My Thoughts on Spending Money to Improve my Website.
It is very tempting to spend money to improve how my website looks, functions and feels. Spending money on WordPress themes leads to further customization options, further functionality, better SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and overall a potentially better website. There are things holding me back and this post is about why I'm hesitant.
First off, it's a bit expensive for me currently. As a university student without a job it is difficult to spend money on unessential items or on a whim. Thought must go into everything I buy so I can budget and afford all the important expenditures like bills, rent and food. So to spend money on my website which is a hobby which doesn't need further money to be spent on it at this current stage seems a bit over the top and more of a luxury than a necessity. Especially when themes and plugins I'm looking at would put it above $100 to start with some continuing fees later. Luckily I will be starting a new job soon which could prompt me to rethink this problem, but until then this is the biggest issue.
Another problem is I don't want to spend more money on my website until I've proven to myself it is something worth the money. What I mean by this is I want to have been consistently updating my website for at least a year to prove to myself it is something important to me and worth investing in. Even if the website doesn't ever bring in money it can be a great avenue to promote my work and my services later on when I've graduated university. So a year of proof that the website can be useful, I truly enjoy it and my motivation level is still high is what I'm looking at before going to the next level with my website's look.
So these two issues are my major problems with spending money to improve my website. As it is not entirely necessary to improve my website. Currently there is one plugin that I'd love to upgrade that would further improve mobile functionality and viewing of my images. Still I am being strong and resisting the urge until I'm proven to myself it is worth it and I can properly afford it without making sacrifices elsewhere.
Well these were my thoughts on spending money on my website, until next time.

Disaster resilience
Over the last few years, Pakistan has been the victim of numerous natural disasters that have had a negative impact on the welfare of the country and its people. Effectively countering the long-term effects of disasters, and mitigating their impact is of paramount importance. The UN supports Pakistan to promote resilience by working toward four goals:
- Developing national, provincial and district capacities to prevent, assess, reduce and manage risks
The UN works with national, provincial and district disaster management authorities to ensure that effective risk assessments, hazard mapping, coordination and oversight mechanisms are in place and ready to address the concerns of vulnerable populations. Support is provided to community and individual level contingency planning, and community-based mitigation approaches.
- Vulnerable populations benefit from improved sustainable environmental management practices, including climate change mitigation and adaptation
The UN supports the development of policies and programmes that target both natural resource management and climate change mitigation and are implemented at the national, provincial and community levels. Assistance is provided to key provincial and district level institutions to design and implement natural resource management strategies in environmentally fragile eco-systems.
- Vulnerable populations benefit from risk reduction and response and risk mitigation and are assisted to reach development goals including MDG targets
Comprehensive plans are being developed to provide the most vulnerable populations with reliable, comprehensive information and options to cope with the effects of climate change. In crisis affected communities, the focus is specifically on skills training, entrepreneurship, livelihood opportunities and community infrastructure development.
- Country policies, plans and institutions are enabled and better equipped to manage narcotics trafficking-related challenges
Relevant institutions are being established and a centralized disaggregated database maintained for the exchange of information on critical cross-border issues. Their capacity on integrated border management and assessments is being developed with the support of the UN.

Are You Making These Common Super Errors?
Those that have a good handle on their retirement planning most often tend to be in the minority. But could that be because they've avoided some common super errors? The way to a successful retirement can be fraught with all sorts of pitfalls. And what's worse, many of us fall into these traps because we think we are doing something right for our retirement.
Eliminating Debt
Although many experts have claimed that paying off debt before building retirement savings is a good idea, this may cost a would-be retiree much more in the long term. This is because the majority of the money that will be available to you for retirement will be from the returns earned by saved money. Otherwise known as compound interest, the only thing that can grow it is time, which means that any delay in putting retirement money away can mean you have that much less when the time comes to retire.
Hidden Investing Costs
Although you might be putting your money into investment vehicles, it doesn't mean that there is no cost to do this. Those managing your money will charge you fees for doing so. Looking into how much your investments are costing you can yield many surprises. Thankfully, there are many online resources which can show you just how your investments will affect your retirement savings.
Education vs. Retirement
Many put the education of their children before building their retirement savings. But experts say that while admirable, helping your children through school may not be the smartest financial decision for you. In fact, sacrificing your retirement planning to help your kids can have devastating effects on your golden years. Instead, consider searching for education financing at the lowest rates possible and remember that your children will have plenty of time to pay off any education loans.
Home Loan Management
The mortgage is a big obstacle to many trying to reduce their debt before saving for retirement. The same is true of lines of credit. Again, the longer it takes to eliminate debt, the less there will be for retirement. Taking out a second mortgage or refinancing one can lengthen the time it takes to pay off the loan. But keeping your existing mortgage can mean your home is paid for when you're ready for retirement.
Not Investing In Other Vehicles
There is much evidence to prove that the potential returns on stocks far exceed the returns possible by investing in bonds. And yet, many are afraid to take the leap. This is usually due to the fact that stocks carry with them short-term unpredictability.
Buying a New Vehicle
Although incredibly convenient, vehicle ownership can be very costly when taxes, fuel and insurance are factored in. The same is true if you lease a vehicle. The alternative that can save you thousands is to look for private sales of older, yet reliable vehicle that you can own outright.

