Haven't been on here in over a year. :/ I'm not sure how many of the people who went on here when I did have left or not, but nonetheless I wanted to see how everyone's doing. :) Posted over a year ago

Do we ask? Generally, no; we jump in with both feet – flesh and all.
Quite frankly, most of what I blog about relates to me, personally, whether you'd think so or not. I uncover my flesh for the entire world to see. In my own way, I guess, I'm creating my own version of intimacy with you all. If you've read many of my posts, you know my favorite definition of the word intimacy is: in-to-me-see. Bluntly put, I'm allowing you to see into me, whether you reciprocate or not.
I'm not cloaked with a heavy mantle, I sit here wrapped in cellophane (pink please). If you look back over my posts you'll see a picture of how I'm growing in Christ. I'm not light years ahead of the game. I may be right beside you, perhaps one step ahead or a whole block or two behind.
We all take certain steps faster than others and we all come up against those steps that stir up great hesitation. It's not a race. I rejoice that we're walking together in The Way!
|(photo mine)
We're not quite as self-centered as we used to be.
We're not quite as controlling.
We're not quite as arrogant.
We're not quite as mean.
We're a little more loving.
We're a little more giving.
We're a little more patient.
We're a little more faithful.
We pray. We get into God's Word more often and more diligently, more intently and with greater understanding.
Yet, we can be caught dragging our feet. Me? Sometimes I trip on them, yes – both of them!
Do we ask? Do I ask? Not always. Why? Grrrr…..
Too often I want to jump in and fix things or give my incredible words of wise instruction before even asking what God wants done in a given situation. I presume to know what God's doing in everyone else's life….. (Surely I'm not alone in this, right?)
Praise God that "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!" (Romans 8:1)
|(photo mine)
I need to be asking what God wants of me, every single time; nothing more and nothing less. More from me won't make things better, I might be intruding on what God's trying to do in the lives of others.
Sometimes God wants others to step up. If I was a millionaire and every time a need arose in the lives around me, and I met that need, no one else in my circle would learn to give. They'd get mighty good at the receiving part, though.
Sometimes the words I speak into a situation are the last things the person in need wants to hear. God knows their frame of mind and what they need to hear and when; I do not always know that. As a matter of fact, in and of myself, I probably never know that.
Whether it's words or actions required on my part, I need God's instruction before I open my mouth.
Eventually, we'll come to a place in Christ where we'll hear His voice even before our own. But, the God kind of self-control and humility must come into play. If we allow the Holy Spirit of God to live inside of us, we need to recognize that He's not a decoration on the walls of our heart. He needs to be granted our permission to speak and move through us!

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
Fruit is cultivated; it doesn't just spontaneously appear on the vine or tree. Praise God we are planted in His royal garden, where He cultivates His fruit according to His plans and purposes in us – making us more and more like Him every day.

Thank you for voting Belle Arte String Quartet the Best in Richmond for the 2015 season! Richmond Bride magazine published their annual A-List of wedding vendors, and Belle Arte String Quartet scored the Best String Quartet!
"Best String Quartet: Belle Arte Quartet — All quartet members are seasoned professionals, serving as either full- or part-time performers with the Richmond Symphony. Just because it's a classic quartet doesn't mean your music has to be classical. 'If you can name it, we can do it,' says Nancy Norris, the contractor for the group." –Richmond Bride, June 2015
Thank you to everyone who voted and believes in the beautiful music that Belle Arte String Quartet brings to weddings!

Cal/OSHA Releases Revised Workplace Violence Prevention Regulations
Delayed effective dates, computer-based learning and other good news for hospitals
On Aug. 2, Cal/OSHA released the attached revision of its proposed health care workplace violence prevention regulations. Comments on the revisions are due Aug. 17. CHA will convene its health care workplace violence prevention workgroup to develop a comment letter, and individual hospitals may submit comments to CHA for incorporation into its letter, or may submit comments to Cal/OSHA directly.
While CHA continues to have concerns about the proposed regulations, several significant changes were made, consistent with CHA's previous comments:
- While the obligation to maintain a violent incident log and comply with record keeping obligations will be required as of the regulations' effective date, employers will have an additional year to comply with the remaining obligations (plan development, assessment and correction of current hazards and training).
- Training may be tailored to address the workplace violence risks that employees are reasonably anticipated to encounter in their jobs.
- Employers will be able to utilize computer-based learning for initial and refresher training so long as it 1) covers all of the required elements and 2) employees are able to submit questions and, within 24 hours, receive a response from a person knowledgeable about the employer's workplace violence prevention plan.
- The employer will complete all aspects of the Violent Incident Log based on information solicited from the employee, rather than having the employee complete some portions.
- Hospitals must report workplace violence incidents within 24 hours when 1) the incident involves a fatality or injury that requires inpatient hospitalization for more than 24 hours; or 2) there is an urgent or emergent threat that involves 911 assistance from law enforcement. All other reportable incidents must be reported within 72 hours.
As noted in Monday's CHA News article, Cal/OSHA Standards Board staff reported that Cal/OSHA is working toward having the final regulations heard at the Sept. 15 board meeting in Sacramento. Though this might be considered an aggressive timeline, Cal/OSHA must finalize the regulations by October or it will be required to start the process anew. The final regulations could be heard as late as the Oct. 20 board meeting. If finalized by the end of October, the regulations would likely go into effect Jan. 1, 2017.
Once the regulations are final, CHA's Education Department will publish a Health Care Workplace Violence Prevention Regulation Guidebook and will offer a members-only webinar.

