The amazing Kimberly Perez and Mateo (6 months). Kimberly was born at home herself and says it's just what her family does so she anticipated that's what she would do as well. After all day sickness for the first 17 weeks of pregnancy Kimberly was able to begin enjoy some time before she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She was frustrated by the diagnosis but grateful she was able to keep things under control with diet and exercise and not risk out of her plans to give birth at home.
At 30 weeks, Mateo was sitting comfortable with his head up but she knew there was still plenty of time for him to turn. When at 36 weeks he hadn't changed position she began trying everything in her power to turn him. Spinning babies, acupuncture, chiropractic, Webster Technique - everything. She ultimately went to the doctor for an external cephalic version which was incredibly painful. They got Mateo to turn but her flipped right back around, they tried again and the same thing happened only this time his heart rate dropped as well. Kimberly was too scared at this point to do anything but schedule a cesarean which was very difficult for her and so different from what she'd been planning for.
Kimberly asked for a "gentle cesarean" and they pulled the curtain down so she was able to see Mateo just as he emerged. Kimberly was able to get him to latch and nurse in recovery and says that knowing there wasn't any option other than to breastfeed him helped her reconcile not having the birth she had hoped. Recovery was quite painful for Kimberly and she still has numbness around her incision that is bothersome today. Breastfeeding is going very well and she says that she knew if once she got past one month that they'd be just fine.
Seeing and reading stories that celebrate the beauty in motherhood since before she was even pregnant has allowed Kimberly the space to know that she is not alone in her experiences and she's very excited to now be able to share her own story.

Thanks to Compeed® Footcare, keeping your feet summer-ready is easy all-year round as, from corns to unsightly cracked heels and blisters, Compeed® Footcare has it discreetly covered. But you don't need to wait for a corn or a blister to give your feet some TLC. On a day-to-day level, treat your feet to a DIY pedicure with Compeed®'s six easy steps to summer-perfect feet.
- 1. Firstly, remove any old nail varnish by soaking a cotton wool ball in nail polish remover. Once your toenails are squeaky clean, scrub away any dead skin on your feet with a pumice stone or a foot buffer. Concentrate on the heels and soles of your feet where hard skin has a tendency to build up. If your feet are cracked then be gentle when using a pumice stone as it can be painful. Using Compeed® Overnight Cracked Heel cream can help soften them up a treat.
- 2. Once you've removed hard skin, soak your feet in warm soapy water for 10 minutes. Add a few drops of essential oils such as relaxing lavender oil or use tea tree oil for it's anti-infection properties. While your feet are still damp, finish off with a foot scrub to get rid of those final dead skin cells for baby soft skin.
- 3. Dry your feet thoroughly before cutting your toenails. Be sure to cut your toenails straight across – rounding them off at the end can lead to in-grown toenails. Don't be tempted to cut the nails too short either and remember to file your nails to give them a smooth finish.
- 4. Push back the cuticles with an orange stick before massaging in foot cream. Now's a good time to examine your feet for any corns or blisters and take action with Compeed® Corn plaster and Compeed® Blister Mix that will prevent further rubbing and friction when you next slip on your sandals.
- 5. Wipe off any residue cream on your toenails with nail varnish remover. Apply a lick of base coat before painting your nails. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours on your feet. Corals and red nail varnish look great with a tan in summer's hottest wedges and sandals.
- 6. Slip your feet into your favourite summer shoes and, you've no need to worry if you have a corn or a blister. Compeed® products are so discreet your perfect pedicure will be the only thing people see.

Last year was a better year than I could have dreamed and I hope that, for Christmas, we get the promise of an even better New Year.
I was delighted with Wolf Howling's caroling contribution to Christmas. I know you'll enjoy all of the videos he posted, but I especially urge you to watch the Daily Caller's 12 Days of Trump. I couldn't stop grinning as I listened.
But here's a fact of life for me here at Bookworm Room: It's not Christmas without Josh Groban's gorgeous rendition of O Holy Night. Every year, I get chills all over again listening to it:
Last year at this time, we were looking ahead and hoping for the best in a Trumpian, post-Obama era. This year, we're looking back upon a spectacular Trump year and optimistically thinking it might get even better in the year to come.
Just think: Despite the hysterical "resistance" (which rose to sedition when it came from inside the government), Donald Trump has accomplished political miracles. He's entirely erased every single affirmative act Obama put into play, from open borders, to Obamacare, to DACA, to the Paris Accord, to the Iran Agreement. [Read more…]