Winger Pennant made just two appearances for the Potters last season - both coming in August - and he spent three months of the campaign on loan with Wolves.
Midfielder Whitehead played 30 times for Stoke in 2012-13, but only 12 of those were Premier League starts.
Goalkeeper Carlo Nash, defender Matthew Upson, midfielders Rory Delap and Matthew Lund and striker Mamady Sidibe are the other players the Staffordshire outfit have confirmed are being let go with their contracts at an end.
Stoke have also announced that Dave Kemp, Mark O'Connor, Adrian Pennock, Paul Maxwell, Dave Kevan and Gerry Francis have left their roles on the coaching staff.
Mark Hughes was last month appointed as the new manager at the Britannia Stadium, succeeding Tony Pulis.

May 1, 1995, Section B, Page 11Buy Reprints
Henry C. Rogers, who transformed the seedy world of the Hollywood press agent into a plush-carpet profession, died on Friday at his home in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. Mr. Rogers, who built the Rogers & Cowan public relations firm into an entertainment industry giant, was 82.
The cause of death was a combination of longstanding heart and kidney problems, said his former partner, Warren J. Cowan.
Mr. Rogers, who was credited with making Rita Hayworth a household name and with creating the sweeping publicity campaigns that have become a fixture of the annual quest for Academy Awards, became almost as well known in Hollywood as the famous clients he represented, among them Audrey Hepburn, Kirk Douglas, Shirley MacLaine, Joan Crawford, Rex Harrison and Gary Cooper.
He also had the look of Hollywood success: tall, tanned, silver-haired and always impeccably dressed. "He was the Cary Grant of public relations," Mr. Cowan said.
Mr. Rogers was born in Irvington, N.J., where his father operated a dry goods store. He attended the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania, but when his father's store failed during the Depression, he had to drop out of school, and the family relocated to California.
Mr. Rogers began his career in 1934 as a $5-a-week press agent's office boy. When the job ended, Mr. Rogers, then 21, borrowed $500 from his father to set up his own business in 1935. His first client was a small-time dance team, and his first year's gross was $383.
It was a time when the movie studios maintained huge publicity departments to promote their stars and contract players, so independents like Mr. Rogers had to scrounge for clients among restaurants, nightclubs and peripheral entertainers, often planting frankly fabricated news items with obliging newspaper columnists who accepted them with a wink.
"If I did now what I did then," Mr. Rogers said in 1987, "I'd be barred from every news media outlet."
By 1987, Mr. Rogers who wrote several books of reminiscences, including "Walking the Tightrope" (William Morrow, 1980) and "The One-Hat Solution" (St. Martin's, 1986), was known as the man who elevated industry ethical standards, particularly through his insistence that public relations professionals had as much responsibility to the news media as they did to their clients.
Still, his major personal breakthrough came in 1939, when he put out a story that Rita Hayworth had been named the best dressed off-screen actress by a nonexistent couturier's group. Although Miss Hayworth, then a struggling young actress, could hardly afford the kind of wardrobe such an award implied, editors at Look magazine spotted the published report and commissioned a lavish photo spread that brought her to national attention.
His major contribution to the independent public relations industry came in 1945 when he supervised a publicity blitz that was credited with helping Joan Crawford win the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "Mildred Pierce." He helped accomplish the feat by circulating a self-fulfilling but false rumor that Las Vegas bookmakers had made Miss Crawford the odds-on favorite to win.
Until then, press agents had been barred from studios. Afterward, they were welcome.
Mr. Rogers is survived by his wife, Rosalind; a son, Ron; a daughter, Marcia Ross; two sisters, Lillian Washauer and Estelle Morris, and two grandchildren, all of Los Angeles.