First Serious Trip Of The Year
Anna Werner replied to Anna Werner's topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoTook me a minute to get that one. Terrific.
First Serious Trip Of The Year
Anna Werner replied to Anna Werner's topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoAnd you want to know the biggest irony of it all? After dealing with a DRUNK, where do we go to drown our sorrows? . . . The local BAR, of course.
First Serious Trip Of The Year
Anna Werner posted a topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoSo, Dad and I heard that MORE rotten weather was on the way, but the day was gorgeous, so we figured we had better make best of it while we had a chance! We had a spot in mind that we'd heard had been producing amazingly, but, just before arriving there, we took a detour to check out a spot that Dad had fished years ago, but that I'd never seen. It looked AMAZING: out in the country, right on the river, cattails, a BIG marshy backwash, easy-access, grassy, flat ground, not too overgrown, PLENTY of space, no mud to wade through (kind of amazing after all of the rain we've had!), etc., etc. We thought we'd both died and gone to heaven! We could even see Carp rolling and wallowing and love-making in the backwash! It was exciting! So, we set up, but didn't get any hits. This was the story of the day; no Carp hits on ANY of the multiple baits we tried (Only one White Sucker was caught all day between us.), and I had a headache that NOTHING would get rid of. I think the headache stayed, though, in large part because of the third, and WORST componet of the day: the Drunk. OK, so we're out in freaking farm country, and this guy shows up on a BIKE, already drunk on arrival, but we didn't think much of it. He sat down under a tree a few feet behind us and just sort of hung out. Didn't bother us for a while. No big deal. But he was smoking, and it wasn't tobacco. In addition, he was drinking out of a big bottle of orange soda. Judjing by his increasing obnoxiousness, the soda had to have been spiked. So the guy started trying to talk with us more and more, when, of course, we just wanted QUIET. As time went on, he started talking more and more total nonsense, and started talking to himself, rather than to us. Pretty soon, his speech got slurred, and louder and louder. I finally had enough and told Dad we had to get going. He wanted to go to the other spot we'd originally planned to go to, but my headache was as bad as ever (Pain-killers hadn't worked.), and it was already rather late in the day. I didn't feel up to packing a carload of gear up, then unpacking it again, fishing a few hours, then packing it all up again, THEN unpacking it AGAIN when we got back home. All I wanted to do was to get food, get home, unpack, and crash at that point. I could have dealt with a blnk day, and even the headache might have gone away if I could have fallen asleep, without dingbat prattering away behind us. I could not BELIEVE that our first trip out, at one of the best spots we've ever found, on the ONLY fair-weather day we've had for a MONTH when we've both been free, had to be ruined by an idiot! I'm STILL steamed!
Hi Anna, how are you? Would you still have any of the Top Mix stuff where you work? I think that I got some Tiger Nut MM from you. I am looking for some Tiger Nut flavoring and pellets.
Carpers Catchng Chromers
Anna Werner replied to ctcarper's topic in Other Species StoriesBrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Beautiful fish and winter scenerey, though! And [GASP] I see SHALE BEDS in the background! Where's my rock hammer!
2nd Cammack Lake Fish-in
Anna Werner replied to redpeachpackbait's topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoBrrrrrrrrrrr . . . Great fish! Love the little sucker!
Who Learned What This Year ?
Anna Werner replied to teoCarp's topic in Beginning CarpingI learned three things this year: One CAN work a fish out of a nasty snag using monofilament line, if it's good-quality line and the angler has patience. There is NOTHING in the world more FUN than sight-fishing Carp under a float using a SPECIAL, lightweight rod and reel!!! Kids will always, ALWAYS outfish us grown-ups!
Who would you like to fish with from CAG - that you do not know
Anna Werner replied to cubzzz's topic in Beginning CarpingHard to say. Fishing with nearly any CAGers would be terrific, but it would be particular pleasure for me to fish with: 1) any female anglers (There aren't nearly as many of us, and girls got to stick together, you know . . . ) 2) any anglers from Asia, Eastern Europe, or anywhere else where the techniques can be significantly different than standard "Euro" or American methods. I'd love to learn from these people. 3) the younger set. Young anglers are our future, so fishing with them is an opportunity to both teach AND learn. Some of the junior Carpers I've met have more enthusiasm and insight than a lot of the adult anglers I've known.
A week of Memories captured for ever......
Anna Werner replied to Willem (JD)'s topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoGreat stuff, JD!! Aaaah, 2 1/2 is old enough! Give him a cane pole and a load of hungry dinks, and he'll be hooked for life!
random story
Anna Werner replied to Anna Werner's topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoWow! What a PIG! Poor kid; I bet that messed him up for life. I fished a Chub out of our minnow tank the other day that still had the tail of either another Chub or a huge Fathead hanging out of its mouth. The customer's jaw really dropped over that!
17hr on the bank
Anna Werner replied to redpeachpackbait's topic in Pictures, Stories & VideoOh, man, I know the feeling. I did 11 hrs straight without a hit once, and I wasn't out early enough to see the sun rise. Hey, at least you came out with a couple of cool pics. Better luck next time.
Types of carp fishing
Anna Werner replied to barbelfloat's topic in Beginning CarpingBeautiful little Mirror! That's the sort of fish I like to stalk with an ultralight rig or a split bamboo, a can of corn, and a little box of redworms. Once, on a trip to Chicago, I caught two Commons about that size, one after the other, an a teeny little 1940s spinning reel with no anti-reverse, using redworms. Never had so much fun!!! People were slowing down on the bridge above to ask what I'd caught. It was terrific! I don't keep a journal, though, at the beginning of each Spring, I often decide to start one, then it never really materializes. Dumb, really, because I'm sure I could catch more fish (not terribly concerned yet about bigger fish) if I did a better job of keeping track of structure, weather conditions, wind direction, changes in food base, etc. I suppose I'm just not serious enough.