Blankets, Guns and Plumbers →
If this photograph does not make you think there is something deeply wrong with the US, than nothing will. Those children are not playing a game or goofing around at nap time. They are practicing for what happens should an angry and heavily armed man, and it is always a man, decide to go on a shooting rampage in their school. The red things that look like mats are actually a product called the bodyguard blanket that its makers hope will protect children from being murdered. These items are only part of the work schools are doing to avoid being the next Sandy Hook or Columbine. Schools are redesigning facilities to be safer from shooting rampages, practicing lockdown drills and training teachers on what to do in case of a shooting. All of those things are good; none of them make me, or millions of other American parents, stop worrying about something that should be unfathomable.
In late May, following the horrific shootings in Santa Barbara perpetrated by an apparently mentally ill and deeply misogynistic young man, a letter appeared on the internet. The letter was written to the parents of the victims from Samuel Wurzelbacher. Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, briefly became famous during the 2008 presidential campaign for not liking taxes or Barack Obama.
The letter was an extraordinary brew of mean-spiritedness, cruelty, insensitivity, arrogance and egotism. The most quoted line from that letter, written by a man singularly incapable of empathy was "your dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights." That line is painful to read and probably makes many people angry with Joe the Plumber. The extraordinary chutzpah required to write something like that to a total stranger who has just lost a child and does not care about your opinion notwithstanding, the worst thing about that line is that it is essentially the official position of the US government.
The US government, taken as a whole, has decided that the right of unlimited and unrestricted gun, to use Wurzelbacher's word, "trumps" more or less everything else. Our government has chosen to interpret the second amendment, an amendment that consists of somewhat vague language, in the most extreme pro-gun way possible. There are some laws that limit gun ownership in some states, but for the most part these laws are either weak or unenforced. The NRA is a very powerful interest group that is able to influence the debate on any legislation effecting gun use, but this is only part of the problem.
The NRA is powerful, but it is not all-powerful. There are many members of congress who, while probably deft enough not to phrase it quite as nastily as Joe the Plumber did, basically believe that Americans should have an unrestricted right to own guns. Many obviously don't believe this, but almost none of them have summoned the political courage to push for more legislation or to seek to build popular support for that legislation. The President and some in congress have spoken about the need to regulate guns but with a speech by the president and a crisp hundred dollar bill, you can still buy a gun in pretty much every state in the US.
We try not to confront the ugly truth that our government, and the US is still enough of a democracy for that to mean we as a people, prefer the occasional, or not so occasional, shooting up of a school to meaningful gun regulations. We are more committed to being different than almost every other industrialized country in this regard than we are to taking obvious and clear steps to protecting the lives of our children.
The debate, to use that word loosely, around gun regulation, frequently devolves into either minor issues like whether or not their should be background checks-of course there should be, or things like blaming the mentally ill. Clearly severely mentally ill people should not be allowed to wantonly acquire firearms, but changing that will hardly solve the problem or make guns significantly less widespread.
Currently, the our politicians are divided between those who believe in unregulated gun ownership and those who are too scared to challenge them. Both sides are at fault, but change will only come when those politicians who are motivated by fear become more afraid of seeing innocent young people dying than of a primary challenge or strong general election opponent heavily funded by the NRA. Until that happens, it looks like school shootings will remain part of the fabric of American life, and we'll probably start seeing more of those strange red blankets in the schools.

text: Ashley and Chris got married in downtown Iowa City at the Old Brick. From beginning to end, their day was filled with phenomenal live music. The ceremony featured a choir and special performances by family and friends, and the reception was hopping with music by the Rod Pierson Big Band. We absolutely loved the couple's special touch of homemade cheesecakes in chocolate almond, cherry, and Alex's favorite, raspberry! Everything from attire to decoration was modernly classy and the wedding party was a lot of fun to work with. Cheers to Ashley and Chris for allowing us to capture their stunning wedding!

