St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 14, 2013 – Washington University in St. Louis freshman middle hitter Caroline Dupont and sophomore middle hitter Jackie Nelligan were each selected to the 2013 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division III All-Central Region First Team, while senior outside hitter Meghan Byrne received all-region honorable mention honors, as announced Thursday by the Association.
Dupont, the lone freshman on the 14-person all-Central Region team, was also named the Central Region Freshman of the Year. She is the fourth WUSTL player in school history to receive Central Region Freshman of the Year honors, joining Colleen Winter (2001), Kelly Pang (2009) and Byrne (2010). Nelligan was one of two sophomores selected to the all-Central Region team, while Byrne picked up the third all-region honor of her career on with the honorable mention nod. She is the 17th player in school history to receive all-region honors at least three times in her career. Dupont and Nelligan were named to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) first team, while Byrne was on the second team, announced Tuesday.
Dupont, who was also the co-UAA Rookie of the Year, leads Washington U. and ranks second in the UAA and 38th in NCAA Division III with a .352 hitting percentage in her first collegiate season. She is also second on the team with 349 kills and 101 blocks, and has hit .500 or better in 10 matches this season. Her 0.86 blocks per set (third) and 2.96 kills per set (seventh) also rank in the top-10 in the UAA. Dupont was named the UAA Athlete of the Week four times during the season, and was selected as the AVCA Division III National Player of the Week Sept. 10.
Nelligan ranks second in the UAA with 0.90 blocks per set and is tied for fifth with a .324 hitting percentage this season. She ranks third on the team with 275 kills and has a team-best 103 blocks. Nelligan recorded the first double-double of her career with 15 kills and a career-high 11 blocks in the Bears' five-set win at then-No. 18 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Oct. 11. She has recorded double-digit kills in 11 matches in 2013. Nelligan has been selected to three all-tournament teams this season, and was named the UAA Athlete of the Week Sept. 30.
Byrne, who also received all-Central Region honors in 2010 and 2011, became the 23rd player in school history to surpass 1,000 career kills by tallying a career-high 22 in the season opener against Webster University Aug. 31. She currently ranks 12th on Washington University's career kills list (1,258) and is eighth on the Bears' career attacks list (3,228). Byrne leads the Bears with 45 service aces this season, and ranks third in the UAA with 0.41 aces per set. She is also third on the team with 2.46 kills per set. Byrne has recorded two double-doubles this season and was named the UAA Athlete of the Week Sept. 3.
Washington University (26-7) begins the 2013 NCAA Division III Volleyball Championship by taking on Wisconsin-Whitewater at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Elmhurst, Ill., Regional.

Can anyone recommend me a good, reliable Broadband and Telephone provider?
I was with Plusnet for eight years, very happily, until they became part of BT and service plummeted. I would be promised "an Outreach Engineer will be with you before 6 pm this evening", when – as I live near their depot – I knew they had all gone home at 3 pm. Plusnet seemed scared to challenge BT, so I left.
Then I tried Virgin. Of course, they promised me the earth. As they were much more expensive than Plusnet, I thought this would mean more reliable service – how stupid can I be!!! For weeks my Internet has been going off for hours at a time; each time I wait, and wait to talk to someone – but why I bother I don't know. Apparently the 'outage' will last for another four days (how can they tell?) and then be OK, when I am then due a minuscule refund – ha! Obviously their Engineers don't work over the weekend.
Today I start asking for compensation. Virgin has this all worked out! I am told that as soon as the problem is fixed, someone will call me. But as they NEVER bother to call me back, I know this won't happen and I won't be compensated for anything.
In order to sign up for Virgin's service for disabled, I had to pay my GP to write a letter to confirm I was disabled, and I was then on Virgin's register. The services they could offer sounded so good I got onto their Press Office and said I would like to write about this. But, as I have discovered, this means only my phone is supposedly attended to urgently – but for anything else forget it. The promised team of 'Virgin's own expert engineers' don't seem to be around.
Incidentally,although Virgin supposedly has me on its 'disabled' register, its 'customer service staff' are hopeless at dealing with us. We have to wait – and wait – to report a fault, and then go through a long list of unhelpful time wasting questions before they will answer simple enquiries about when service will be restored. And as for SORRY – Virgin don't understand the word.
And the stupid questions! What is the point of asking "are you the account holder?" Suppose it's a Carer phoning?
NHS wants us to use IT.
I had set up a good system with most of my 12 Consultant's offices sending me emails about appointments, tests due, info after my last appointment, etc. This could work well, but if I can't access the Internet it won't.
I did get Virgin to refund me the GP's letter fee as they had mis-represented their service, but if there is a problem I get onto a call centre that assumes I am fully able and can go to alter the hub (in another room) etc. without having to worry about getting up and moving around. Or go and find my account number – again filed away in another room. OK, I could carry this info around, but I often phone lying flat on my back from bed as it is most comfortable position as one usually waits a minimum of 20 – 30 minutes to be connected, and I don't have any way of carrying this stuff around.
And then, after trying to explain for the umpteenth time what's wrong, I keep on being asked "what's the 2nd and 6th words of your password?" Really easy for me,when I can't even remember which password I used to set up service! And ask the call centre, "did I use xxxxx?" They unhelpfully say they can't help. Just to find out what's wrong.
Of course, they are hoping you will close the call out of frustration and then they are off the hook.
Last month my Internet connection went down for over a week; Virgin gave me a derisory discount and basically told me that although I have been repeatedly in touch – no-one had bothered to note my calls, so I would only be credited from July 28th – the date I had finally exploded.
Helpful staff
In all my interminable problems with Virginmedia, I have made contact with some staff who were incredibly helpful – and honest: Rick Astley, Andy Mochaf and Shane, and Ken Dugdale. All told me if I had more problems to get in touch; but as a lowly customer you are blocked from doing this, and each time the service goes down you go through all the rigmarole of security checks, are you the account holder? and other time wasting, etc. Last time I asked to speak to one of the helpful lot I was told "you are not allowed to talk to them" .
I sent a desperate email to the address on their website for the CEO (never received a reply from him). It itemised major phone calls I had made and spent a lot of time veryfying dates etc.
Last year I was 4,000 feet up in a little clinic in the Austrian Alps, turned on their WiFi and it worked immediately. If a tiny village can manage to offer a competent service, why can't Virgin do this in the middle of London?
What would help
- Provider work with the NHS, who are trying to get us to use IT for communicating
- Open an office to deal with disabled customers and work out what 'security' questions we can answer easily
- Don't promise what you can't deliver
- Provide an email in case callers find it difficult to hold a telephone for the half-an-hour it takes to answer. FYI it might be email@example.com – but I don't hold out much hope as the call centre weren't sure!
Does anyone know if there is any company that offers a reliable WORKING Internet service? Let me know on email@example.com

