"If you have $800,000, an entire town in New Zealand's Alps could be yours for the keeping.
The town of Otira - all 90 hectares of it - is owned by Bill and Christine Hennah. But they are now looking to retire, and Otira is up for sale. It comes with a former schoolhouse, fire station and 18 homes.
Much of the activity of this otherwise sleepy town revolves around one building, where the pub, hotel, café and post office are all rolled into one facility.
Al Jazeera's Gerald Tan reports from the town in the Southern Alps."

How about it Winston? It could be "Winstonville, New Zealand." Lol. You could have "Happier Abroad" spelled out on the mountains with big stone letters like the Hollywood letters. Then you could repopulate the town with young Filipina women. Hehe.

8 Tips for Developing Patience with Your Child
Parenting a child who is on the autism spectrum requires a lot of love and patience. The love comes naturally; the patience is something you learn to develop and cultivate. Because there are so many complex layers involved, it can be emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting. Planning and preparation help stave off some of the chaos and frustration. With that in mind, here are eight tips to help you develop patience with your child.
8. Remember to Remain Calm
Repetitive behaviors and having to repeat instructions can induce stress, catching you off-guard, and resulting in your own outbursts that just make things worse. One way to manage the situation is to take a few deep breaths, give yourself a time-out to assess the situation, and remember to remain calm. Help your child use their coping techniques or try distracting them. When you focus on the needed outcome, your calm reasoning filters out behaviors that prolong your child's emotional crisis.
7. Ask for Support
When you need support, ask for it. Whether you seek support online or in person, reaching out to friends, family, and professionals can help you cope with your needs so that you can meet your child's needs. If you can find a support group, you may discover an outlet for sharing information and advice with other parents who have children with autism. Assess what you need to lighten your load, and ask for help.

My dining room probably looks a lot like yours. There's a big table in the middle that seats eight. In the corner, there' a desk with a standard cordless phone.
A couple weeks ago, I had some college students sitting at my dining room table consuming vast amounts of food. While we ate, the phone on the desk rang. One of the students pointed to the ringing phone and exclaimed, "Look, a landline!"
It was as if he'd spotted a species of animal long thought to be extinct. It was like, "Look, a woolly mammoth!"
I never thought of my landline phone as outdated technology. But it's rapidly becoming so as cell phones and smart phones render landlines virtually obsolete.
For me to keep up with the latest in personal electronic gadgetry is one thing. For a credit union to keep up with the latest service delivery technologies is quite another.
If I invest in technology for my home that quickly becomes obsolete, no big deal. But if a credit union invests in a service delivery strategy that quickly becomes obsolete—that is a big deal.
Credit unions face the daunting task of figuring out which delivery channels members want, and what they will want in the future. Mobile banking looks like an investment many credit unions are willing to make.
And the investment might be more of a competitive necessity—all of the 10 largest retail banks in the U.S. currently offer mobile banking services.
Nearly 37% of U.S. adults whose primary financial institutions offer mobile banking have used it in the past year, according to Javelin Strategy and Research. And in the first half of 2009, the phrase "mobile banking" appeared in direct mail offers more than twice as often as in the first half of 2008, according to Mintel Comperemedia.
Before spending a dime on any technology or delivery channel, analyze your local market conditions and conduct reliable member research so you build your service delivery strategies around members' wants and needs.

Oat pumpkin waffles
Having these oat pumpkin waffles ready to be reheated in the freezer is made for those days when two minutes it's all I can spare to grab breakfast!I personally like a greener and denser breakfast to start my morning right!
I also love having them handy as a snack in my purse for when I know I will be out for a longer period!
That way I don't feel tempted by sugary and the over-processed stuff! Besides my little girl knows mommy always has some delicious snack for when her stomach calls for some attention!
I made these oat pumpkin waffles gluten free, they are easy to make, taste like a dream! They don't require loads of ingredients!
What to expect?
These oat pumpkin waffles are:
Delicious, vegan, gluten free, moist oat pumpkin waffles. No sugar added!
These oat pumpkin waffles are great with coffee or tea with some fresh fruits in the morning. Or if you are anything like me. Just pop a slice in the toaster, layer with seed butter, wash everything down with some ice-cold kombucha!
Divine! And yum!
Like I said it's not something I have every day. I only get one body; diverse food is what nourishes it! It's a nice change from smoothies, scrambled tofu, and porridges.
I sometimes make some delicious savory vegan breakfast! I've got a video on my top 3 here!

The glacial mills on Alp Mora are among the most beautiful and extraordinary natural formations in Flims Laax Falera. The Maliensbach stream, which originates on the Alp Mora in Trin, formed large basins here over the course of centuries. Today the basins stand in line like a string of pearls. The roughly 20 glacial mills are filled with crystal-clear, turquoise-coloured water once the snow has melted, presenting the perfect place to bathe during summer months. Lined up in a row, with views of the Safien valley, the glacial mills offer a spectacular photo opportunity.
The best way to explore this extraordinary location is to hike to the glacial mills on Alp Mora. You can start the hike in either Trin or Bargis, which you can easily reach via the Flims Laax Falera shuttle. From Bargis, you make the first ascent to Alp Lavadignas. From here, you continue hiking along the striking cliffs, as far as the Muletg mountain valley, past the Platt'Alva avalanche barrier. From here, you are just a few minutes away from the glacial mills. The hike there and back from Bargis takes approximately 6.5 hours.
From Trin, you will hike in the shade of trees along the old alpine trail until you also reach the Platt'Alva avalanche barrier. The hike takes approximately three hours. And the descent takes around two hours.
Bathing in the glacial mills requires a little courage, as the name suggests. Situated at an altitude of 2,100 metres above sea level, the pools do warm up somewhat during the summer, but are not for the faint-hearted. However, a quick leap into the crystal-clear water is marvellously refreshing and makes for a real adrenalin rush. The glacial mills are even filled when the Maliensbach runs dry.
The glacial mills on Alp Mora were formed from whirlpools in the Maliensbach stream and from the constant rolling of stones, sand and gravel. Natural bathing pools were etched into the rock in this way over the course of centuries. Each glacial mill is unique. Some are circular in shape and quite shallow, while others are elliptical and deep enough to bathe in.