Becker Records 19 Kills In Losing Effort as Owls Fall to Park
FULTON, MO -- In front of a raucous home crowd, the William Woods University volleyball team battled Park University on Tuesday night. Despite seeing Emily Becker lead all players in the match with 19 kills, the Owls couldn't pull off the comeback as they fell 1-3 (26-28, 23-25, 25-20, 21-25) on the evening. Amanda Henley spearheaded another stout defensive performance, posting 18 digs in the match.
WWU fell behind early in the first set, giving up three straight points to Park and eventually trailing 8-13, but the Owls clawed back to take a 21-20 lead after a Becker serve drilled the tape and trickled over for the ace.
The Pirates responded with a 3-1 run, however, and eventually closed out the first set at 26-28.
The Owls jumped out to an early 11-5 lead in set two, but couldn't hang on for the set win, falling 23-25 to drop to 0-2 in the match.
A switch in the lineup from head coach Monica Herschelman didn't look to have immediate impact, as the Owls fell behind 1-3 early in the third set, but a 13-6 run forced Park to burn both timeouts as the Owls settled comfortably into a 14-9 lead. A four-point run from Park at 24-16 put a slight scare into the Owls, but a WWU timeout settled the squad and Lauren Rodewald closed out the set with a kill for the 25-20 win.
WWU came out strong in the final set as well, leading 13-10 at the midway point, but Park was able to put together a pair of three-point spurts to capture the lead and eventually take the match.
William Woods falls to 4-11 on the year and 1-1 in league play. In addition to Henley's 18, Emily Nolte posted 11 digs in the match. As a team, the Owls hit at a .219 clip, to a .263 mark for the Pirates, with Emma Aschenbrenner posting the best attacking percentage for WWU at .348. The freshman had 10 kills on the night, with Kristen Bauer adding 11.
The Owls return to Anderson Arena on Thursday night, taking on No. 3 Columbia. First serve for the match is set for 7 p.m.

The story begins a little something like this: Two tired parents and their new baby sit in the doctor's office describing a set of symptoms. Non-stop crying, lots of gas, spit-up and burping. The parents can't find a solution; nothing is working, and they need help. So, the doctor does what doctors are doing for babies across the country: Recommending Dr. Brown's baby bottles.
What drives parents, pediatricians, and Dr. Brown's to seek solutions is the same: Helping our little ones. From feeding comfortably to sleeping soundly, we all have the same goal. This is what makes Dr. Brown's the most recommended bottle by pediatricians in the United States.
And it all centers around one small "straw."
That one small straw is actually the reservoir of a powerful internal vent system that's clinically proven to reduce symptoms of colic, like spitting, burping, and gas. The internal vent system works by channeling air away from the liquid contents in the bottle, be that milk or formula, eliminating negative pressure and air bubbles. No air in the milk means no air in baby's belly – and less feeding problems.
It works so well, in a study done on colicky babies in the UK, moms chose Dr. Brown's first to relieve symptoms. And for good reason:
The experts agree. In another survey conducted with healthcare professionals in the UK, Dr. Brown's anti-colic bottle was the number one choice for the relief of colicky symptoms.
But that's not all. The internal vent system doesn't just reduce symptoms of colic and feeding problems; it helps with a whole lot more.
Because the internal vent system eliminates air bubbles in breastmilk and formula, it reduces the amount of impact air has on the contents. Oxygen can be destructive to the vitamins and nutrients in milk, causing it to lose nutritional value. The more air that mixes with the milk, the faster the vitamins will degrade.
Since Dr. Brown's vent system channels air away from the milk, nutrients like vitamins C, A, & E are better preserved – so more goes to your little one with each feeding. Every drop of breastmilk or formula is so important, and with Dr. Brown's bottles, every drop counts.
We talked a little bit before about how Dr. Brown's bottles eliminate negative pressure. Because of this, liquid can slowly but steadily flow from the nipple when you turn the bottle over; add in the sucking motion of a feeding baby, and it opens the flow much like breastfeeding. That means baby has to work to get milk, but not hard enough to cause feeding issues or ear infections – also much like breastfeeding. Since they are familiar with feeding in this same way while breastfeeding, using a Dr. Brown's bottle every now and then doesn't much change the experience between the two. Because of this, switching back and forth between bottle feeding and breastfeeding should be a breeze.
There's something else on our bottles that help preserve breastfeeding: Our silicone nipples. The unique manufacturing process of the silicone nipples keeps nipple flow rate between same-level nipples, well, the same. In fact, in a study done on nipple flow levels of major bottle brands, Dr. Brown's came out with the most consistent flow between same-level nipples. Which means every Level 1 Nipple you buy has the same flow rate – and that applies to every nipple level we offer. So, when mom finds the nipple level that most closely resembles her own flow rate, she knows each nipple bought will be the same.
A baby with a gassy stomach isn't going to settle easily into naps and bedtime. Feeding time is often the trigger of an upset tummy; the more air baby intakes when feeding, the more gas and reflux are likely to show up. The type of bottle you use can actually be a cause of air getting in baby's belly during bottle feeding. Which is why it's important to use a vented bottle – but not just any vented bottle.
Dr. Brown's internal vent system offers a fully vented atmosphere, which means air is eliminated and gas and reflux are reduced. So baby can take a bottle before naptime and bedtime without waking up shortly after with gas pains.
We are so honored to officially be the most recommended bottle by pediatricians in the U.S. But it's an even bigger deal to us to be recommended by moms and dads everywhere. After all, you're the ones trusting our bottles every day; without your support over the past 20-odd years, we wouldn't be around. And here's what you've been saying:
For more stories straight from parents, check out My Dr. Brown's Story and find us on social!
As we improve and innovate current and new products, we'll continue do so with the same goal as parents and pediatricians: Helping our little ones grow and prosper. Thank you for making us the bottle brand we are today!« How to Sterilize Your Dr. Brown's Bottles Keep Baby Cool During Summer Fun »

Linking Paintbars on Intraday Chart
Crypto posted a topic in Scan and Paintbar Help/DiscussionHi forum I'm new to Medved Trader (not new to trading). I'm experimenting with the Intraday charts and have created a number of paintbars which are appearing on the chart. I've looked at the YouTube tutorials and documentation and can't seem to find what I'd like to do. Is it possible to link the paintbars so they only fire/appear on the intraday chart if the other paintbar conditions equate to true. For example I have a buy paintbar called b_p and a sell paintbar called s_p. Can I set up the paintbars so 's_p' only appears after 'b_bp' appears and then once 's_p' appears 'b_bp' can trigger again ? Not sure if that's clear, currently on my intraday chart I have many consecutive 'buy' signal and 'sell' signals and I only want to see alternating signals buy sell buy sell buy sell etc Cheers

Paintbars and Custom Indicators
QT_Fan posted a question in Feature RequestsHi Jerry and Mike Saw a post that Paintbars and custom indicators would be released soon in maybe a production version. Are you looking to release a beta version with both in, as the feedback from users would be very useful for MT's development. Depending on how powerful the code is it could really put MT on the map, I currently do all kinds of workarounds to Auto-trade with QT and internal MT code would be very useful. So if you want some field testing done before you release, please sign me up. Also when you tell me NO could you let me know what the MT symbol for the FTSE100 contract is, (Symbol Z) current month IB symbol ZZ5, trades on ICEEU. To offer a bug report as a token of my gratitude, circles are missing on the "Clear annotations" button in the charts. With Best Regards QT Fan Hopefully soon to be MT Fan !

