back in the present, planted in front of an empty glass case in a store that will close March 19, the Hudson's turned Marshall Field's turned Macy's that meant so much to this blue-collar neighborhood.
"This was a meeting place," she said on a chilly Sunday in March. "This was a place we worked, and shopped and fell in love. A part of me is closing with the store."
Mary Anne Burke nodded her head. The 60-year-old St. Clair Shores resident was shopping at Macy's with her husband, Pat, when I pulled her into our conversation. Hudson's is where Burke came on her wedding day to get her hair done. It's where she bought dresses for her two daughters' weddings. Like my mom, Burke is still trying to replicate the recipe to Hudson's famous Maurice Salad.
"I'm here to say goodbye to Hudson's," she said. Call it Hudson's, Marshall Field's or Macy's — this place is more than bricks and mortar to Burke. "It's part of growing up. It's part of my history."
Attention Kmart shoppers
We were greeted by half-empty shelves and a beige tile floor pocked with holes the size of car tires. "This is the original floor," Lori gasped as we walked into her Kmart, which opened three months before Lori was born in 1962. "It smells the same."
She pointed to the store's southwest corner, where there used to be a lunch counter. "I always wanted to eat there, but my mother wouldn't let me," Lori said. "We couldn't afford it."
She came from a middle-class family with priorities: Rather than buy snacks, Lori's mother made sure her two daughters left Kmart with the latest Nancy Drew book. "I fell in love with reading here," said Lori, who grew up to be a bookstore manager.
I noticed an elderly couple pawing through sweatshirts and asked them if they had memories of this Kmart. "You bet," said Frank Pongracz, 77, who lives nearby with his wife, Judith, 76. She nodded her head while folding a shirt.
"They ought to have talked to the neighbors before closing," Judith said.
"I don't think they care about us anymore," Frank said. "They used to."
"I'm kind of concerned because for people like us from Garden City, we don't have a lot of stores around," said Judith. "We're going to have to drive too far."
Lori frowned. "This is part of the neighborhood."
"We love it," Judith replied. "It wasn't just the prices and products. It was the atmosphere, that feeling that you were part of the community. For many people, this was the place you came to shop together."
Frank put his left hand around Judith and steered her toward their buggy, shaking my hand and saying goodbye. "I hope," he paused. "I hope we can find another place."

From print to digital… and beyond
My work as a Digital Strategist began in 2001, an early stage in internet adoption. Then the projects were typically about migrating traditional marketing and communications activity online.
Now the projects are more diverse – digital strategy planning, eCommerce, new digital propositions, social media, intranets, content strategy and much more. What hasn't changed in my focus on ensuring that the audience is front of mind.
That audience centricity has its roots in my training as a journalist. I started my career in business media. By my late 20s I had become the first woman in Ireland to edit a business publication in Ireland. In between I picked up a couple of national media awards.
Media entrepreneur
Co-founding The Sunday Business Post newspaper in 1989 provided me with the opportunity to combine two passions – media and entrepreneurship. But it also involved a learning curve in terms of raising equity, launching a national brand, competing against established market players and generating commercial revenues.
The learnings were better than any MBA could offer. As a founding shareholder, Director and Company Secretary, I combined board responsibilities with an executive role in producing a national newspaper. The team effort by executive shareholders, management and staff produced a leading Irish media brand and ultimately led to its sale to a PLC.
Other roles
In 2003 I took my first non-executive role when I joined the board of ASH Ireland which successfully championed the introduction of the workplace smoking ban. I am also a former Non-Executive Director of Ireland's largest business network Chambers Ireland.
Currently, I am a Non-Executive Director of:
- The Road Safety Authority, the State body whose mission is to save lives and prevent injuries on our roads and
- Business in the Community, which helps businesses to develop and implement their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies.
I am also a member of the Executive Committee of the Irish chapter of the International Women's Forum, one of 70 globally for this networking organisation of "pre-eminent women of significant and diverse achievement."
I have also sat on industry or advisory groups including the Consumer Strategy Group, the Procurement Innovation Group and the steering group which established IAB Ireland the industry body for digital publishers.
In 2016, I was awarded Chartered Director status by the Institute of Directors. This is the globally-recognised professional qualification for company directors. In 2015, I was awarded both the Diploma and Certificate in Company Direction under the Institute of Directors' Chartered Director Programme.

