You may ask, "Gus, why do you live out loud?" By that, I mean the way I share of myself, both in this blog and on Facebook. You may also be asking yourself, "Don't you see the risk? What will people think?" I think the more important question is, "Why aren't YOU?"
Yes, I live out loud. I suppose I always have. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on one's point of view, it took a rapid series of what some would call a set of tragic personal experiences over a period of 13 months beginning four years ago, that has taken that way of living to new and unimaginable heights. Because of those experiences and what I've learned since, everything I do these days is done in a dynamic and outward way. I AM loud, in fact so much so, that sometimes it's a wonder I can walk. Why? I can't count the number of times I've shot myself in the foot, sometimes both, with speaking my mind. My little sister even gets annoyed on how I shut her front door. I can't seem to just simply close it gently! When I awake in the morning, trust me, you'll know it by all the groaning from pulling my body out of bed. But those are trivial matters compared to how I write, speak, and more importantly, how I URGE others to "live out loud."
So, back to my question, "Why aren't YOU?" There are a number of reasons I'm sure, many of which you may feel are entirely justifiable, at least from a "privacy" standpoint, but let me put it this way. If you can walk into any public library, sit down at a computer, type in Google maps, search for 221 E. Salina in Tribune, Kansas, and be able to see clearly an 8' x 14' shed sitting in the backyard of my old home there, from anywhere in the world, then I can GUARANTEE you there is NO such thing as "privacy" in our 21st century life. Does that frighten you? If so, why? Because you think someone can "see" what you're doing? Take it a step further into something perhaps you can all relate to. Many, if not most of you reading this, have Facebook accounts. And most of you, I'd venture to say 90% or more, have your settings set to "friends only", or have even taken steps to keep some of your personal information hidden. Why? What is it you fear? That someone might be stalking you? Certainly, particularly for women, there are justifiable reasons for doing so. After all, God forbid some lunatic found out your email address, phone number, even learn where you live! Plus, you have your families to protect. I understand those reasons and respect them.
But, here's my point. When you leave your home in the morning and venture out into your world, wherever that may be, many of you encounter people who won't look you in the eye, much less speak to you or even greet you with a warm smile. And heaven forbid if someone actually "talked" in an elevator for instance. "What can they be THINKING?" you might say to yourself. "Don't they know that's not the way we're supposed to act in an elevator?" You know what I say? WHO, exactly, wrote the manual on how we're supposed to conduct ourselves in an elevator?! Think back to when you were a child or, better yet, watch children and how they act in public. Sure, a lot of what they do is inappropriate and maybe even embarrassing. And I'll be the first to point that out, especially when I think of how I raised my children. But what they possess inside, the way their little minds process the world around them, is simply PRICELESS, and an extremely valuable lesson for us as adults.
We should re-kindle the child-like nature in each of us, keep stoking that flame of passion, and don't let it burn out. Far too many times, I've encountered people in the "adult world" who have ALLOWED themselves to speak or act in a certain way, simply because they feel society "says so." Each of us are unique, each of us have unique abilities, and something we can "bring to the table" for our fellow brothers and sisters in this world. All of us have a story to tell, especially those of us called "baby-boomers." We've seen and experienced things totally unlike anything in history, especially since the dawn of the 21st century.
I'm going to end this latest chapter with an analogy. Do you remember the movie Crocodile Dundee? In a way, I'm a lot like the character in that movie. For instance, when I go for a stroll along the beach I announce it by saying I'm going on "walkabout." I recall a scene in the original version, the one where he was having a conversation in a bar with Linda Kozlowski, who portrayed the character Sue Charlton, the busy-body New York reporter. She had just mentioned something about another person's drinking habits and felt bad about it, saying "I shouldn't have made that crack comment. I didn't know she had a drinking problem." Paul Hogan, the man who portrayed Mick Dundee was trying to describe "Walt", the guide in the movie. He told Sue, "No worries. Walt will take care of it. He'll tell someone and they'll tell someone else. And pretty soon, it's all out in the OPEN. No more problem."
So, the next time YOU are out in public, or even if you're discussing some of your personal "problems" with a family member or friend, REMEMBER this: letting go of your FEAR and PRIDE will open up a world totally unlike anything you've ever seen before. Trust me when I tell you this. Living OUT LOUD is easy, liberating, and even FUN! Try it! When the self-checkout computer lady at your local grocery store says, "Thank you for shopping with us" after you've checked out, say OUT LOUD so everyone can hear you, "You're WELCOME!" You will be amazed how that will bring smiles all around. Just like when you were a child!

