Grisaille Technique
Grisaille Technique
Grisaille technique is painting with graytones to create a monochrome art work. Grisaille painting dates back to the Renaissance.
1. Grisaille (gray tone value) underpainting divides and conquers the painting process, so it's great for painters of all skill levels.
2. In essence, an artist must capture the rhythm of nature and allow light to dance playfully through an art work. The foundation for this is achieved in the graytone process.
3. The artist builds a foundation in gray tones. This monocrhome underpainting ranges in value from black to white and includes various gray values that will facilitate various kinds of effects when light tries to pass through or bounce off the layers of paint.
4. The truly effective grisaille underpainting builds a network of paint layers that actually channel natural sunlight from the surface (ground layer), all the way up through the final layer of colors. So, when the sunshine pours down on this painting, the structure or network of the grisaille underpainting makes it possible for the light to be reflected back to greet your eyes with rich color infused with shimmering light! In other words, luminosity.
This concept was developed many centuries ago when pigments were very scarce. The Old Masters had only a handful of pigments to accomplish their beautiful results so they had to push each individual pigment to its fullest capacity to be able to achieve the luminosity in their art work that made them famous. In essence, they cherished the "inner light" that played and danced through their network of colors on canvas, and made that "inner light" an integral part of their paintings.
Not every art work requires brilliant luminosity to achieve the desired results. However, even a soft misty atmosphere should be enhanced by colors infused with natural sunlight to capture the essence of life.
5. The classic grisaille painting is considered a finished art work.
6. The grisaille underpainting provides a foundation for transparent color overlays. Transparent colors have no body by themselves. That is, you can't create textural quality using a transparent paint alone. Thereby, the illusion of texture is created in the grisaille underpainting, over which color is glazed using transparent oil paint.
7. Linda Coulter's multi-layered art works are designed with passageways through which light can freely pass, producing the special effects and illusions that the artist wants to achieve.
In essence, she allows natural sunlight to participate in the finished design and uses only a handful of precious pigments to produce color radiance in her art works.

I turned 24 last week! Along with all the usual birthday perks such as acting like a princess all day and eating a huge yummy breakfast, there were very important matters to attend to- like collecting my free Ulta birthday gift.
In years past, Ulta has given away neutral colored eyeshadow palettes and a full-sized Calvin Klein mascara, both of which found a comfy place in my expansive makeup collection. I couldn't wait to try out what they had in store for this year: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara ($17.50).
To say that I wasn't bummed when I realized it was only a sample size would be a huge lie. I receive so many sample-sized products every month from Ipsy and Birchbox that it's becoming overwhelming. Now I have another mini-mascara to add to the pile and as high-end as the brand is, I couldn't help being a little bit disappointed with the freebie. I guess I've gotta take what I can get.
Disregarding the size, this mascara is like a little miracle in a tube. Roller Lash boasts that you'll no longer have to use an eyelash curler to get the curl and definition that you crave from your eyelashes. As medieval and grotesque as eyelash curlers look from afar, they always get the job done quickly and effectively. This mascara rendered them completely useless, and I certainly wasn't complaining when I was able to temporarily cut the old school beauty favorite from my routine.
The wand has teeny tiny bristles that look more like a comb, but that doesn't stop them from providing extremely precise definition. This mascara made my eyes look more open, gave my lashes enviable curl and didn't cause any unsightly clumping. The downside was again the size- I used it everyday this week and already I can sense the formula in the tube running out.
All in all, this was a cool birthday present from Ulta. If it had been a little bigger, it would have been perfect!

This week's post was inspired by some of the great conversation we had during our launch this past January. During the launch there were two groups, part time entrepreneurs and full time entrepreneurs. While both groups agreed that eventually it was better for a business if its founder was able to focus on it full time, there was much debate about the timing of this and whether or not being a part time entrepreneur meant you were less committed.
From personal experience I can attest to the fact that the timing of your decision to transition to full time entrepreneurship is very much a personal decision. There are a number of consequences to consider, the biggest of which is often financial stability. In terms of commitment, however, I would argue that a part time entrepreneur can be just as committed and in some cases more committed than a full time entrepreneur. Commitment in this context is just measured by hours, but also includes effort and overall dedication.Have you made the transition from part-time to full time entrepreneurship? Share your experiences with us today!