When I was growing up as a Fundagelical Christian, one of the objections to religion I would hear sometimes was that it was a "crutch." Actually, I would usually hear this FROM religious people as an EXAMPLE of a criticism of religion that THEY [claimed to have] heard. They would then instantly dismiss it without really saying why. I don't even remember hearing [at the time] a full explanation of what it would mean for religion to be a "crutch"—the implication is that religion is for "weak-minded" people who can't handle the fact that nothing happens when you die or whatever. In the process of becoming an atheist, on the other hand, I don't recall hearing this argument [nearly as often] from actual atheists or critics of religion. That doesn't mean that there are no atheists who [have] use[d] this argument in some form. It just means that, for example, this particular "argument" [almost certainly] had nothing to do with my "deconversion." It's just as well, because it's a bad argument. It's clearly a strawman. It's obviously not fair to assert that all religious people are weak-minded and need some kind of collective hive-mind to do [all of] their thinking for them. However, as I implied earlier, this "argument" is kind of a strawman in both directions: On the one hand, there is no criticism of or argument against religion that I would consider serious that would incorporate such an insult, but on the other hand, it would be disingenuous for a person to say that not all Christians are complete idiots and then pretend/insinuate that they had defeated a claim that was in some way foundational [or even relevant] to atheism or anti-theism.
I see this as similar to the case of using the word "delusion" to describe religious belief. RationalWiki defines "delusion" thusly [emphasis added]:
A delusion is an aggressively-held belief that is demonstrably false. It is commonly (but not exclusively) the result of a mental condition, such as schizophreniaThe article continues:
Richard Dawkins, [in] The God Delusion [...] asserted that the question of God's existence was tied to the question of special creation, and then argued that since special creation has largely been demonstrated to be false, belief in God is a delusion 1Of course, it IS true that many religions do incorporate these "aggressively-held," "demonstrably false" [or at least unfalsifiable] beliefs. And I realize that the article does mention that "delusion" is not "exclusively" attributable to a "mental condition." I also realize that having a mental condition could potentially contribute to one's "delusional" [religious] beliefs. However, we should be careful about associating religion with mental illness. In our [justifiable] efforts to characterize religion as an unreasonable system of thought, we shouldn't contribute to the stigmatization of or misconceptions about the mentally ill. If anything, "delusional" religious/spiritual beliefs are a "testament" to the human ability to compartmentalize contradictory thoughts & beliefs, which is not a bug, but a feature of the human mind-brain. It is also evidence AGAINST "intelligent" design [unless God is The Ultimate Troll, which, "according to the scriptures," He conveniently is (emphasis on the "HE")].
Of course, there is substantial evidence available for one to make a case that the "delusional" charge is merely a response to the "blindness" charge that Christians [and their predecessors] have been leveling at skeptics since time immemorial! But for now, I'll just focus on one relatively recent example.
A lot of [the lyrics of] Christian music paints a rather bleak portrait of doubt and skepticism [about God/religion]. They tend to see it as a constant struggle to refuse to see/deny the sight of what's right in front of you, and assert that you'll be better off if you "surrender" this doubt to God. The band Jars of Clay and the song "Blind" from their eponymous debut album are no exception. I was just going to post a few lines, but I couldn't. The whole thing was just too "good."
Cynical, just your wayAlright. So this is essentially bigotry against people who have rejected or are skeptical of Christianity:
You play the doubting Thomas
Feel the scars and wipe the stains
So you fight, and retreat
And talk yourself out of believing
in any peace that you can't see
Blind words you call
Blind words will fall
You're logical, you can't find
any reason to believe in love
you are blind
Crucify, and deny, pass the blame and burn the mission
Till dust remains and wash your hands
"You're just PLAYING Doubting Thomas! Why are you so prideful!? Stop trolling and kneel before Lord YHWH, already! Or you'll be sorry! Motherfucker!"Woah. Hey. What the fuck! Alright, so I guess you're not going to give me ANY credit for coming to the beliefs I hold [or don't hold] in any kind of thoughtful, rational way. Is that what's going on here? What would it take for you to drop that assumption? Seriously.
"You can't believe in love if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master! (Because they're the same 'thing'!)"Right. And "when I say 'I,' Rabbi, I'm saying 'God'!" It's actually difficult for me to imagine anything more insulting. I honestly don't think I would feel more insulted and dehumanized if Dan Haseltine himself called me a "spic" and told me to sit in the back of the bus—AFTER punching me in the face!
"You only believe in what you can see!..."Um, you DO know there are other ways of sensing and detecting various phenomena, right? It would be much more accurate to say that I prefer to withhold belief and/or acceptance of claims until they have been empirically verified or demonstrated. Is there something WRONG with that?
"...but you're blind, so because you can't see anything, you must not believe in anything, either!"OK, so this is where it gets REALLY interesting. Mr. Haseltine is obviously speaking metaphorically here, but that might actually make it worse. Blindness is a disability, whereas the type of "blindness" he's talking about is, as I said earlier, a denial or refusal. If it were a disability, it would only be fair to accommodate for it somehow. But religionists who use the language of disability still blame us for our "condition." That doesn't seem fair. I think they should at least choose one or the other.
This is where it kind of comes back around. "Delusion" is a response to "blindness," but the "opposite" of blindness [in the sense of not seeing what's right in front of you] is actually "hallucination," which IS generally the result of, if not outright psychosis, then at least some kind of altered mental state. And here, we're getting into the same territory we were getting into earlier in which I advised against using language that could contribute to the stigmatization of the mentally ill and/or disabled.
However, there actually is a sense in which religion is or at least CAN BE like a crutch. Religion usually tells people that ["bad news"], they're intrinsically flawed, but ["good news"], the church has some kind of magical solution to this "problem" that will allow you to be fulfilled and become the person God intelligently-designed you to be! I realize it's not the most original observation to say that this is bullshit—that it's like telling you your leg is broken in order to sell you a crutch [as someone said, for example, on a recent episode of "The Atheist Experience"]. But, [as Matt Dillahunty said on last week's TAE show], "There's no god to fill the not-god-shaped hole that's not in your heart." By the way, "God-Shaped Hole" is the name of another Christian song by the band Audio Adrenaline [which, incidentally, has the same syllables and meter as my made-up name. gasp!!!]. And just to show you yet another angle on this, here's a post by Dan Fincke of "Camels With Hammers" on how "sin" is a bullshit term/concept [so to speak].
Well, it would appear that I've tied up this post quite neatly, if I do say so myself. You might have been worried a bit there in the middle, but hopefully I came through all right. This paragraph is mostly to avoid such an abrupt appearance of the tag line, anyway, which I've had for the past 5 years, but it's not like it's something that's beyond questioning as to whether I still need it. Anyway, happy trials, Tyrion!
1I suppose I should point out that I haven't actually read The God Delusion, so I can only assume that Dawkins was referring to a belief in any kind of "special creation" [not just, say, young-earth creationism]. Maybe there are God-beliefs that don't incorporate any kind of "special creation," but that's not what the vast majority of people mean when they say or think about "God." I would argue that the "special creation" of Deism, though perhaps not "demonstrably false," would, at least currently, fall into the category of "unfalsifiable" or at least "not [sufficiently] clearly defined."