We're introducing a new series of blogs in which our lovely brand manager and foodie expert, Claire Roper, looks at what's trending in the world of food. This month, Claire tells us about what caught her eye (and tastebuds) at this year's Taste of London, The Big Feastival & new restaurants in London & Leeds.
Middle Eastern food
Summer is the time of year we start thinking about sunshine and summer flavours. For me, Middle Eastern food always brings a flavour of sunshine to my meals, not in the ubiquitous kebab perhaps but instead, I'm thinking whipped feta with Turkish dumplings (Asian style) and a smoked garlic yoghurt. Yum. The perfect food to sit in the sunshine and enjoy. Bala Baya at Taste of London really encapsulated this for me. It's a Tel-Aviv inspired haunt which is a bakery by morning, pitta kiosk at lunch and a buzzy restaurant at night.
As well as a tasty treat, Tacos are also becoming somewhat of a fashion trend with the t-shirt slogan "Tacos Are My Life" filling our Instagram feed. Tacos are the perfect festival food – it is quick, easy street food and you can still dance while enjoying the handheld snack. Perfect as Faithless were performing on stage, much to the delight of the team at Breddos Tacos, while I made my order. I opted for a tuna sashmi taco with a black wrap, it was spicy and delicious! Fusion food at it's best.
Cheese for me is pure happy indulgence! I would always happily pick cheese over a dessert so I was delighted to find at Taste of London that cheese has now officially become a dessert. I saw manchego cheesecake with a strawberry compote and what I'd call the dessert of my dreams; manchego churros with quince jam. I don't think there could be a more perfect combination of flavours in this world. Biting into this, the tart nature of quince cut through the salty lightly fried churros. A perfect summer combo.
Naan Rolls
You'll find there is "nann better" than a nann bacon roll in a morning. We were delighted to uncover the experiential concept Nannia by Frankie Goes to Bollywood at Feastival. Simply walk through the wardrobe to uncover a new world…….of tasty delights. My choice 'son of a witch' – a thrilling combination of bacon cream cheese and tomato chutney in a soft naan wrap. The perfect way to kick off the day.
The new barbecue
Sweet and savoury barbecue flavour are now officially a 'thing'. This new popular flavour combination was everywhere at Taste of London but my personal favourite was a barbecue butterscotch sauce, which was delicious served with 72-hour barbecue beef rib.
Budda Bowls
After a few days into a festival, the body does start to crave some comfort and nourishment so I opted for the wonderfully named Budda Bowls. These colourful bowls are beautiful layered with vegetables, healthy grains, pickles and protein. It is now possible to get a hearty, pretty & satisfying salad at a festival, who would have thought! My body says thank you!
Gin, Pimm's and summer cocktails
Gin really is on trend at the moment with gin bars popping up all over the UK. Add to this the rise of the cocktail bar (where I live in Leeds I'm pretty sure there's a new one opening every week) and it's definitely the summer of cocktail flavours. At Taste, Club Gascon was selling Pimm's macaroons which were simply heaven to eat. When it comes to gin and Prosecco, I think these translate well into sauces – especially when paired with fish.
Not technically a flavour but new taste sensation perhaps. Crunch is a great way of adding interest especially to something like a burger. For example, the duck burger at the new Duck & Waffle Local has crunchy waffles on top. Alternatively, if you love pickled onion Monster Munch try the pickled onion crunch topping at Temper with the range of deliciously grilled meats.
These are just a few of the tastes I've been enjoying this season as part of my role At GLORIOUS! Foods – I hope you've been enjoying some great tastes this summer too.

Digital technologies have transformed the way many firms have conducted their business over the past two decades. This transformational context raises two important questions for management researchers. Firstly, how have firms adapted their strategies, resources and capabilities to the challenges of an increasingly digital environment? Secondly, how have these adaptive practices affected their corporate financial performance? This paper presents the findings on how two media organisations dynamically adapted their strategies, resources and capabilities to an increasingly volatile media environment.