Ana and Gent's Wedding at Treasury on the Plaza
Ana and Gent are the sweetest couple who come from very traditional Albanian families. While they actually met through mutual friends they did wind up getting engaged in Albania. But they both had their heart set on a wedding at Treasury on the Plaza, a gorgeous venue in downtown St. Augustine. Many of their family and friends came from across the world to join them on their wedding day.
The day started out a little gray and drizzly. As it sometimes happens on the wedding day, things were running a bit behind. But, it really couldn't have worked out better because we completely missed the rain that was coming just in time for gorgeous portraits after the wedding ceremony! Ana and her mom were so in love with my epic veil toss photos that they actually ordered a special veil from Amazon just to wear during portraits! After hearing that, how could I disappoint?! Obviously, we had to get the best veil photos and Fort Castillo NEVER lets me down with its stunning views. Even the sky cooperated at sunset, it couldn't have been any prettier.
Once we were back at the reception, Ana and Gent's family and friends came to party. It didn't take long at all before the dance floor was packed with traditional Albanian wedding dances and ceremonies. I mean they even lit a napkin on fire!! The dance floor didn't let up all night long and it just got crazier in the best possible way. Those Albanians know how to dance and they know how to party!
Thank you Ana and Gent for choosing me to photograph your wedding at the Treasury on the Plaza. I absolutely adore you and I'm SO thankful you choosing me!

Remove Bronzer Makeup from Clothes, Towels, and Carpets
Removing bronzer makeup can be a tough job if you don't have a clue on how to get it out. Here are some of best ways to remove bronzer from clothing, carpet, and your bathroom towels.
Step 1 - Vacuum it Up
One of the best ways to get bronzer out of those things is to first vacuum any loose particles off the surface. If it's a shirt, take off that article and start the process right away. Then, fill your sink with very cold water, dump your clothing or towels in, and rub the bronzed spot back and forth between your hands. Toss it in the washer, and run it through like normal.
Obviously you can't throw your carpet in the filled sink, so getting the carpet wet with cold water, and letting it soak is the solution.
Step 2 - WD-40
You can also try using WD-40 or another kind of lubricant. Simply spray it on the area, and let it sit for a bit. Let it soak into the object you're working on, then dab it very lightly with a white towel until the stain is gone.
Step 3 - Dish Soap
If the above two did not work, you can try good old dish soap. You will want to make sure you are using a dish soap with a good de-greasing agent in it.
Apply the dish soap to the spot, rub the soap into whatever object you are working on at that time, and give it a good washing. Again, if you are working on your carpet, you can soak the area with soapy warm water, and work on it that way.
There you are. You can still wear your favorite shirt tonight, your towels are back to crisp white, and your carpet looks like it never happened. Good job!