Book 13 – LED Drivers
Zhaga Book 13 defines the interface specifications of LED drivers (also known as electronic control gear, or ECG) that can be used in combination with a wide range of non-integrated LED modules.
In June 2017, Zhaga published a significantly updated version (Edition 2.0) of Book 13. This reduces complexity in the market by having significantly fewer mechanical form-factors than the earlier version. Overall, Edition 2.0 features only 27 categories, compared with 78 in Edition 1.0.
Also, Book 13 now addresses the electrical interface between LED drivers and LED modules, which is critical in determining whether components are interoperable.
For the module-driver electrical interface, Zhaga has chosen to reference specifications from MD-SIG, a global industry consortium. Where drivers and modules are compliant with the LEDset Power Interface specification from MD-SIG, this allows a meaningful comparison of product data to see if the driver-module combination is a viable option.
MORE DETAILS - Mechanical interface
The reduction in mechanical form-factor categories represents consensus on a global basis among leading LED driver manufacturers. Removing unnecessary variations in components is a key feature of Zhaga standardization, and is highly beneficial for LED-driver vendors, luminaire makers and customers alike.
In Book 13 Edition 2.0, the categorization of product types has been simplified and the number of LED driver form-factors has been reduced to 27. Book 13 covers only "built-in" drivers, which are intended for mounting inside a luminaire or inside another separate enclosure. "Independent" drivers are not covered.
Zhaga has defined two broad categories, based on the number of mounting holes. For the 2-hole category, there are 17 form-factor categories based on different driver sizes, and there are a further 10 form-factors for the 4-hole category.
Zhaga uses a demarcation model to define the maximum volume that the driver can occupy. The demarcation also defines the minimum volume that needs to be provided inside the luminaire to enable mounting of the driver. For the 2-hole category of drivers, the driver itself can have either 1 or 2 mounting holes, located along the centre axis of the driver, while a compliant luminaire should have 2 mounting holes in corresponding positions. Similarly, for the four-hole category the driver can have 2, 3 or 4 mounting holes, at the corners of the demarcation area, while the luminaire should have 4 mounting holes.

» Business student numbers up while USM total enrollment is down
By TED CARTER / Hattiesburg Business Today
Faye Gilbert narrowly missed getting to inaugurate a new home for the College of Business and Economics at Radford University in Virginia, where she served as business school dean.
But the opportunity arose anew upon her arrival at the University of Southern Mississippi in summer 2013 to become the first woman to serve as dean of the College of Business.
Making the appointment doubly sweet was a return to the university from which she earned bachelor and master degrees in business administration in 1983 and 1984, respectively.
She accepted the USM post just as Radford University was completing construction of its new business and economics building. That USM was building the 93,000 square-foot Scianna Hall influenced her decision to pursue the job, she said in a recent interview.
"I had just built a building at Radford. I thought I could bring what I had learned in that process to help build this one." the Ocean Springs native said. "Knowing I was going to get to move into this building was so uplifting."
Now that the college has been in Scianna Hall for more than a year, Gilbert said she can accurately describe the new home as a "transformative step in business education" for the University of Southern Mississippi.
"This is taking us several steps up," she said.
Scianna Hall is next to the Trent Lott National Center for Excellence in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship, facing U.S. 49 South. It opened in fall 2015.
Students and professors can arrange their classroom setups to their choosing and have access to technology that has expanded the reach and connections of the instruction, she said.
"Each classroom now has LED screens as well as screens up front," giving views of the screens to students "no matter what way they are facing," Gilbert added.
Also, each classroom can be connected visually to the college's satellite campus in Long Beach.
"Perhaps the most precious benefit of Scianna Hall is the space it provides for students to gather," the dean noted. "Our building is filled with students studying in the Lock Commons, sitting in the Mississippi Power Foyer, or gathering in groups in our study rooms. They use the benches on the 3rd floor to read and they use empty classrooms to practice presentations."
Visiting deans, Gilbert said in an email, have called Scianna Hall an "exemplar for blending the right amount of technology with gathering spaces that foster student learning."
A visitor to Scianna Hall can walk into a marketing lab that may resemble a google workspace, Gilbert noted, citing the informal setting as more comfortable – and thus more productive – for the current generation of students focused on addressing marketing issues and problems more creatively than their earlier counterparts.
"If you want to sit on the floor, that is fine. Just deliver the answer," Gilbert said.
Accounting classrooms have more traditional tiered seating that gives students a way to keep their materials in front of them.
By contrast, in sports management you will find students rearranging the room to conform to whatever the day's instruction will be, Gilbert said.
Planning for the new business school home began at the end of the last decade. USM officials projected that student enrollments would soon greatly outpace the accommodations available in the business college's home in Greene Hall.
Today, the College of Business is growing while enrollment in other majors is declining. Enrollment in the business college has climbed by 5.6 percent to 2,300 students since 2014. Enrollment in the MBA program has jumped 37 percent in the same period, with more than 100 student s now pursuing master degrees.
Those increases have come despite a 2,000-student enrollment dip for the university this year.
General business administration has had the largest growth the last couple years, according to Gilbert, who attributes the increases to the combination of instruction online, in-person and a mix of the two. "They don't buy the album. They buy the playlist," she said of today's students.
Accounting graduates are most in demand, Gilbert said. "We have 100 percent placement for our students in accounting at the graduate level. With much of the demand coming from regional firms such as Ridgeland's HORNE and such national firm as KPMG, BKD and Deloitte.
USM business grads who responded to a career survey last spring showed an acceptance rate for graduate school of 81 percent, up from 72 percent in 2014.

This Poor Pup Was Left in the Cold for MONTHS! Won't Someone Please Adopt Him?
This poor puppy and his dad were left alone at a cold lake bed in California, and weren't discovered for months. Thankfully, the Morongo Basin Humane Society was able to rescue Hunter and his dad, Boomer, before it was too late.
Hunter and Boomer are feeling much better now. However, since Hunter went without human contact for so long, he's a bit skittish around new people, and needs a little extra time and trust before he shows his playful and loveable side.