By Cat Stevenson, Senior Consultant, EMEA Cross Border Retail & Leisure
We are currently facing peak retail apocalypse. At least, that's according to the latest news headlines. There's no denying these are some of the toughest times for the industry. However, while there is no shortage of reports of retailers buckling under the pressure, there are also many brands that are in fact thriving, having taken a proactive and agile approach to the evolving market. In this current climate, retailers can compete and even flourish. It's a tough environment, but there are definite steps retailers can take, not only to avoid having to call in Mike Ashley as their saviour, but to prevail as stronger and more profitable than ever.
Once the crown jewel of the high street, the traditional department store no longer resonates with shoppers in the same way it used to. Having every product stocked under one roof – formerly the USP of the department store – simply does not have the same allure in this Amazon era. A lack of investment, poor product proposition and an uninspiring store environment also threaten the extinction of some of the nation's staples.
But it's not the same story across the whole sector. Voted the best department store in the world, Selfridges has become a trailblazer in innovation, pioneering brands and inspiring pop-ups such as the current #FendiKiosk – complete with Fendi balloons, postcards and even custom gelato.
Other department stores have also found their niche and capitalised on what they do well; such as Liberty with its heritage and exclusivity, and John Lewis with exceptional customer service and experience (think rooftop restaurants and this summer's sensory installation, Poolside). The department store is also being reinvented in other ways: The Shop at Bluebird offers a journey through the evolving worlds of fashion, interiors and beauty. In a virtual sense, ASOS has become the Millennial's department store, with its constantly-refreshed, ever-expanding range of designer goods, luxury cosmetics and homewares.
Think not just for tech's sake; genuinely useful technology that easily fits into our lives, making shopping an enjoyable and effortless experience.
Pioneering technologies such as 'visual search', which uses Artificial Intelligence to enable shoppers to find products using a photograph taken on their smartphone, is now being adopted across fashion (e.g. ASOS) and beyond (e.g. eBay). This type of technology inspires consumers and accurately assists in finding exactly what a shopper is searching, making the purchase process as streamlined as possible for them.
Zara is top of its game when it comes to speed and responsiveness. It can deliver new collections within two weeks of their catwalk appearance (against the average of around six months). 'Seamless omnichannel retail' is an over-used catchphrase in the industry, but this is a real example, and is driving Zara's competitive advantage. It has leapt one step further by connecting its online and offline inventory, meaning that even if items are sold out online, they can be sourced and shipped to the consumer from a nearby store.
Social media has become embedded in many consumers' day-to-day lives, so – naturally – retailers are using these platforms as a way to promote their brand. Swedish fashion e-commerce company NA-KD has experienced rapid growth as a result of its collaboration with a number of social influencers, amassing 1.7 million followers – and generating annual sales of $70 million – in just a few years.
Instagram has progressed in leaps and bounds when it comes to an integrated customer journey, with new functionality that enables users to purchase products directly from their feed. Retailers such as Sweaty Betty have jumped onto this bandwagon, to take advantage of the profit potential. Missguided recently made the shrewd step of partnering with Love Island, taking advantage of a shoppable Instagram, with a key demographic to promote its products as they appeared on screen, which saw sales increase by 40% week-on-week. The question is, now the show is over, will consumers stay loyal or will their heads be turned by the next reality celebrity endorsed goods?
The popularity of social influencers can be as fleeting as a Love Island romance, which can be tricky for retailers to keep up with the most relevant brand ambassadors.
Other brands have side-stepped influencers, instead communicating directly with their social media following. Beauty network Glossier has garnered an army of devoted fans through personal, loyalty-inspiring dialog. Rather than marketing through bloggers, Glossier sends new products to hundreds of their most engaged 'superfans', ensuring that the consumer is rooted in their product development (and strategy).
It's our favourite topic of conversation. So why do some retailers seem to keep their eye off the forecast?
During a recent trip down Oxford Street, it was surprising to see the number of stores showcasing their Autumn/Winter collections during peak-heatwave. Compare this to Lidl, which quickly launched a 'Sleep Saver Kit' consisting of a fan, cooling bedding and lavender to help people sleep through the hot spell.
The rigidity demonstrated by some retailers, with slow reactions and outdated ways of functioning, is putting some brands even more at risk of fleet-footed fast-fashion brands such as Boohoo and Pretty Little Thing.
So how can retail hold onto life? Retailers must embrace the emergence of new retail channels and evolving consumer behaviour, which requires endurance and agility. Customer interaction is also key: not just in a transaction sense, but also reinforcing a connection to the brand by involving the customer in the product development process. These are traits which the most successful brands are adopting, to maintain and strengthen their consumer appeal, regardless of which channel that is delivered by.

Psychologist Bram Buunk studied the fascinating emotion we call jealousy over the course of four decades. The focus and the critical questions of his research changed over the years, adapting to acquired knowledge, shifting attitudes, and evolving societal norms surrounding sexuality, monogamy, and non-exclusive relationships.
In a recent presentation hosted by the Program for the Study of LGBT Health in New York, Dr. Buunk shared findings from his examination of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity differences in response to potential infidelity.
During the open discussion that followed his lecture, I asked whether gay men in open relationships experience jealousy differently than their monogamous counterparts. Dr. Buunk, who studied jealousy in open heterosexual marriages since the early eighties, explained that there is little data on jealousy in non-monogamous gay couples. That's when someone mentioned a word unfamiliar to most people in the audience: compersion.
Compersion is a neologism coined to describe positive feelings in response to one's partner sexual or romantic experience with another person.
Gracie X, author of Wide Open: My Adventures in Polyamory, Open Marriage and Loving On My Own Terms writes:
We can be thrilled for our partner if they get a raise or promotion or receive some kind of unexpected windfall, but why can't we be happy for our partners who find joy in bed with someone else?
Compersion differs from candaulism, the practice in which someone exposes their partner to other people for their voyeuristic pleasure. Compersion doesn't entail specific activities. It describes positive emotional reactions in response to fulfilling connections between an individual's partner and a person outside of the relationship.
More widely, the term refers to joy experienced by some people when their significant other has an uplifting, pleasurable relation, sexual or otherwise, with another person.
Compersion is the opposite of jealousy.
The polyfidelity-practicing Keristan Commune in San Francisco started using the term around 1985. Its etymology is quite unconventional. Apparently, the word does not have an ancient history or traditional roots. Instead, members of the Keristan Commune invented it using an alphabet board, a variant of the Ouija board.
According to others, the term derives from the French "comperage" introduced by anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss to describe relationships that included sexual sharing of wives among South American tribes.
Regardless of its origin, the word compersion, currently still unknown to most people, seems to describe the experience of some men and women in non-monogamous relationships appropriately; feelings most people aren't socialized to sense or acknowledge.
As Dr. Meg John Barker puts it in the title of the article appeared on Sexualities, in a culture of compulsory monogamy,
there aren't words for what we do or how we feel so we have to make them up.
We know little about compersion.
Social Psychologists at the University of Hawai'i and Hawai's Pacific University recently found that high levels of emotional jealousy make people in traditional monogamous relationships happier. In contrast, in the same study, compersion was a predictor of satisfaction in non-traditional couples.
As we learn more about compersion and its nuances, and as we wrap our minds around its meanings, it is important to point out that, as Sociologist Elizabeth Sheff warns, compersion has to be innate and authentic to be meaningful.
Perhaps compersion, like jealousy, represent the kind of human emotional journey that, defined by contradictory real-life experiences, will remain controversial.
What do you think?