Don't just take our word for it...
Joanna Jones - Quantity Surveyor, Bovis Homes - August 2019
"I just wanted to say thank you to all of the team at Tewkesbury Park for yesterday, we had a great time. The Off-Limits guys were brilliant and everyone enjoyed the activities – huge relief for me! Particular thanks to Jeanette and Adam for looking after us last night. Jeanette looked after us brilliantly and we all enjoyed the food. The private dining room was a good decision, we were very impressed with it. And another thank-you from those of us that had suites, they were stunning 😊 Thanks again – we hope to be back."
Millie Jackson - Helical Levity - August 2019
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Tewkesbury Park for making our Team Meeting such a success. Maddie was invaluable from start to finish, with the organisation of the event and offering advice and guidance whenever we asked any questions. As well as Olivier and Jeanette who looked after us over both days, everyone was very attentive and super friendly. At various points over the two days, several members of the team all commented on how lovely and approachable all the staff across the hotel were, they couldn't do enough for us.
The meeting rooms we used were all lovely and overall the space was tailored to exactly what we needed. We will definitely consider Tewkesbury Park for further events we hold.
Thanks again to you all!"
Gail Shepherd - Fusion Fosterin Ltd - May 2019
"I just wanted to say a Big Thank You to you and the rest of the team at Tewkesbury Park for making our event such a success. Everyone had a fabulous time, the staff were very helpful & attentive, the food was lovely and the bedrooms were very comfortable and wonderful. We would definitely use Tewkesbury Park again for future events and would recommend it to others as it's a superb venue."
Sue Burch - Nexus Venue - March 2019
"Thank you so much for looking after the group so well over the weekend. And for all your help and organisation before we arrived. 😊 All of the people running the various events were such characters who clearly loved what they were doing. Andy who took us through the laser shooting and archery was great, so funny. Both coach drivers were great and the coaches themselves were well turned out. The Chase activity was great, again the knowledge and passion of the staff shone through. Great value for money. Lunch was amazing! Landrover experience was amazing, again the team made it, so knowledgeable and encouraging, everyone had a great time even those who were quite nervous about it. Please also thank Roberto and Miles who looked after us during the dinner, they were superb and the food was delicious. All in all, a great time was had by everyone. 😊"
Monica Wragg - U3A - January 2019
"A million thank yous to everyone at the hotel who helped to make yesterday's lunch such an enjoyable event. I have received several emails and 'phone calls from people to say how much they enjoyed themselves . "food super, service discreet but efficient", "excellent occasion, very enjoyable", "food excellent, as was the service, the venue and even the weather - a happy buzz all around" . I think the seating plan was a definite plus so that people don't have to worry about where to sit. They even made new friends.🤗 I really can't thank you and everyone at the hotel enough for all the hard work and smiley faces. Several people have mentioned a summer BBQ and certainly going back next year."
Sue Rogan - National Telesales Manager, LWC - January 2019
"Want to thank you for all your help with our above meeting.The service we have received was excellent from the off, usually you can single a particular person who has gone out of their way to make the meeting a success but I would say I would be naming all the staff I came into contact with, just excellent. The Chairman & Managing Director were very impressed with the facilities and the service received, which is good usually there is something.The meeting room is by far the best we have ever used, the screen in itself was good but coupled with the view, wasn't sure which I wanted to look at. I have been arranging these meetings for nearly 7 years and wished I had found you sooner."
Beth Legge - Sales & Commercial PA, Etex Group - January 2019
"The venue location was great, with so many people travelling from all over, ease of access from the motorway was essential. The venue itself was beautiful, with lovely views which really helped to create a relaxed environment. To have a lovely room with lots of daylight really helped boost the energy levels. The breakout rooms were a good size and could easily accommodate the groups on both days. It's quite hard to find a conference venue that doesn't feel "corporate" but still works well in terms of layout and facilities, and I think this is something you've managed to achieve with your hotel, I could easily see myself going there for a wedding or a weekend break as much for as a conference. Everyone we came into contact with was a credit to the hotel, delegates said that you could tell that people enjoyed working at the hotel, it really came across, which again helped create a relaxed and happy atmosphere. I've had a lot of comments about the food - it was excellent. Hands down the best lunch we've ever had at a conference, on both days. A few people used the gym and swimming pool, and said the facilities were excellent, and pool was lovely. The car park is nice and big, meaning that everyone could park easily, and a plus for me walking around in the early hours, it was very well lit. Thank you again for everything, holding a conference a Tewkesbury Park was a great experience for us, and I really hope we have the opportunity to use you again."
Helen Boxall - Havas Helia - December 2018
"Well, what can I say, just a very big thank you to you all for making our Havas Christmas party such a wonderful experience on 13th December!! I have never worked with a hotel (and believe me, I've worked with many!!) where the staff are so helpful, will go out of their way to assist and a lot of the time, over and above what is expected. Food was great, thank you, getting the food right on these occasions can be tough, but it is very important, so great job! Comments about the venue being beautiful, the facilities, golf course and surroundings, hotel décor, happy & friendly staff were plentiful."
Jonathan Wallis - JLR Launch Events Manager - October 2018
"Tewkesbury Park was the perfect venue for the Midlands venue for our Jaguar driving event. The new Cotswolds Suite met our event needs in every way and the stunning views enjoyed by our guests during refreshments were an added bonus. The hotel team provided superb levels of service and created a menu to meet our brief with a tasting event the week before we went live. Superb access, great road routes and plenty of space meant our four day event went ran very smoothly."
Nick Harvey - Senior Project Manager, the event business - October 2018
"A huge thank you to Amanda, Sam and their team at Tewkesbury park. They made the whole process of planning and delivering a Jaguar experience event Tewkesbury Park a very smooth and swift process. Nothing was never too much trouble and the whole team were extremely accommodating. With the newly built Cotswold suite housing the event and the ideal country roads made Tewkesbury Park the perfect location to run our West Midlands leg of the tour."
Kim Kane, Red Leaf - July 2018
"Thank you so much for your kind generosity and hospitality. The hotel is wonderful and the transformation amazing. As you know it is over 20 years since my last visit. Everyone in your team was fantastic in looking after us from the start to the finish of our stay. You have a unique and wonderful product and I fully intend to share the secret with all my clients this week. Thank you to everyone for such a relaxing and enjoyable weekend."
David Reay-Scott, CEO & Founder, Blue Ice Management - June 2018
"Tewkesbury Park has just undergone a £9 million refurbishment and what a great job they have done. Set on a hill overlooking 5 counties the views are fabulous along with the service, very friendly staff, the food and the first class facilities. Great for incentives, team building, weddings, conferences, golf trips or just a weekend break."
Richard Collins, Vice-Chairman Kent Country Cricket Club - June 2018
"I joined our players staying at Tewkesbury Park the afternoon and evening before our Semi-Final of the Royal London One Day Cricket Cup against Worcestershire Cricket Club, one of the biggest domestic cricket matches we have played for about 10 years. I found our players who had arrived before me on bicycles, playing golf, or other relaxing pursuits in idyllic rural surroundings. My accommodation in a suite was magnificent and dinner that evening was excellent, served by delightful staff who clearly had great pride in their place of work. It was a wonderful venue for our team to prepare for such a big occasion in their lives, and my thanks to all who made this possible."
Claire Lee, Venue Queen - May 2018
"Thank you so much for our wonderful stay on Wednesday, great to see the facilities and work out which clients may fit for you. Daisy is exhausted after all her adventures as you might expect! Great venue, great food, great staff = wonderful experience for all!"
Hannah Cope, Event Manager, Bell Events - February 2018
"'Thank you so much for the fantastic evening for our clients last Friday. The feedback we have received has been brilliant, especially with regards to the hotel staff! The welcome we received on entry to the hotel was next level and nothing was too much trouble for them. It was great to see the venue and the refurbishment work that has taken place over the past months, including the brand new conference suite, you've done a lovely job. We will continue to recommend this venue to our clients!"
Andrew Winterburn, 360 Event Consulting - February 2018
"It was a pleasure to meet you last week during the Top Banana workshop I was facilitating. It was great to be able to experience the hotel first hand and to enjoy the great service the staff delivered. The new meeting space is fantastic and it certainly adds to all the other investments the owners have put in to the property."
Richard Bridge, Top Banana- February 2018
"Huge thanks it was an ideal venue to plan the future direction of the business. I know the team were hugely impressed with the quality of the refurb. The staff were really helpful and attentive and the food was amazing. We will be back and more importantly will be recommending it to our clients."
Catherine Ingram - Marketing Manager, Arrow Business Communications Limited - December 2017
"I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it has been working with you to plan our Christmas Party. Our employees had a fabulous time! Your staff were amazing and ensured that everything went smoothly, even during the 'water crisis'. We really appreciate the significant effort you and your team went to in order to accommodate 140 people plus some unexpected extras when our other hotel cancelled our booking. Well done and many thanks."
Myles Grennan - Marketing & Communications Manager, Sapa Profiles UK Ltd - December 2017
"I would just like to say that everything went like clockwork and noting was too much for Olivier. All of your colleagues were super helpful and very amiable. We would absolutely consider using Tewkesbury park again for any of our events which we are sometimes asked to host."
PA from a manufacturing company - October 2017
"Hotel & staff - absolutely fantastic – all the team are an asset to the hotel. Nothing was ever too much trouble and any request we had however big or small was carried out with no issues at all. The location is beautiful and we had so many compliments on how it was the best venue we have ever held our Senior Management Conference in and I've been holding them for 10 years! The main suite is great for conferences and you can tell that staff are proud to work in such a lovely venue.Would we use them again - absolutely!"
Helen Ferreira-Gomes - Events Manager, Audi UK - October 2017
"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all the team at Tewkesbury Park for making us feel so welcome, the whole team couldn't do enough to assist us throughout our stay. Being able to use the hotel's brand new facility was great, and the added bonus of being able to get some of our cars in the suite really added to the success of the event.
Please also pass on our thanks to the chefs and waiting staff that worked on our event too, they did a great job and the food was superb."
Suzanne Gardner - Marketing Assistant, Liva Nova - October 2017
"The team were all very impressed with the venue, most commenting that it was the best meeting room they have ever been in!"
Diane Mealing - PA/Senior Secretary on behalf of Peter Young, Executive Director for Building UK - April 2017
"Oh my goodness, what a fabulous weekend we had. Very many thanks for the magnificent room you allocated to us which we so very much enjoyed. The peace and quiet together with the views were stunning. My husband Bev is the world's worst critic and was frustrated that he couldn't find anything to complain about – an achievement as this has never happened before!!!!
The food was absolutely amazing and the staff, especially Joan, was so funny and she looked after us really well. Thanks also to Samantha who showed me around the facilities – I have rarely been so impressed with such a magnificent building. The history was so interesting and to have a copy of the War of the Roses in the room was definitely an added bonus for me.
The conference facilities will look stunning when they are completed and I will be ringing Infotel directly to recommend wholeheartedly your venue complete with my personal experience of it.
I have to say, your toiletries were superb and am thinking of buying some on the website, especially the hand wash as we used any excuse to wash our hands just for the fragrance!!!
Once again, very many thanks to you and the staff for the hospitality shown to us – it was certainly a stay to remember. Rest assured, we will most definitely be back!!"
Vivienne Godby - HR Assistant, Helander Precision Engineering Ltd. - April 2017
"The feedback was brilliant, absolutely nothing was at fault, everyone loved all the additional extras and the help your team gave. Considering it was such short notice as well I'm really pleased everything went smoothly."
Tom Adams - Sales Co-ordinator, Gloucester Rugby - March 2017
"I think the course and the day were both fantastic, with all attendees giving great reviews of the course and the facilities. The evening meal was very well received as was the lounge we were using. Thanks again for your help on the day and leading up to our event."
Jessica Fisher - Schools Relationship Officer, Polka Theatre - March 2017
"We had a great time at the hotel. Everything was beautifully clean (and I'm fussy!), well organised and all the staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed their lovely rooms and the newly refurbished public spaces."