Part 2: The wild and crazy rolls on (mostly…)
Welcome back to my Albanian weekend adventure tale! We left off with me, hot dog and the rest of the gang chilling out at the hairy lemon hostel in Saranda and eating pancakes.
Disclaimer: This is the second of a two part series about the road trip that I went on last weekend, to get caught up on the cast and the plot check out part 1 here.
After saying goodbyes with promises to return to the hairy lemon in the future, we zoomed a little further south to the next ancient ruins on our agenda, the city of Butrint. Nuño, who has self admitted to failing the driving test five times in Spain was behind the wheel on the way to Butrint. He fit right in here in Albania with their driving style (We love you Nuño!).
Bonus shot to get things rolling – check out these cute kids on the road!
For anyone thinking of travelling to Albania do not miss Butrint! I really don't think the pictures I took do it justice, but it was really a fascinating complex with lots to explore. Also another travel tip we learned at Butrint, fake being a tour group even if you aren't. While it doesn't always work, there are potential discounts to be found this way. Dishonest? Yes – but we are all on poor volunteer budgets trying to still afford seeing the historical sights so I think the karma gods may forgive us.
Butrint was a port city from Hellenistic to Ottoman times, and now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the Straits of Corfu. In my opinion, It is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the Adriatic Sea region.
After Butrint we began to circle back north, headed for the Ottoman city of Gjirokaster, but not before stopping off at the blue eye. The blue eye during communist times was an area that only the party elite could go, this sort of restriction in the past is usually a tip that something will be good. I expected more of a lake, with a name like the blue eye, but it turned out to be a freshwater spring and river flowing from it.
You can see why the communist elite kept this from the common people.
What do reasonable people do when they come across a pool of 10 degree C water? Oh they jump in of course! Let me include here – it is not warm outside! To some this would seem like a death defying stunt. Andreas is leaving Albania so for him it was now or never, but for Anouk and I we will be back so there was no rush to go for it…
It was almost dark by the time we made to Gjirokaster and we had just enough time to sneak in a visit to the creepy castle which sits above the town. Gjirokaster is the center of Greek culture in Albania, and I think has the potential to have some real charm but we all felt there was just something a little too quiet and a strange vibe throughout the town. I plan on going back to confirm this and delve deeper into what is going on here. Regardless, as I think you will see we had fun!
The main difference I would say between sight seeing in Albania and other countries that I have travelled with similar sights like Italy and Croatia, is that here there are no rules and not much is off limits or preserved. There are sights that are exceptions but there just is not enough money to go around in Albania to preserve and curate all of the castles, historical sights, etc. As a result, make sure you don't fall off a castle wall and bring a headlamp to go down that dark unlit damp corridor. And keep an eye out for rats…
This was an american spy plane that had to land in communist albania during the cold war after it experienced technical issues. Of course we decided to ride it.
Headed back to Tirana, about a 4 hour drive from where we were in the south, we decided that we had a little extra time and that what we really needed was to find the beach. Seems easy enough right?
Based on the directions in the Bradt guide to Albania we were right on track to pass Karavasta Lagoon, which happens to also have a beach on the Adriatic sea. This sounded like an ideal place to have some lunch, catch some of the last sunshine of the weekend and just generally chill out after bombing back up from the coast.
One little relevant detail that you should know about google maps is that they don't really work in Albanian. Intellectually I know this, but to be honest there is just something so compelling about a technological device telling you to go just a little bit further!
We followed the books directions and seemed to be on the right track, but 30 minutes later and seemingly in the middle of nowhere with google maps telling us to go down this road.
We decided after a little ways down the road that maybe it would be a better idea to turn back. Unfortunately it was too late, hot dog even in four wheel drive just couldn't handle it.
The end result was me covered in mud, but hot dog free to roll on. Notice Anouk was smart and stayed off over to the side and emerged from our adventure mud free. I was not so lucky… As a result walking through Tirana after dropping hot dog off I got plenty of looks and comments.
But we may have never made if home if a wonderful albanian guy working on his house had not seen us and come to the rescue. Lesson learned, laughs had, and once again we experience the overwhelming helpfulness and hospitality of the albanian people.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Albanian adventures! Until next time, Mirupafshim!

Yep, you probably don't often think of your big toe unless you are stubbing it on some concrete path or whacking it on some furniture, but it's a key joint for balance and locomotion- not to mention running. As you push off, your big toe must extend which causes your plantar fascia to tighten which helps to stabilize the foot. This rigidity it causes in your foot as it extends is good because it makes a strong lever for propulsion.