Editor's Note
While my layout editors and I are putting the finishing touches on this issue, my peers and members of my editorial staff are downtown participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Regardless of where one falls ideologically, the movement is undoubtedly an uprising against the corporate juggernaut that defines our time. The four popular political groups on campus (CU Democrats, College Republicans, College Libertarians, and International Socialist Organization) have weighed in on this very issue in our new recurring feature, Student Stump. I cannot think of a better addition to our magazine, which now begins its second decade of existence. Our mission has always been to showcase our student body's perspectives and insights on both popular and lesser-known issues – this feature truly takes it to the next level and presents the clash among the political opinions that exist on our campus. We may not know the fate of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, but rising antipathy for Wall Street and its economic volatility are a grave cause for concern today. This has inspired Hadi Elzayn (4) to advocate, in a Modest Proposal, for New York City to "diversify" its economic future by encouraging entrepreneurship and investing in alternative energy and biotechnology industries – in a sense, creating a Silicon Valley of its own.
Along with the constant headlines today about Wall Street, one cannot ignore the endless chatter within the media about the upcoming 2012 presidential election. Taylor Thompson (15) gives his own take on the elections, focusing on the rise of Herman Cain, who has recently become the new favorite of political satirists. Jordan Kalms (12) analyzes the rising influence of these political satirists on the mainstream media and the American public at-large. Neither the satirists nor the conventional anchors have been anything less than critical of Obama's presidency, and in our cover story, Matt Getz (7) delves into the forgotten region of Obama's foreign policy, Latin America, arguing for a new era of reengagement.
As CPR loves to constantly improve and reinvent itself, I ask our readers to provide us with feedback on how this magazine can better serve its readers. Please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tired of spilling drinks on yourself? Never do it again! (Canceled)
Revolutionary new design in Travel Cups will keep the accidents to a minimum. Made in the USA.
Tired of spilling drinks on yourself? Never do it again! (Canceled)
Revolutionary new design in Travel Cups will keep the accidents to a minimum. Made in the USA.
We've all done it, as careful as we try to be. We spill drinks on ourselves. The more important the destination and the nicer your clothes, the more likely you'll get that embarrassing stain that ruins your day!
The market is full of poorly designed travel cups with awful lids. They leak, splash and seemingly defy all reasonable attempts to not make a mess. It not you, it's your cup... and you know it. Get a cup that makes sense and works like you wish the other cups did.
Introducing the Reflo Revolution
- 360 degree use. No buttons, spouts, flip tabs to complicate use.
- Extra deep mouth, just like drinking from a glass. Incredibly natural feeling.
- Holds up to 20 ounces!
- Insulated to keep drinks hot or cold.
- Super easy to keep clean.
- No small drinking hole to find while driving.
- One solid body. No screw on cap that will leak on you.
- Durable.
- Made in the USA by a proven, award-winning company.
Support us with absolute confidence. Contact us on Kickstarter or through our website here. We know how important trust and communication are.
Made to fit any standard cup holder
We tried our cups in every car we could get into and they always fit. (if you're wondering, these are real photos. Our cups actually look that good!)
Simple, clean, comfortable, award-winning design
Feature rich yet easy to use and care for
Start your day off right
Enjoy a healthy snack, get your favorite drink ready to go, grab a few bucks... and don't forget your keys.
Drink safely on the go
With no hole or spout to look for, you'll never have to take your eyes off the road when you drink from a Reflo Revolution.
Three great initial colors to choose from
What's in a name?
ˌrevəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n - noun:
a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it.
It's a fun and accurate play on words.
1. This Revolution is undoubtedly a dramatic change in travel cups. 360 degree use, virtually splash proof, one-piece body, no awkward rim or lid prone to drips and spills. The extra deep rim of the Revolution is purely comfortable and natural.
2. Our cleverly functioning flow control device and cup design allow you to use this cup at all 360 degrees... a complete revolution of the rim.
3. It's an all-out revolution against stained shirts, soiled outfits and ruined days.
We're changing the world here, people! Ok, a little dramatic but this is one truly awesome cup!
Experience matters
Reflo has been manufacturing flow-controlled cups, in the USA, for 8 years now. Our Reflo Smart Cup has been named "product of the year" and "top choice" in training cups for the past 4 years in a row. You can see it at reflo.net. Now we're taking the awesome technology of our award-winning kids' cup and building the best adult travel cup ever!
Shipping will be by First Class and Priority mail in the USA, depending on weight. International First Class postage will be used to all locations outside of the USA. Our shipping rates are only based on what it will cost us to ship your package to you.
International buyers are responsible for any duties or taxes that may be due (if any) upon receipt in their home country. There are no additional charges or fees for shipments within the USA. We like to be as upfront and informative as possible so our customers do not experience any unnecessary surprises.
Risks and challenges
As with any endeavor, there are risks and challenges. We are fortunate at Reflo to be producing one great product, made in the USA and with international distribution. We are ahead of the learning curve and have established relationships with local manufacturers to get our Revolution up and running.
We've set our reward dates far enough out to be safe. We'd rather under promise and over perform. Better safe than sorry.... but we anticipate being ahead of schedule.
We think it is worthwhile to note that we've kept our rewards, timelines and overall funding needs realistic so that we will be able to deliver the product as you are expecting. We are regular people, just like you, who appreciate those who keep their promises and likewise, we will keep our promises to you. We value our reputation both personally and in business.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