Share Flipboard Email Print October 1961: American civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King (1929 - 1968) arriving at London Airport. He is in England to be the chief speaker at a public meeting about colour prejudice and to appear on the BBC television programme 'Face To Face'. J. Wilds/Getty Images History & Culture African American History The Black Freedom Struggle Major Figures and Events Important Figures Civil Rights Slavery & Abolition Segregation and Jim Crow American History African History Ancient History and Culture Asian History European History Genealogy Inventions Latin American History Medieval & Renaissance History Military History The 20th Century Women's History View More by Lisa Vox Lisa Vox, Ph.D. is a History professor, lecturing at several universities. Her work focuses on African American history, including the Civil Rights Movement. Updated January 31, 2019 On Nov. 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill making Martin Luther King Day a federal holiday, effective Jan. 20, 1986. As a result of this bill, Americans commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday on the third Monday in January, but few Americans are aware of the history of Martin Luther King Day and the long battle to convince Congress to establish this holiday in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. John Conyers and MLK Day Congressman John Conyers, an African-American Democrat from Michigan, spearheaded the movement to establish MLK Day. Rep. Conyers worked in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and was elected to Congress in 1964, where he championed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Four days after King's assassination in 1968, Conyers introduced a bill that would make Jan. 15 a federal holiday in King's honor. But Congress was unmoved by Conyers' entreaties and though he kept reviving the bill, it kept failing in Congress. In 1970, Conyers convinced New York's governor and New York City's mayor to commemorate King's birthday, a move that the city of St. Louis emulated in 1971. Other localities followed, but it was not until the 1980s that Congress acted on Conyers' bill. By this time, the congressman had enlisted the help of popular singer Stevie Wonder, who released the song "Happy Birthday" for King in 1981. Conyers also organized marches in support of the holiday in 1982 and 1983. Congressional Battles Over MLK Day Conyers was finally successful when he reintroduced the bill in 1983. But even in 1983 support was not unanimous. In the House of Representatives, William Dannemeyer, a Republican from California, led the opposition to the bill, arguing that it was too expensive to create a federal holiday and estimating that it would cost the federal government $225 million annually in lost productivity. Reagan's administration concurred with Dannemeyer's arguments, but the House passed the bill with a vote of 338 for and 90 against. When the bill reached the Senate, the arguments opposing the bill were less grounded in economics and more reliant on outright racism. Sen. Jesse Helms, a Democrat from North Carolina, held a filibuster against the bill and demanded the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) make public its files on King, asserting that King was a Communist who did not deserve the honor of a holiday. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had investigated King throughout the late 1950s and 1960s at the behest of its chief, J. Edgar Hoover, and had even tried intimidation tactics against King, sending the civil rights leader a note in 1965 that suggested he kill himself to avoid embarrassing personal revelations hitting the media. King, of course, was not a Communist and had broken no federal laws, but by challenging the status quo, King and the Civil Rights Movement discomfited the Washington establishment. Charges of Communism were a popular way to discredit people who dared speak truth to power during the '50s and '60s, and King's opponents made liberal use of that tactic. When Helms tried to revive that tactic, Reagan defended him. A reporter asked Reagan about the charge of Communist against King, and Reagan said that Americans would find out in around 35 years, referring to the length of time before any material the FBI gathers on a subject could be released. Reagan later apologized, and a federal judge blocked the release of King's FBI files. Conservatives in the Senate tried to change the name of the bill to "National Civil Rights Day" as well, but they failed to do so. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 78 for and 22 against. Reagan capitulated, signing the bill into law. The First MLK Day King's wife, Coretta Scott King, chaired the commission responsible for creating the first celebration of King's birthday in 1986. Though she was disappointed at not receiving more support from Reagan's administration, the result included over a week of commemorations beginning on Jan. 11, 1986, and lasting until the holiday itself on Jan. 20. Events were held in cities like Atlanta and Washington, D.C., and featured a tribute at the Georgia State Capitol and the dedication of a bust of King at the U.S. Capitol. Some Southern states protested the new holiday by including Confederate commemorations on the same day, but by the 1990s the holiday had become established everywhere in the United States. Reagan's proclamation of the holiday on Jan. 18, 1986, explained the reason for the holiday: "This year marks the first observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a national holiday. It is a time for rejoicing and reflecting. We rejoice because, in his short life, Dr. King, by his preaching, his example, and his leadership, helped to move us closer to the ideals on which America was founded... He challenged us to make real the promise of America as a land of freedom, equality, opportunity, and brotherhood." It required a long 15-year fight, but Conyers and his supporters successfully won King national recognition for his service to country and humanity. Sources: Campbell, Bebe Moore.

The ground heals me. The pebbles talk
to my feet, don't ignore us! The broken
glass keeps me awake, reminding.
I remember rougher ground, walk-
ing on sharper pebbles. The unspoken
brilliance of the jeweled blood left by
the broken glass. The old ground, grinding
the pebbles slowly to round, binding
my feet to dance over broken glass, no reason why.