By Raquel Florez and Emily Holland
Spain and Chile have approved National Action Plans (NAPs) on business and human rights. In doing so, they join a number of countries – France, Germany, Switzerland and the United States most recently – that have more clearly defined their commitments to the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) and prepared the ground for potential, downstream national laws and regulations in the field. Here, we highlight key developments from some recently released NAPs for the business community.
By way of background, NAPs are government-commissioned strategies to help states fulfill their responsibility to protect against human rights abuses within their territories and/or jurisdictions by third parties, including businesses. They establish states' forward-looking priorities, including legislative and regulatory goals, and address issues related to accountability, transparency and participation.
The UNGPs do not explicitly require NAPs, or even mention them. They do highlight the need for policy coherence to promote corporate respect for human rights. Principle 8 asks states to ensure that government agencies and institutions tasked with shaping business practices are informed of and observe states' human rights obligations. Principle 9 addresses the need for an appropriate domestic policy space that enables states to meet their human rights obligations with other states and business enterprises. Principle 10 encourages states to use their membership in multilateral institutions constructively, which is to say ensure that they do not deter other states from meeting their duties to protect human rights or impede companies from respecting human rights.
Several institutions have urged the development of NAPs or recognized their importance. The European Commission issued a request to EU Member Countries to produce plans for the implementation of the UNGPs in 2011. The UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights has developed dedicated guidance for states on best practices for developing, implementing and revising plans. A recent declaration from the G20 Leaders Summit committed participants to establish "adequate policy frameworks … such as national action plans on business and human rights and underline the responsibility of businesses to exercise due diligence."
Several countries, the majority of them European, have implemented NAPs in response. The UK was the first to do so in September 2013; that plan has already been updated in May 2016. It was followed by the Netherlands in December 2013; Denmark and Finland in April and October 2014; Lithuania, Sweden, Norway and Colombia throughout 2015; Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the United States in December 2016; France in April 2017; Spain in July 2017; and Chile in August 2017. Publicly available data from the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights and the Business & Human Rights Resource Center suggests that a number of other countries, particularly in Latin America and Africa, are either drafting NAPs or have announced that NAPs will be developed, or that national human rights institutions or CSOs are encouraging their development.
While the plans vary in scope, as noted in several assessments including a recent report from the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable, there are certain features common to all (or most): reference to and/or integration of the Ruggie "Protect, Respect and Remedy" Framework and/or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; identification of relevant, domestic legislation and policies; defined expectations on what constitutes appropriate business conduct; and activities that are in progress, planned or being considered to address specific policy issues.
Thus far, the reception to NAPs has been mixed, with both accolades and criticism levied upon governments for the processes used to develop NAPs, as well as their content. Blame, where it occurs, generally focuses on states' silence on or perceived reluctance with respect to introducing binding mechanisms that would require human rights-related due diligence or reporting. What follows are key takeaways from recently released plans, including those of Spain and Chile.
The Swiss NAP, released on 9 December 2016, discusses the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and the government's expectations for business in general terms. For the most part, it focuses on Pillars I and III, as opposed to Pillar II of the UNGPs (which articulates that corporates have a responsibility to respect human rights). As the plan notes, Switzerland has adopted a separate Corporate Social Responsibility policy that addresses a variety of issues, including human rights, working conditions, the environment and corruption. The NAP describes this policy as "complementary and of equal status" to the NAP for the purpose of fulfilling the "Ruggie Strategy for Switzerland" adopted by the Swiss parliament in 2012. Noteworthy features include: (i) the NAP's reference to the "smart mix" of binding and non-binding mechanisms that, according to the plan, the Swiss government looks to in order to fulfil its duty to protect against human rights abuses; and (ii) a description of mechanisms the government uses to encourage human rights-related due diligence and reporting, neither of which is required by law. Among other things, the plan commits the government to establish a "good practice award" to recognize companies with exceptional contributions to the field of business and human rights.
United States
The US NAP, released on 16 December 2016, discusses responsible business conduct broadly as opposed to focusing on business and human rights specifically. The plan exhorts companies operating abroad, and in conflict-affected areas in particular, to conduct due diligence and reporting; business-related human rights issues on US soil are not discussed. In light of what the plan describes as "sparse" tools and resources that are available to companies, it references thematic government reports and international company profiles that the government has made available to help businesses navigate investments and potential business partners. The plan also pledges to create a repository of US government reports relevant to operating environments in particular countries. The NAP finally refers to enhanced enforcement around US laws relating to forced labor or convict labor, identifying the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015, which empowered US Customs and Border Protection with the right to seize goods suspected of being produced with child or forced labor at the border (see here and here for further analysis). No additional, future regulatory measures are discussed.
The German NAP, issued on 21 December 2016, articulates the government's expectation that all businesses, but especially those working in countries considered to be high-risk from a human rights perspective, incorporate ongoing human rights due diligence into their operations. According to the plan, this encompasses: (i) issuing public statements; (ii) assessing potential negative impacts on human rights; (iii) defining and periodically assessing measures to prevent potential negative impacts on human rights; (iv) implementing information and reporting systems; and (v) introducing complaints mechanisms. Of note, starting in 2018, the government will annually assess how companies apply these key elements on human rights due diligence. Furthermore, the NAP sets a target whereby at least 50 percent of German companies with more than 500 employees must integrate the key elements of human rights due diligence by 2020. Should German companies fail to reach this target, the government may consider possible steps, including "legal avenues" (i.e., potential laws and regulations), to compel behavior.
France's recently passed Corporate Duty of Vigilance Law, described in a previous post, requires large French companies (those with over 5,000 employees in France or over 10,000 employees worldwide) to design and implement vigilance plans to identify and prevent human rights breaches due to their activities in France or globally. The French NAP, released on 26 April of this year, indicates that government activities are actively underway to: (i) enforce this law; (ii) promote the concept of a "duty of vigilance" at the European level, with a view to the adoption of a common framework on the basis of the legislative framework adopted in France; and (iii) engender in France and in Europe more broadly investment policies taking the duty of vigilance into account. The plan pays particular heed to the OECD National Contact Point (NCP) process: emphasizing a need to ensure the proper functioning of the French NCP, asking for better cooperation between NCPs and civil society, requesting increased support from the OECD to NCPs in general, and highlighting the need to continue disseminating a report from the French NCP following the Rana Plaza incident and implementing and monitoring various recommendations it made with respect to the French clothing and textiles industry.
Spain and Chile
With respect to the latest plans, neither Spain's nor Chile's NAPs reference proposals to issue binding commitments to compel human rights due diligence or reporting. The Spanish NAP, released on 28 July 2017, encourages businesses to release human rights policy statements and to conduct human rights due diligence and prioritizes companies where it holds a financial, political or diplomatic interest. The plan also includes commitments by the government to encourage company reporting on human rights-related issues and due diligence that companies conduct. The Chilean NAP, released on 21 August 2017, focuses in large part on what ministries will do to socialize the NAP through a variety of engagement tools. It promotes human rights due diligence within business operations and supply chains and references industry guides that will be developed by the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism to help companies in this regard, and another guide for public companies to help them report on human rights and corporate responsibility issues.
Much remains to be seen as to how effective the NAPs are and, with respect to Spain's and Chile's plans, how they are received. Further information on NAPs published to date can be found through the Business and Human Rights Resource Center and the website of the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights.

This blog is where I come to organize and express my thoughts. It has also become a great place to share the many things I enjoy.
My posts are not based on any one theme; instead they are a collection which reflects my own interests. There are definitely some aspects of my life which will appear more frequently (music, music, and more music) but almost anything could appear here.
I am a huge fan of music and I love to read. I enjoy spending time with my friends and I love to sing. I'm not in any bands… more of a karaoke and Rock Band singer for now. I started guitar lessons this year but I don't expect to be a rock star any time soon. There are many other things I'd like to learn but I'm going to have to petition for shorter work days and more vacation time if I want to fit them in!
Baking is something I love to do and I've dedicated an entire blog and business to it. If you're hungry and local I'm always taking orders!
I also have my own online shop called Blue Sky Design which displays the hand crafted jewelry I make. I hope you'll check it out or take a peak at my design blog over here.
Please feel free to comment on my posts. I love to know when people are reading my ramblings. Please note that this is a personal blog and if you don't agree with me feel free to click on past. If you are interested in what I have to say please come back often!
Grab a martini and enjoy your visit!