During a recent trip to Zimbabwe, as a business entrepreneur, I encountered a stark and personal example of how today's IT digital divide can adversely and negatively impact the lives of women and children on an individual as well as global basis. I experienced the reality of the inter-relationship between access to technology and communications as a crucial tool for economic empowerment when a young woman stole my iPhone, thinking that she could use it in some way to her economic advantage.
The experience enlarged my understanding of the complexities and intricacies of conducting business internationally and motivated me to initiate partnerships to provide greater access to technology for women in Zimbabwe. Leveraging my project management skills we have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the remaining equipment, supplies, and services to realize these objectives. We hope you will support the cause.

november 25, 2015: St. louis jewish light feature article
Robert A. Cohn, Editor-in-Chief, wrote an extensive article about my history which spans Continental Divides and three Abrahamic religions. As the daughter of a Pan-Africanist Muslim, a mother who is an Ordained Baptist Minister, a widow of a German national and mother to their biracial son it is an illuminating article titled, 'Human rights activist recounts journey to Judaism from Islam.'

We've all had to change the structure of our websites from time to time. Our domain name changes, we add/remove things from the blog URL structure (e.g., the month/day) and we move around pages per the new plan. But if search engine traffic is important to you, you'll want to know about an important SEO tool used when content moves on your Squarespace site. You'll want to know about the 301 redirect.
What is a 301 Redirect?
If you've ever moved houses, you may have went through the effort to fill out a Change of Address form with the United States Postal Service. The post office had an updated record of where you lived and was therefore able to send your mail to your new address instead of your old one. The Change of Address form is like a 301 redirect.
When you move content around on your website, your content is changing addresses on the web. A 301 redirect provides a map from your old URLs to your new ones. When someone tries to visit a web page that has been 301 redirected, they are automatically taken to the new page.
Why Should I 301 Redirect for SEO?
When people link to your web pages, you're building SEO equity for that page and your website as a whole. The more links you have to your site, the more likely you are to rank for key search phrases. 301 redirects are the only way to retain SEO equity when URLs change on your website. If you think someone may have linked to a page you plan on moving, perform a 301 redirect.
Performing a 301 Redirect in Squarespace
Squarespace makes it pretty easy to create a 301 redirect. In fact, they automatically redirect your old content to your new Squarespace site if you use their blog importer. And for those redirects that you'd like to create manually, they provide an easy 301 redirect utility. Let's take a look.
To use the Squarespace 301 redirect tool, select the URL Shortcuts link from the Website Management menu.
Enter your old URL into the shortcut URL field and the new URL into the existing URL field. Select 301 Redirect from as the navigation method and then select Update information.
That's all there is to it. When someone tries to visit your old URL, they will be automatically redirected to your new URL. And the SEO equity you've built to your old page will pass through to your new page as well.
The scenarios for 301 redirects are endless. Moving web pages, changing publish dates of blog posts with dates in the URLs, changing blog URL structure to no longer contain dates at all... these are all great times to use a 301 redirect in Squarespace.
What questions do you have about 301 redirects? Be sure to leave your thoughts and questions on 301 redirects in Squarespace in the comments section below.