Since value retention is such an important issue with our valuable and sometimes unique instruments, we explain the installation and use conditions as well as the warranty conditions that are relevant for the instrument in every consultation before the purchase. We also provide you with essential information here.
Whether you buy a new or used piano, the guarantee conditions of the respective supplier or the conditions fixed in the respective contract always apply. You should find out about this before you decide to buy or place an order and, if necessary, obtain legally binding information. We cannot, of course, accept any liability for the information and notices we have provided here.
When purchasing from private persons, any rights of guarantee or warranty or return are usually excluded. Traders and craftsmen are subject to legal framework conditions, the implementation of which can be mapped in possible individual conditions and can also vary. Here again, different conditions apply when purchasing a product or when providing catering or other services. With our self-playing instruments (see www. faszinationpianola. de), for example, we always hand out instructions for use or operating instructions and have them countersigned, as special features have to be taken into account here that are very relevant for value retention, function and safety (e. g. electrical system) and thus ultimately also for liability.
In the case of purchsing a new instrument, you can find out about the warranty conditions in advance on the websites of the respective manufacturers and dealers. There are some aspects that are similar in all documents. For the provision of any guarantee or warranty services, the customer is generally obliged to provide evidence, i. e. not only the current case must be reported, stating the respective contractual information, but also, at the provider's request, proof that the requirements have been met and how the current possible damage has occurred.
In principle, proper use and installation are always assumed. Assuming normal, appropriate use is particularly critical: the room climate. The humidity at 20° Celsius room temperature must be in the range of 40-70% (different data per supplier). For the mostly used and therefore older instruments that we offer, the range from 50-65% applies. If the humidity is below this range, the instrument may be noticeably lighter (touch) and less precise. If the humidity is below 45%, the instrument takes substance damage (cracking, glue peeling, tuning problems, etc. ). If the humidity is above the range the materials swell, the instrument usually plays too loud and heavy.
Manufacturers who supply worldwide usually use materials that are particularly suitable for local climates - and this under special climatic conditions in the manufacturing plant. Examples of such regional differences: wet climate in Asia, dry climate in North America and changing climate in Europe. In Germany, the main challenge is that we have clear seasonal differences and a rather solid structure of the houses. This means that we a. need a complete monitoring of the room climate and b. have to ensure the room climate in different ways during the seasons, i. e. if necessary humidify in winter and dry in summer. In any case, the use of air conditioning, ventilation, patio and winter garden doors, etc. must be checked and adjusted, as this may mean that one or the other installation location is not suitable for the valuable piano, depending on lifestyle.
It is therefore not only important to comply with the conditions, but also to document them completely. As a rule, we deliver a professional testo measuring instrument with every instrument sold, which continuously records the data with high measuring accuracy. Additional damage to the substance can hardly occur if the prescribed room climate is maintained. However, it is important to note that the place of installation may not allow these conditions to be observed - e. g. in a conservatory, in an attic, with underfloor heating, in front of an often opened patio or outside door or a door to a conservatory, in direct sunlight, near a chimney or stove, etc. . . As a rule, no humidifiers or similar measures help to achieve a constant climate. A change of installation location must be taken into consideration.
If the conditions for the necessary constant climate are a. not met and b. not constantly documented, you not only endanger the instrument - but also lose any claim to possible guarantees or warranties. The same applies to any changes made by you or others to the instrument. If you or others have worked on the instrument, any warranty claim usually lapses. Here, too, the procedure must be carefully discussed with the provider in advance.
I would like to say a word about reviewers. If, as the owner of an instrument, you require an independent expert opinion for the assessment of the instrument or a specific issue, please consult the court (place of jurisdiction of the supplier) or the Chambers of Crafts, which expert is licensed by the court and enjoys a good reputation among experts. The reviewer should be an expert for the respective instrument type - for example for old instruments or also for the self-playing instruments. As in any other field, we have experienced that expert opinions have a clear individual share - and, jokingly formulated, "2 different expert opinions of different experts sometimes represent 3 different opinions". This is no surprise given the complexity of the matter and different beliefs. In case of doubt, it is therefore worthwhile to call in different expert opinions yourself - or even better, to try to identify an expert who enjoys the trust of the provider and the owner in order to reach an amicable settlement. This report can then be compiled transparently in the presence of all parties involved and subsequently avoids contradictory interpretations. Here too, however, expert opinions only make sense if compliance with any warranty and warranty claims can be proven. Otherwise, the necessary prerequisite is in place - irrespective of the content of the expert opinion.
Supplementary insurance can be taken out with most insurance providers to cover additional risks or coverage gaps. Although financial compensation cannot be a perfect solution for unique instruments either, at least the financial compensation is better presented. Whether the relationship between risk and rate makes sense for you is up to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information on this topic.
Since value retention is such an important issue with our valuable and sometimes unique instruments, we explain the installation and use conditions as well as the warranty conditions that are relevant for the instrument in every consultation before the purchase.