In my opinion, he focuses on many kinds of stuff that are our concerns in our everyday life and help us to get along and dealing with them better
People don't know how to listen, and it's not their fault
In school, we learn how to read, we learn how to write
but nobody teaches you how to listen

?What is the singularity
The term singularity describes the moment when a civilization changes so much that its rules and technologies are incomprehensible to previous generations
Most thinkers believe the singularity will be jump-started by extremely rapid technological and scientific changes
Maybe it's interesting for you too, to know that a university was founded in 2008 by Peter Diamandis and Ray Kurzweil
: that was named
Singularity University
According to its website, it focuses on scientific progress and "exponential" technologies

Viva forever by Spice Girls
One of the other my very best favorite songs is: Viva forever, by Spice Girls.
When you listen to it, it fills your soul with a lot of softness, warmth and elegance. Beside the nice and amazing it's song, it has a nice and lovely Lyrics that I really love it's combination.
I like you search this song from the internet and listen to it too, and hope you enjoy it like me.
Do you still remember, how we used to be
Feeling together, believing whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave you
We'd only just begun
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one
Yes I still remember, every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I'd heard
Slippin' through our fingers, like the sands of time
Promises made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one
Back where I belong now, was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Everlasting (everlasting), like the sun (like the sun)
Live forever (live forever), for the moment (for the moment)
Ever searching (ever searching) for the one (for the one)
Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever (live forever), for the moment
Ever searching for the one.

Our Comments!
Everyday we are reading the various comments from different people in the bottom of some posts in some websites.
A lot of comments from a lot of people.
What do you think of that?
Do you agree with me that word to word and sentence to sentence of these comments, can introduce us and what we realy are, what we think, what we feel and maybe many other aspects of us to others?
I think the comments can be a thin slice for readers to catch a general perception of us.
About Surface thinking and choosing a cross-cut and banal way to reach the goals
Have you ever seen some people that usually choice the cross-cut and easiest way and make more banal decision to reinforcement their will and motivation to reach their goals or desires?
Seems, they know well to rationalization and justification these decisions for themselves and others and also be very happy about it.
But I think, they forgot a precious point.
Maybe somewhat they reach to those goals or desires, but never touch them with their soul and their heart, and maybe don't experiment the joy of road's ups and downs and never train their inner skills muscles and the ability to develop their will power. Then, the motivation that acquired with this way and by a surface thinking, sooner or later disappears or at least becomes pale again.
Maybe occasionally I was the same kind of those people… I don't know…, but now I know very well that I don't want to be anymore…
A method to finding a main idea for writing and developing it
Sometimes we like to write something, but it does seem hard to write anything and no idea comes into our mind.
Recently I read an interesting essay and it had told that one method to reach this purpose is to sit down and write anything about your today routine life, without stopping for five or ten minutes, and called this: Free-Writing.
Then look over your free-writing and underline anything that seems interesting or important to you. Now your free-writing may trigger an idea that will focus your description. So concentrate on this idea and develop your writing about that.
In developing a paragraph, (1) begin with a topic sentence (that is the same main idea) (2) develop the main idea (topic) by a series of related sentences that explain the idea fully and (3) concludes with a sentence that restates or summarizes the main idea.
This method seems simple, interesting and useful. doesn't it?
The spring will come
The blossoms have opened. The trees have sprouted. The birds are singing. The sweet breeze is blowing. The flowers surrounded by butterflies.
All because the Spring is coming.
The Spring will come…
Vivo Per Lei!
One of the most amazing duet love song that i'v have ever heard is a song called "Vivo Per Lei".
Vivo Per lei (in Italian) means (in English): "I Live for Her"
This version of Vivo Per Lei recorded by Andrea Bocelli (in italian) as duet with Judy Weiss (in German-speaking countries).
The song was also released as a duet with other female artists, including Marta Sánchez (in Spain and Spanish America), Hélène Ségara in francophone countries, Sandy Leah Lima in Brazilian Portuguese and Bonnie Tyler in English (source)
Each time I listen to this very beautiful and emotional song, I realy enjoy…
I stand for being natural, and love life in the natural way!
One of the most important values in my life, is being and remaining natural, in manner, in thoughts and in emotions.
In my opinion, the importance, value, simplicity and beauty of every behavoiur, lies in having the most naturally quantity, not for the sake of being fake or copy or dummy or….And lies In the manners that needn't be deliberate and planned.
What do you think about that…?
How the World will look like in the next 50 years?
I always interested in reading and hearing and exploring about the World and the Universe and all the amazing things that relevant to it and the future of that.
Recently I've read an interesting article about the future of world. it was saying that, "to be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way."
The article answered the question "What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years?" this way:
"If you take away all gadgets that people in some part of the world are using for entertainment, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc.
In general the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human strive for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years."
But, really why predicting the future is important to us?
As it said: "for two reasons; first we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future."
…You can read more about this interesting matter in this page if you interested in, and maybe after the reading that, the bird of fantasies about the future of world, flies in your mind, like me!
Remembering a singer
Many years ago, when I was a teenager, I had a very favorite and lovely singer and I enjoyed about her style in singing and the rhythm of her music.
Her name was Sandra.
Recently I remembered her and decided to search in net and find her songs and listen to her music again. I really enjoyed to remembered her lovely songs.
Little but great men!
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a lovely and very thinkable short film, and I liked to share it with you all.
The teacher had promised to his little students – before the final exam – if one of them acquire the best result in exam and show him that he understand the lesson well, he will award him a lovely prize.
Then, after the exam, teacher went to classroom and told: "My dear students. The result of all of you were very well and I'm satisfied of all of yours.
Now, I don't know really what should be done and give this prize to which of you?
While he pointed with his hand to the prize, he told: "meanwhile the prize is a pair of beautiful shoe!" and continued: "Maybe it's better that we draw. Do you agree with me? Univocal all of the kids with a load voice said:"YES!"
"Ok … Now i want each of you, to write your names on a tiny piece of paper and fold it and drop into my mug.
All of the kids did whatever their teacher had ask them although they whispered with each other when they were writing their names.
Long story short, Then, the teacher shook his mug that was full of tiny folded papers of student's names, and pick up one of them and unfolded it. classroom was very quiet and all of kids waiting to hear the lucky person's name!
Teacher declared with a load voice:
"The winner is Amin!"
Students turned to Amin and clapped and applauded him.
The eyes of Amin was full of tears and also other students!
The teacher became a little curious and decided to unfold the other papers. again and again …
He shocked!
On all of the papers had wrote only ONE name: Amin!
Now it was the teacher that wept!
Then the camera (in the short film) slow was showing under the benches and one by one legs and shoes of kids and when reached the Amin's shoes, the camera stopped.
He was wearing a pair of very old and ragged shoes.
Also, enjoy these beautiful pictures of our amazing nature on this page:

|The Woodcutter crew looking lean and mean
|Balance of a mountain goat, me.
It's been ages since my last post. The last few weeks have been filled with back-to-back work and training, very little sleep and a severe lack of time to think. Not that I'm complaining .. lots of work is always a good thing, but I'm completely and utterly knackered.
|Gender specific medals at the 2XU run
This week just gone has been another crazy packed one, and finally managed to get out on the trail this morning with some of the other ultra-runners. I was introduced to some new routes and we all ran the Woodcutter's Trail for the first time as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the run today, lovely muddy trail with river crossings and lots of exposed roots, and nice to know that there's a different trail to explore!