California Congressional District 10
"It seems the longer D.C. millionaire Jeff Denham stays in the Congress, the less he cares about the Central Valley and the more he cares about what his D.C. Party leadership thinks of him." ~DCCC
"Denham is a career politician who quickly became comfortable with the trappings of power as a newly elected member of the Republican Tea Party class of 2010."
"If we're going to take back the House and end the Tea Party's divisive rule, it has to start by defeating extreme Republicans right here in California." ~California Democratic Party
"By tacitly endorsing Trump, Republicans like Denham... endorse Trump's most egregious policy ideas – stripping voting rights from people of color, subjecting Muslims to loyalty tests, breaking apart families of Mexican immigrants, usurping individual rights in the name of "law and order," building a wall, instituting trade wars, allowing Russia free rein in the Middle East. Silence, in this case, provides support. In August, when we first implored Denham to reject Trump, he said we were subjecting him to an unfair "litmus test...." but said he still supports his party's nominee. So, we put off writing this endorsement to give Denham every opportunity to reconsider. He has not. If Jeff Denham won't stand against Trump now, voters should not stand with him on Nov. 8."Read more here:

Joseph Sheppard has painted a president, sculpted a pope, written books on art and shown his work across the U.S. and Europe.
But a new art gallery that opens Tuesday marks perhaps the greatest achievement of all for the Maryland-born artist: It will be the first time that a permanent gallery has opened in the state to house the works of a single living artist.
"I think it's my best work," the 79-year-old Sheppard says. "If this happens at all, the artist is usually dead. This is quite unique."

Now I, I know we're not in Kansas.
Are you a good witch or a bad witch ?
Who, me ?
Why, I'm not a witch at all.
I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Oh, well, is that the witch ?
Who ? Toto ? Toto's my dog.
Well, I'm a little muddled.
The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East.
And there's the house and here you are and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.
And so, what The Munchkins want to know is are you a good witch or a bad witch ?
But I've already told you I'm not a witch at all.
Witches are old and ugly.
What was that ?
The Munchkins.
They're laughing because I am a witch.
I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.
You are ! Oh ! I beg your pardon.
But I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
Only bad witches are ugly.
The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East.
Oh, but if you please, what are Munchkins ?
The little people who live here in this land. It's Munchkinland and you're their national heroine, my dear.
It's all right, you may all come out and thank her.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are and meet
the young lady who fell from a star.
She's fell from the sky,
she fell very far and Kansas,
she says is the name of the star.
Kansas, she says is the name of the star.
She brings you good news
or haven't you heard ?
When she fell out of Kansas
a miracle occurred.
It really was no miracle.
What happened was just this ?
The wind began to switch the house to pitch.
And suddenly the hinges
started to unhitch.
Just then the witch,
to satisfy an itch went flying
on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch.
And, oh, what happened then
was rich.
The house began to pitch.
The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the wicked witch
in the middle of a ditch.
Which was not a healthy situation
for the Wicked Witch.
The house began to pitch.
The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the wicked witch
in the middle of a ditch.
Which was not a healthy situation
for the Wicked Witch.
Who began to twitch and was
reduced to just a stitch of what was
once the wicked witch.
We thank you very sweetly
for doing it so neatly.
You've killed her so completely.
That we thank you very sweetly.
Let the joyous news be spread.
The wicked old witch at last is dead.
Ding-dong, the witch is dead.
Which old witch ? The wicked witch !
Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead.
Wake up, you sleepy head.
Rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the wicked witch is dead.
She's gone where the Goblins go,
below, below, below, yo-ho !
Let's open up and sing.
And ring the bells out ding-dong,
the merry-oh. Sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
the wicked the witch is dead.