Our Story
Mas, a Japanese, met Karen, a Canadian, at a Bible Institute in Alberta, before they married and started a family in Japan. The years passed with Mas employed with a Canadian oil and gas industry internationally and with Karen teaching ESL in those locations (Calgary, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore). This privileged us with relationships in God's global family. For four years, we were stationed in Tokyo as TEAM Kingdom Professionals before Mas retired to begin a new journey as full time missionaries at KRC. Although grandparents, we have recognized a call to disciple Japanese so the church may increase in numbers and faith.
We have two daughters, son-in-laws, and three grandchildren (one graduating from high school).
Ministry Focus:
We are continuing our bridge-building between God's peoples at TEAM Karuizawa Retreat Centre. As Ministry Initiative Leader and Program Director, we desire to create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages spiritual growth. We invite ministry leaders, missionaries, church groups, and individuals to facilitate teaching God's Kingdom principles to His people. We also invite volunteers to assist in maintaining God's gift of this amazing retreat site.
Primary Prayer Request:
Pray that we may increase our connections to effectively reach more of God's peoples with the truths of God's Kingdom principles revealed through Jesus Christ.

One is a tough, shrewd member of a crime family in Missouri; the other is the beloved younger sister of a troubled New Yorker.
For Julia Garner — the actress who embodies both Ruth in the crime drama Ozark and Ellie in the new dark comedy Maniac — they have one important thing in common: a sense of hope.
"I always carry that around in the back of my mind, subconsciously, playing Ruth, that she always has hope, and I think Ellie has the same thing," says Garner.
"I do notice it's the one thing about every character that I've played in the past, that all of them … have, like, a drive toward something. I'm always attracted to those kinds of characters, that they want something better."
The 24-year-old Bronx-born actress was in Toronto promoting Maniac, a new Netflix series debuting Sept. 21 that's getting lots of buzz for reuniting Superbad co-stars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, as well as Ozark, another Netflix series for which Garner has gotten buzz of her own. It began its second season Aug. 31.
In Maniac, based on a Norwegian TV series of the same name, Hill and Stone play unhappy strangers who end up in the same pharmaceutical trial for a drug that its creator (Justin Theroux) claims can repair any sort of mental disorder. Hill's Owen has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a finding he disputes, and feels at odds with his rich family, while Stone's Annie is fixated on her broken relationship with her sister (Garner).
On Ozark, Garner has been the breakout star as Ruth, a teenager thrust into the role of matriarch to her family of small-time criminals, whose pragmatism and ferocity mask a yearning for a more respectable life. Ruth's already fascinating story line gets even more compelling in Season 2 when her father is released from prison; she's torn between him and Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), the accountant turned money launderer who has made her a key player in his business.
Garner says her main priority is to make sure the characters she plays are interesting. Ozark's Ruth has become perhaps her best known role, but she's also had memorable arcs as a sister-wife in the miniseries Waco and the duped daughter of a CIA agent in The Americans, plus indie movies like Martha Marcy May Marlene, Electrick Children and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
"You really get to study people and it makes the job much more fun," Garner says of the roles she has played, which she says are not the "love interest, girl next door" types. "I always just try (to do) something different and I just want to do good work."
Part of the study for Garner involves writing journals: not for herself but for her characters. "I have a journal for every character that I've ever played … so I can just kind of go back and really have an inner life, and not just rely on the writing."
The writing on both Maniac and Ozark, she hastens to add, is "really good."
The people involved in both projects were another lure. In Maniac, that includes Hill and Stone, director Cary Fukunaga, known for the first season of True Detective and Netflix film Beasts of No Nation; and creator Patrick Somerville, a novelist who has written for The Leftovers and The Bridge.
Garner worked closely with Stone, an Oscar winner for La La Land, which she described as an incredible experience. "Everyone knows that she's so talented but, working with her firsthand, she's just amazing."
She also has high praise for her Ozark co-stars Laura Linney and Jason Bateman. Bateman received Emmy nominations for both directing and starring in the series.
"I've been very lucky that every production that I've been on (the people) have been really nice and kind, and a lot of people can't say that. And when I'm saying 'every,' I actually mean every," she says.
Garner says her career goals are less about "What do I want to play next?" and more about "What do I need to improve and let me see if there's a part that will take me out of my comfort zone and I can learn from that."
She admits to being tough on herself, "a little too much sometimes … there's an actor part of me that's always like, 'It's not good enough. Do it again.'"
Garner aspires to be what she calls "a generous artist," which she says means being a good listener.
"If you feel like you're doing terrible in a scene, that usually means that you're not listening because you're too preoccupied with yourself … you're not listening to your scene partner. If you listen, you're naturally going to get that response that the camera's going to pick up because you just react," she says.
"Even if you're doing a monologue, you have to listen to what you're saying to imagine what you're saying, and have it come through your face or eyes."

An award of damages shall include pre-award interest at the rate of zero percent from the time of the act or acts giving rise to the award. (b) A party may apply to the arbitrator seeking injunctive relief until an arbitration award is rendered or the dispute is otherwise resolved.