Step 1Wipe the turkey inside and out with a damp paper towel. Place the turkey on a tray and rub the skin thoroughly with the cut lemon.
Step 2In a small bowl, mix together half of the olive oil along with the garlic, chili pepper, salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Rub the marinade evenly inside and outside the bird, reserving any that remains. Put the bunch of rosemary in the cavity and truss the bird. Cover it loosely with foil and leave for 1 hour at room temperature.
Step 3Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step 4In a large roasting pan, toss the onions with the remaining olive oil and set the turkey on the onions, breast-side-down. Baste the turkey with remaining marinade. Roast it, basting often, for about 1 hour until the back (upper side) of the bird is well-browned. With a large spoon and fork (and maybe the help of another person), turn the turkey breast-side-up. Baste the turkey from time to time and roast until meat starts to shrink from the drumstick bones and the juices run clear, 45 minutes to an hour. A meat thermometer inserted in the thigh should read 160 degrees. If the turkey colors too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. If the onions start to scorch toward the end of roasting, add a cup of chicken broth to the pan. While the turkey roasts, prepare the mushrooms.
Step 1Pick over the mushrooms, trimming tough ends and brushing them to remove any dirt (do not wash them). In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the mushrooms with 1 teaspoon salt and one-eighth teaspoon pepper. Saute the mushrooms over medium heat, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the garlic and shallots over them and cook until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid they produce has evaporated, another 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. The mushrooms can be cooked a day ahead; let them cool, then wrap and refrigerate them. To reheat, place the mushrooms back in the pan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes until warmed through, stirring frequently. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
Step 1When the turkey is done, transfer the bird to a tray to catch any juices and cover the bird loosely with foil. Drain any excess fat from the pan, leaving the juices.
Step 2Make the gravy: If the onions and pan juices are not browned, brown them on the stove top over high heat 5 to 10 minutes if necessary. Add the wine to the hot pan, stirring to dissolve any flavorful bits that stick to the bottom of the pan and boil until reduced by about half, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3Meanwhile, boil the chicken broth in a small pan until reduced by half. Add the broth to pan juices and taste: If the flavors are too bland, continue to boil a few more minutes to concentrate the flavors.
Step 4In a small bowl, crush the butter with a fork and work in flour to make a paste. Add any juices from the cooked turkey to the simmering pan juices. Whisk in pieces of the butter, working over the heat so the butter melts and distributing the flour to thicken the gravy evenly. Add butter until the gravy is thickened to the consistency you like. Simmer it 1 to 2 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning. Strain the gravy into a saucepan for reheating and cover. (The turkey and gravy can be cooked a day ahead up to this point; cool them to room temperature, wrap and store in the refrigerator.)
Step 5About 1 1/2 hours before serving, heat oven to 375 degrees and prepare to wrap the turkey in foil. Arrange 2 long strips of foil lengthwise, overlapping slightly, and 1 long strip crosswise across the middle two (make sure each strip is large enough to wrap around the turkey). Unwrap the turkey and place it in the center of the foil. Brush the breast and legs with gravy and wrap very tightly. Set the package in a roasting pan or tray to catch drips and reheat in oven about 1 hour until turkey is steaming and a skewer inserted between the thigh and the body is hot to the touch when withdrawn after 30 seconds. Transfer the turkey to a large, warm platter, cover loosely with foil and keep in a warm place.
Step 6While the turkey is reheating, warm the remaining gravy in the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 7In a medium fry pan, reheat the mushrooms over medium heat until warmed, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 8Adjust the seasoning for the gravy and pour it into bowls for serving.
Step 9Discard the trussing and rosemary from the turkey. Garnish the platter with the mushrooms. Carry the turkey in triumph to the table.

Have you ever hit rock bottom? Have you ever felt too far away to call on God? I sure have. I wish I could say it was only one time and I learned my lesson but so far the counter is still ticking. There are so many time and places that our life paths can get derailed by the enemy. He convinces us that we should step out on our own. We should run our own life.
You may have been taken in by some financial scheme that sounded great and promised to improve your money situation. Maybe you thought that credit card offer or that easy-to-get loan was the answer. It was the quick fix to get you back on your feet. You found out later that it plunged you deeper into debt and there didn't seem to be any way out. You felt that you had fallen too far away to ask for help.
You may have been taken in by some relationship promises where you found someone who would be so great if only you could help them change. Maybe you thought it was you who needed to change. You may have put all your eggs in one basket only to discover that divorce was looming or a breakup was impending. You tried to convince yourself that if you just kept plugging away, things would be better. You felt lonelier than you ever had before. You felt like the dark was closing around you.
You may have decided to take a job that you thought would be your dream job. You brushed away the red flags that threatened to block the view of the top that you would surely have if you just jumped on this bandwagon. The distance wouldn't be too far. After all, you could use the quiet time in the car. The pay wasn't so bad. Surely, they'd give you a raise after they saw how amazing you were. The reputation of the boss didn't matter. You wouldn't have to deal with him or her on too many occasions. When the stress and anxiety overwhelmed you, you realized this job had taken you further away from where you wanted to be.
In these instances, there is one thing that should have happened before the decision was made. Prayer. Praying for wisdom and praying for God's guidance are sure-fire ways to get those feet of yours on a right path. When we listen to the enemy, he convinces us we don't need to ask for help. Maybe you did ask for guidance and wisdom but then ignored all the signs saying, "Surely this doesn't apply to me." We want God to want it our way too.
I am encouraged as I ponder the view from the bottom. You see, I have always known the story of Jonah and the Whale from the Bible but I never knew the story of Jonah. God told Jonah to go somewhere and do something for Him. Jonah flat-out refused and high-tailed it the other direction. Sound familiar? God sent the storm that caused Jonah to be thrown over the side of the boat and sink to the bottom of the Earth. The furthest, physical place from God. But do you know where God was? He was right there with Jonah. Right there in the belly of that fish at the bottom of the ocean. He wanted to give Jonah another chance. He did give Jonah another chance. He wants to give you another chance too. Take it.
Jonah 2:4-6 I said, "I have been banished from your sight; but I will look again toward your holy temple. The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit."