T-Mobile Prepaid Discontinues $25/month planJanuary 9th, 2017 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Early last week, T-Mobile quietly discontinued its lowest prepaid plan, marketed as a "basic monthly plan." Originally, the plan included unlimited talk and text with no data and, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's being replaced. However, if you're already on the plan, then you have nothing to fear.
SpeedTalk Mobile OverviewDecember 24th, 2016 | Prepaid Cell Phone Plans, T-Mobile | No Comments
A smaller T-Mobile MVNO, SpeedTalk Mobile, was recently brought to my attention as being a great option for customers who don't use their phones constantly. More and more prepaid companies are gravitating to the high data user and trying to give you more bang for your buck that those who need only a few minutes or texts are becoming overlooked. With that thought in mind, today I'd like to do an overview of SpeedTalk Mobile. The company has four different sets of plans available, three of which appeal greatly to customers who don't need unlimited everything.
Which Carrier Has the Best Coverage?September 24th, 2015 | AT&T, FAQ, Network Carriers, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless | No Comments
Marketing is a pretty powerful thing and for your average customer, trying to decide which company and which network is best can be complicated. After all, they all boast that they have the "fastest" or "largest" or "most dependable" or even use "nationwide" in their advertisements. Easily the question I am asked the most–by people on both prepaid and postpaid plans–is, "Which network is the best?" And my answer is always the same: It's complicated.
T-Mobile SIM Sale Is BackSeptember 7th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Less than a week after the expiration of the last SIM sale, T-Mobile has relaunched the promotion. Now through September 30, 2015, customers can grab some SIMs for $0.99 with the promotional code. Normally T-Mobile SIMs are priced at $15, so this sale is as awesome as it is frequent.
T-Mobile $0.99 SIM Sale ReturnsAugust 21st, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
At this point, I'm not even really sure that T-Mobile's extremely frequent $0.99 SIM sales can really qualify sales due to the ridiculous frequency. Barely a week after the end of the last sale, T-Mobile has relaunched the promotion which will allow consumers to pick up a SIM card for just $1 as opposed to the $15 they run normally.
T-Mobile $0.99 SIM Sale is BackAugust 8th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
After about a week's absence, T-Mobile has brought back its $0.99 wireless SIM sale. Both wireless and mobiel internet SIMs are available and eligible for the special $0.99 discount. Normally, T-Mobile SIMs are priced at around $15 so it's a pretty awesome deals if you missed out on the last SIM sale and wanted to try T-Mobile. However, as always, I'm sure that it'll be back again soon so don't stress too much if you miss this one.
T-Mobile Adds ZTE Obsidian to LineupAugust 7th, 2015 | Prepaid Phones, T-Mobile | No Comments
In a world of phablets bigger than my head, small phones are becoming little hard to find. But, if you're in the market for an entry-level, hand-sized smartphone then the new ZTE Obsidian from T-Mobile might be worth a look.
Sprint Finally Falls to Fourth PlaceAugust 5th, 2015 | Network Carriers, Sprint, T-Mobile | No Comments
If you've been following the main Network Carriers during the last year or two, then you are probably aware that T-Mobile and Sprint have been engaged in a full-on battle over subscribers. T-Mobile, the self-branded Uncarrier, has been boasting for more than a year that it would overtake Sprint as the Number Three carrier in the United States. And last quarter it looks like it finally happened.
Kyocera Hydro Wave Comes to MetroPCS, T-MobileJuly 27th, 2015 | MetroPCS, Prepaid Phones, T-Mobile | 3 Comments
MetroPCS and T-Mobile both added a new device to their respective lineups today: the Kyocera Hydro Wave. While I haven't personally seen this device yet, the Wave looks like a good entry-level device meant for people who are a little harder on their devices.
T-Mobile $0.99 SIM SaleJuly 22nd, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Well, it looks like T-Mobile has brought back its popular $0.99 SIM sale this month. Normally priced at around $15, this is quite a deal if you're considering making a jump to T-Mobile from another carrier. The SIM deal is available now through July 30, 2015. If however, you miss out on this promotion, T-Mobile renews it about every couple of months or so and I am sure there will be other opportunities.
T-Mobile Adds Free Roaming to Mexico, CanadaJuly 10th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
In recent months, calling other countries–specifically Mexico and Canada–has become more and more affordable on both prepaid and some postpaid plans. But roaming within those countries is, for the most part, still something of a nightmare which commonly requires additional SIM cards, international add-ons or other hassles. Well, T-Mobile has stepped up to the plate yet again and will soon be offering free calling and roaming in Mexico and Canada as part of its new "Mobile Without Border" campaign.
T-Mobile Shutting Down AWS, But Don't Panic YetJune 25th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has been announcing and warning customers that it will soon be shutting down its AWS HSPA+ network in a number of markets this year with Chicago being the most recent city to see the network shut down. But, don't panic just yet–LTE isn't effected, and according to T-Mo News, all customers who need to upgrade will be (and should have been) given the option to upgrade to a free phone to ensure that signal is 100% uninterrupted.
Here's the schedule of shutdowns by city and date:
T-Mobile $0.99 SIM Sale RelaunchesJune 25th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
The last $0.99 SIM sale ended late last week, but it looks like T-Mobile has renewed the offer to potential customers looking to make the jump from their current carrier to the magenta Uncarrier.

According to the article, T-Mobile will soon be adding a week long pass for customer looking for limited-time connectivity.
T-Mobile May Add Hotspot to Prepaid PlansJune 10th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has offered mobile hotspots to pretty much all of its postpaid plans for quite a while now, but prepaid customers had to pay extra for the service. However, I've seen a rumor on several sites that prepaid customers might soon be able to set up mobile hotspots, as long as the plan has data.
Brightspot Pushes Customers to T-MobileJune 9th, 2015 | MVNO, T-Mobile | No Comments
Last week, T-Mobile MVNO Brightspot Mobile announced that it would be closing at the end of 2015. There wasn't a whole lot of information as to exactly what would happen to current customers, although we suspected that customers would be encouraged to make the switch to T-Mobile to avoid interrupted service. As it turns out, we were right. Here's what you need to know:
T-Mobile $0.99 SIM SaleJune 8th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has brought back its popular SIM sale this month. Now through June 18, 2015, customers can get a T-Mobile SIM card for $0.99. T-Mobile SIMs are normally priced at $15, so this is quite a savings. As usual, T-Mobile will be enforcing a limit of 3 SIMs per order and no more than five SIMs per household per 30 days.

Univision, GoSmart Available at TargetJune 1st, 2015 | MVNO, T-Mobile | 2 Comments

Univision Mobile and GoSmart Mobile are similarly priced and will join T-Mobile prepaid on the shelves of electronic departments in various Target stores in the United States.
T-Mobile to Offer Phone to Entice CustomersMay 19th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has been extremely aggressive about marketing both its prepaid and postpaid plans to consumers, and according to Android Headlines, this trend will continue with a free phone offering for select customers. T-Mobile itself has made no official public announcements, but an email from T-Mobile corporate to its employees was intercepted recently by TmoNews. The email indicated that customers who sign up for a prepaid plan would be able to get an LG Leon LTE smartphone basically for free.
T-Mobile Adds New Feature Phone to LineupApril 30th, 2015 | Prepaid Phones, T-Mobile | No Comments
Smartphones are wonderful and they can do an incredible range of things. However, if you are one of the millions who really just want a phone to make calls, then a $200 smartphone probably isn't a good fit. There is something elegant about a feature phone that only does a few things, but does them well, and Kyocera gets that. Earlier this week, Kyocera and T-Mobile came together to introduce the Kyocera Rally, a new feature phone that's maybe a little more sleek than most other feature phones.
T-Mobile to Finish Integrating MetroPCS This YearApril 29th, 2015 | MetroPCS, T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile purchased MetroPCS, a prepaid brand that used a small CDMA network a couple of years ago. Since then, T-Mobile has been slowly transitioning customers over to its GSM network and refarmed the CDMA spectrum to increase its coverage. According to T-Mobile's first quarter report, T-Mobile has refarmed about 80% of the CDMA spectrum and just earlier this year, T-decommissioned the legacy CDMA network of its prepaid brand MetroPCS in several major cities including Atlanta and Detroit.
T-Mobile SIMs On Sale for $0.99April 7th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments

What MVNOs Use T-Mobile?April 3rd, 2015 | MVNO, T-Mobile | 2 Comments
T-Mobile is not only one of the smallest of the Big Four carriers, but it's also undeniably the fastest-growing. Part of that growth is from the carrier's unusual no contract model and its MVNOs. Because T-Mobile doesn't have a contract on their postpaid plans, the only real difference is when you pay and the level of customer service. Still, if you're looking to avoid the big corporations and want to take advantage of T-Mobile's network then here are your options:
T-Mobile Expands Data Stash to PrepaidMarch 18th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
One of the main downsides of prepaid plans is the data. Depending on which carrier you have and how much data you really need, it can get rather expensive rather quickly. And, with a lot of the monthly MVNO plans, that data doesn't roll over to the next month. Well, T-Mobile recently announced that it will be expanding the popular "Data Stash" program to prepaid customers starting March 22.
Best T-Mobile Prepaid PlansFebruary 18th, 2015 | T-Mobile | 2 Comments
Every mobile carrier and MVNO promises that they are the best choice with the best service and all of the best plans that you could ever want. In fact, they're all so busy shouting over each other, it can be hard to discern which company REALLY has the best offering. And what's where we come in.
Because there are so many permutations of prepaid plans, we decided to take a look at the thirty-day unlimited talk and text plans that utilize T-Mobile's network. We've compared plans by price and the amount of high speed/low speed data that you can get at that price point. Here's a list of the companies we included in our comparison:
T-Mobile Offers Phone Discounts with SCORE!January 28th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
On Sunday, T-Mobile unveiled yet another program designed to try and retain customers and provide phone discounts. It seems like this is going to be a monthly occurrence. Regardless, as this program is one of the few that's available to both prepaid and postpaid, it is worth a look.
T-Mobile Aims "Smartphone Equality" at PrepaidJanuary 26th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Apparently, T-Mobile believes that most prepaid customers are on the prepaid plans because of bad credit. So, in an effort to make prepaid customers switch to more expensive and lucrative postpaid plans, yesterday it introduced "Smartphone Equality" which can automatically qualify anyone for the expensive phone payment plans that come with the equally expensive postpaid plans.
T-Mobile Parent Calls Growth 'Unsustainable'January 22nd, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
The magenta giant and their trademark "Uncarrier" movement has really spurred a lot of changes in the mobile world as far as price, data, contracts and several other features are concerned. Last year the carrier saw several M&A talks, all of which were unsuccessful for one reason or another. For a while there, it looked like T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom was content to let T-Mobile grow under the obnoxious yet successful leadership of CEO John Legere. However, it appears that is no longer the case.
5 Best Affordable T-Mobile Prepaid PhonesJanuary 19th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile is barely trailing behind Sprint as the No.4 carrier in the United States and while its network is a little spotty and patchy at times, the improvements over the last year or two are pretty impressive. Utilizing a GSM network, T-Mobile has several MVNOs, but their prepaid sector itself has a pretty good following. Like AT&T, you can activate just about any phone on prepaid, but the options on their online store are pretty limited, but if you're looking for something that's both affordable–meaning $200 or less–and still a good quality phone, then take a look at these top five picks:
T-Mobile Introduces Simply PrepaidJanuary 16th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Late last year, T-Mobile said it was going to change up their prepaid sector with something called "simply prepaid" but didn't really give a date for the new plans or a whole lot of information so I didn't really report on it. Well, yesterday T-Mobile finally announced the plans, availability date, and set up a snazzy page talking about how much greater it's going to be, etc. While the plans do include LTE, the prices aren't really anything that exciting.
Here are the plan options:
T-Mobile Adds Customers, Still No. 4 CarrierJanuary 12th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Despite boasts and predictions from T-Mobile CEO John Legere and several other critics, T-Mobile failed to surpass Sprint in the fourth quarter of 2014, despite an overall growth of 8.3 million subscribers throughout the year. Of course, that doesn't mean it wasn't still a great year for the magenta carrier.
T-Mobile CEO Makes 2015 PredictionsJanuary 4th, 2015 | T-Mobile | No Comments
The slightly abrasive T-Mobile CEO John Leger has come out with a press release announcing T-Mobile's plan for the new year along with a sort of review of 2014 and predictions for 2015. The article itself is pretty long and most of it is simply bragging about how T-Mobile is better than anyone else. (Did you really expect anything different?) But some of the points mentioned are worth repeating. Here are the highlights:
ZTE Debuts Two Prepaid PhonesDecember 28th, 2014 | Boost Mobile, Prepaid Phones, T-Mobile | No Comments
ZTE has two new low-end prepaid phones available through two different carriers this week, so I thought I'd cover it all in one post to save on some time and reading. The ZTE Speed can be purchased through Boost Mobile, and the ZTE Zinger is available through T-Mobile prepaid. They have pretty similar specs and, to be truthful, nothing too spectacular or noteworthy. Here's a quick comparison:
Activate Nexus 9 Tablet on T-Mobile PrepaidDecember 16th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has announced the availability of the new Nexus 9 LTE Tablet for postpaid plans with the option to activate on prepaid plans. This tablet is pretty highly sought after and looks pretty sweet, but if you want it on a prepaid plan there are a few catches.
T-Mobile Doubles Music Freedom OptionsDecember 1st, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
If you like rocking out to tunes this holiday season, then T-Mobile has a Christmas gift for you! Their popular Music Freedom service has been more than doubled this week to include 14 additional music streaming services to their free music revolution. The wildly popular music freedom service streams roughly 66 million songs per day.
Here is the full list of services, with the newly added in bold:
T-Mobile SIMS On Sale for 99¢ Today OnlyOctober 20th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile has changed up their SIM deal for October. Today only, you can get a T-Mobile micro or standard SIM for $0.99. SIMS are regularly priced at $10, so it's quite a savings. As usual, T-Mobile is enforcing a limit of 3 SIMS per order and no more than 5 SIMs in 30 days per customer.
Iliad Abandons Pursuit of T-MobileOctober 17th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Reports indicate that French internet and mobile company Iliad has dropped its bid for T-Mobile, claiming that Deutsche Telecom, T-Mobile's parent company, refused to entertain its offer. Iliad has been placing bids to buy a majority share in T-Mobile for several months, upping the offers after the potential merger between Sprint and T-Mobile fell through. Iliad reportedly bid for 67% of the shares of T-Mobile, valuing it at around $36 per share.
T-Mobile CEO Denies Merger RumorsOctober 7th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
T-Mobile's flashy and outspoken CEO, John Legere, dismissed all the rumors that T-Mobile was undergoing talks with Iliad about a possible merger or acquisition last week, calling them 'craziness.' According to a FierceWireless article, Legere said that T-Mobile was doing excellent has no intentions or interest in a merger at this time.
T-Mobile Drops Support for Federal Lifeline ProgramSeptember 26th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Fierce Wireless reported that T-Mobile plans to discontinue its support for the Federal Lifeline phone program by the end of 2014. T-Mobile has been a designated Lifeline service provider since 2012 but currently only services 400 customers. In a lengthy statement, T-Mobile asserted that they were not the only provider for the Lifeline program in those areas, and that customers would not be effected by this shift.
T-Mobile Penny SIM Sale Returns Again!September 25th, 2014 | T-Mobile | No Comments
Breaking with their normal monthly trend, T-Mobile has restarted their prepaid penny SIM sale back for the second time this month. The last deal ended Sept. 10 and two weeks later, they've relaunched it again. This newest deal ends September 30, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it back again next month if you miss out.
You can get up to five SIMs for one penny each (normally around $10 each) with a maximum of 3 SIMs per order and 5 SIMs over a period of 30 days. Unfortunately, that means that if you went all-out two weeks ago and bought 5 SIMs, you will be ineligible to purchase more SIMs during this deal.