A Blonde New Year's Eve. Champagne, designers, photographers, olives, flashes, filters, flowers, lashes, celine, pearls, white curtains, silk, walk in closets, crystalline bathrooms, white sofas and platforms.
I was reality excited this year because I was able to host a big hotel party for a safe and chic New Year's for my friends last night. After spending the year working with more brands than I ever have before, I'm learning what it means it get treated well... and get treated like shit. My friends are my family and their happiness means everything to me. When I experience a little wealth, there's nothing I would rather do than treat my friends and have a good time. It feels good to be able to support myself and begin to be able to spread it to those around me.
Last night was beautiful simply because I was in the company of those I love most. Nothing makes my heart happier. I know this coming year will be what I make it, nothing comes without hard work. You create your own reality and you create your family. Be aware of the choices you make and how powerful you are. You can do anything.

June 3, 2014, TORONTO - Today, a company whose name and shape cannot be easily recalled, a new world leader in innovative climate, temporal, geographic and population management solutions, announced its official presence to a largely naive and fearful population.
"We have been here since time eternal," the company spoke through the 32 mouths of Sheila Hamilton's 7th Grade elementary school class on a field trip to the Royal Ontario Museum. "We have seen your birth and can see your death. Those who do not embrace madness will be devoured."
The company went on to publish a report containing the missing evidence of 17 unsolved murder cases from the past 100 years as well as in-depth financial statistics for every corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange for the next five years ending December 31, 2019.
"I don't remember writing that," wept the insignificant art student that discovered the report written on its bathroom wall.
"I can't even read it, like my eyes are slipping off the letters and settling on new thoughts. Strange thoughts. It feels real, though. It feels real. I can feel it here," it said, vaguely moving his hand two or three feet from its own fragile head.
Though the financial predictions have been guaranteed to be accurate representations of the next five years, the company has not taken responsibility for the murders, impressing that human existence is of little consequence to the incomprehensible eternity in which it dreams. The report is simply a glimpse into the nature of the kind of enlightenment new recruits can expect after attending its seminar at a Career Day exhibit held June 12, 2014 from 10 AM - 5PM in a parking lot at Toronto Exhibition Place.
For more information on the company and potential career opportunities have a journal open to a blank page resting on your bedside table before sleeping tonight. Copies of the report written on the art student's bathroom wall will be made available upon request.

I Watched a Movie: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
And pretty funny.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is exactly what you'd expect. You expect Will Ferrell to be funny, and in this movie, he is hilarious. The best scenes are when he and Sacha Baron Cohen go head to head. You've got two superb comedic actors who are on the top of their games. It's a delight. This film proves that Ferrell is at his best when he can star in the movies he writes (or, write the movies he stars in).
And, the slate of co-stars does incredibly well.
Rent the DVD and watch all of the outakes and extras.
When you're done, do something meaningful and productive for two hours to balance out the time your spent laughing at stupid (but really funny) jokes.

Of Past and Present
Tonight I wish to write about the past and how it inevitably is connected to the present. I apologize in advance for these words will likely not have much humor in them. More likely, they will possess a sober kind of sorrow. But whatever they will contain, I still wish to write them for you to read and for you to speak in response to.
Tonight was a night of conversations. It was a night where discussions ranging from political philosophy to the great evil of certain denominations were held. Some conversations were light-hearted and others sobering to a degree of annoyance. But in each case, I was present to either listen or add to the conversation.
I wish to talk to you about one conversation where a casual emotion ran the breadth of the conversation with one speaker. Now, I could be wrong in my assessment of the situation, but I will still share my thoughts on it anyway. The speaker, a guy only a few years older than me, seemed to see the world in a black and white scenario with the only deviance from the theists being the reverse of what is evil and what is good. The LDS Church was cast in evil vocabulary and the gays were cast in good vocabulary. Every motive of the Church was driven towards the ultimate goal of total and absolute control over its followers. I weary at this view. Why? Well, tonight, it reminded me of decisions that I made years ago that have haunted my life for nine years now.
I made the choice to avoid my very being and be celibate at the age of sixteen. I chose to avoid the possibility of companionship, romance, and the fulfilling of one of the deepest, most poignant aspects of human existence: love. For seven years I chose that path and then I chose to change that. My point in all of that is that I chose this path. I was not ordered by the Church to do so. I was not caught in some web of control by some great authoritative force out to abuse and absorb my choices. I chose it and suffered the consequences of that choice until I could bare it no more and then sought true knowledge and understanding in life. In each situation, it was my choice and the consequences are mine alone to bare. I do not blame my childhood religion for my choice. I merely acknowledge the sources of my knowledge and see myself alone to blame and praise for my actions.
I think it unnecessary to pass the blame onto others. Yes, I do believe my childhood religion has much to answer for and certainly has blood on its hands. But I will not absolve myself of all responsibility for my actions. I am perfectly capable of deciding things. It was my fault for not truly understanding the nature of my choices. I accepted this several years ago and have since absolved myself of my guilt in choosing the incorrect path. I was but a child when I made my choices. Sure, I was making decisions with incredibly far-reaching consequences but I learned, grew, and am happier now than ever before.
There is enough evil in this world, Sentry. Why do we have to keep finding more enemies and villains in the shadows of life and the recesses of our memories? Why can't we find more heroes? Well, I refuse to succumb to that. The Mormon Church can be whatever it wishes. I don't care. My heroes are my wife, my best friend here, my best friend in San Diego, one of the most beautiful women I have ever met, my roommate for his courage and hope, and so many more individuals.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on that one emotion. I'm sure I took it way out of context but I feel that I have expressed my opinions well enough. Tomorrow, I wish to talk further about relationships with you, Sentry.
Your friend,
P.S. A song that I rather enjoy :) (to lighten the mood a little)