My sweet 2nd graders spent the week learning about the life and legacy of MLK. It was a great week with lots of learning and active engagement!
Countdown with me as I share what our week looked like, Five for Friday style!
You're handprint art is so cute! I just LOVE teaching my students all about MLK Jr's legacy and equality.
Teaching with Giggles
Thank you, Veronica! It looks like your class was busy with MLK, too! It was a great unit to teach. I was happy to share about someone so important that my students knew so little about.
I love your blog design...I've never seen it before and it's so pretty! You're handprints are adorable, my kids would have liked making that. I also teach 2nd and am now following you.
Literacy Spark
Thank you, Jessica! Thanks for following. The hand prints were a lot of fun for the kids to make. It was a great bonding experience :-)

Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by the on-line company Google (famous for the Google Search Engine, Google Earth and Google Maps) based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
At the time of writing, Android is the most distributed OS for tablet PCs and mobile phones.
If what you require from a tablet or phone is access to the Internet, access to social media and the ability to watch video, listen to music and play games Android is probably ideal for you. At the time of writing Android is not well supported when it comes to Office type applications or creative software.
As Android is based on the Linux Kernel and the Linux Kernel is a Unix-like OS it is much more difficult for criminals to create viruses and Mal-wear for this OS and that, coupled with the fact that Android is not as prominent as Windows, means that there are, at the time of writing, no such hazards at large to worry users.

The long silence: Some neocon pundits would like nothing better than to gag WikiLeaks and Julian Assange ... terminally.
[ Image Source ]
This page* introduces, one at a time, the public figures who have so far advocated killing or "disappearing" Julian Assange. I propose this: If something of the kind does happen, each person appearing on this page should be investigated as an accessory. If it should become evident that the criminal acted, wholly or in part, in accordance with his or her suggestions, that public figure should suffer whatever penalty his country imposes for the crime — precisely as if he or she had personally committed it.
If that means capital punishment ... well, let's just say it wouldn't bother me to see Thomas Flanagan slowly and very deliberately asphyxiated with hydrogen cyanide, soiling himself in unspeakable excruciation and meeting death with a rictus of agony as all the oxygen in his cells is gradually replaced by poison.
Oh. Did I say that out loud? Oops. Guess I'm feeling "manly," right, Tom?
Actually, it would bother me, since I oppose capital punishment for moral reasons; the preceding was meant only for rhetorical effect. But I do think that if you suggest an assassination and someone takes you up on it, a long prison term is in order.