Entry requirements in Laos
Unless you hold a passport from Japan or one of the ASEAN member states, you'll need a visa to enter Laos. The good news is that you probably won't need to arrange it in advance; thirty-day visas are now available on arrival at most international borders. Note that all visitors must hold a passport that is valid for at least six months from the time of entry into Laos.
Continue reading to find out more about...
Visas on arrival take just a few minutes to process, cost around $35, and are available to passengers flying into Luang Prabang Airport, Pakse Airport and Wattay Airport in Vientiane. Those travelling to Laos from Thailand can pick up visas on arrival at any of the border crossings open to foreign tourists, as can those entering from certain places in Vietnam (Nam Khan, Bo Y, Tay Trang, Cau Treo and Lao Bao) and China (Mo Han). Only US dollars are accepted as payment and a passport-sized photo is required. If you forget the photo, border officials will usually turn a blind eye for an extra $1. Note that passport holders from a number of countries, including Pakistan, Turkey and Zambia, are not eligible for visas on arrival and must obtain one in advance – for a comprehensive list see wtinyurl.com/3ykrvyy. To cross into Laos from all other points, including Cha Lo in Vietnam, you'll need to arrange a visa before arriving at the border. Like visas on arrival, pre-arranged tourist visas allow for a stay of up to thirty days. Prices are generally a little higher though – especially if you pay a tour operator to help you out – so avoid buying one unless your border crossing demands it. If it does, visas can be obtained directly from Lao embassies and consulates. At the Lao embassy in Bangkok, thirty-day visas cost 1,400 baht for nationals of the UK, US and Ireland, 1,200 baht for those from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and 1,680 baht for Canadians. You'll need to take two passport-sized photos with you but, provided you apply before noon, processing can usually be done on the same day. Advance visas can also be obtained at the Lao consulate in Khon Kaen, in the northeast of Thailand, or through one of the many travel agents concentrated on or around Khao San Road. However, prices (and processing fees) can vary wildly. Wherever you choose to get your visa, bear in mind that Lao visa regulations and prices are subject to frequent change.
The Lao embassy in Hanoi, and consulates in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, can also issue visas but it's important to note that the prices charged vary from place to place, and the regulations and conditions change frequently. Lao visas issued in Vietnam are also significantly more expensive than those issued in Thailand.
Extending visas
Visa extensions are fairly easy to obtain, but you'll need to plan ahead if you want to avoid overstaying your visa (there's currently a $10 penalty for each extra day you spend in the country). The cheapest option is to visit the immigration office on Hatsady Road in Vientiane before your visa expires. Here, visa extensions are issued at the cost of $2 per day and the maximum length of extension is fifteen days. Alternatively you could leave the country and enter again (which might work out cheaper if you're planning to extend by twenty days or more) or pay a local travel agent to arrange the visa extension for you. Generally this is more expensive, with most vendors charging around $4 per extra day required. Thirty-day business visas that have the potential to be extended can also be arranged in advance at the Lao embassies and consulates listed below.

This cause marketing movement really intrigues me. Not because its an upcoming trend, not because its revolutionizing the industry nor is it because it stirs up really cool campaigns.
Its because I believe cause marketing has always existed in some form or another. And we as marketers, who at times have been accused and figuratively lynched by the masses for exploiting our power and influence to foment decadence in society, now have a cure for the common mob. Marketers now exploit our power and influence for good! Here goes...
On Monday, Pepsi launched its 'Refresh Project' a viral campaign that is destined to set the industry benchmark aflame. I like to think of it as a savvy response to the angry mobs all over the world. With time this bold move will most likely become the tip of an iceberg, a response to stun and astound the angry mobs.
Case-in-point: "In 2009, Pepsi launched the Refresh campaign, celebrating optimism and its role in our changing world. This year, Pepsi is putting that optimism into action, with the the launch of the Pepsi Refresh Project. Over the course of the year Pepsi will be awarding millions of dollars in Pepsi Refresh Grants. Rather than simply donating the money to charity, the Refresh Project promises to connect to consumers on a personal level, increasing their involvement with the brand by letting them decide which projects to fund... It's a refreshing way of doing business..." (Ads of the World, 02/10)
Refreshing way indeed! Check out the ad below to catch a glimpse of this brilliant campaign.
Awesome campaign - I will say no more... moving along -> I was a fan of Nokia until I lost one, broke another and then two broken Blackberry phones later I'm posting about how great it is to see Nokia ramping up their advertising. Did you guys know Nokia has a Chief Trends Officer who travels the world looking for the newest trends in gadgetry? (don't quote me on the CTO title though)
Look forward to your comments!
'til next time!'