If the arbitrator determines that a party has generally prevailed in the arbitration proceeding, then the arbitrator shall award to that party its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the arbitration, including filing fees, arbitrator compensation, attorney's fees and legal costs. (c) The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award. Judgment upon the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(d) The arbitrator shall require exchange by the parties of (i) the name and, if known, address and telephone number of each person likely to have knowledge of relevant information, identifying the subjects of the information, and (ii) non-privileged documents, including those in electronic form, that are relevant to the issues raised by any claim, defense or counterclaim or on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim, defense or counterclaim. The arbitrator shall limit such production based on considerations of unreasonable expense, duplication and undue burden. These exchanges shall occur no later than a specified date within 60 days following the appointment of the arbitrator. At the request of a party, the arbitrator may at his or her discretion order the deposition of witnesses. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of three depositions per party, each of a maximum of four hours duration, unless the arbitrator otherwise determines. The arbitrator may allow such other discovery as he or she determines is reasonably necessary for a fair determination of the dispute.

I've become addicted to The Magicians as escapist fantasy, despite noticing the way their editing tricks draw me in.
You're probably familiar with widely used in tv editing that tap into the orienting response. For example panning, zooming, cuts, a moving object between the center of action and the viewer, showing the action in a reflection or through a distorting glass. These edits "glue eyeballs to the screen" by triggering instinctive attentional responses, without viewer volition.
I noticed early on that The Magicians uses what I'll call fragmentation. Action is portrayed as if the character is remembering what happened in bits and pieces, with the "juicy" bits only 3 frames long. Most of the time you can't quite comprehend what's so scary or taboo, because you were barely starting to understand what you were seeing when it disappeared. One is forced to rely on slow motion and even frame-by-frame to really follow the story line.
Extra slow camera movement on a character, <chop> 3 frames of juicy plot action, <cut>extra slow camera movement on the character,<chop> juicy significant 3 or 4 frames, <cut> back to the slow view of the character... and so on. Usually it's Quentin, remembering something like a horrific attack or out-of-character group sex.
Despite being angry about this manipulation, I'm also addicted hooked more than the story warrants. Fragmentation is as powerful and insidious as cognitive dissonance.
Views: 92
Upon further reflection, it has similarities to hazing. The harder you have to struggle to follow the story, the more the story "must" seem worth watching.
Which means it is a form of cognitive dissonance.
Presenting crucial flashbacks almost subliminally -- making viewers struggle to see the plot -- would be a new level of exploitation!
(Are there parallels in literature, where books written in an obtuse style or with disorienting techniques are taken to be "more profound"? But sitting down in front of the TV is much more passive.)
Or are they assuming that "the viewers who matter" have TiVos or other DVRs, and will reach for the remote and replay those sections in slow motion or examine them frame by frame? (Conversely, I've heard of ad producers consciously designing TV commercials to be memorable even when people "zap through" them.)
On ordinary TV techniques that trigger the orienting reflex: I vaguely remember a study, maybe in the '80s or '90s, sometime back when people had to program their VCRs themselves :) finding that people paid much more attention to TV commercials than most shows, and that this was correlated with the frequency of "unnatural" effects that you wouldn't see in the world in real life: cuts, dissolves, zooms, superimposed logos or captions, maybe also an invisible narrator's voice or added music.
The one show that drew as much attention as the ads was Sesame Street, and it turned out to have visual effects as frequently as the commercials, on the order of once a second, vs. only a few times a minute for other shows.

Art walked the runway on April 15 at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft's fifth annual KMAC Couture. As always, the event was a unique way to experience the museum, as it featured and supported emerging and established regional artists, costumers, designers and milliners. The night began with a cocktail reception before guests dressed in shades of white took their seats for the runway show. An after party followed as all celebrated the triumph of singular art in the community.

KRUGER, Annie 1884-1983
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 7/8/2014 at 22:08:05
Annie Kruger, Age 98, Dies
Annie Kruger, age 98, of RR1, Parkersburg, died Wednesday evening, February 23, 1983 at Maple Manor Nursing Home, Aplington.
Funeral services were held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, February 26 at the Christian Reformed Church in Parkersburg with Rev. Harry Vanderaa officiating. Sharon Seehusen was organist and Janet Johnson and Marcia Allspach sang "Going Down The Valley" and "Safe In The Arms Of Jesus."
Casket bearers were Marlin Pruin, Dennis Eiklenborg, Fred Bolhuis, Kenneth Van Hauen, Keith Van Hauen and Kevin Kruger. Interment followed in the Colfax Center Presbyterian Church cemetery, rural Holland.
Annie, the daughter of Walter and Marie Hoyoung Stoppelmoor, was born in Grundy County near Wellsburg, October 29, 1884. She attended rural school near her home.
She was united in marriage to Chris Kruger at the Colfax Center Presbyterian Church on April 23, 1903. They farmed in Colfax township, then operated a meat market in Holland. They returned to farming on several farms south of Parkersburg in the Salem Lutheran and Stout area. She moved to her present farm after the death of her husband in 1941.
Annie suffered from an arthritic condition which rendered her bedfast for several years in her own home. She became a resident of Maple Manor in September of 1975.
She is survived by two sons: Klaas Kruger and Harm Kruger of RR1, Parkersburg; seven daughters, Mrs. Marie Pruis, New Hartford; Mrs. Berdene Bolhuis and Mrs. Leona Decknadel, both of Parkersburg; Jennie, Mrs. Jake Van Hauen, Holland; Gertie, Mrs. Elmer Eiklenborg, Dike; Ruth, Mrs. Kenneth Wendt, Parkersburg; and Anona, Mrs. Harley Knipfel, Ackley; four sisters, Mrs. Hannah Tapper, Mrs. Minnie Bates, and Mrs. Marie Pruisman, all of Webster City; and Mrs. Ruth Meyer of the state of Washington; seventeen grandchildren, twenty-six great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two sons, one in infancy, two sisters and three brothers.