I completely understand your feelings of annoyance at this conversation. Life should not be seen as black and white. Everything has it's own shade of gray. Love you. <3ReplyDelete
I see what you're saying, but I think the challenge that is is that you never would have chosen to live a loveless life had you not already been taught that it was the right choice, and the right sacrifice. I don't think all the actions of the Church leaders are driven simply by a want for control. I believe there are leaders who believe that they are right in doing what they do, and that motivates their actions. Also, :), although I do not know the intricacies of your life as a child in the church, rarely will you find someone who has been... shall we say brainwashed, for lack of a better term? say that they have been brainwashed. :) When a child cannot even speak, much less comprehend morality, and is spoon-fed their parent's morality, enough so that they are stuck in an infantile state of morality, as far as I can tell... that'd be "brainwashing".ReplyDelete

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is the leading global accountancy qualification attracting students from over 70 countries and recognised in over 150.
It is divided into two distinct levels, referred to as Fundamentals ('F' level) and Professional ('P' level). The academic standard is level 5 and 6 respectively.
To achieve 'F' level, there are 6 mandatory units on the basis that an AAT qualification or specific accountancy degree qualification has been attained. This section is normally studied over two years on a part-time basis.
To achieve 'P' level, there are 3 essential units (mandatory) and a selection of a further two units from four options. This section is normally studied in 1 year and 2 terms on a part time basis.
We run a flexible roll-on/roll-off system, which enables students entry onto the course. This can be at the beginning of each term as per the unit required, or as a start to the whole programme.
The ACCA qualification is a top tier accountancy qualification, enabling qualified members to reach senior accountancy positions in practice, industry or commerce.
Whilst not mandatory, it is normally expected that learners will be in accountancy related employment. It is however, necessary that the pre-qualification standards (AAT or a degree in accountancy or finance) have been achieved to study on this course.
Learning and Assessment
Learning will be conducted in the class room once per week (5 hours contact time) for approximately 32 weeks. In addition, the guided learning hours outside the classroom, are indicatively two hours for every one hour spent in the classroom.
We aim to cover 1 unit per academic term to co-incide with ACCA's examination dates.
Text books will be provided including revision kit books. Wider reading is encouraged. Interim assessment will be conducted in the form of practice questions and past/mock exams.
Programme of Study
Completion of the 'F' level entitles you to entry to the 'P' level. In addition, this is an acceptable
qualification to obtain a BSc in Accounting and Finance at Oxford Brookes University by completing
single unit essay submission on professional ethics. A learner qualified to 'F' level, is at a recognised stage for most employers.
Delivery Venue(s) & timetable
Learning will take place at a venue within the North Dorset area (unless otherwise agreed with employer led group delivery) – but new courses will be available soon nationally.
Full timetable of dates/times will be confirmed during the application and enrolment process.
Normal delivery times are 1pm – 6pm.
Students are able to roll on/roll off as per individual requirements.
An example 24 month structure is shown opposite:
Cost, deposit & payment terms
The cost PER UNIT is £586 with a non-refundable £100 deposit to secure a place .
Astara Training Ltd has a cancellation deadline of 3 weeks prior to the start date, students will be liable for the full cost of the course if cancelled after this time.
The balance must be paid to Astara Training Ltd no later than 5 working days prior to start.