Robbie Fowler's 330 games and 171 goals for Liverpool, the club he joined as a boy three decades ago, earned him the affectionate nickname of God in his hometown. He was a local boy made good, a so-called Scouse scally from a rough side of town who endeared himself to the club's rabid fans at Anfield stadium for 11 seasons during his heyday in the 1990s.
But how can anyone, any soccer player, never mind one called god, deal with the prayers, expectations and exaltations of the Reds' faithful?
"Again, I must stress I never went around calling myself god," Fowler joked. "To be honest, I've been called a lot worse, but in my eyes it just shows you I've done something right in my career. To get labeled with a nickname as god, for me it's probably the mother of all nicknames. It's, again, it was actually my teammates who started calling me that in the locker room. It just stuck.
"I'm sure you can imagine, everyone gets nicknames, some of them not printable. It's the same in football. There's so much friendly banter. When you've got a nickname it generally sticks in football. And when the players started calling me that it just went out to the fans. It is an unbelievable nickname. I think back to myself after you finishing playing football, yeah, I have done something good in my life. Simple fact you've been called god by what I think are the best and most passionate and cleverest fans in Liverpool fans, for me it was a phenomenal experience."
Fowler, one of Liverpool's ambassadors (even though he began life as a fan of its crosstown rival Everton), was in New York this week ahead of Thursday's announcement of the details of Liverpool's summer tour of the United States as part of the eight-team Guinness International Challenge Cup. Liverpool will first play Olympiakos of Greece in Chicago on July 27, then face Manchester City at Yankee Stadium on July 30, and complete the first round against A.C. Milan in Charlotte, N.C., on Aug. 2.
After leaving Liverpool in 2007 and then playing for Cardiff City and Blackburn, Fowler departed the country and the continent to ply his trade in Australia, signing with the North Queensland Fury in the nascent A-League. One has to wonder why (if?) Fowler ever considered trying his hand in M.L.S.
"Well, there were two teams interested actually," he said. "The New England Revolution and Columbus Crew were very interested. I had a few discussions with both, nothing ever materialized." At the time the Revolution were coached by the former Liverpool player Steve Nicol.
"I went to Australia because it was a new team and a new challenge," he said, though he now acknowledges, "I think I did make a bit of a mistake."
Fowler praised the growth, the expansion and the infrastructure in M.L.S., and in hindsight said he wished he had been part of it.
"It looks to be the place to be at the moment," he said. "In hindsight, if we could change some things, it would have been brilliant, but at the time Australia just fell into my path. Nothing here was ever concrete and something materialized in Australia. I was interested in M.L.S., and don't get me wrong, I loved it in Australia. But to be fair I could have loved it over here.
"It's definitely on the up this game over here, it is the place, maybe I should get my boots back on."
Fowler, who is working toward his "A" international coaching license, added: "Maybe I should start looking for a job over here."
A few years ago, Fowler was stunned, but pleasantly surprised, when he discovered unexpectedly that his aura, and his reputation, followed him to New York.
Fowler was enlisted by Steve Nash (the N.B.A. star and part-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps of M.L.S.) to play in the Showdown in Chinatown, an annual benefit game in Lower Manhattan for Nash's foundation. The game has drawn stars from soccer and basketball to Sara D. Roosevelt Park in recent years. Even in the heat of summer in America, Fowler could not escape that nickname from Liverpool.
"It was more Steve Nash, a Tottenham fan, but we'll forgive him for that," Fowler said of how he came to be involved in the event. "I got him tickets for the World Cup in South Korea, I met him and we kept in touch. Then this game came about. It was a phenomenal experience. All the basketball players. And it's just a park and there were thousands of people there, on top of the fences. It was a great day. Jason Kidd was there, Baron Davis. At the time massive players. It was big.
"When we got off the bus, it was like the guard of honor. I remember coming off the bus, there were masses of people we had to walk past and someone recognized me. I didn't think football was that big over here, but I got recognized by a few American fellows and they were calling me god and I couldn't believe they knew me. It was brilliant. I love it."

Thought of the Week: SHRM LI Conference
Home Care: Long Island, Suffolk County
This week we are excited to be attending the Society of Human Resource Management Long Island annual conference. Alyssa Cottone, Director of Operations, Rebecca Krauss, Care Coordinator, and Laurie Messina, Caregiver Trainer, will be attending the conference on Friday, May 3rd.
The conference features workshops on recruiting, wage and hour compliance, employee engagement, and motivational interviewing, to name a few. As a company that manages professional caregivers who work in the home of elderly clients, these workshops and the ongoing education from SHRM-LI are very valuable to maintaining and developing employee programs, following state and federal employment laws, and guiding families and caregivers on professional care in the home.
When families look to an agency to hire caregivers in the home, they should be getting more than just a home care worker. It's the benefit of having insured and bonded staff, the expertise of the agency's administrators, employment benefits for the caregivers, proper vetting, screening and training of the caregivers, customer service to troubleshoot any problems that arise, and the coordination of scheduling changes and coverage in the event that the assigned caregiver is absent. At Family First, your caregiver receives paid time off, annual performance reviews, a caregiver mentor and trainer, ongoing recognition and rewards for excellent work performance, an annual caregiver awards event, holiday bonus, and an employee discounts program.
Professional caregivers are often not offered employment benefits in the same way that traditional jobs offer benefits. Due to the informal and unsteady nature of the work, caregivers are not able to enjoy benefits such as paid time off and retirement programs. However, the caregiving field is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years as the aging population continues to grow which experts say will create caregiver shortages. According to a recent study on the caregiver industry by mycnajobs.com, employers will need to focus on improving wages and benefits, conduct regular performance reviews, and provide mentorship and training to attract and retain professional caregivers.
In the world of caregiving and personal care services at home, the lines of professional boundaries can easily become blurred. As the home care industry grows and professional caregiving as a career evolves, an agency that prioritizes professional employee relations and excellent customer service is the best solution for now and for the future.

Q. I'm traveling soon. Will the X-ray machines at the airports damage my PC?
A. You shouldn't have a problem. But if you're paranoid about this, simply arrive early for your flight and have it hand-checked. Usually it takes only a couple of minutes to turn on your laptop and allow the airport security agent to see that it's a real computer - not a bomb. Never pack your labtop in your luggage; it could be easily damaged, and it's doubtful the airline would pay.