Putting Your Thoughts To Work To Change Your Life
May 25, 2012 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
A couple of days ago, I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a while. As we caught up with each other's life changes the name of a mutual friend came up. Unbeknownst to me, this mutual friend had quit her job and moved in with her boyfriend who lived in another state. My comment was: wow. Not because I thought it was out of this world for someone to quit their job and move in with someone else, but because it seemed unexpected.
After I shared my thoughts with my friend, she said our mutual friend had a board. "A board?" I asked. "Yes, I board where she pinned her greatest desires.
It turns out our mutual friend had a white board and on it she pinned clear messages to the universe. Her messages were about being with this particular man.
Now, we have all heard about people pinning things all over their walls. So, why am I writing about this?
There is something really powerful about paying attention and giving energy to what we want.
I'm not talking about repeating like a parrot – without real meaning – I want to be happy, or rich, or successful. And I'm not talking about saying time and time again "I'm beautiful" or some other affirmation which most of the time we say without really believing. I'm talking about a specific want like: "I want X studio to buy my Y screenplay" and giving the thought the respect it needs.
By concentrating on a particular want, we are taking our lives seriously, and we are letting the universe know we really want a positive outcome. Our want becomes empowered by our energy. It is different attitude from wanting something and then just sitting back to see what happens.
There is amazing power in taking a stance. Know what matters to you and make it happen. Have a board. Say it out loud. Tell a friend. Tell yourself. And see it come true.
The Truth About Positive Thinking
January 16, 2012 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Featured
Positive thinking sells book, newspapers and magazines. That's it.
I'm not down on being positive. I'm down on a simplistic approach to finding greater contentment in life. Let me explain what I mean:
I don't believe repeating I'm beautiful time and time again will actually get me to feel beautiful unless a lot of other personal work gets done.
I don't believe posting notes all over the house with the words "I'm happy" will actually get me to be happy.
But I do believe in hoping for the best as it takes as much effort to dream of things coming out to our satisfaction as it does the other way around.
I also believe in not attaching such absolute qualities as good or bad to everything that happens. Life is more complex than that. In every "bad" situation there is a possibility of good. But if we only see it as bad, then that possibility is not available.
Building a sense of gratitude, appreciation and connection with the self, I believe, will give anyone more satisfaction than the old "Don't worry be happy."
Repetition in and of itself is just that; repetition.
Yes, I Suck: Self-Help Through Negative Thinking
April 16, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
I was reading the Huffington Post today and following on different links until I came across the piece below from Time Magazine on positive thinking. Based on many studies the piece concludes that rather than keeping a mantra going of how wonderful we are, if we actually acknowledged our thoughts and feelings, we would have a more fulfilling and lasting experience.
I've always been of the mind that if we keep repeating something that we know not to be true like "I'm so happy" when we feel miserable, it will cause even more distress because all we are doing is underscoring the differences between what we are saying and how we are feeling.
Acknowledging how we feel and then moving on is an honest and courageous way to deal with our lives with lasting results. Please read on.
By John Cloud
In the past 50 years, people with mental problems have spent untold millions of hours in therapists' offices, and millions more reading self-help books, trying to turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." For many people — including well-educated, highly trained therapists, for whom "cognitive restructuring" is a central goal — the very definition of psychotherapy is the process of changing self-defeating attitudes into constructive ones.
But was Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking? A study just published in the journal Psychological Science says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are…Continued

The Plastics Practice Managers (PPM) group exists to help our industry share, support and shine!
Formed by Practice Directors Cheryl Taylor and Amber Moncrieff in September 2014 , the PPM is designed to give Practice Managers from Australasian Plastic Surgeons a new level of support to provide 5 star patient experiences.
We are passionate about sharing our best ideas, supporting our members and helping our industry shine.
The PPM now has over 115 practice and business managers as members from more than 90 clinics across the country (and NZ!), representing 115-plus aesthetically focused Plastic Surgeons. We are an incorporated non-profit entity and have 5 member Council to guide our activities.
In the last 3 years the PPM has hosted 4 major workshop events in Sydney and Melbourne for over 200 delegates. They were a fantastic success with 99% of delegates stating in their feedback that they came away with a clear action plan to do at least 5 things differently!
In 2016 we commenced electronic delivery of education and discussions, including webinars on social media and HR – by people who actually manage them in clinics like yours!
Foundation Membership of the PPM is open to Practice Managers from ASAPS or ASPS (the main industry bodies for Plastic Surgeons) clinics and only with the approval of your Plastic Surgeon. Foundation Membership is free but as we grow our services, we may charge a modest fee to cover costs as we will continue to be a non-profit group.
Becoming a PPM Foundation Member gives you:
- Access to our private online community on Facebook. This group currently consists of over 95 PPM members who are there to share ideas and industry news.
- Priority access to our events
- A say in the future direction of the PPM
Located in the beautiful Sofitel Hotel in the heart of Melbourne this year's PPM 2017 Workshop theme was "Working Smarter, Not Harder".
With the increasing burden of trying to do more for less, it is essential that teams understand how to achieve better outcomes with limited resources. We have been working over many months to develop an industry specific program providing strategies and techniques to empower your team to work together and deliver a more efficient and superior patient experience.
In response to your feedback, we changed the format this year and extended the program offering our Practice Managers a very special day addressing what has been titled our major challenge – Human Resources. This dedicated day was a closed room for our Practice Managers only to learn from one of the industry's leading Recruitment and Talent Management Specialist.
The first in a three-year plan of workshops, Friday morning focused on the acquisition of staff and the vital skill of interviewing and staff selection. Friday afternoon we heard from Employsure educating us in the very important aspect of the rights and responsibilities of both the Employer and the Employee. We know these two aspects are intrinsically linked, get it wrong in one means you've got it wrong in both, which is ultimately a huge cost against your business. This one-off workshop was developed to give our Practice Managers practical strategies, tools and training specific to our practices, in this very challenging aspect of our positions.
The Saturday and Sunday program was open to all members of your team. We were delighted to secure Claire Madden from Hello Clarity to deliver our Keynote Address. Claire is a social researcher, media commentator she is in demand for her skill in effectively identifying the emerging trends and assisting business leaders to strategically respond to them. Claire is a dynamic presenter who introduced us to the next generation of our patients and what we need to do to prepare our practices for them.
The hands-on workshop presented by Wisdom Learning delivered an interactive and fun approach to the way we approach our days, how do we do more, how do we manage our time and tasks to get the best outcome for ourselves, our teams and our practices.
This along with our very popular sessions of Top Tips and Cyber Tours the workshop ensured an informative and very productive workshop is store for all.