Continue Discontinue/ Trying to leave the room and enter the collective
It feels as though I'm sinking deeper into the subtleties of this practice, and it's becoming more personal. The closest I've come to escaping the room has been through imaginary portals, and the construction of another self as I can see it reflected on every surface I look at, or look through, including other people. A soft projection metaphor. What I imagine my other self to be is shapeless, shifting, and ungraspable. What is useful to me is not trying to inscribe this entity, or define its qualities, but engage in whatever might exist beyond its qualities. Vibe, magic, affect, sense. What is useful to me is developing a methodology that produces imagination; that stimulates phantasy-making. A space that produces alternatives when activated by human engagement. A space of utopian consciousness, that has nothing to do with reacting to the world as we know it, or anything anthropocentric, but to sensing the world as we can't know it. By mining the gaps in our perceptive faculties, we might glimpse an impossible periphery. A focal point that disappears as soon as we focus on it. Something at an immeasurable distance, much too close to see. This is not a fictional body, or the body re-constructed, this is a dis-engagement of the senses towards an unfamiliar body, an unfamiliar worldview that doesn't pan out to see more, but turns in on itself, implodes, and remembers the body as the first site of resistance, the first site of communication, and as a fully inhabited, painfully empathetic space that can't escape its own authenticity.
What to do with this body, these limbs, this brain, a left and right eye? How can a territory of sensuous experience become material? How can this material be accessed by all participants in the performance engagement? Start with a safe space, a located space, the familiar, the calm, the centre. Start with self-perception exercises/modes/methods that reveal the self to the self, and then dial outwards. Start with a solo, and let its striations reach outwards to the collective. Allow platforms for future collective engagement emerge from the solo practice.
This is not an escape, but an expedition into lines of disappearance, of duality, of motion sickness, of forgetting language, memory, trauma, ability, and ambition. It is total present, and the more present it becomes, the less 'present' has any conventional meaning.
Peripheral Conversations (bypassing language, entering projection) aka Listening
Two participants are handed a pen and paper.
They are instructed to have a silent conversation, and write down responses to the other person on his/her paper.
This paper may be kept private or shared. Agree on this beforehand.
From Peripheral Conversations, Oct. 3, 2014
1) It can be turned into an interview, whereby one person only asks questions, and the other only answers. Then switch roles.
2) The linearity of language becomes skewed through writing. Writing becomes differently coherent as it soaks up body information.
3) Is it ethically problematic to have this conversation with unknowing participants? (I tried it on the way home on the streetcar. It felt a bit too invasive, but I liked wondering what my interviewees were doing, where they might be going, what their hopes for the future might be. Maybe this last question is the one that really matters)
4) This exercise is perhaps a response to one's projection of him/herself onto the other, and a response to collectively experienced events within the conversation space. Common themes emerge however, so there may be some synchronicity going on as we read into each other's vibe.
From Discrepancies Between Left and Right (aka The Line of Disappearance) Sept. 18, 2014
Stare at an object.
One that's no wider than the distance between your eyes.
Focus your eyes on that object.
Approach the object until your focus becomes blurry, wide, and split.
Slowly reach your hand behind the object, until your fingers appear on the other side.
Notice parts of your hand disappear, while the whole sensation of your hand remains.
From Peripheral Mapping, Oct. 8, 2014
Enter any physical space, indoors or outdoors.
Look at an object in the space.
Focus on that object.
Slowly allow our focus to soften and widen.
Select something in your peripheral vision and move towards it.
Focus on this new something as you gain proximity.
Stop moving when your focus becomes clear.
Repeat until you feel like you understand the space.
Draw a map from memory.
From Exiting/Re-Existing Movement Meditation, Oct. 10, 2014
From Walking on the Ceiling (outsourcing sensation through the virtual) Sept. 17, 2014
Locate a mirror bigger than the size of both your feet.
Hold the mirror in front of you, reflective side up, and peer into it.
Angle the mirror so you can see the ceiling, but not see a reflection of your own face.
Slowly walk around the room. Be cautious on stairs.
From Prefixes as Navigation
Is it possible to start with conceptualizing a change, or a modification, before whatever action it is attempting to modify can be identified?
A dance/body proposal:
Generate a list of prefixes using any means available (memory, internet)
Engage in cathartic improvised movement of any kind, keeping in mind one of the prefixes from your list.
(You may use music, alcohol, heavy breathing, shaking, youtube, or any other influence that might help initiate cathartic movement.)
Allow this prefix to inform your movement.
As you move, keep an external eye on yourself.
As soon as you can identify an action, give it a name, and write it beside the prefix from your list.
Continue exploring the shades of this action, and its modification.
Pick a new prefix and continue.
See video clip examples:
(04:52 Pivot/Trans:pivot)
(07:30 Continue/ Dis:continue)
(09:25 Plant/ Re:plant)
Other prefixes that have emerged:
Thrust/ Sub:thrust
Magnetize/ Anti:magnetize
Symetricize/ Inter:symetricize
Throw/ Pre:throw
Pause/ Semi:pause
Whirl/ Un:whirl
Spcify/ Un:specify
Try/ De:try
Video Trial, October 15, 2014
A collection of movement ideas, set to audio excerpts from Exiting/Re:existing
Movement explorations include: using the camera to capture the dancer's perspective and her peripheral vision, the line of disappearance, interrupting habitual perception, stillness as accident, thrusting from vague points of leadership, prefixes, surveillance/projection/the eye, and rough ideas on presenting some of these ideas using video.