Sedimentation in the Tamar estuary has been an ongoing issue for many decades, and is of particular concern to the community for its impact on the recreational an aesthetic values of the estuary.
This project is assessing the feasibility of applying chemical fingerprints to determine the provenance of suspended sediments delivered to the Tamar estuary from the Esk catchment and is being conducted as part of a University of Tasmania PhD study.
It is proposed that potential sources of sediment (e.g. surface soils, channel banks, river beds) within the Esk catchment be identified and characterised by chemical and physical means to enable establishment of sediment fingerprints. Collection and analysis of suspended sediment samples from major rivers within the catchment would then enable determination of the provenance of the suspended sediment using the established source sediment fingerprints.
The project is focussing on the upper South Esk catchment, including the Break O'Day sub-catchment, as a means of assessing the feasibility of applying chemical fingerprints to determine the provenance of suspended sediments to the South Esk River.
The big picture
The project will focus on surface geology and land systems as the prime determinants of sample site selection in an effort to best discriminate between potential sediment sources throughout the catchment. By considering land systems as well as geology the sampling will consider a broader, more distinctive range of potential sources, with land systems also incorporating rainfall, altitude and topography, as well as geology, into sample site selection.
Land use will not be considered in the selection of sample sites, but can be overlaid on the GIS system to see if land uses fall into particular geologies or land systems.
Why this activity is important
Sedimentation in the Tamar estuary has been an ongoing issue for many decades, and is of particular concern to the community for its impact on the recreational an aesthetic values of the estuary. A potential outcome of the project will be an improved understanding of the source(s) of sediments to the Tamar and the ability to better manage sediment inputs.
What has been solved
Initial plans to focus sampling on suspended sediments in rivers proved to be problematic for a number of reasons, with a major issue being that the low suspended sediment loads during times other than peak flow events made it difficult to acquire sufficient sediment for chemical analysis. Whilst this method would have provided a more effective means of sampling source sediments, e.g. by including natural size fractionation and weathering processes into the sampling process, the potential variation in sediment source contributions during flow events and across seasons would have also provided additional complications in differentiating sediment sources, hence the decision to sample surface geologies.
What we have achieved
After initial soil sampling in the upper South Esk catchment in December 2010, work has focussed on expanding the study area down to the confluence of, and including, the Break O'Day River. Extensive consideration has been given to the establishment of a practical source geology basis set, with four source geologies chosen (S1 = basic igneous; S2 = acid igneous; S2 = sedimentary rocks; S4 = Quaternary sediments). The area under consideration is 1018km2 with the source geologies accounting for 970km2, or approximately 95per cent of this study area (S1 = 190km2; S2 = 103km2; S3 = 503km2; S4 = 175km2). A total of 55 sample sites have been identified (S1 = 10; S2 = 10; S3 = 20; S4 = 15) with surface and sub-surface samples to be collected from each site, after which samples will be dried, sieved to less than 63 microns and chemically analysed (HF digestion and ICP-MS analysis; LOI analysis). Sample sites have been chosen to ensure that source variances due to geological and geographical differences can be identified, and then statistical tests can be undertaken to determine if significant differences in sediment chemistry exist between the proposed source geologies.
Lessons learnt
There are a total of 29 geological identities in the study basin, six are common across all five catchments (-Rsp, Czc, Jdtm, Psp, Qa, Qrc) and one geology (Czb) is found in all catchments except Brumbys, whilst another (Cz) is found only in the Brumbys, Macquarie and South Esk catchments. There are a number of geologies found only in one or two catchments (Qs in Macquarie and North Esk; Nsg in Brumbys; -COsd, -Csr, Mst, Nsoo, Qsg in Meander; ODsm in South Esk and North Esk; Dfmy, Qdc in South Esk), including the granites which are found only in the South Esk and/or North Esk. Three granites of the study basin are common to both the South Esk and North Esk catchments (Dgrh, Dgrr, Dgrt), whilst six are specific to the South Esk (Dfmy, Dggy, Dghe, Dghy, Dgyi, Dgyr) and three are specific to the North Esk (Dgru, Dgud, Dgup). In general the distribution of surface geologies is also consistent with an altitudinal distribution. Since altitude correlates positively with precipitation, the two major erosion predispositions (geology and climate) are accounted for through consideration of the geologies alone. The main exception is Jurassic dolerite (Jdtm), also known for its mineral variability, which has a Midlands plains distribution as well as montane distributions, but consideration of land systems will take into account these different altitudinal distributions, thus use of surface geology and land systems as the prime determinants of sample site selection should provide a discriminate between potential sediment sources throughout the catchment.

Haas, Fognini advance to BMW Open semifinals
MUNICH (AP) -- Defending champion Tommy Haas reached the semifinals of the BMW Open by defeating Andreas Seppi 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 on Friday.
The 36-year-old Haas converted three of his seven break points to beat the seventh-seeded Italian in under two hours. He will face Slovakian qualifier Martin Klizan, who defeated Denis Istomin 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-1 in their quarterfinal.
The second-seeded Haas, who defeated fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber in the final last year, is making his comeback from a right shoulder injury.
Top-seeded Fabio Fognini eased into the final four with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Brazilian qualifier Thomaz Bellucci. The Italian will next face German qualifier Jan Lennard-Struff, who came from a set down to beat Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Choosing a stats test
Don't Panic - it's just a matter of following a simple flowchart
Which stats test should I use?
The decision about which stats test to use for your project or investigation can seem daunting as there are quite a few to choose from. However, by following a few simple steps you can pin down the correct one quite easily. It is important to put this decision into the planning stage of your investigation and not leave it until you have collected a pile of data!
It is easy to break down the decision into a series of steps - at each stage you answer a simple question about your investigation. To do this you need to understand a very small amount of terminology. If you are familiar with some of the terms then you can go straight to the decision tree right now. Otherwize you may wish to work through the following paragraphs to familiarize yourself with some of the terms.