Around 1562, the Percussive Shamisen is believed to had its first evolution out of the Chinese instrument sanxian.
At that time, the instrument entered into two geographical areas, in Kansai, in the cities of Sakai and Osaka and in the port of Hakata in Kyushu where the instrument was played by blind priests.
The Percussive Shamisen it's about 1 meter (3 feet) long and has three strings. It is made of two wooden parts: the body of the instrument which is a square box that is covered with skin on either side and the neck.
The strings are made of silk and are numbered from top to bottom. "Ichi no ito" or the "first string," is on the left or top side of the sao and is the thickest and lowest in pitch. "Ni no ito" or the "second string," is thinner and higher in pitch. "San no ito" or the "third string," is the thinnest and highest in pitch and is also the string that is used the most.
The Percussive Shamisen is played with a plectrum or "bachi" which is kind of a square rod that opens out in a fan shape and the strings are played with the thin edges of the plectrum.
The most common tunings are called honchôshi (lit. "core/basic tuning"), in which the three strings are tuned to B-E-B on the Western scale; niagari, in which the second (middle) string is raised up to F sharp; and sansagari, in which the bottom (highest pitched) string is lowered, such that the three strings are tuned to B-E-A.
The shamisen became an indispensable part of kabuki and of almost all music in the Edo period, as background music. But from the beginning of the Meiji era (1868-1912), it came to be appreciated on its own, and people began performing it as a solo instrument or in an ensemble, together with koto and shakuhachi.
The sound of a shamisen is a percussive one because the bachi is striked to both string and skin of the shamisen's body.
A new style of playing evolved in the Tsugaru district – the western half of Aomori Prefecture and was known as Tsugaru-shamisen. It continues to be relatively popular in Japan. There's a tradition in Tsugaru for wandering artists to perform in front of people's houses – singing folk songs and playing the shamisen – for some small change or food. This is thought to be how the tsugaru shamisen style came into being in the early part of the 20th century.

In my previous blog, 'So many lines, so little time' I wrote about how to specifically decipher between all the lines out there in skincare land. I next thought about all the makeup lines an all the choices of specific foundations to choose from. I wanted to break down all the formulations out there for you in order to choose the right one out there for you and your clients.
Are you confused on which is the right for you? Do you even know the difference between mineral, talc or liquids? Do you know that there are different levels or grades of products out there? If your confused then this blog is for you.
Let me break it down for you.
Minerals: Minerals are bio-inert. Bio-inert means that there isn't a chemical or physical reaction between the skin and the makeup. Minerals and pigments are micro-pulverized using proprietary technology into microscopic flat particles. These particles overlap each other on the skin to allow the skin to breath and function properly while filtering out airborne pollutants. There is great staying power to minerals that rarely need touch ups throughout the day. Chemical free, preservative free and the pharmaceutical grade minerals are TALC FREE!!! The minerals are also smear proof and water resistant. Minerals have buildable coverage as well. Minerals are great for concealing so you don't need another product. It is your liquid, power and concealer all in one.
Liquids: Liquid foundations have a liquid lotion base and pigments added for color and coverage. Many have chemicals, preservatives and parabins.
Tinted moisturizer– It is a lotion and pigments combined, 80% lotion and 20% pigment. VERY sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizer is perfect for softening and protecting the skin while adding a hint of foundation color. This makeup is also ideal because you don't have to put on moisturizer and then foundation, it's a one step process.
Liquid Foundation– 40% lotion and 60% pigments. MOST airbrush makeup utilizes a liquid foundation however, they add water so the spray won't get clogged. This is great for easy application, personally I think it's a fad. It may look cool but the makeup artist must carry the machine which might be cumbersome. Women with oily skin should avoid dewy finish foundation and should set any liquid foundation with a translucent powder to reduce shine.
Whipped Foundation– This is a liquid foundation that has been whipped with air. Mousse makeup is liquid makeup with air whipped in making it lighter and smoother. It comes in a spray or aerosol-type can, like whipped cream. It costs more than other cosmetics because you're paying for the added air and specialized packaging but if you've ever spread whipped butter on a hot piece of toast then you'll know the difference is vast. Whipped foundation is good for all skin types.
Talc: Talc is a mineral produced by the mining of talc rocks and then processed by crushing, drying and milling. Processing eliminates a number of trace minerals from the talc but does not separate minute fibers which are very similar to asbestos. Talc is toxic and talc particles can cause tumors in human ovaries and lungs. Numerous studies have shown a strong link between frequent use of talc in the female genital area and ovarian cancer. Talc particles are able to move through the reproductive system and become embedded in the lining of the ovary. Clearly with or without asbestos-like fibers, cosmetic grade talcum powder is a carcinogen.
I don't mean to scare you about talc, as you probably gathered I am just not a fan of the stuff. I have been pro minerals ever since 1996 when I was a sales representative with Jane Iredale.
What I encourage you to do is be astute to the products you are going to personally use and the products you are going to use for your clients. Read labels, study the new technology, do your homework. I also would like to encourage you to try all the forms of makeup out on yourself. If you love a product yourself you will always be better at selling it.
Go to your makeup bag, empty it, go through it and then start to throw liquid items away if they are more than 3 months old. Now you have made a start.
'I'm a Woman,' written by Lieber and Stoller and performed by the late Peggy Lee became famous for the Enjoli perfume commercials of the 1970s. Some however, may remember it differently as the duet with Raquel Welch and Miss Piggy on The Muppet Show!
It is a song of inspiration about the amazing feats that women perform every day and although I am constantly aware of this, do I really understand exactly what kind of feats they are referring to? I might not be saving lives, ending wars and giving all my money to charities but I do know of the amazing feats I perform for women every day. It goes a long way to helping women feel better about themselves, it's rewarding and it inspires me.
This all began in my car this morning as I cruised over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and into the dawn of a glorious new day. (For those who don't know, The Skyway bridge is the tallest, most majestic bridge in Tampa Bay connecting South Shore to Saint Petersburg.) Then suddenly as if by an amazing feat itself I found myself humming this very same song. I smiled.
Although I drive this same bridge everyday somehow today felt different, very different. Partial as I am to random humming, I have no idea why I began humming "I'm a Woman" this morning, it's not as though it was on the radio or anything. In fact I hadn't thought about the song in ages but just in that moment I was transported back and began thinking of how powerful women in business really are. I also began thinking how I feel when I am working on a woman's face. How totally focused I am on getting her the results she is expecting, hand holding with every step. It is fulfilling and as I feel empowered, I am empowering them too. It is the most natural of motivations and makes me forever grateful for what I do.
I was also thinking about networking, due mainly to the rather large, bright pink directory of Working Women of Tampa Bay that is resting on the front seat of my car. (www.workingwomenoftampabay.com) It made me think of all the women out there who are working and of those who are the only bread winners in the family. I paused to think a while.
Just prior to breaking in to my first hum of the day I had just finished a telephone conversation with Heather Sakelariou, owner and fellow Aesthetician of Heather's Day Spa www.HeathersDaySpa.com. I had just booked her for my March 22nd. About FACE show on Rhino On Air www.rhinoonair.com and she shared with me about how much she does for her family. She is both gracious and humble. She is happy and she is inspiring. People like this are such a pleasure to work with, every day they stride forward with a purpose.
I also pondered over 'About BEAUTY' and I secretly hoped it would be a success.
As I said "In the Beginning" this is therapy for me. I reflect on my thought process, my own fears and insecurities and my hopes and aspirations for the future. With that comes a true, very real respect for women. We are powerful, we are strong and we are united.
We are women… now where was my pan?
There is a HUGE difference between over the counter products and professional products. Effectively it all boils down to how you get the products, did a woman behind a fancy department store counter help you, did you get a facial with an Aesthetician and did she recommended it to you? Believe it or not, there is a huge difference between the two.
There are three different grades of makeup to choose from, over the counter, professional or medical. Let's look at them in a little more detail.
Everything you are able to use on your face is regulated by the FDA and the percentage of active ingredients in the product will determine just how you can buy it. Over the counter (OTC) constitutes less than 2% of active ingredients. You can acquire these products by means of TV, radio, department stores, grocery stores, beauty consultants (working with a MLM line) CVS, Walgreens etc. The products aren't strong enough to hurt your skin providing you use them correctly. Many of my clients are happy with their products and being a professional I respect their choice. However, I think it all depends on what your expectations are, if a client is really happy using an OTC product then that's good. Personally I'm happy to let my facials speak for themselves as my main focus is my client's satisfaction.
Professional: 2% and higher, up to 10% of active ingredients. The professional has a license and education that pertains to application and you can find these products in a salon, spa, dermatologist and plastic surgeon's office. As these products are result orientated the focus and motivation behind the product is change. But for real change you'll need a higher active ingredient in the product .
Medical: 10% and higher of active ingredients. This is a prescription product only. The doctor prescribes the product for real change but it is mainly the patients who receive prescriptions for skin conditions and diseases.
I hope this sheds some light on the subject. If you're confused and want personal attention in this matter then I'd be happy to help you. I conduct a comprehensive 2 1/2 hour appointment in the comfort of a woman's home, a one on one with emphasis on my clients concerns together with any questions they might have. This is a great opportunity to examine the makeup and skincare she has in her drawers and is currently using. I go though their makeup and pitch the old, dated, wrong and expired. Believe me there are a lot of crazy things in a woman's purse, I can understand why men are afraid of them. I then give suggestions for positive changes.
Although Mary Kay started this idea I approach it from a slightly different perspective where my focus is on education not sales. I also do a step by step makeup application with a detailed instruction. The makeup is removed and my client can then apply the makeup herself with further instruction. I will demonstrate the most progressive techniques in makeup application and teach you how to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.
After I leave clients are so happy that they ask me to do closets, kitchens and garages…but I think I'll just stay with what I know. I do love what I do especially when I see the proverbial light bulb go on when a client figures out her daily regime and gets the look she is needing. It is magical!
When it comes to products ask yourself a simple question, are you happy with it and is it helping you? Are you getting results? If not then I suggest you go up a grade level. It can make all the difference in your skin! I love and recommend Randy James LeBrecque's line Rande James… check it out www.randejames.com and GloTherapeutics http://www.glotherapeutics.com !