"High levels of fat in the blood could be an early warning of Alzheimer's disease," says the Daily Express. The newspaper reports that people with high levels of a fatty compound called ceramide in their blood are 10 times more likely to develop the disease than people with the lowest levels.
This news is based on a small study that followed 99 initially dementia-free women in their seventies for almost a decade. While the study was well designed and does seem to suggest a link between ceramide levels and risk of Alzheimer's disease, it has some limitations, in particular its size. Because the study was so small, the results could have occurred by chance.
Overall, the findings of this preliminary study suggest that the role of ceramides in Alzheimer's disease may be worth further investigation. If it is confirmed that a rise in ceramide levels is associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease this will provide a greater insight into the underlying biology of the condition.
But, even if this kind of testing does provide an "early warning" sign of Alzheimer's disease it is still unclear how it could contribute to the development of methods to slow the progression of the condition.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from the Mayo Clinic and universities in the US. It was funded by the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the Johns Hopkins Older Americans Independence Center. It was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Neurology.
Both the Daily Express and Daily Mail's stories include quotes that make it clear that more research is needed.
What kind of research was this?
This was a prospective cohort study that looked at the relationship between the level of two types of fatty molecules in the blood and dementia. This type of study design is the best way to investigate this potential relationship.
The fatty molecules investigated in the study were sphingomyelins and ceramides, which are found in high levels in the membranes that surround cells. The breakdown of sphingomyelins is one way ceramides are formed. Ceramides play various roles in cells, including regulating cell survival. They are also involved in how precursors of amyloid – one of the proteins implicated in Alzheimer's disease – are formed, processed and moved around the cell. The formation of insoluble amyloid plaques in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers say that few studies have actually looked at the relationship between these fatty molecules and Alzheimer's disease in humans. They wanted to look at whether their levels in the blood predicted risk of all forms of dementia or just Alzheimer's disease.
What did the research involve?
The researchers assessed women taking part in the Women's Health and Aging Study II (WHAS II) in the US, which is an ongoing study that was launched in 1994 to assess the effects of ageing on a number of different health issues, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This study included the most able 70-79 year olds, who did not have dementia or significant problems with physical function at the start of the study.
For the current analysis, the researchers randomly selected 100 women who had provided blood samples at the start of the study. One of these women was found to have dementia at the start of the study and was excluded from analyses. The researchers measured levels of ceramides in these samples.
The women had thorough medical assessments and examinations, including neurological tests, every 1.5 to 3 years, for 9 years. Women whose cognitive performance had decreased significantly since their last examination or dropped below a certain level were identified. The full medical records for these women were assessed by a panel of medical experts, who determined whether the women had mild cognitive impairment or dementia based on standard, accepted criteria.
Alzheimer's disease is one cause of dementia, and the diagnosis is usually only reliably confirmed on examination of the brain after death. While a patient is alive they are categorised according to how likely it is that they have Alzheimer's disease based on their signs and symptoms. The researchers also determined whether women with dementia had possible and probable Alzheimer's disease, again based on standard, accepted criteria.
The researchers looked at whether blood ceramide and sphingomyelin levels at the start of the study predicted which women were more likely to go on to have dementia or Alzheimer's disease specifically. To do this, the researchers compared risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in those with the lowest third of levels of blood ceramide and sphingomyelin with those with the middle third of levels (moderate levels) and the highest third of levels.
In their analyses, they took into account other differences between the women, including:
- age
- ethnicity
- education
- smoking
- physical activity
- body mass index
- medical conditions
- symptoms
- medication use
- levels of other molecules in the blood, such as cholesterol
What were the basic results?
During the study, 27 women developed dementia (27.3%), and 18 were considered to have probable Alzheimer's disease (18.2%).
There was no relationship between sphingomyelin levels at the start of the study and risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease specifically. There was also no relationship between cholesterol levels in the blood and risk of dementia as a whole or of Alzheimer's disease specifically. In contrast, women with higher levels of ceramide in the blood at the start of the study were more likely to develop any type of dementia and Alzheimer's disease specifically.
The ceramides can be classified according to the length of the carbon chain that makes them up. Compared with those with the lowest levels of one particular ceramide with a 16 carbon molecule chain, those with moderate levels were 10 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease during the study (hazard ratio [HR] 10.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2 to 85.1).
There was a trend for increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in people with the highest levels of this ceramide, but the increase was not large enough to reach statistical significance.
Compared to those with the lowest levels of a ceramide with a 24 carbon molecule chain, those with the highest levels were about five times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease during the study (HR 5.1, 95% CI 1.1 to 23.6). Those with the highest levels of a type of ceramide called lactosylceramide were at almost 10 times the risk of Alzheimer's disease compared with those with the lowest levels (HR 9.8, 95% CI 1.2 to 80.1).
There were similar findings for dementia as a whole, but the effect of ceramide levels was less pronounced.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that high levels of particular ceramides in the blood were associated with an increased risk of all-cause dementia independent of other factors such as age and body mass index. They say that ceramides could be potential new targets for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
This study has found a link between the levels of the fatty molecules ceramides in the blood in older women and risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The study's strength is that it followed women up in a prospective fashion, and performed thorough medical assessments to see if they had developed dementia.
There are some limitations, mainly that the study was small – only assessing 99 women, 18 of whom developed Alzheimer's. When the women were analysed according to their ceramide levels, the numbers in the groups would be even smaller. Results obtained from small groups of people may not be representative of the population as a whole, and should be confirmed by larger studies. These larger studies should ideally include men as well as women, to see if the results apply to both sexes. Future studies could also measure ceramide levels at more than one point in time, as the levels may change over time. The other main limitation of the study is that it carried out multiple statistical tests, and the more tests carried out the greater the likelihood of finding an association that is just due to chance.
Overall, the findings of this preliminary study suggest that the role of ceramides in Alzheimer's disease may be worth further investigation. Much more research will be needed to determine whether they could be worth considering as "new targets" for drug development to potentially prevent or treat Alzheimer's.