- Boxwood Companion Cremation Urn in Walnut Wood
Product Description
Crafted in the USA from premium Walnut lumber, the Boxwood Companion Cremation Urn is designed to hold the remains of two individuals. A study in modest yet refined simplicity, this Walnut wood memorial is our premier combination of artistry and affordability in companion urns. The shape, a soft-edged rectangular box, is adorned with well-placed etched lines which leave the beautiful wood grain uncluttered and free from distractions.
To personalize this urn, we can engrave any text, such as names, dates, and brief inscription, into the surface of the wood on the top or front of the box. Select options above. For ideas on how to compose inscriptions on companion urns, see here.
Additionally, you can choose to add one or more smaller "keepsake urns" in the same elegant Boxwood urn design. These small keepsakes are ideal when the remains are shared among family members. Each Boxwood keepsake urn is made from the same authentic Walnut wood with etched decorative lines and holds up to 55 cubic inches of ashes.

Q: How do the remains get into the urn?
A: Each of our wood urns has a bottom panel which is easily removed using a standard screwdriver. Flip the urn upside-down, unscrew the four screws holding in the panel, then remove the bottom panel. The box will be open on the inside. Place the plastic bag(s) holding the ashes into the urn and secure the bottom panel back into place. Here is a brief video demonstration:
Q: Are the couple's remains supposed to be commingled?
A: It's completely up to the family. Some couples or families prefer the symbolism of commingling, while others are satisfied with the remains separate (which preserves their individuality) yet combined within the companion urn (which displays their unity). If you choose to commingle, pour the remains together into a single plastic bag and place the bag containing the commingled remains into the urn. Otherwise, place each bag side by side into the urn and re-affix the base as described above.
Q: I'm new to this idea of "companion urns" and would like more information. Where can I learn more?
A: You can always call us (877-900-5309) and our knowledgeable staff will help you in any way possible. We also have our comprehensive Complete Guide to Companion Urns available, in which you will find all the info on companion urns in one detailed article.
Q: What are the sharing keepsake urns available along with this companion urn?
A: A sharing keepsake urn is just a smaller urn, but it is intended for use when "sharing" the ashes among family members. Usually, keepsake urns are crafted to look just like the "main" urn. Some families will divide the remains equally, while others choose to use an urn such as the Boxwood for the majority of the couple's remains, then share just a small token amount of ashes among family members. It's completely up to you how you would like to arrange the final disposition, which is why we have designed the Boxwood Cremation Urn package so that you can easily divide the remains into portions as you see fit, or just choose the standard companion urn.