White Denim
In his 1942 essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus wrote that "All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning." 15 years later Richard Wayne Penniman wrote "Wop bop a loo bop a wop bam boom", an undeniably powerful vocalization that on any given Wednesday in any given situation, civilized or otherwise, is still fully capable of setting somebody's stuff aflame. Over ten years and eight long players into their career, White Denim are still in the relentless pursuit of a thread- in other words, a wick.
The band have carefully studied the greatest records ever made, but they write songs just dumb enough to drink, dance, and fight to. Theirs is a music that aims for the whole body, while equally satisfying the mind. While it has morphed, expanded, and even burst apart, White Denim's sincere and human drive and ability to spark exhilaration have been unerring constants of the band's existence.
Now, less than a year after the release of their critically-acclaimed album Performance, the ever-prolific White Denim have released their new album Side Effects via City Slang. More in line with the experimental, freewheeling spirit of their fan-favorite record Last Day of Summer, Side Effects is an album that captures the essence of the band's full-throttle live shows.
Spearheaded by singer-guitarist James Petralli and bassist Steve Terebecki (who tag-teamed production and called in specific talents from their rolodex of musicians), Side Effects has the feeling of a band providing fan service in a way only White Denim could do – by referencing their own material and putting out a record for fans to dig deep into. The 9 original tracks of Side Effects draw on the sounds of different personnel to create a journey through White Denim's range of styles – the result being an album that's as varied and vivacious as anything they've ever done.