Rand Fishkin and Casey Henry have plenty of experience helping build venture-backed companies — and that's part of the reason why they avoided the traditional venture financing route for their new startup.
The founders of new Seattle startup SparkToro today announced a $1.3 million investment round that included participation from 35 individual angels, including folks like Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff, Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman, Glowforge CEO Dan Shapiro, Hubspot co-founder Dharmesh Shah, Urbanspoon co-founders Ethan Lowry and Patrick O'Donnell, Amazon exec Jeff Wilke, and Wistia co-founder Chris Savage, among others.
Fishkin, co-founder of Moz, and Henry, a former Moz colleague who was previously a director at Wistia and Ookla, took an unconventional route to find investment for SparkToro, which is building a "search engine for audience intelligence."
The founders wanted investors who would allow SparkToro to grow without the typical venture-backed pressures of raising larger follow-on rounds and achieving a huge exit in a short timeframe. They were frustrated with the "succeed on a massive scale or die trying" model.
"We intend to pursue this problem space, which we believe is a giant market with a ton of opportunity, aggressively," Fishkin wrote in a blog post. "But we won't do so with a 'growth at all costs' mentality. We are not willing to trade lower risk, profitable growth for a higher growth rate that brings high risk consequences to our long-term prospects."
SparkToro came up with a new structure that "lets investors participate more directly in the profits and profitable growth of a less 'big-exit-only' focused company." Fishkin, who's had his share of frustrating experiences with venture capitalists, detailed some of the unique qualities of that structure here:
- We're an LLC, rather than a C-Corp, and we can pay dividends to our investors, founders, and employees if/when we generate profits.
- We have the option, in any year where the company is profitable, to distribute profits pro rata to investors or to re-invest in future growth.
- Before the founders (Casey and I) get any of the profit distributions, and before our salaries can go above a fixed number (tied to Seattle software employee averages), we must first return all of our investors' capital (the $1.3mm we've raised) via profit distributions.
- In the event of an acquisition/sale, investors earn the greater of their initial investment back (less the amount already returned through profit distribution) or the percent of the company's units their shares represent.
- We can raise future investment rounds (though we don't plan to) and in those future rounds, our investors have the right to participate pro rata.
- Any future changes in structure require holders of 80%+ of units to vote in favor.
"Let me be super-clear about what we're trying to build: an exciting, high-growth, high quality company that some venture investors might be excited to be part of… BUT, one that preserves the option to do things that wouldn't fit with the outcomes venture investors need," Fishkin wrote.
Fishkin noted that the traditional VC model still works for some startups and founders, like those that need to spend lots of money on a high-risk idea. But he's optimistic that there are other financing routes which help increase the chances of startup success, for all parties involved.
Another way SparkToro is different: it doesn't plan on hiring any employees for the next six-to-nine months, despite the cash infusion. The startup also won't rent office space and will keep its data and computing costs low.
"We want to reserve as much of this round as possible to enable ramp-up costs if and when our product launches and, hopefully, earns traction in the market," Fishkin wrote. "We're also cognizant that many things could delay our launch, or that we might need a long time to polish and adjust our product to be truly valuable. This funding round will give us the freedom to make sure that the public V1 is impressive, even if it means doing a lot of private beta testing of an MVP."
Fishkin long-touted the value of transparency during his 17 years at Moz — it's also the backbone of his new startup advice book, Lost and Founder — and he's carrying that forward at SparkToro. He made the company's investing documents public here, with the hope that other founders can follow a similar strategy.
Fishkin encouraged founders to not be "irrationally biased to the venture capital, classic Silicon Valley path" when he stopped by the GeekWire offices last month.
"These types of companies that have slow, progressive growth are awesome, too," he explained in the video below. "In fact, one of the weird, dark, dirty secrets of the startup world is that a lot of times, founders and employees make a lot more money with [slow growth companies] than they do with [hockey-stick growth companies]. Venture capitalists, not so much."

The YMCA is the nation's leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community. The organization is dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure adults and families. Their impact is felt every day when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when neighbors come together for the common good. Big Brothers Big Sisters operates under the belief that inherent in every child has the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation's largest mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles"), ages 6 through 18.
The YMCA of Abilene understands the value of providing a safe environment where adults, teens and children can spend time together engaging in physical activity and building mentoring relationships.
Effective now, the YMCA of Abilene is offering a one year membership at no charge to Bigs and Littles who use the facilities together. They can participate in group exercise activities, swim, play court sports and more! In addition, BBBS "Littles" can apply for team sports and camp scholarships. The YMCA will also support the BBBS mission by informing their families of the benefits of mentoring through hosting BBBS interest meetings, presentations, and tables at YMCA events.
YMCA Executive Director Brandi Underwood explains, "The YMCA of Abilene is always looking for new opportunities to serve our community through programs and services that focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. There was so much excitement at the Y when the opportunity for a partnership with Big Brothers and Big Sisters was brought up. It makes a lot of sense to work together because we already have so much in common, and we have the unique ability to enhance their already successful program through our programs and services."

Time-Series Data Mining in a Geospatial Decision Support
Dan Li, Sherri Harms, Steve Goddard, William Waltman, Jitender Deogun
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln NE 68588-0115
This paper presents an overview of the motivation for, and the use of time-series data mining in, a Geospatial Decision Support System (GDSS). Our approach is based on a combination of time-series data mining algorithms and spatial interpolation techniques. The initial focus of the system is to facilitate drought risk management. We develop two association rule mining algorithms and two interpolation methods, which help drought experts predict local weather conditions or potential yield impact based on the global weather patterns.
Keywords: Geospatial Decision Support System, Data Mining, Interpolation.
1. Introduction
Drought is a natural process of Great Plains landscapes and results in significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. Historically, more emphasis has been placed on the response component of drought management, with little or no attention to mitigation, preparedness, and prediction or monitoring (Wilhite 2001). Thus, through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Digital Government program, the USDA RMA is working with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Computer
Science and Engineering (CSE) Department, National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), and High Plains Regional Climate Center (HPRCC) to develop a Geospatial Decision Support System (GDSS) to improve the quality and accessibility of temperature and precipitation data for drought assessment and drought risk management. Figure 1 shows two drought assessment maps. The drought map of Nebraska can be generated in real-time produced by our GDSS system for any specified time interval from the project's home page: http://nadss.unl.edu/.
A common question in risk analysis is "How are events related in time?" In a risk management application where a time-series is a factor, it is important to study the relationships of the parameters that occur together. Data mining algorithms have the potential to identify these relationships.
Predicting events and identifying sequential rules that are inherent in the data help domain experts learn from past data and make informed decisions for the future. For example, decision-makers are interested in discovering associations between the periodical occurrence of El Ni˜no and the periodical occurrence of natural hazards. Data mining techniques can help us build abstract models to represent the reality and to support risk management and mitigation of natural hazards. In the rest
of this paper, we demonstrate the integration of spatio-temporal knowledge discovery techniques in the GDSS using a combination of data mining methods applied to geospatial time-series data.

Why they still can't predict the weather
Article Abstract:
The accuracy of weather forecasts has not improved over the years. Outdated equipment and ever-changing air conditions prevent weathercasters from making accurate decisions. Many businesses have begun relying on private weather stations as government fails to update their weather forecasting equipments.