Shiny new flooring, installed this week, awaits visitors at the Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City in Shawnee.
The new flooring in the main hall, exhibit rooms and the large exhibit space in the back of the museum was made possible by a $65,000 grant received earlier this year from the Sunderland Foundation.
"The flooring was old and worn out and definitely needed replacing," said Roxane Hill , the museum's executive director. "The $65,000 enabled us to do that."
Hill, who took over as executive director of the museum in January, said the museum has been "making improvements and upgrades in recent months after years of deferred maintenance. We hope to have everything ready by the end of the month."
The improvements included painting the interior of the museum, a thorough cleaning of exhibit rooms, adding new features to several exhibits and opening a farm-to-market exhibit in April.
Wonderscope was founded in 1989 by Mary Porter, in the former Shawnee elementary school where it's still located.
In 2008, the Children's Museum of Kansas City merged with Wonderscope to form Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City, and continued operating in the same Shawnee building at 5700 King St.
"Wonderscope's mission is to spark a love of learning through the power of play," Hill said. "We provide children eight years old and under an opportunity to expand their creative skills, explore their world, learn to share and solve problems.
We strive to be a partner to early childhood education programs as well as families as they prepare their children for kindergarten and beyond," Hill explained. "Wonderscope works to develop the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually through the various exhibits and experiences offered throughout the museum."
Wonderscope features hands-on exhibits focusing on art, science, math and reading designed for children up to eight years old. A variety of ongoing programming and special events designed to provide children and families with diverse and engaging learning experiences is offered by the museum.
Among the popular exhibits are the "Ready, Vet Go!" exhibit that teaches children about pet ownership and care, the Lego building room, the farm and garden exhibit, raceways and water exhibits and the small wonders room for children up to two years old.
Once a month Wonderscope offers the WonderPalooza Arts series, sponsored by ArtsKC, and brings in musical guests. On Sept. 3, Dino O'Dell performs at 11 a.m. On Oct. 8 it's the Allegro Children's Choir at 11 a.m. and on Oct. 29 it's WonderSpook at 5 p.m.
During September and October there will be new programming Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The schedule:
▪ Tuesdays: Storytime
▪ Wednesday: Music
▪ Thursdays: Art
▪ Fridays: Storytime and Craft
Wonderscope is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. year round. The museum hosts school and preschools for field trips and may be rented for evening events and birthday parties.
The museum, a nonprofit organization, draws about 60,000 visitors a year. The museum is supported by an annual grant of $10,000 from the city of Shawnee, grants from metro area businesses and admissions, $7 for adults, $3 for children and no charge for children two and under.

Union Pacific Photo Safety
We get it. You're looking for the perfect picture. But whether it's a silly selfie or a photo with friends, taking pictures on train tracks is more than illegal – it can be deadly. Walking on train tracks is always dangerous and avoidable. Picture this: It's a clear, quiet day and you find yourself in a scenic area on a railroad track. Think you'll hear or see an approaching train? Think again. Most of a train's sound is behind it, so you might not hear it until it's too late. Always put your safety first and expect a train at all times.
Think You'll Hear a Train? Think Again.
- Only walk across the tracks at designated railroad crossings, located where the street intersects with the tracks.
- Never walk between the rails or areas that are not designated railroad crossings.
- Avoid distractions such as loud music, texting or talking on cell phones when crossing the railroad tracks.
- Stay away from trains and other railroad property, including trestles, yards and equipment.
- Call the number posted at the crossing or 911 to report unsafe behavior on the tracks.

Mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel attends the first round of testimony at a residency hearing on the question of whether he is eligible to run for mayor of Chicago. (Michael Tercha/Tribune)
Mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel smiled a lot and kept his famously sharp tongue in check during hour after hour of repetitive and sometimes off-the-wall questioning today by Chicago activists at an election board hearing over attempts to knock him off the ballot.
The hearing ended after more than 11 hours, shortly before 9 p.m., with Emanuel still sitting at a table in the front of the hearing room. Seasoned election lawyers and Chicago activists took turns pressing the former White House chief of staff on the issue of how he meets the requirement that candidates must live in Chicago for a year prior to the mayoral election.