Type of investigation:
The first decision is to decide what sort of investigation you are dealing with. We can split into two main types - differences or similarities.
In all cases you have measure or counted one thing and wish to compare this factor across two samples. It is possible to have more than two samples, e.g. you may have looked at how many bluebells there were in different woods, oak, ash and beech. In general it's best to stick with just two things. These sorts of investigation can be best summed up using a bar chart.
Back to Top.
Number of samples:
Usually you will have two samples - you will be comparing two things. For example you might be comparing the size of oak leaves from trees in a plantation to trees out in the open (by themselves), you may be comparing the number of millipedes in leaf litter from conifer woods to deciduous woods. Sometimes you may wish to look at more than two things. You may want to look at how the type of soil affects plant growth. You might have peat, coir, compost and regular soil - four things! It is perfectly possible to do this but there are pitfalls. Your final analysis will firstly tell you if there is a difference between the four (in this case) but not necessarily which ones. You will have to do further analyses to pick out where the differences are. More importantly, your sampling effort will be spread out over four samples - you will have fewer data in each sample than if you stuck to two things. It would be a lot better to collect 10 readings from two of the soil types than to get 5 from each of the four.
Back to Top.
Matched pairs:
Sometimes the readings/data you collect form what are known as matched pairs. This is where the reading from one sample is matched up with one specific reading from the second sample. An example might be where you looked at the abundance of moss on trees - you determined how much moss was on the north-facing side and the south-facing side of a number of trees. The readings from each tree naturally form matching pairs. Perhaps you looked at the amount of lichen on the to sides of gravestones in a church yard - the readings from the two sides are naturally closely connected. You may have looked at the size of ivy leaves on two sides of a wall (north and south facing). in this case the two samples are not matched pairs! There is no reason why any particular measurement on the north side should be tied to a particular measurement on the south. If you had several walls and each pair was at the same position along the wall then you'd be safe to say they were matched. With a single wall you are on dodgy ground (although it's a perfectly good example of a "differences" investigation). Sometimes you may look at a situation over time - that may be a matched pair too. For example, you might wish to look at butterfly visits to patches of flowers at different times of day (morning and afternoon). If you had several patches of flowers then your "morning" and "afternoon" readings could be considered as matched pairs (same place, different time).
In general it's best to treat all situations as not matched unless you can be absolutely certain that your readings really "match up".
Back to Top.
Type of data:
There are three main types of data (and you thought they were all just numbers!). They are: interval, ordinal and categorical.
The bottom line is that you can order the data into size order but you cannot do proper maths on the data because the interval varies between the categories.
What you have is categorical data - the birds are one category and the habitats are the other category. It's the arrangement that makes the data categorical. Another example of this sort of arrangement comes when you are looking for the presence or absence of something. You may take a small square (a quadrat) and put it on the ground. There will be a number of plant species in the square - you mark a tick if a species is present, leave a blank if it's not. You do this lots more times. Later on you can determine how many quadrats contained each species. You can also determine how many quadrats contained two particular species at the same time (and how many contained neither). Your categories are now the presence and the absence of species one and the presence and absence of the species two. Another sort of categorical experiment crops up in genetics. You might expect a certain pattern to occur in a hybrid of two different plants for example. So, if you know the ratio of plant types (e.g. flower colour) expected by the genetics you can carry out a goodness of fit test on the actual ratio of observed plant types in your experiment. In this case the categories would be the plant types (there is only one category here as opposed to the previous examples).
|Back to Top.
Distribution of data:
Whenever you collect some data you end up with a whole bunch of numbers. The distribution refers to how many times each number crops up - it's shorthand for frequency distribution. Often you don't count up how many times each individual number occurs but rather you cerate small categories or bins - each bin contains a range of numbers (e.g. 0-3, 4-7, 8-11 and so on). The usual thing is to create at least 9-10 of these bins. If you do a bar chart of the frequencies (properly called a histogram) you can see how many times each number (rather range of numbers) crops up. If you see a pattern where the middle of the graph shows a distinct hump, with the sides tailing off equally, you have probably got what is called normal distribution.The features of this sort of distribution are well know mathematically and some statistics tests make use of this (another name for the distribution is parametric). Things that tend to be normally distributed are weight and height.
However, you may see that the hump where the greatest number of data items lie is not in the middle but rather neare to one end. This sample is showing a skewed distribution.The numbers are not distributed symmetrically around the middle point but lumped towards one end. This sort of distribution is also known as non-parametric.
Of course you will not know in advance if your data are going to be normally distributed or not. However, it is possible to have a good guess. This is where a pilot study is useful as it can help to determine if your data are parametric or not. Some sorts of data are not usually parametric. If you were comparing the numbers of freshwater shrimps in open water to shady sites your data are not likely to be parametric. Counting of animals rarely is, you tend to get sudden "lumps". If you are measuring the coverage of plant species and using the % of the ground occupied by each plant you are also unlikely to get normally distributed data. In this case the % can never be less than zero or much above 100% (you can get >100% with overlapping plants) - this means that the ends of your distribution are "fixed". Ordinal data that have been converted to a rank order are also not normally distributed. You could convert an ACFOR scale to a numerical scale (0-5) with A = 5, C = 4 and so on but the data would not be parametric.
In summary: you should check the frequency distribution of your data. Interval data may be normally distributed (i.e. symmetrical around a central hump) or may be skewed. Ordinal data are always non-parametric.
Back to Top.
Amount of data:
In general the more data you collect the better. However, in practice you have limited time to spend collecting data. Each statistical test has a set of requirements, some tests need to have >30 measurements for example and so if you had less then you would have to select a different analysis. It's a good idea to estimate how long it's going to take you to collect some data and then work out how much you can do in the time available. If you do a pilot study you will have a good idea if your target is achievable.

A group of students from Clifton Hunter High School made a study visit to the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park as part of their mini-gardens practical project last month.
As part of the project, the seven students, five from Year 8, one from Year 9 and one from Year 11, designed and created their own mini-gardens with guidance from Department of Education School Inclusion specialist teachers Nigel Cox and June South-Robinson. Mr. Cox and Ms. South-Robinson led the visit to the park on March 28, with the support of school counselor Susan Lees.
All the students taking part in the project work with the School Inclusion Team, which is part of the Cayman Islands Behaviour Support Service. The service provides specialist support in all the government schools and works with students who the school feels will benefit from some additional input in order to thrive and achieve their potential.
Mr. Cox told the Cayman Compass that the students' involvement in the mini-gardens project had been prompted by an invitation from the Garden Club of Grand Cayman to participate in its 60th annual show.
During the visit to the Botanic Park, the students met with park manager John Lawrus, who gave an informative introduction to several aspects of the park and a practical demonstration of how plants are helped to develop in the plant nursery.
"The mini-garden project was used as an opportunity for students to work in teams to show their creative and practical skills, whilst developing their self-management skills, organizational skills and boosting their self-confidence," said Mr. Cox.
"This fits … alongside the regular group work and one-to-one work which the students undertake with the specialist staff from the [service]."
Mr. Cox noted that this is the first time that a group from Clifton Hunter has become involved in such a project.
"We seized the opportunity to partner with the Botanic Park, who provided many of the plants we used," said Mr. Cox. During the visit, the students were shown areas of the park, which provided inspiration for their own creations, and they were able to learn important basic scientific principles, which will help them to care for their own mini-gardens as they continue to grow.
"Importantly, students have also learned about the importance of caring for the plants' natural habitats in order to support the local ecosystems," said Mr. Cox.
"Material used by the students to make containers for the mini-gardens, with a little help from technology teachers at the school, were entirely recycled or re-used, which added to the environmentally friendly message of the project."
The five mini-gardens were entered into the Garden Club of Grand Cayman's Children's Competition at the Club's 60th anniversary show, which was held at South Sound Community Centre on March 31 and April 1.
Mr. Cox said visiting the Garden Club Show was also an ideal opportunity to practice the social skills the students have been learning as part of their school's "Respect 24/7" initiative, which is part of the Education Department's strategy for Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports, for which both Mr. Cox and Ms. South-Robinson are area coaches.
All the hard work paid off as the Clifton Hunter students were awarded two first prizes, one third prize and two Highly Commended ribbons for their mini-gardens.
"Both the school and the park are keen to develop this partnership, and next term the students will be making further visits to the park in connection with the development of the park's exciting large-scale Children's Garden," said Mr. Cox.
"All the students say they have enjoyed the experience and they are looking forward to working in partnership with the Botanic Park on the Children's Garden. We are also hoping to continue our link with the Garden Club and are exploring possibilities in that regard. In the meantime, ideas for next year's mini-gardens are already being discussed."

Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) Pilot
The FTI pilot is the only fully-bottom-up measure in Horizon 2020 promoting close-to-the-market innovation activities that is open to all types of participants. FTI aims to reduce the time from idea to market and to increase the participation in Horizon 2020 of industry, SMEs and first-time industry applicants.
FTI also aims to nurture trans-disciplinary and cross-sector approaches. All kinds of innovation actors can work together to develop sustainable innovations addressing societal needs or areas under 'Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies' and, at the same time, create viable business opportunities. This is why FTI projects must be business-driven and clearly demonstrate a realistic potential for quick deployment and market take-up of innovations.
On offer is a maximum EU contribution of €3M per proposal with time-to-grant of around 6 months.
Proposals for funding must be submitted by consortia comprising between three and five legal entities established in at least three different EU Member States or countries associated to Horizon 2020. Within each consortium there must either be an allocation of at least 60% of the budget to industry participants or the consortium must include a minimum of two industry participants in a consortium of three or four partners, or three industry participants in a consortium of five partners.
Launched on 6th January 2015, proposals can be submitted at any time during the two-year pilot with ranking following three cut-off dates in 2015: April 29, September 1 and December 1.The three cut-off dates for 2016 will be made public at a later time.
SMEs and first-time industry applicants are particularly invited to submit proposals.

Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation —
the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in
the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up
Chris Kraus tells me it's how Susan Sontag got her start. "It's fun! Like poetry. Naming things." It's September twenty-something which means I'm about halfway through the month of Fashion Week runway reporting I'd agreed to. In New York, that meant going to some of the shows. Overseas, I'm left only with images. All the better to consider the clothes, really— alone with an HD stream, no immediate mediation of the self to distract; have you noticed it's not even "Can I take your picture?" anymore, it's a gesture into a frame?
Every evening, I go through the shows (five, eight, twelve of them) on one half of my screen while Louie plays on the other; balance. Every morning, I wake up around six and try to find the words—
The Margiela house team reassured this season with familiar fabrics from the days when their anonymous leader once led and cocooning dresses that recalled the comforts of bed. From the house that brought us the duvet coat, comes the Snuggie gown: a gloved, floor-grazing cape dress in consciousness-calming pale blue…
Translating the language of fashion into word language is like poetry; it can make you feel nuts.
New York and London down. I'm into Milan and seeing things like never before. Garments are signs and they are everywhere. Dollar signs. Identity markers. Time stamps. In the language of fashion, information is compressed, communicated through texture, print, color, and cut; through brand, designer, and season; through each element's relation to the body (whose body?) and juxtaposition with nearby referents. This information is dissociative. People are sloppy with their referents. But on the runway you should expect intentionality, you can unravel the signs and write… poetry.
I requested an interview with Chris Kraus because she is the most important. My profile on her is still to come. I have to finish her canon first. And fashion keeps getting in the way. It nevers stops. It's Pre-fucking-Fall 2013 now.
Sarah Mower says that Grace Coddington is a storyteller and Joan Didion says that, "we tell ourselves stories in order to live." I was making associations ("The Chanel pink of Marge Simpson's discount rack Chanel suit. Barbie doll pink. The pink of my Kinklab bondage tape, which I only bought because they were out of the black, the shiny PVC black like the punk rock electrical tape that covered the Chanel/Barbie/Pepto pink gauze of Christopher Kane's very pretty Clueless suit.") that made me question: Am I reading too much into this? Telling myself stories in order to live through this? Am I crazy or am I speaking truth to beauty? Or maybe the line between delusion and fantasy is make believe? Kraus' reply to my Fashion Week whine of semiotic exhaustion—her simple "it's fun exclamation point"—was the poetic license I needed.
That September, Chris Kraus gave me two more invaluable pieces of advice: 1) Read Tiqqun's Preliminary Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl and 2) Go see the Bernadette Corporation retrospective 2000 Wasted Years at Artists Space in Soho, New York. Theory of the Young-Girl changed everything (i.e. fuck Empire, fuck more, laugh more). 2000 Wasted Years reinforced that everything.
You have less than one week left to go see Bernadette Corporation's retrospective 2000 Wasted Years at Artists Space before it closes on December 16th. Go to fucking see Bernadette Corporation's retrospective 2000 Wasted Years at Artists Space before it closes on December 16th. Please.
Bernadette Corporation was founded in 1994 on the premise that "behind the blank and anonymous corporate façade was wide-open space, a wilderness where anything goes." Bernadette Corporation (BC) is, for lack of a better term, an artists collective but its communality has more in common with anonymous cohorts like Tiqqun (a faction of the post-Situationist militants of the Imaginary Party) than with art world collabs like the Guerilla Girls or General Idea; the latter two use collectivity to reflect back on the art world, to make art through activism, while BC uses collectivity to evade the depoliticization of the art world, to make activism through art.
The cast of Bernadette Corporation has shifted over the years with its most-quiet namesake, Bernadette Van-Huy, being the constant. In its present form, the form that put on 2000 Wasted Years, BC consists of Bernadette Van-Huy, Antek Walczak, and John Kelsey.
As Bernadette Corporation's members have shifted, so has its practice. The origins of BC go back to Club USA and the early-to-mid '90s downtown New York party scene. They threw a party called "Fun." Between 1995 and 1997, BC ran a women's fashion line. Between 1999 and 2001, they turned to publishing, printing three issues of a fashion-art-music-critique magazine called Made in USA, named after "the worst movie Jean-Luc Godard ever made" (once untraceable, all three issues are now available in ebook form from Badlands Unlimited.) In the summer of 2001, the collective temporarily merged with Tiqqun. They turned to filmmaking. Their major release was Get Rid of Yourself (2003), a coming together of protest footage from the 2001 G8 summit Genoa rioting and peacenik anti-globalization action, also starring Chloë Sevigny. In 2004, BC published Reena Spaulings, a novel purportedly composed by up to 50 unnamed authors. Its title-subject is an underwear model. Its true subject is concurrent (post-9/11) New York. (Reena Spaulings is The Great Gatsby of our times.) Around the same time, BC moved into the art gallery setting. In 2004, they showed The Complete Poem (an epic poem plus a mock co-opted-youth fashion campaign, think '90s Calvin Klein or Ryan McgInley) at Greene Naftali Gallery. More recently, at the Galerie Neu in Berlin, they showed bathroom fixtures engraved with web comments on Rihanna and reviews from Amazon.
All of these phases are documented in 2000 Wasted Years. The show consists of artifacts from each phase (video reels, dressed mannequins, sink faucets) but the driving force—what takes up the most space and time—is a timeline, a museum-standard series of placards that guide you chronologically through the collective's development and write its history. Bernadette Corporation is concretized here.