Question asked by Sandy Todd Webster 3123 days ago
Why Did You Decide To Pursue A Master's Degree? How Did You Manage Both Going To School And Working?
Answers (14)
Answered by Kenneth Baldwin 3123 days ago
Should I get a master's degree? I strongly debated this question at the time with friends, colleagues and members of my advisory board. I had already developed a good personal training client base and was happy with how other areas of the business were going. Through my conversations with my board members and others, I looked at my long-term goals of writing textbooks, lecturing, teaching and making the occupation of personal training more professional. I realized that to be recognized as a professional I would need to get a master's degree. During my master's program, I reduced my workload of personal training clients to accommodate my classes. I still averaged 15 personal training sessions per week and managed the overall operations of the company. One of my key employees, Susan O'Grady, took over the hiring and education of new employees, as well as some other management duties. She was very supportive of my choice to go back to school, and I would not have been able to go in this direction without her. I firmly believe that my degree has opened up more professional opportunities. I have been able to present and lecture nationally/internationally and been given the opportunity to develop, coordinate and teach the San Diego State University Professional Certificate in Personal Fitness Training. I am also the assistant director at Purdue University's fitness/ research area and am pursuing my doctorate. My long-term goals have not shifted, but I have defined them more by focusing on the development of education and standards for personal trainers through collaborative efforts with professional organizations and colleges and universities around the country.
I decided to get a master's degree because I was considering a career in medicine and thought a master's would help my chances of getting into a good medical school in Canada. I received my master's degree from the University of Toronto and did my thesis research at, and for, the Department of National Defense. During my master's work, I saw clients from 6:00 to 8:00 am, went to school from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, saw clients from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and trained myself at 8:30 pm. Every third weekend I traveled as a spokesperson for a large company and presented at conferences and trade shows. I almost had a nervous breakdown! Why did I ultimately decide not to go to med school? I love training. I can wear whatever I want, work whenever I want, choose who I work with and learn all the aspects of fitness rather than just focusing on one specific part of medicine. I have two offices in Toronto, one in Los Angeles (where I am most of the time) and a mobile gym in Vancouver. My business caters to the film industry, and we specialize in getting actors in top shape for film and TV projects.
I received my bachelor's degree in exercise physiology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1990. At this point it wasn't clear where exercise physiology was headed. I had tried to find a position in a nearby hospital's cardiac rehab department, but, at the time, this was still a position only for RNs. Then I searched for a position in exercise and ended up as a personal trainer in the summer of 1990 at Sports Connection in Costa Mesa, California. At this time the field of personal training was very young. However, as I worked more closely with program design and implementation I was fascinated by the capability of the human machine. I wanted a more in-depth understanding of how and why the body works the way it does. I entered my master's program in 1992 and continued to conduct about 20-24 training sessions per week. I attended school part-time and took classes in the evening. On weekends I did my research. In 1994 I had to take a year off due to a serious injury. This break only made my studies more important. I realized that if I could not depend on my body, I wanted to further my knowledge about the workings of the human machine in order to share that knowledge with more people, whether as a trainer or a teacher. With diligent rehab and the use of a personal trainer, I discovered that the body truly wants to work the way it is supposed to. Having a more in-depth understanding of the body helped me fully recover, and I could better share information with clients and trainers. The personal training industry was taking off around this time. When I was about to complete my degree in 1998, I considered the possibility of teaching at a university. However, during my oral exams a professor asked what I was thinking of doing next. When I told him what I did currently and how much I made, he said, "Wow, that's about what we make." At that point I realized that personal training was becoming a viable career. I had worked for myself for over 7 years and wanted to pursue more opportunities in training. My business continued to flourish to a $100,000 career, at which point I decided to open my own facility (with a partner). Pursuing my master's degree and staying current with continuing education keeps my passion alive and has helped me retain clients for 10 to 14 years.
I decided to pursue my master's degree in exercise physiology because, at the time, I was working as an independent fitness instructor. Knowing I wanted to continue with a career in fitness, I realized I would need more knowledge and experience (other than teaching fitness classes) in order to work in a variety of settings. While I was not certain where I would apply my education, I knew an advanced degree would open far more doors and give me the academic grounding and credentials I could leverage for years to come. I continued to work as a part-time fitness instructor while in graduate school. Much of my time was spent in the exercise physiology lab getting practical experience, as well as in the library doing research and writing papers. When I graduated with my master's from the University of Southern California in 1986, employment opportunities centered on corporate fitness, cardiac rehabilitation or research-related positions. At the time, I had no intention of becoming a personal trainer; the industry was not as defined as it is today. My first job out of graduate school was program director for the Pritikin program. I managed the program's nutrition, exercise and medical aspects. Since then I have enjoyed a variety of employment opportunities. For example I owned and operated a fitness consulting business, conducting fitness testing, cholesterol testing, lectures and seminars in many corporate and civic settings. My most recent position as an employee was as a clinical exercise physiologist for the Pasadena Rehabilitation Institute. I gained valuable clinical experience working with physical therapists, physicians and psychologists in an outpatient rehabilitation setting. However, my years as an independent contractor made me long for a position with a flexible schedule. After taking a few years off, I re- entered the workforce to find that the personal training industry had grown significantly. Fortunately, I found a position where I can use my knowledge and expertise with my client base while maintaining a flexible work schedule.
I knew early on that I wanted to get my master's. My theory was that the fitness industry was quickly evolving to a point wherein an advanced degree would be a requirement to advance in your career. I also wanted to gain as much knowledge in exercise physiology as possible and I thought the master's could give me that opportunity. I knew that I wanted to work with a variety of clients, from athletes to those with chronic diseases, so I wanted to learn as much as possible about these populations under professional guidance. During my master's work, I scheduled work around school. I went straight from undergraduate to graduate school without a break. I was also fortunate enough to get a graduate assistantship, which paid for school and helped me gain experience teaching groups and testing individuals while I still trained.
Answered by Joanne Duncan-Carnesciali 3045 days ago
I was hungry to learn more about my industry. I also recognized that education give you a measure of freeness of speech. It also give you access resources that one may not readily be aware of. One of the other reasons I decided to pursue my masters is because of a former English professor at my junior college. We had to write a sample essay on a random topic so that she could assess our writing ability and make sure that the papers we handed in were indeed ours. After I received my essay back she said to me, "You will go on to earn your masters degree, I am sure of it." I don't know whether I would have pursued it if she didn't say that, however, I never forgot her statement. When I earned my Masters degree, I went back to my junior college and told her that she was right.
As far as how did I manage to work and go to school and be a mom and wife: being very organized and having great cooperation from my family.