text: Soul Rise - 28 Day Soul Coaching® - Beaverton, OR 28 Day Soul Coaching® What is it? This unique 28 day Soul Coaching® program is designed for anyone who is wanting to better their lives and find true happiness within. It is a spiritual process that takes you into your deepest self, removing debris, clutter and other "noises" that prevent you from finding your inner wisdom. The aim of Soul Coahing® is to align your inner spiritual life with your outer life. It helps you to clear away mental and emotional clutter so you can hear the messages from within. It also helps you to discover your purpose so you can design a life that supports that purpose. It's daily lessons are fun, encouraging and full of amazing tools that WILL help you tap into the greatest parts of yourself. This course is divided into four one-week periods, and each week is dedicated to one of the four elements: Air(Mental), Water (Emotional), Fire (Spirit), Earth (Physical). It can be done with daily lessons, or over 28 weeks, with each lesson taking a week to do. It is flexible in nature and works miracles even with a minimal amount of effort! This program was designed with three levels: Level One: "Committed to Change" Doing the Level One exercises usually takes 5 to 10 minutes a day. Level Two: "Going for it" includes doing both Level One and Level Two exercises and will usually take 10 to 30 minutes a day. Level Three: "Playing Full Out" Includes doing the Level One, Level Two, and Level Three exercises, and takes as long as it takes. Ways to take the course: One-on-one: You meet with me once a week, either at my office or your house. You can sign up for a series of individual sessions (6 sessions) or alternatively, you can schedule a session as needed. Groups: We meet weekly (for 5 weeks) as a group and also stay in touch as an e-group and/or have a conference call during the week. Groups work well because we have so much to learn from each other and its exciting to go through the process with other like minded people who "get it". On line: This is a great way of doing the program without having to commit time to meeting in person. I will be there for you via email (I will offer daily support through the process). This can be done one on one or with a group. What is my role as your Soul Coach? I truly believe that we all need support and encouragement to get us through the rough periods of our lives and too few of us reach out for help or find the people who even know how to help us. It's important to have a support system and have that friend or family member to call when you need a shoulder to cry on. Lord knows my mom is my direct life line to my survival, I'm sure of it! But I too can offer you support and encouragement, and with all of my life experiences and an innate ability to bring out the best in people, I will guide you to find your best you. I offer unconditional support and I never judge someone for being human! I will be there to guide you through the program by sending daily emails encouraging you along your journey. I will be there for you with any of your "ah ha" moments and help you understand what it all means. I am not a therapist. I will not try to "fix" your past. Rather what I do is help you get past these long standing issues and instead focus on your present self and your true potential for the future. I want nothing more than to see every human being happy. I know that is a tall order, but I truly believe that with each person I help, they then in turn help four more people. I do this work because I believe in all human beings and their greatness. I believe in you, because who you are is enough! Website Builder provided by Vistaprint

Boise State redshirt freshman linebacker Joe Martarano performed well enough in his surprise start against Nevada to earn regular playing time.
Martarano, the former Fruitland High three-sport star, tied for second on the team with six tackles Oct. 4 at Nevada. He started in place of Blake Renaud, whose excellent senior season was disrupted by an injury.
Even if Renaud returns for Friday's game against Fresno State (6 p.m., ESPN), Martarano likely will play.
"He did a good job," linebackers coach Andy Avalos said. "In his first game getting a lot of action, he did some really good things that we can build off of. We've got a certain standard we want to play at and when guys get to that standard and can communicate and can execute at that standard, we'll find a way to get them on the field."
Martarano played more than half of the 73 defensive snaps at middle linebacker. Senior Travis Saxton, who missed nearly all of last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, also played there.
"It was cool," Martarano said. "I've been just preparing hard for that moment. It was cool to get that opportunity. I watch Blake all the time. That's a good experience for me to watch him."
Martarano barely had played on defense before the Nevada game. He starts on punt and punt return but went into the game with just one tackle.
He was stuck behind four of the Broncos' best defensive players — Renaud, junior Tyler Gray, sophomore Tanner Vallejo and sophomore Ben Weaver — at linebacker. Injuries forced the Broncos to move Vallejo from middle linebacker to nickel and opened a crack for Martarano. Renaud's injury forced him into the lineup.
"You just have to stay positive and prepare hard and watch the older guys in front of you so when you get your chance you do well," Martarano said.
While Martarano hadn't played much defense on game day, he had been getting quality time in practice.
"We'd been working on getting him ready behind the scenes," Avalos said. "He's been getting reps at that position. We do a lot of stuff on defense — the (middle) linebacker has to control a lot of that. For that guy, at that position, it's a lot to learn for anybody, let alone a freshman. And I think Joey has come a long, long way and he's continuing to get better each and every day. That's our goal for him."
Martarano said he hasn't spoken to the Chicago Cubs about next summer. He was a bit disappointed that the club won't have a team in Boise anymore, but he likes the stadium in Eugene, Ore.
"I've just been staying focused on football," he said.
Martarano spent part of last summer with the Cubs' team in Mesa, Ariz.
The Oct. 24 Boise State-BYU game has been slated for ESPN. It was originally listed as ESPN or ESPN2. The game begins at 7 p.m.

Reasonableness of Certain Conditions.
The parties declare that the territorial and time limitations as stated herein, are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of each party's business. In the event that any of the territorial or time limitations are deemed to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then all parties agree and submit to the reduction of either the territorial or time limitation as the court deems reasonable.

The Company's subsidiaries and affiliated entities are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
Equitable Relief.
Each party acknowledges that a breach by the other party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching party, without the requirement of posting bond, from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and the parties hereby each consent to the entry of an injunction by any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity.