The island of the Dominican Republic is a Caribbean oasis and a popular spot for tourists and travelers typically looking to relax. Although most known for its beautiful beaches, soft sand and bath-tub-like water, the Puerto Plata area is also home to thrilling adventures. Cabarete, a gem of a town on the north end of the island, is a dangerously exhilarating sanctuary of exploration and thrilling adventures on both sand and sea.
A top location for many professional kitesurfing competitions – including the Copa Mundial de Kitesurf – Cabarete Bay, formed by a barrier coral reef, is among the most popular beaches in the Caribbean for surfing of all varieties.
Though surfing is just the beginning. You can also swim among the plentiful parrot fish and electric Blue Tangs, rubbing fins as if part of the school. Dive into the deep blue and get acquainted with creatures of the sea — from a nurse shark to a moray eel and a Caribbean dolphin, if you're lucky. Explore monkey jungles or the riverbanks of Rio Yasica, tour sugar cane plantations and kayak down the Jamao River. Adventure enthusiasts have plenty with which to fill an itinerary.
Whether you choose to explore the Dominican Republic's Cabarete region on land or underwater, opt to immerse yourself in the wild side of the island. Indulge in adventure. Feel the pang of adrenaline as you experience what makes this town so quintessentially cool. The type of place you could see yourself leaving everything behind for. Get to know what makes Cabarete so charming and addictively bold.
Day One: Sea, Sun & Surf
Every day in Cabarete should start at Fresh Fresh Cafe — serving homegrown produce from local farms, including superfood smoothies, fresh-squeezed juices and organic coffee. Fresh Fresh is a downtown health haven, only a short distance from Kite Beach (aptly named for Cabarete's favorite watersport, kite-surfing) with natural and healthy fuel for your day.
Adventure awaits at House of Waves, a mobile surf school offering private lessons for all ages and levels. You can test your skills among the waves and learn to hang ten from Jesmarin Puente, a former professional surfer and national champion, who'll lead you to uncrowded spots and pass on his surf knowledge and tips. Lessons are always private, so be sure to call ahead and make an early morning arrangement.
After catching waves across a number of beaches in Cabarete, you'll work up an appetite that can only be satisfied by Miro's, an eclectic seafood spot that's been open for more than 20 years. Chef-owner Lydia Wazana brings a sophisticated sensibility to this delightful beach lounge and restaurant, offering a top-notch menu with live music and artistic events.
If surfing waves wasn't your forte – Vela Cabarete has everything else to offer. From stand-up paddle boards to catching perfect sideshore winds with kite-boarding or wind-surfing, there is plenty of adventure in this area of the Domnicana Republic, or the DR as its better known. The Vela center will teach you to pivot and chop waves like a watersport professional.
Close out your day with a rewarding and delicious dinner on one of DR's top-rated beaches. La Casita de Papi has been serving fresh seafood on Cabarete Beach for more than two decades, giving guests the experience of dining with their toes in the sand and the stars overhead. Relish in plates of seafood and strong cocktails to the sound of waves crashing on the beach – the same waves you spent all day fiercely tearing up.
Day Two: Coral Reef Exploration
Head just north of Cabarete along the coast to Sosúa Beach, the top spot in the Dominican Republic for water sport enthusiasts and adventurous souls. Sosúa Bay features crystal-clear water and a diverse collection of marine life species, thanks to the intricate coral reef structures spread about.
Schedule an experience with Tip Top Catamaran for a day of breathtaking scenery, aquatic life and coral reef exploration along the North Coast of the DR. Embark on a 75-ft.catamaran with sips of champagne and light tapas, and work on your tan as you head to your reef-filled destination.
Dive in and embrace the energy of life underwater with this high-quality experience of swimming with tropical fish, many of which are native to the waters of the Dominican Republic. Keep an eye out for the Banded Butterflyfish with its thick black stripes or the brightly colored Queen Angelfish. After voyaging the sea and swimming above the beautiful coral reefs, enjoy lunch on the boat and dance to local merengue and bachata.
From your underwater discovery and exploration of Sosúa Beach, head to Waterfront Restaurant to have dinner overlooking Playa Alicia. White-sand beaches as soft as sugar and turquoise-blue waters create the perfect backdrop for a beachfront supper of seafood and Caribbean drinks.
Day Three: Seaside Horseback Riding
Fulfill your Caribbean fantasy of riding horses along the sea, a completely authentic activity in the Dominican Republic – and at one of the most majestic facilities to experience it. The Equestrian Center at Sea Horse Ranch is a full-service stable facility and distinctive amenity to Sea Horse Ranch – one of the best luxury resorts on the north coast of the DR. This gated community of oceanfront villas will arrange you a horseback tour on beautiful thoroughbreds, allowing you to see the island from a different perspective at a galloping pace through tropical woods and pristine beaches.
Enjoy a late lunch at the Beach Club at Sea Horse Ranch for a spectacularly panoramic view of Cabarete Beach, where you can treat yourself to an elegant meal of fresh seafood. Featuring a menu with Caribbean and Mediterranean flare and using locally sourced ingredients for a superb dining experience.
Then there's the other side to Sea Horse Ranch, and it doesn't involve horses, but balls and racquets. Finish off your day with a cool match or two at The Tennis Club, with professional and high-performance instruction, five clay courts, private lessons and a pro shop. Join the members on the court for a match in paradise.
Savor today's adventure at one of the best fine-dining experiences in Dominican Republic, located just off Sosúa Beach. Restaurant Casa Veinituno (part of the Boutique B&B Casa Veintiuno) is a stylish property on the hillside of Sosúa, (a five minute stroll from the beach) featuring gourmet European and Caribbean seafood. Note that this establishment is cash only.
Day 4: Boat La Boca
There is no finer way to enjoy your last day in the Dominican Republic than with Rugama Tours. Transport yourself down the Yasica River to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can immerse yourself in jungle surroundings and lush vegetation as if you were actually in the Amazon.
A mid-river boat tour down the Yasica River will land you in La Boca – a playground for adventurers, tucked away from the center of Cabarete through mangrove tree forests and villages. It's not easy to get to, and often requires directional help from locals, unless you take this scenic tour with Rugama. Drink cold beers and spot creatures like eels and lobsters along the river beds as you cruise the warm waters and ride through tropical foliage.
Losing track of time exploring the deep woodland of the Dominican Republic is natural for guests of Rugama Tours, but Proprietor Ruddy Martinez Juma takes care of every last detail so you don't have to. A fresh lunch prepared on open fire pits and coals will fill your stomach – served in a tree house overlooking a lush green field, while Ruddy tells nostalgic stories and shares his love for the enchanting surroundings.
Days worth of energetic adventure deserves some reward. Let yourself indulge in the retail shops along Cabarete, where you can find the handcrafted works of art and design from local artisans and vendors. Shop for jewelry, handbags, carpets and art at FEDUJAZZ and Lili Lou, both located in the downtown Cabarete center.
Head to a local hotspot on Cabarete Beach for your final meal. Pomodoro serves freshly made pasta, brick-oven pizza and salads; it also hosts weekly live jazz performances. Pomodoro is the original location for what has become the Dominican Republic Jazz Festival (now in its 20th year). This favorite might just give you a little taste of home before you depart, and don't miss the gelato stand – located along the beach alley entrance and open until late afternoon.

Westbrook woman charged with being getaway driver in a series of robberies sentenced
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � A woman who acted as the getaway driver for a series of robberies in Maine has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.
Maria Mattson of Westbrook was also sentenced Monday in federal court to three years of probation.
The 31-year-old Mattson pleaded guilty in August to charges of aiding and abetting bank robbery, conspiracy to commit bank robbery and aiding and abetting interference with commerce by robbery.
Prosecutors say Mattson acted as the getaway driver for robberies of a convenience store and two credit unions in Portland, a credit union in Windham and a bank in Lewiston last January and February.
Mattson's co-defendant, 30-year-old Paul Sans of Westbrook, pleaded guilty in October to several counts of bank robbery and is scheduled to be sentenced in January.