The yard is alive with green grass and the scent of flowers, birds, and bees...
The sky is the bluest I have seen in some time with a scattering of white puffy clouds here and there...
The sun warms my face...
And I am lost in thoughts of Bath and Body Works for Fall and Holiday.
Silly, I know. But this happens all of the time. I think because I am more of a fall and holiday fragrance lover over those spring and summer scents. Not only in body care products but also in home fragrance. And with the routine of Bath and Body Works always having their Semi-Annual Sale launching in June, and it is more or less filled up with spring and summer things...I get bored and long for it to be over for the new to come.
I did make a few purchases already from the Semi-Annual Sale, spending more than I thought I would all while trying to hold back for what comes next. If you see my recent purchases you would note it is very little body care and more accessories with plenty of Hand Sanitizers thrown in for good measure.
The first purchase (shown below - $21.22) was on Day Three of the sale and it was hand sanitizers and leftover Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Hand Soaps. This Monday I purchased (shown below - $44.92) more Hand Sanitizers and the Rose Refresher Mist on sale, and the Candle was only 50% off ( odd since it's dated 2017) and the Geo Candle Holder was regular pricing at $18.50. Ugh....but I wanted it to go along with the Gem Candle Sleeve I already had.
So barring any exciting finds in the store during the sale, I may be done with purchases for now.
I have been incredibly busy with all things life related while caring for my elderly father in law now going on a year so I haven't had the chance to make blog posts of things I needed to archive. Add in a wicked case of very painful tennis elbow situation still happening and an arm in a sling...and you have information not getting out there in a timely manner.
Yesterday I shared some briefly on
I know that may appear as a tease without much more to quantify what it means, but that was not my intent. It was my excitement over what we will see coming up and my attempt to share some of that excitement.
I guess I could have said, " Start Saving Your Money For Christmas!".... because it is true.
Yes, I know we have all of July to get through first, and then the Fall Collection of products but....start saving your money for Christmas!
Let me begin with next month...July first.
We know all of the summer-inspired candles that were testing a bit ago did not come out nationwide for the SAS. And we usually have a Summer feel floorset after the sale and before we go all out on fall thinking.
These are those candles -
( with thanks to all who shared them on social media and allowed me to share too)
@_scentsgalore, @heretoday20, @iambored24
- Orange Cream Soda
- Waffle Cone
- Endless Weekend
- Cherry Snow Cone
- Boardwalk
- Pool Party
- Toasted Smores
- Watermelon Lemonade
- Wildflower Meadow
- Campfire Donut
- Citrus and Sandalwood
- In-Tents Coffee
- Flannel
- Marshmallow Musk
- White Caramel Cold Brew
- Vanilla Birch
Also, keep in mind, fall "test" candles launched last year on July 3rd, With the fall signature scents launching July 13th. So we could possibly start seeing this year fall candles test this first week of July.
If you follow me you know I try to keep up with trademark names found to archive them. Not that seeing those names means we will see actual products always...even though we do. Many times the names are for marketing as well or products that may be considered now and get pushed off for another time. So I make note of it for reference for an archive.
Here are some of the more recent names trademarked:
- Pocketbac
- Pocketbac Pals
- Kaleidoscope
- In the Stars
- Niacyl
- Chemistry of Beauty
- Gingham
- Lovely Dreamer
- Pretty as a Peach
- Nordic Escape
- Bubble Cool
- Skin Goals
Some names like Pretty as a Peach, have already been used as products so seeing those and Velvet Sugar mean they could be just reissuing the trademark for the product. Nothing new or fantastic.
The ducky on the water is most likely a logo for marketing...maybe for a design label.
Skin Goals, Chemistry of Beauty, Pocketbac and Pocketbac Pals, I think are also marketing.
Niacyl could be a new skin care regime, so we will see what that is about.
When I read the word Gingham earlier in the year I thought, what a perfect name for a signature body care collection. I haven't heard if it's something that is coming...but it should.
I thought the Lovely Dreamer would be a cute body care collection for summertime. I haven't heard anything about that yet.
When I read IN THE STARS...I thought it was a body care collection that could be coming for Summer because of all of the ( at the beach, in the sun, on the waves....blah, blah...) and I was incorrect. It is coming for Holiday.
For some time now, District Managers were sharing the little insider bottles of In the Stars with their stores to prep them for the release in a few weeks. I am getting rave...rave reviews from those who have tried it and have been sharing what they think with me. I am very excited to smell it myself and fingers crossed it works with my chemistry.
I was told it was feminine yet fresh and effervescent while staying fresh even on dry down where others tend to get musky. I don't yet have scent notes but I will share those as soon as I hear.
And Kaleidscope is also a new signature fragrance coming. When it launches, I am not sure, but I would guess closer to holiday with a name like that.
Manarchy and Nordic Escape are Men's scent names and I have a good feeling they will launch for holiday gift giving or later. Bath and Body Works does like adding/testing new men's products and hopefully these will go wide...unlike the whole Men's Fragrance Lemon ( which was C.O.Bigelow Lime Coriander by the way ) that tested and never went nationwide. Only the stores that tested it had it for the Semi-Annual Sale bins.
So for July, we know to watch for:
- A new Fragrance Launch, In The Stars
- New Three Wick Summer Candles
- A possible launch of fall scents test candles
Throughout the month of July, we will start to see more fall-related items filter in.
I wondered if we would see:
A Fourth of July Americana Inspired Candle, and Hand Soap in some Apple Scent. We did get the Peace Pocketbac.
A Summer Themed VIP Beach Tote
A release / "test" of the Fall Traditions Body Care scents - and please...if they do Fall Traditions Body Care Collection let them all be Full Sized with great labels. No more of these skinny fragrance mist bottles and off looking travel size products.
I can't remember when I shared it was coming on my social media ( a few weeks now) without looking back but I was told that Forever Red is returning for Holiday and it will be in the signature body care packaging. So I am guessing no more fancy bottle with the pesky ribbon that kept poking me and breaking off. Yay. I know all that went into making the original product, I happened to see the home office video prior to the launch ( a former store manager who was invited to home office shared it with me) to better understand the high-end products it took to smell the way it did. I hope that this revival of it is only a change of the packaging and not of the fragrance quality.
Recently, stores have been conducting surveys on the upcoming Holiday products. From candle scent names and labels to body care.
A friend alerted me to the candle survey that was happening in Florida a week or so ago and I think in one more location. If you participate in the survey, you can't share the names or information. But those who passed by and did not take the survey have shared a few names with me. I don't want to post them yet but I heard some scents that are familiar are getting a new name while other scents are new, New. I will share them when I get more. And the collections will be adorable as we have come to expect from Bath and Body Works.
Can we hope for anything better than some New NEW?
Now body care that was surveyed included one that we were excited to have out last year but it didn't make the cut...but now it is. If you can remember way back then when I shared it, you will be excited. I know I am!!!
In looking back on last years posts from this time of year we also had new Aromatherapy launch so with holidays coming I can see more new packaging or maybe a new scent or two being added. I do love the Aromatherapy products, so I am hoping to see them in both body care and home fragrance.
Now I did not (yet) hear about Halloween and what we will see but if plans are to make things bigger than last year I hope they are reading our social media requests and make Halloween HUGE too. We need plenty of fragrance!!! And cute pocketbac stickers for ME.
These next few weeks/months will go by quickly and if things go as they did last year new things should be popping up everywhere. As I find out the new I promise I will get the information out. And thank you to all who share their finds with me so I may share with everyone. I truly appreciate the community that has come together over Home Fragrance and Body Care Products.
Hugs for now...Tess

Its February 17, 2006 and I'm winding down this
Cisco Academy course I attended which lasted for a
year. I attended all day classes every Saturdays
for a whole straight year!
The Cisco Academy course demanded a lot of
to satisfactorily complete the program. Numerous Case
Studies, Four Final exams, bunch of Hands-On
Scenario exams, just to get this piece of Certificate.
Yes that's a whole lot of Saturdays that I could have
spent with my family. Time spent spent with Gloria and
the three kids.
I promise, after this course, no more weekend courses!
Although, it is inherent that Information Technology
Industry Professionals must 'keep up' with the fast
changing technologies to be competitive in this kind
of profession or else risk getting that pink slip when
its time for lay-offs.
That means studying and keeping your IT Certification
Of course Experience is also a vital element in the
mix of things that make a person marketable.
After this course what's next ?
Hmmm... I enrolled in an Online Microsoft Server 2003
class since I work in a Windows platform house.
I'll let you know how this next class is going.
I'll post my experiences in my next Blog.