Hello out there in blog-land!!!
I have been told that I needed to start a blog, yet another tentacle out there in cyber space linking my two pages on Facebook, my personal Facebook page, my Twitter account and lastly my web site. It all seemed like more work but I really think this could end up being therapy for me, a diary of sorts. I might not be known especially for my writing but this doesn't stop me having something to say and blogging is the perfect vehicle. So now I'm here and just like you, I'm hungry for knowledge.
By trade, I am a licensed Paramedical Aesthetician, throw in a little singing and there you have it. But let me stop right there because I realize not too many people understand what "Paramedical" means. Paramedical means that not only do I have advanced training hours outside of specific Esthiology but I also have an internship with a Plastic Surgeon and Dermatologist. This training has given me a complete understanding of what skin conditions like Psoriasis, Rosecia and Eczema, the specific histology of the skin that goes with these conditions and what to do to minimize, control and treat each patient. I just love to help others with skin issues. I am a survivor of a skin condition called Cystic Acne. I literally stuck to my pillowcase at night, not only was it painful for my face, the pain went much deeper than that. After three rounds of Accutaine and some wonderful facials from a Paramedical Aesthetician, a passion grew deep inside to help others with similar skin troubles.
I am also a Professional Makeup Artist. This started from sitting on my mother's floor watching her get ready to go out. I was fascinated by how a face could look so different, so colorful and so beautiful after one hour of work. I was transfixed and from there a seed was sown. I love make up, it is so easy for me, so natural. I can see a women's face and know just what to do to make her natural beauty shine. I love for the light bulb to go on and then when I am finished for them to look into the mirror. The smile, the hug, the appreciation makes it all the while. That makes everything well in my world…. and theirs.
As you follow my blog, I ask you to open both your mind and your heart. I will be tearing down the beauty myths we all grew up with and sharing with you some of the wonderful stories from my 20 year career together with some helpful hints along the way. So join me, I am humbled to do this and looking forward to the therapy that awaits not only me but you too!

text: We won't be doing much outside for a while as it gets to hot for me to work outside. I'll take a few trips and with the help of family someone will be here to look after my plants, trees and the house. I still like the house and I'm going to make some improvements later. One of the improvements is a patio shade for the East side of the house to keep that side of the house cooler next summer. It will make a nice place to enjoy the outdoors the rest of the year too. So looking forward to the Fall when temperatures abate and I can work outside more. I'm also looking forward to the holidays when I can decorate the house with all the usual holiday decorations.