Shrink C drive partition on Windows Server 2016
Sometimes you need to shrink C drive in Windows Server 2016, for example: you forgot to edit disk and create more partitions when installing Operating System, so all available disk space are occupied by C drive. As we know, it is a bad idea to put everything into system C partition. Then what to do now, start from scratch? No, you can shrink partition C in Server 2016 Disk Management, then part of the unused space in C drive will be converted to Unallocated space, which can be used to create more volumes.
Shrink partition C with Disk Management
Windows Server 2016 native Disk Management utility provides Shrink Volume functionality to decrease partition size on the fly. It is easy and fast, however, you can't shrink C drive in some situations.
Steps to shrink C: drive in Server 2016 Disk Management:
Right click on bottom left of the screen and then select Disk Management.
Right click C drive and select Shrink Volume.
Waiting for Disk Management to query available free space.
Enter the amount of space in MB and click Shrink, here I entered 122880.
In a short time, system C partition is shrank to 39.45GB, 120GB free space of it is now converted to Unallocated behind it.
It is easy to shrink partition C in Server 2016 Disk Management, but as I said above, you cannot shrink C drive in some situations.
Cannot/unable to shrink C drive
In fact, Shrink Volume only supports NTFS partition, when you shrink a FAT32 partition, Shrink Volume is greyed out. Never mind, the system partition C is formatted as NTFS by default when installing.
The most common reason why you unable to shrink C drive is caused by inconsistent available space. This issue is very likely occur when you use default maximum space.
When I click Shrink, I received the error message "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation."
When I shrinking C drive, the available space to shrink is 150264MB. Before I click Shrink, if any Windows Update or other files saved into C drive, the available free space is less than 150264MB. So, I cannot click Shrink with original maximum amount.
Cannot shrink volume C beyond half limit
Many people feedback that they can only shrink little space, or unable to shrink C drive beyond half size. There seems to be some limit that prevent shrinking more space, even though there is large amount in C drive.
This issue is caused by "unmovable" files. In the Shrink window, there is a tip "You cannot shrink a volume beyond the point where any unmovable files are located."
For example: there are 4 blocks in C drive. If the unmovable files are located in block 3, you cannot shrink volume C to block 2 even though it is blank.
There is no tool to identify which and exact position of the unmovable files. However, this is not an issue to disk partition software, because it can move the unmovable files.
Decrease C drive with partition software
Better than Server 2016 built-in Disk Management, NIUBI Partition Editor can move the location of all files when shrinking C or other partitions. In addition, it reserves about 1GB free space if you shrink C drive to minimum size. Thus, the issue above won't occur with NIUBI. To shrink C drive partition in Windows Server 2016, you just need 1 step to drag on the disk map.Download NIUBI Partition Editor, right click C drive and select "Resize/Move Volume".
In the pop-up window, drag either border towards the other side. If you drag right border leftwards, Unallocated space is produced on the right side of C drive.
Click OK, C drive is shrank.
This partition software is designed to work in virtual mode, the operations you do will be listed as pending on bottom left, real disk partition won't be modified until click Apply to confirm.
In Summary
Windows Server 2016 provides native Shrink Volume functionality in Disk Management, but it is not a perfect tool to decrease partition size. Only NTFS partition is supported, Unallocated space can only be produced on the right side. The worse, you cannot shrink C drive or can only shrink little space. To shrink hard drive in Windows Server 2016, NIUBI Partition Editor is better choice. Besides shrinking volume, it helps you extend, merge, copy, convert, scan, wipe disk partition, etc. Better that other tools, it is integrated 1 Second Rollback technology to ensure system and data intact when modify disk partitions.

Herb & Pesto Polenta with Salmon & Eggs
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a friend had come to visit and brought with her treats from the northwest where she lives.
One of those treats was a bottle of marionberry spread, which I wrote about in my post titled Marionberry Rhubarb with CashewNut Cream.
Another of the treats was an 8-ounce pack of locally caught, wild king salmon (also known as Chinook salmon) which she'd bought direct from the fisherman who'd smoked it with maple and wine.
That's one of the advantages of living in the Pacific Northwest: access to just-caught, wild fresh fish, and in particular, Chinook salmon.
In the July issue of O Magazine, which I mentioned last week because of the 10-page spread on extreme dietary choices, there is a "tip box" on the page featuring a woman who is a pescavore (eats only seafood).
The first tip in the box is "Download a Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch pocket guide for best picks, fish to avoid and good alternatives."
I've linked to that guide, and others like it, many times on this blog. And the reason I've done so is to alert readers to easily-accessible, online resources that can help them make healthy and sustainable seafood choices when grocery shopping.
Because I'm posting a meal idea making use of the wild caught Chinook salmon my friend Judi gave me, I went onto Seafood Watch's website to see what they had to say about salmon, and I saw the heading Updated West Coast Salmon Recommendations.
Seafood Watch is recommending consumers avoid wild caught salmon from California and Oregon due to the declining populations of Chinook salmon in these states.
Whereas wild caught salmon from Alaska remains the best choice and good alternatives are wild caught salmon from Washington (which is what Judi gave me) and northern Oregon.
Last summer, I took a friend's husband grocery shopping. Bruce is an introvert and he wanted some tips on navigating Whole Foods Market on a budget and without going into overwhelm. It was Bruce who introduced me to Seafood Watch's pocket guide.
I was very impressed that he made specific seafood choices for his family based on the guide and I decided if he can do it, I can too, and so can you. Read the guide online, print it out, and keep it on hand when next grocery shopping.
Herb Polenta with Pesto, Salmon & Eggs
1) To make the polenta base (which is underneath the pesto and salmon in the top pic), pour 1 cup of polenta into a pot with 2 cups water and 2 cups half and half. Gently stir off-and-on for about 30 mins over a low heat.
2) At the last minute, toss your choice of grated cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Taste test, adding salt and pepper if you wish.
3) If you have herbs growing in your garden or window box, pick a handful. I chose parsley, marjoram, and chives, chopped them coarsely, and then tossed them into the cooked polenta.
4) Now pour the polenta into an oil-lined pan or baking tray and let it set.
5) Once it has set and is cool, turn polenta onto a plate and spread it with pesto. I had some garlic scape pesto left over so I used that.
To Serve: Break into pieces about 3 ounces or more, depending on the number of people eating, of smoked salmon and spread the bits atop the herb and pesto polenta. I dotted some sliced black olives over the lot, and then garnished the plate with a couple of sliced, hard-boiled eggs.
One cup of cooked polenta made the portion in the top pic, which I cut in two, sharing it with a friend with a side salad of garden-fresh greens.

Companies with large or growing fleets are always looking at ways to operate more efficiently and create savings of both time and money. This is especially so in our current economic climate.
Perth-based tech company Secure2Go has developed a solution to help improve business efficiency within the transport industry. Known as SECUREdrive, the solution is currently being used by transport companies in Western Australia with very positive results.
Using connected technology with independent power and communications, SECUREdrive enables management to quickly locate each individual trailer or piece of equipment, whether it is out on the road or in the depot. The system software can also provide scheduled and on-request updates of the trailer or equipment's location.
"Our technology is all about improving efficiency and giving peace of mind," said Managing Director of Secure2Go, Wes Lawrence. "Having this kind of information available to a business in a very simple and cost effective manner, helps them to better manage their resources and plan their schedule more effectively," he said.