Mandaue City is right next door to Cebu City and on the way to the airport. In fact, my grandparents' and father's cemetery plot is half in Mandaue and half in Cebu; hmm, I wonder what is where within the plots… At any rate, the City of Mandaue is quite famous for it's bibingka (rice cakes) and though the vendors are fewer and farther between these days, it is still a common snack and something the city is proud of. Made of ground rice, heated coconut milk, coconut strips, sugar and traditionally tuba (coconut alcohol) though this is sometimes replaced with yeast, I think, this sweetish slightly acidic treat is quite memorable. Very different from the bibingkang galapong, it is nevertheless quite delicious and a taste that is unique…
At PHP40 for three bibingkas, this is a whoppingly good bargain, if you ask me. Each bibingka is good for two persons unless you are really hungry. It appears to be cooked under a lower flame as the cake has risen, but the top and bottom is not charred. In fact, I think the heat on the top of the cake is stronger than the one below the cake. These bibingka were purchased roadside and I am told there are some "secrets" to each vendor's individual mixtures or recipes but I didn't get any recipes just yet…maybe next time. If you happen to visit Cebu/Mandaue in the near future, be sure to try this delicacy…
hi! i love this bibingka and always try to buy some whenever i'm in cebu. do you know where i can get this in manila? thanks!
Oct 17, 2006 | 5:38 pm
wow.. that sure looks good.. best with a cup of coffee or hot choco… yum…
Oct 17, 2006 | 5:58 pm
Yum…. I love bibingka.
Oct 17, 2006 | 6:12 pm
Hmmn, really miss bibingka specially the one with the salted eggs.
Oct 17, 2006 | 10:26 pm
i love the bibingka there in cebu. when i lived there for a year in 1998, in ayala center, at the gaisano supermarket, there was a stall that sold bibingka. it was soooo good. then on on weekends (only) there was a special bibingka (colored yellow)–even more delicious than the regular bibingka. then they closed shop. dunno where they went and i don't remember the stall's name! pastilan. sarap talaga eh.
Oct 17, 2006 | 11:45 pm
I am tortured just looking at the pictures. The bibingka must be out of this world with the addition of tuba it brought another dimension. I can picture myself sinking my teeth into it and eating the delicious delicacy. Do you eat them with grated coconut or plain the way you have them in your pictures? It looks the coconut strips is mixed and cooked in and eggs are not commissioned.
Oct 18, 2006 | 12:19 am
MM, I wish you could provide a recipe for the bibingka. I lived in Cebu (a looong time ago) and my housemates and I used to go to Mandaue wet market to buy longganisa, (shortganisa because they were short and chubby), dried danggit, and of course mangoes.
Oct 18, 2006 | 2:38 am
Yum! I love bibingka! Have tried the ones from Mandaue when I visited last year and it was the best. Couldn't get anything like that around here. :-(
Oct 18, 2006 | 3:53 am
yes i like bibingka as well. Must try the Mandaue version again. i've always wondered if other Asian countries had anything similar. or is it unique to the Philippines?
hmm, i remember a TV food show in New York hosted by a couple of relatively well known restaurant critics, and they had a bibingka tasting right on the show. they were raving about it, discussing it in detail, and I thought, cool, Americans are finally learning a bit about pinoy food.
Oct 18, 2006 | 7:44 am
this is making me sick. i love bibingka and to have an authentic one you have to be in the PI!
what I'm also craving for is turon!
when we go to Guam for a break from Japan (it's America in 3 hours – well almost America) I buy dozens of turon, have them wrap in foil; hand carry the whole pack and freeze when we get home. It's like having gold in my freezer! I have to ration these little bundles to my kids. Just stick however many you want to eat in the toaster oven and it's almost as good as freshly made turon.
Oct 18, 2006 | 10:20 am
gonzo: i remember that episode–it's the one with the guy with the mustache and the lady? the bibingka they had came from cendrillon by amy besa (with a recent post by MM).
Oct 18, 2006 | 10:39 am
art cooper of gq magazine, i'm not sure but i recall them enjoying a "bah bing kah"
Oct 18, 2006 | 11:08 am
I remember my dad coming back from Cebu (where he's from) bringing home goodies including Mandaue bibingka, Argao brojas and torta – both the tuba and Inglesa types, longganisa (or shortgannisa as Oggi calls them), masareal, bulad (anduhao, bolinao and danggit), dried nocos, and the oh-so-salty tinabal.
Yes, the tuba gives the Mandaue bibingka a distinct flavor.
Oct 18, 2006 | 4:24 pm
Mmmmm….I'm enjoying reading this while dreaming of eating bibingka right this minute…
Oct 18, 2006 | 11:53 pm
you just made me feel so homesick
kalami gyud ani
Oct 19, 2006 | 8:28 am
lami gyud. this is one of my fave desert. wish i was home.
Oct 19, 2006 | 6:24 pm
Hi! i miss those bibingkas! was in Cebu recently but didn't get to eat any – sigh! tinuud gyud, lami ang bibingka Mandaue!
Oct 20, 2006 | 3:06 am
I first got a taste of (and loved) these bibingkas in North Cotabato. Loved it to bits I had to beg my in-laws to please take it away from my sight for the sake of my expanding waist line. :) My husband said he used to cook it when he was a child and I'll try to get him to cook a batch. Will email an update when we do. :)
Oct 21, 2006 | 1:43 am
hmmmmm…. i love bibingka….. do you have a bibingka recipe???
Dec 19, 2006 | 3:43 am
Can you email me the recipe for this Bibingka,please! Thanks, Baby
Jan 29, 2008 | 3:36 am
Mmmmm, i missed the bibingka in Mandaue, cant find it here in Manila. Do you have recipe on this? Cant wait to try at home. Bibingka of Mandaue is one of the best bibingka I've ever taste, bibingka of Manila is totally different from the bibingka of Mandaue and some other places. Hopefully, anyone could get a recipe please post it here. Share to us! lami jud! Thanks!
Jul 7, 2008 | 1:14 pm

Aug 12, 2008 | 7:16 pm
Pastilan jhud you guys about to kill me, reading and thinking of bibingka and the picture above its killing me. Was at work yesterday and someone ask me where I'm from, I said and told him that I'm Pilipina raise and born in Mandaue. The first word that came out from his mouth was (bibingka) and from that point on I was thinking of bibingka driving all the home dreaming. It would be nice to just push a button and tada!!!! "Im in Manadaue eating bibingka". Oh! bulad suka na maanghang.
Gail! my mom cooks bibingka I used to help her cook when I was a little girl and I never ask her why she stop luto sa bibingka. Im calling her later and her for a recipe. Thanks to All!
Sep 7, 2008 | 4:02 am
Hello Mandaue Bibingka, i just want to ask where could I find the main store of mandaue bibingka?
I want to know where it is located. I'm from studio 23 top pick and I want to feature the store in our Top Pick season 2 Christmas episode. Plss contact me in my email whoever knows the exact location, and contact informations.
Thanks a lot!. WELLA

There are several kinds of bibingka's in Cebu.
But what is not very well known is Landa's Adult Bibingka and Landa's Baby Bibingka. The recipe and quality control is secret. Hopefully it will come out in the next few months.
Another is bibingka is the "kalag-kalag" bibingka made in the mountains of Butong, Argao, Cebu. "You can throw this against the wall and the bibingka will not crack," my late father used to comment.
Then there is Catmon's Roadside Bibingka. They used to be available only on Thursdays in Catmondaan. But now (2008) you can buy day along the road in Catmondaan, Catmon, Cebu.