I think higher education is so important in so many different fields especially since the Bachelors Degree is more popular than ever! It gives you an extra edge and ups your credibility. I was able to work full time and get my Masters Degree in Psychology because I completed a "Distance Learning" program at Saybrook Graduate School. This was nice because I did most of my school work from home and attended the conferences every few months in the form of 1 week intensives.
Best of luck to you!
Best of luck to you!
I am not working on my masters yet, but I have no doubt that I will once I am through with my B.S. It just seems like a natural progression. I feel like a Bachelors is just like a general education in a field and the masters sets you apart, I don't want to be a general trainer. If it weren't for online classes I would not be able to do what I am doing. It is hard, especially this year as I have a new daughter (6 wks old and a month early) and I am the only one working. Both of us parents are going to school full time and I am working full time....anything is possible with a little determination and sacrifice.
I find this particularly interesting.
I do want to obtain a masters or doctorate, but it appears that you can really price yourself at any level even with a personal trainer certification. Its all on how you sell yourself.
Unless you want to go into physical therapy a masters seems to be a little overkill, but if you can get into something and get enough clients, a masters does sound like a good way to move up a food chain, especially in a hospital setting if you can break into it.

My masters degrees aren't in fitness, but the decision point was when I wanted to switch careers. I had a scholarship which covered tuition, so I only had to work part time to pay my way through grad school. 11 - 14 fitness classes a week was just right for paying the bills.
Answered by Harris Sophocleous 1338 days ago
I wanted to get a more focused and specialized training and education beyond my undergraduate degree. I also made time to work part time at a local Y for extra income.
I want to become a writer at my family company- https://meowessay.com/ and I need Master's Degree for it and now I had to work part time to pay my bills. Near 10 classes of fitness a week was just right for paying the my bills. For Manage your education and part time work read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work80%93life_balance. I think it will be usefull to read
Do you need to write a good persuasive essay? Navigate here https://persuasivepapers.com/ and you will know how!
I think learning English is quite important because now it's hard to live without it. I am a student at the University and it is quite difficult because you have to face many things. Our professors are quite strict and ask a lot of written work, but since I'm not very good, I just order assignment online using this platform https://paperial.com/buy-assignment and keep getting excellent marks.

Some things are best judged if they aren't regarded in isolation.
A film advertisement, for instance, once boldly trumpeted, "An endearing romantic comedy" across a page, and attributed the seeming high praise to a movie review in a newspaper.
The review actually read, "political propaganda wrapped into an endearing romantic comedy that starts losing its laughs," but that was conveniently left out of the ad.
Investing data can also be misleading, if you are viewing only out-of-context facts.
If a company reports a jump in revenue growth, an experienced investor will ask two questions: Is the company slashing prices to step up sales growth? Did the company make an acquisition that's boosting sales?
Sales growth from an acquisition can be positive, especially if the acquisition is adding a higher-margin business.
But sales growth driven by lower prices suggests the company's products are seeing weaker demand or that the products are being commoditized.
Many products start out being high-margin items. But as more competitors emerge, they become lower-margin products. You want to catch a stock on the right end of that trend.
So, when an investor notices an increase in sales, the first thing to check is IBD's SMR Rating, which stands for sales, margins and return on equity.
IBD combines those three elements into one rating because they are interrelated. You can find the ratings in the stock tables in the B section. The rating is also listed at Investors.com in the stock quotes area and in Stock Checkup, and on the MarketSmith charts.
The SMR rating's scale runs from A to E, with A being the best.
Generally, you should avoid buying stocks with an SMR rating of D or E.
Sometimes a turnaround candidate will have a C rating, but most top-rated stocks carry an A or B.
The gauge is useful because sales growth built on low margins will hurt the SMR Rating. Return on equity is relevant because it measures how efficiently a company is using its net assets to make a profit.
After the Dec. 20 follow-through day confirmed an uptrend was under way, the market remained in the uptrend for 67 sessions.
In the first month after the follow-through, a number of quality stocks cleared buy points. Some of those entries were triggered by breakouts from bases and others from three-weeks-tight patterns. One was a short-stroke pattern.
See the accompanying table that lists gains after clearing the buy point and the stock's SMR rating at the time of the breakout.

Set in South London at the start of the '80s, a time when reggae music was at its peak and racism was rife, we follow Blue, the lead singer for Ital Lion Sound, in the run-up to a Sound System competition. Over the course of the story we see Blue clash, not only with the police and racists, but also family and friends as his anger and frustration finally becomes too much to suppress. A powerful and gritty drama with, as you'd expect, a blinding soundtrack.

In the shared courtyard of a house in Mali's capital, two interlocking trials take place, one describes the disintegration of a couple's marriage, the other the inept and deceitful policies of the World Bank and the IMF; but as pleas for common sense and decency swirl through the building, the simple necessity of life continues to dominate the communal courtyard. Both a beautifully observed drama and a keenly knowing satire, Bamako is an eminently watchable piece of modern African cinema.