Years ago I was studying the Bible to discover the things I could do to bless God. I wanted know how I could bring Him delight. When I began the process of writing a book on what I was learning, my sweet husband gently suggested that the first book I write should be about why He is worthy of our love in the first place. Eric's comment that day started me on a journey of searching to know the heart of Christ and a longing to share it with others.
When I was dating my husband, I carefully observed him to see what his character was like. I purposely held my heart in check until I felt like I could trust him enough to share my life with him. When I saw how great he was with kids, I took it as an assurance that he'd be a good father. When I saw how hard he worked, I knew he would provide for his family. I tucked each observation away in my heart, gradually building my trust in him.
When I read about Jesus in the Bible, I do the same thing—I observe His actions, His emotions and His interactions with people which help me paint a portrait of His character. I tuck the images away in my heart, leaning on them when life gets tough.
In this book I use the images and observations I've made about Jesus to retell scenes from the Bible. My goal is to bring Jesus' interactions with people to life so that we can glimpse the character and heart of Christ.

The Art of Listening
Which shouldn't even be given an entire jawonthefloor blog post, but apparently it does.
I've been told I am a good listener. People often say to me, "Oh my word, how do you know that?!" when I bring up something they had previously mentioned and I'll tell them that we spoke about it a few months earlier. This always brings blank stares of shock and "but how do you remember?" Well, because I was listening.
I've recently had the opportunity to be in a few conversations in which I noticed zero listening. Let me go back and tell you, Floor Jawers that I wasn't always as attentive as I strive to be. I used to be the discreet version of what I witnessed. People were literally shouting at each other, no single person being allowed to finish their points and a lot of wisdom being lost at the wayside because, why bother when you're not being heard?
I used to do this in my mind. I would nod, smile when necessary and do the appropriate "ooh", "aah" and "uh huh" at correctly timed interjections. However, I would be jumping in, interrupting their lines of thought and bringing my own point across, but without actually saying it.
Now I don't know which is worse: what I used to do (in my mind), or the louder version where you just shut someone down as they are speaking. Either way, to me it amounts to that person saying "what you have to say is not as important as what I need to right now, despite you speaking to me, so shut up and listen to me instead".
Listening really is an art. You have to step back, zip your lips and put aside what you have to say. Even if just for a minute, some people find this too hard and find that they have to interrupt. One of the greatest compliments I've ever received was when I was told by various people in a de-briefing session for a youth facilitation and mentoring programme, was that they had never experienced someone who would be as fully engaged as I was. Now it took all my willpower to not let that rush up to my head, but it really felt good. Something that I had been doing for a large part of my life was now being commended, and I became aware of something important. When you allow someone to fully express what is in their heart, you allow them into yours. Deep, I know, but it's true.
The danger with this is that people tend to monopolise a conversation and walk over you, because they had never experienced someone listening to them before. This is not for you to navigate. People soon realise that they are being too selfish (because a little is necessary), and that leads to a shift in thinking.
So how do you do it? Let your mind go blank and don't think of a question or response until the person has finished their thought. Don't judge! Hard, I know, but you must try (I fail often at this, but trying is all that counts) and then just try to be fully engaged in their presence. Try it; it does take a certain amount of strength to get through a fair bit of ignorance. But when you spit your uninformed opinion back at someone, it's just ignorant volleyball, without a winner.
While you're at it, look out for the way in which people tend to not listen. Besides the obvious interrupting, and shouting in response, body language is a fabulous indicator of ignorance. I love seeing people shifting in their seats as someone speaks, raised eyebrows in anger, averting of the eyes and agitated facial movements. It's all rather hilarious and quite interesting when you ask someone who does that "what did I just say?" The answer is entertaining, but hardly ever surprising.
You hear?!

If you go to therapy, you are given the space to solve old pains and negative feelings.
If this is what you need, go ahead and do it.
Sometimes it is healing you need.
The approach I propose you here is quite different.
I want you to connect with your inner power and use your fire.
When your being wakes up and thinks:
"That's it! I want more and I will get it!"
You simply make a significant shift in your mind: you decide.
In fact, you take your life in your hands.
You stop blaming past or circumstances and you start designing a life you love!
Who is in control?
Who is in charge?
It is you!
You are the sun of your existence.
Events in your life evolve around you.
You are the core of it.
It is in your being.
It is breathing in you as this form of unique life force.
It is your spirit, your life power, your ultimate source of energy.
Power involves a few things: creating, controlling, preserving, conquering, renewing, and much more.
This is about life mastery.
The dating scene is your training ground.
It is the occasion to discover something about you, your existence and the role you play on this planet.
Can you see that?

Top Tips for Bathroom Organization
1. Use Your Medicine Cabinet
To keep your bathroom organized, make the medicine cabinet in your bathroom a repository of things that you use and need regularly. This means trashing any outdated medicines as well as relocating excess ones to another place. According to experts, the most ideal way to have a cleaner and more organized bathroom countertop is to change the way how you use your kitchen cabinet. Furthermore, medicine cabinets are best used for supplies that are used for everyday grooming rather than medicines that are rarely used.
To make sure your medicine cabinet is organized, keep the same items in their own specific storage containers or trays and then label them. You can also make storage bins in the linen closet and underneath the sink. When you have to use something, you can simply and easily slide the entire storage bin out. You may also choose to move the medicines from your medicine cabinet into your kitchen since moisture can potentially ruin them. Through creating active storage inside your medicine cabinet, you will be able to maximize the time that is spent in the bathroom, thus, giving you more allocated time to organize other spaces inside the house.
2. Minimize Hair Product Clutter
Combs, curlers, sprays, hair dryers, and gels can certainly take up a huge space inside the bathroom. For an effective and quick organization method, you can purchase a plastic tub that you can place under the sink and then you can be able to load it up with all your hair product supplies. The moment you are placing them in the container one by one, try to evaluate whether you still use that certain product, or if you use that product most of the time. If not, you can donate it to a charity, relatives or friends. In addition to that, when you are going to fix your hair, you can simply take out the tub from under the sink as well as put away after using it without creating mess anymore.
3. Install Creative Towel Storage
If you have a small towel rack and it cannot accommodate the towels of each member of the family, you can use more hooks inside the bathroom. As a matter of fact, towel hooks are easy to mount and very affordable, making it the best option for towel organization. Towel hooks can certainly create a much bigger space so that all member of the family can be able to hang their individual towels. Aside from that, the floor in the bathroom will also remain dry most of the time because the towels will be dried much faster since it is hanged individually.
4. Add Function and Style with Jars
If you have huge space on the countertop of your bathroom as well as don't mind leaving open things out, you can invest in some stylish jars to hold other daily necessities. Soap, bath salts and cotton swabs certainly look great in clear jar containers. These are also handy especially when visitors use your bathroom since they can easily help themselves without having the need to snoop in your cabinets. If you don't have enough countertop space in your bathroom, you can consider hiring a bathroom contractor in Temecula.