It was a wild Girls Night Out to celebrate the birthday of two good friends born on the same day. It seems like we've all known each other 100 years....and the six degrees of separation are more like ONE. The intermingling of our lives is indescribable. So here's to Hope and Sally, and Stamie and Tracy, and Joanna and Michelle, and Julie and Shelly and Karen and the Mazzio family and Glory Smith!

Norman Brokaw, a true gentleman and one of my favorite people ever, has moved his office out of the William Morris building to one across the street in yet another building that had been owned by WM. Norman was the last WM employee to move out of that building. He started at WM in 1943 when he was 18, and made $25 a week (take home $17.50). He lived with a Murphy bed in a place for $65 a week. He's now chairman emeritus and WM sold three buildings in Bev Hills for $43 million. Congratulations Norman. He also just received the Governors Award from the TV Academy, the first agent to ever do so. Because of Danny Thomas and Bill Cosby, Norman packaged legendary TV shows. He has also represented three US presidents, Barbara Walters, Nancy Pelosi, Susan Hayward, Barbara Stanwyck, Clint Eastwood, Natalie Wood, and his long-time client (46 years) Kim Novak. Note her self-portrait on the wall.
His new office is just gorgeous, with big windows overlooking trees, his own conference room, and plenty of room for his signed photos. Now 83, Norman is still a dapper, brilliant gentleman. For cufflinks, he alternates between the gold William Morris cufflinks he got on his 30th anniversary of being an agent, and the sapphire presidential seal cufflinks that he was given by President Ford.

The private room and bar at Soho House were the site of a sensational Girls' Night Out birthday for our friend Danielle Del. Danielle is a talent manager, and is married to the adorable "Ernie the Attorney" Ernie Del. The martinis and Manolos were flowing freely as we partied into the night. Off the top of my head.......Dagny Dubelko, Dede Binder Goldsmith, Donna Antebi, Julie Araskog, Alexandra Dwek, Lisa Franchot (whose photographs you see here), Anne Kopelson, Carrie Wiatt, Joyce Arad, Tracy Danza.....and the beat goes on. The food was terrific, by the way.
Sunday, August 1, 2010
Over 700 people showed up at the Egyptian Theatre for a sold out "Platinum Tribute" to Kim Novak celebrating Sony's release of "The Kim Novak Boxed Collection" DVD set. There was a private reception for Kim earlier at the Essex Public House on Hollywood Blvd., and then we hid in the balcony to watch "Bell, Book & Candle." Kim's husband, Dr. Robert Malloy and Stephen Rebello, the moderator for the night joined us (of course). Poor Cinematheque had to turn away so many people.....
When Kim was introduced she received a two-minute standing ovation, and her Q&A, also moderated by Mary Melton of Los Angeles Magazine, was an emotional, moving, revealing and funny event. It was truly a love fest from both sides. After the event we went to Cut at the Beverly Wilshire, where the martinis flowed along with the lobster, steak, and extra appetizers from Wolfgang. Everyone at CUT was amazing to us. It DOES have the best food in the city. Thanks to Sony, American Cinematheque, Los Angeles Magazine, and mPRm. This event was one for the record books. Finally people got to see the real Kim, the warm, funny, intelligent, luminous legend.

He had worked for his local authority Parks and Landscapes department for over 26 years but had to leave his job in order to care for his wife who had suffered a number of severe health problems.
The drastic and sudden cut in their income meant they were unable to manage financially.
After Perennial had awarded a grant to pay for their bankruptcy costs the senior caseworker recommended that Andrew receive Perennial's regular Quarterly Benefit which allowed the couple to regain control of their finances and relieved some of the ongoing financial pressures they faced due to the drop in their income.
The caseworker continued to visit Andrew and his wife on a regular basis assisting them with Disability Living Allowance reviews for his wife and with a new application for Pension Credit once Andrew turned 60.
Unfortunately in 2012 Andrew became ill with both physical and mental health problems and became virtually housebound.
The caseworker visited several times to help with correspondence and also claimed Personal Independence Payment for "Andrew". He was awarded the enhanced rates for both the Daily Living Component and the Mobility Component.
Due to the length of time it took for a decision to be made on this claim "Andrew" received back pay of £3,590 with which he purchased a mobility scooter.
After months of being unable to go outside his home this gave him a great boost and allowed him to commence short journeys on his mobility scooter and help build his confidence.
The caseworker also applied for Carer's Allowance for Andrew's wife and for an increase in their Pension Credit. As a result their income has significantly increased.
Andrew and his wife now have peace of mind knowing they are able to pay for essential costs, for example heating bills and transport to and from hospital.

I am also an experienced exec coach. I specialise in working with executives on an individual level within organisations.
What I do
I offer individuals either open ended or short time limited therapy, depending on the needs of the individual. My practice is based within walking distance from Waterloo, in the heart of London, where I offer face to face, Skype or telephone sessions.
Additionally, I can also sessions in NorthWest London on Saturday mornings (by prior agreement).

My philosophy
I believe that everyone is an individual who takes part in the world in their own unique and wonderful way. I work with clients in an individualised way.
I have experience of working with clients with a wide range of clients of experience and backgrounds. I am sensitive to the difference between my own and others experiences, which I very much value.
Our uniqueness is dependent on our experiences and values, but when some of our experiences have been unhappy or hurtful, this can have a negative effect on how we look at, and react to, different situations. This can prevent us from feeling happy. My work is to help find new ways of reacting and being which can make us happy.

First on the list of priorities when she arrived was to apply a splint in order to stabilize her leg so that she wouldn't damage it worse. Then a couple of days of R&R to let her settle in. She's one bright sheep because she sussed out the situation quickly and soon relaxed. Good. By the way, I don't believe that most sheep are sharpest knife in the drawer. Occasionally I get one that can think.
Next, sedate her and fix that leg. While she was sedated, it was the perfect opportunity to shear off the excess wool. She will need to be sheared twice a year in order to prevent flystrike.
It's been a few weeks now and she's using the leg to walk. So I've removed the protective support splint to see how she would fare. Just fine. As long as she doesn't panic over something stupid and race off across the pasture, her leg should do fine without a splint while it continues to heal. The reason for removing the support splint early is that it's been a major headache tending to it. Twice a day I've had to remove and reapply it because of the rain we've been having. Leaving a wet splint on invites flies and infection....a no-no.
I haven't named this new girl yet, simply calling her Baaaaa, my generic sheep call. But now that I'm confident that her leg is healing and that she will be staying on the farm, it's time to dub her with a proper ewe name.
Any suggestions?