Notices will be deemed effective two (2) business days after mailing, postage prepaid, if mailed, or the next day if sent by overnight courier service. Notices shall go to, in the case of Customer, to the address provided in the Terms, or, in the case of the Company, to our headquarters as provided for on the Website or in the Terms, or to any other addresses subsequently provided in writing by a party.
Customer may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder, either in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company.

Any assignment or transfer by Customer by operation of law, merger, consolidation, transfer of a majority of the voting equity of Customer or any similar transaction or series of related transactions shall be an assignment prohibited by this Section.
Waiver and Modification.
Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any waiver, amendment or other modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the parties.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Controlling Law, Jurisdiction.
This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled, interpreted and defined by and under the laws of the State of California and the United States, without regard to the conflicts of law's provisions thereof.

The approach of St. Patrick`s Day has been heralded by another round of murderous violence in the north of Ireland, most of it perpetrated by the terrorist thugs of the Irish Republican Army. It has become one of the tragic ironies of this long sectarian struggle that stepped-up IRA carnage is often a sign that the more responsible parties in this conflict are making renewed efforts toward progress and peace.
There has been progress. But it has followed some awful mistakes in recent months. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, stung by the brutal IRA bombing of her Conservative Party conference at Brighton last year, flatly and rudely rejected all the flexible proposals for a future Ireland made by the principal Catholic political parties of the island in their enlightened Forum Report--causing considerable embarrassment and political damage to her moderate counterpart, Irish Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald.

In late November of 2015, a curious experimental pop album by Ottawa's Merganzer, better known as violinist Mika Posen, made its way into the public's ears.
A 10-track LP with instrumentation varying from Posen's signature violin to moody moog and synth sounds, Mirror Maze became a sure accomplishment for the classically trained violinist. After one year since it's release, Mirror Maze will be finding a new home on vinyl this October, with the help of local label, Record Centre Records.
"I released my album just on CD and digital format last November," Posen said. "I was doing everything independently and paying for everything myself and vinyl just seemed absolutely unaffordable. It was my first time releasing an album and I wasn't sure how it was going to go. It just seemed like a really big commitment to order such a huge and heavy physical product. Even though that's how I always envisioned the album, on vinyl."
Though she could not bring her vision to fruition with the initial release, Posen found a saving grace within local record store owner and audiophile, John Thompson.
"I was living in Ottawa, and I was doing an interview for a podcast right before my album came out," Posen explained. "One of the guys who was interviewing me told me about John from The Record Centre. He told me that he really wants to make sure that local artists are putting out high quality releases that sound great and look beautiful. So they suggested I get in touch with him. So here we are a year later, putting out the same album on vinyl!"
Mirror Maze is an ethereal mix of experimental pop and reverence for classical composers such as Dvorak and Mendelssohn, two of Posen's favourites. The album entraps the listener in it's dreamy world but lets them wander through the vast instrumentation and explore the depths of Posen's musical prowess. It is both nostalgically familiar and refreshingly new.
In the lead up to Mirror Maze's release, Posen lived in Berlin to join Agnes Obel's live band as a violinist.
"I spent a lot of time by myself in Berlin" Posen said with a chuckle. "In that time I ended up visiting some of the graves of my favourite composers. I went to Dvorak's grave in Prague, so I have one song on the album that's about Dvorak, and sort of about that day. And I went to visit Mendelssohn's grave in Berlin. So I have another song that's about Mendelssohn and about other things that were going through my mind at the time too."
The two songs that Posen is speaking about are"Vltava" and "Songs Without Words" respectively.
"So I suppose in that way, [Berlin] and my experiences there influenced the songs. It was very powerful I found, having spent so much time playing their music," she said.
The Mirror Maze vinyl release will take place on Oct. 8 at The Record Centre. The show will see Posen accompanied by her long-time friend and musical collaborator Katie Hurdon, to play a unique live version of Mirror Maze which will include acoustic piano and string loops.
"I've always wanted to do a show that was just piano and instruments," Posen said. "The Record Centre happened to have a piano so this might finally be my chance to do it. There's not a lot of venues in Ottawa that have pianos, so I think this will be a special one!" •