A war mascot monkey who died 70 years ago in a suspected booze-fuelled army lockdown in the
has been immortalised. Irish Republic
A statue of Tojo the monkey was erected in Clonakilty, west
, where he and a US Air Force crew made
an emergency landing in a war plane in 1943. Cork
A plaque marking the site at White's Marsh was also unveiled, as the anniversary of the local legend was celebrated.
Dena O'Donovan, who runs O'Donovan's Hotel where Tojo was buried, said his arrival and time in Clonakilty is one of the town's most-loved historical tales.
"It's a bizarre story, you couldn't make it up," she said.
Tojo, named after the Japanese prime minister of the time, was plied with food and drink - alien to a monkey diet - as the locals welcomed him and the crew into the community.
The crew was being held at the hotel, which was used as a temporary army barracks during the Second World War, until their identities were verified.
When Tojo died a number of days after their arrival, he was given a traditional Irish wake and funeral with military honours.
"Before his burial, Tojo was laid on a bed in one of the rooms upstairs and people queued throughout the hotel to see his body," Ms O'Donovan said.
"People were genuinely devastated when he died. Some say his little body couldn't handle the cold in
others say it was the food - monkeys have not been known to eat black pudding.
But others have said he was given quite a bit to drink." Ireland

In any big fight it helps to have someone in your corner and when it comes to breast cancer you want someone like Elyse Spatz Caplan and the people at Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
Elyse, who herself was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 1991, oversees educational programming for Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a nonprofit, that assists women newly diagnosed with, in treatment for, or recovering from breast cancer.
The organization's purpose is to advocate and support women with breast cancer to ensure they have the best quality of life they can have while battling the disease. Living Beyond Breast Cancer sponsors three large national conferences each year. They organize teleconferences, put out targeted publications on treatment and diagnosis and have programs for women of color.
For women facing the daunting diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, however – where the future is so unsure – it can be difficult simply dealing with the fear, anxiety, anger and guilt that often accompany a diagnosis and it can be hard to figure out the best treatment, said Elsye.
This is where Living Beyond Breast Cancer can help.
"All of us here try to help women become better self-advocates so that they get the care they need," she said. "A big part of what I do is get the information they need from their health care provider so they can make informed decisions for their wellbeing."
In case you missed any of the posts about the InVite Study, here they are:
– The Molecular Barcode of Cancer – Targeting Treatment to Patient
– Incorporating Technology and DNA Testing into Clinical Trials
– Participating in Genetic Research
– An Active Participant in Breast Cancer Research and in Life
Because metastatic breast cancer isn't curable, women with the diagnosis sometimes feel distanced from the broader breast cancer community.
"We've surveyed hundreds and hundreds of women over the years asking them what they need and want, and it's pretty accurate that they sometimes feel marginalized because they represent a smaller subset of all women with breast cancer."
For the majority of women with breast cancer, the diagnosis is made early, they receive some sort of treatment and they move into recovery. Breast cancer doesn't define their everyday life.
For women with metastatic breast cancer, their narrative is different. They have to come to terms with the idea that they'll be undergoing some sort of treatment for the rest of their lives. Living Beyond Breast Cancer tries to help them with the personal side of the diagnosis – how to tell family and friends, figuring out health insurance issues or whether to keep working – as well as treatment options.
"The women newly diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer who come to our organization tend to be information seekers," said Elyse. "They are hungry for information and want to learn as much as possible. We want them to feel armed with the information they need so they can ask the right questions and get the best possible treatment with the least amount of side effects."
Sometimes that also includes information about new treatments in the pipeline or promising clinical trials. Earlier this year 23andMe and Genentech launched an online study of metastatic breast cancer to learn more about how genes influence a person's response to treatment with bevacizumab, also known as Avastin ®. Living Beyond Breast Cancer is helping with the study as are our other partners including the Avon Foundation for Women, BreastCancer.Org, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network, the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, and Cancer Support.
"Many, many, many women want to know as much as they can about their cancer," said Elyse. "It's not just about themselves – they (also) worry about their family members – and if there is any genetic component that can be learned, these women … want to know. It might not be useful for them but it could be useful for other women in the future."

How to Get Over a Break-up
Getting over a break-up is not an easy thing but learning how to deal with emotions is necessary for your mental and emotional health. Find out how you can deal with a break-up so your life can go back to normal as quickly as possible.
How to get over a break-up has been a problem everyone had to deal with at least once during a lifetime. During the course of life, people try to find the right partner to spend their life with and feelings usually take over once you find the person which you believe would make you happy. Unfortunately knowing someone and discovering each other takes time, and sometimes getting to know someone better can change the initial opinion. Finding the right partner is no easy task this is why it becomes frustrating for many people.
How to react after a break-up
People have different personalities, thus a break-up can affect people differently. Some people can find themselves passing through the accommodation period much easier while others, who are more sensitive can have a very difficult time getting over the break-up.
One of the best things you can do when it comes to dealing with a break-up is accepting the situation without the blame. In a situation where a relationship just doesn't work anymore, one can just accept the situation and try to deal with it as best as one can. Blaming each other and getting depressed is certainly something that you should avoid as it will only bring more negative effects in your life. By thinking through rationally one can realize that you can't force a relationship to work and that you can make yourself pass through this.
Passing through a break-up will leave you emotional but with a little bit of will you can find yourself back with a smile and ready to meat new people.
Express yourself
When trying to pass and deal with a break-up it is best to avoid being alone as this might only aid depression. Try to follow these steps which can alleviate your emotional pain:
All these steps will make you feel better and make the healing process much easier. No one can expect to go through a break-up like nothing happened if feelings were involved but facing and accepting the situation will help you greatly.

Ever since the range-topping CT6 sedan was announced by Cadillac, we just keep getting more and more excited. And now, Cadillac is adding another phenomenal option: a plug-in hybrid for the CT6.
Cadillac made the announcement at the Shanghai Auto Show, but didn't say when it would be available. The standard gasoline-powered CT6 will be coming to dealerships in December, with the plug-in hybrid coming later.
With the hybrid system, Cadillac says the fuel efficiency should be at least double what the gasoline-powered version will get. While Cadillac didn't offer a number, industry experts expect it could be at least 40 mpg combined. It is also expected to offer a large enough all-electric driving range for most daily commutes.
"The first-ever CT6 is a technological showcase throughout, making it an ideal platform for Cadillac to offer its first plug-in hybrid," said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen, in a statement. "In the CT6, Cadillac presents a new formula for prestige luxury. The advanced Plug-In Hybrid system is a key addition, providing a combination of exceptional fuel economy, crisp acceleration and strong electric-driving range."