But just whatever...
I was trying to be someone I'm not. I was trying to program my brain to write in a series under one topic. My brain never thinks under one idea, like ever.
A year later, I've embraced that I am in fact a wanderer. I don't work well in the confines of strict order and tight boundaries, especially when it comes to creating and curating ideas and thoughts.
So this October I have no idea what I will write about for 31 days, but God does and as Andy Stanly just quoted at Catalyst, "what God originates, God orchestrates."
So, pressures off...
Here's what I got. I'm at Catalyst in Atalanta with my super hero (aka my man) and two of my best friends who do the real life daily grind with me and handfuls of others who share my heart that I know from all over the country. That's some of them above.
Catalyst is a leadership conference for people who love Jesus. Most probably work in churches, others, like me just lead in their places bc we too have been called out for it. I've only been to one day of lab breakout sessions and I'm a hot mess. Actually, I've been so affirmed in the two areas I was absolutly dry in. So really, I'm more ready to go home and shake things up than I am a mess. That will however be messy.
But here's the thing.
We often try to play it so safe that we miss the SAVIOR.
We try to avoid the mess so much that we miss the MESSAGE.
So this month, as Andy Stanley asked us here this morning "Who are you and What breaks your heart?"
For the next 31 days I'm going to be sharing with you who I am and whatever else God asks me to. I'm gonna share with you all of it, the messes and messages that God leads me to and through.
I hope you'll share some too. Let's do this crazy life together.
Things of note from today.
Dr. John Perkins
Andy Stanley
Josiah Bell
And of course my beautiful IF:Local community - you are my people and I am so proud of you. You've changed me.

Stories. We all have them. Even if your life seems ordinary, it's a story. You can choose what to do with it. Ignore your story and suffer when bad things happen. Recognize your story, change your perception of it, and you will have peace even when bad things happen.
Just like the stories, we all also have creativity when we let Christ inside us. It doesn't matter if you build houses or paint masterpieces. We're made in God's image, right? And the first recorded thing He did was create. "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth." If we're made in His image, then we must do as He did, in small ways. But first we must let Christ, God's image, inside.
I'm interested in your story and your creativity. When I pass people in the streets, I think to myself, "They have stories tucked inside themselves. I wonder what they could do with the power of Christ in them?" I know you have a story too. Sometimes sharing your story is what it takes to step back and change your perception of it. Talking about your creativity might be what it takes to unleash more of it.
Let me help you share your story. Send me an email and we'll create an interview that will encourage and bless my readers. I don't care how unimportant (or important) you think you are, there are people out there just like you, and they will drink up your story and use it to discover the power they have inside.
Click the contact page and email me.
Thank you for who you are.

At Bishop Perowne CE College we strongly believe that all our students should have an equal entitlement and opportunity to a wealth of experiences which develop their skills and abilities, build their confidence and resilience and also prepare them for a happy and successful life beyond their time at our school.
It is our aim to ensure that all students, irrespective of their social or financial background, should thrive and share our passion to 'Endeavour Forever'.
The government allocates additional money to our school called 'Pupil Premium' to help us improve the outcomes for students who are in the care of the local authority, known to be currently eligible for free school meals or have been in the last 6 years. We use this funding as effectively as possible to improve the achievement of all students who may be disadvantaged.

PPG provides funding for two policies:
The pupil premium grant PPG per pupil for 2017 to 2018 is as follows:
|Disadvantaged pupils

|Pupils in year groups reception to year 6 as recorded as Ever 6 FSM
|Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 FSM
|Looked after children (LAC) defined in Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English local authority
|Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order

…world's oldest student?
…old lady?
Well, I might be one or more of the above (*cough*), but I can also clean up pretty okay. Sort of.
I haven't been comfortable in my clothes in a long time, if ever. That's what happens when you have a weird sense of body image, but that's another story for another time.
I like clothes, I really do! I enjoy looking at some snazzy threads, like in the aftermarket stores (Nordstrom's Rack is a fav to browse/drool in), but the fabrics these days drive me mad. I blame it on all the young whipper-snappers who don't mind stretchy material in every form. Nope, I don't need to frighten the world with all my lumpiness.
While I am not wearing mu mu's, T-shirts and yoga pants have been quite high on the fashion list during my um… shall we say, vacation from the 8-5 crowd. I scored a really
nerdy great shirt. Check it out: it has a Dalek sitting in an easy chair doing nothing with a caption that says "Procrastinate!" If you aren't a DW fan, that is lost on you. Sorry. I also got a very nice Totoro shirt as well. But I digress.
Sort of.
Anyway, it's all due to the probing of those darned pixies at the Daily Post, who asked
How important are clothes to you? Describe your style, if you have one, and tell us how appearance impacts how you feel about yourself.
Now, take it back a couple centuries and I would have been sporting the fake Doc Martens (couldn't afford real ones, so I did the combat-boots-from-Army/Navy-store, which I thought were more fabulous anyway) and the ripped whatevers, which always complimented my blue mohawk.
And I'd do it again.