The mystery of Justice Byron White
Justice Byron R. White served on the Supreme Court for 31 years, but now, a decade after his death, he remains something of an enigma. A blunt, often irascible man, he turned out to be considerably more conservative than expected when appointed by President John F. Kennedy, and left a legacy that is in many ways more notable for his dissents than for his opinions for the Court. In significant ways, legal doctrine has passed him by.
Even the public release of his official papers last month by the Library of Congress may stimulate a new mystery. Just what, exactly, is in the collection, and what will it tell about Byron White's influence behind the scenes for some of the Court's most tumultuous decisions?
Although the Library announced that the collection includes "183,500 items in 858 boxes," White's biographer, University of Chicago law professor Dennis Hutchinson (a former White law clerk), said a few years ago that White had "destroyed all his working papers," adding that "White's donation [of his papers] will turn out to be very slender when opened to the public."
Hutchinson also said that it was a basic part of White's personality "to be modest in a belligerent fashion; he doesn't believe in history or in journalism."
When researchers dive into the White collection at the Library of Congress's Manuscript Division, they will be able to detect whether White felt any obligation toward history, if not toward journalism, by what he saved, and by the internal exchanges he had with his colleagues.
The dry paper record, of course, will not recreate the public image of the man. He was an imposing figure on the bench–intellectually brilliant, large and muscular as befits a former pro football running back ("Whizzer" is what everybody called him, to his disgust), an ornery questioner of lawyers.
But what was his actual influence? His most famous dissents, no doubt, came in the case of Roe v. Wade in 1973, establishing a woman's constitutional right to abortion, and in the case of Miranda v. Arizona in 1966, requiring police to warn suspects taken into custody of their legal rights before questioning could begin. Since then, the Court has retreated only a bit from its commitment to the basic principle of Roe v. Wade, and it has turned the Miranda decision into an even stronger precedent by making it a binding constitutional mandate instead of simply a directive to lower courts through its supervisory powers.
Less well-known is White's continuing (and continually losing) battle against the Court's embrace of what lawyers and judges call "substantive due process." In layman's terms, that phrase means that the government must respect the fundamental civil rights of all persons, even if a specific right is not mentioned directly in the Constitution–as, for example, the right to an abortion. "Substantive due process" was the source of many modern civil rights rulings by the Court, over White's relentless objection–beginning with his very first dissent as a Justice, in Robinson v. California in 1962. He complained bitterly of "judge-made constitutional law."
Justice White's most famous opinion for the Court–and it has since been explicitly overruled by the Supreme Court–came in the 1986 decision in Bowers v. Hardwick. That ruling refused to recognize a constitutional right of privacy for homosexual conduct between consenting adults in private. In 2003, a year after White's death, the Court cast that ruling aside in Lawrence v. Texas, creating just such a constitutional right.
He had joined the Court eight years after the decision in Brown v. Board of Education, mandating an end to racial segregation in public schools. White joined in almost all expansions of that decision, including providing support for affirmative action in college admissions, in the case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke in 1978.
White's vote, however, was not always available to support civil rights claims. He dissented in a 1976 case, Runyon v. McCrary, declaring that federal law bars race discrimination in admissions to private schools. He contended that the law involved only applied to officially required segregation.
If he did not destroy all the papers dealing with all of those high-profile cases, researchers will be able to reconstruct how other Justices reacted to White's drafts, and his influence. The papers, by the way, have just become publicly available–but only to serious researchers–because White had specified that the collection be kept private until ten years after his death. He died on April 15, 2002.
To use the papers, located in the Library's Manuscript Division Reading Room, scholars and other researchers simply need to get a reader registration card, available free from the Library in Washington.
Lyle Denniston is the National Constitution Center's Adviser on Constitutional Literacy. He has reported on the Supreme Court for 54 years, currently covering it for SCOTUSblog, an online clearinghouse of information about the Supreme Court's work.

By: Sundus Alsharif
I do not know
what half-hearted
love is–
I cannot hold its emptiness
in my hands or cultivate its never
growing seeds
in my mind.
All I know is love that
pierces eyes and shakes
the soul to move.
All I know is affection
for the innermost parts
of myself that no one can see but You.
And this love is what my insides
dance for. What they survive for.
What they dream for.
This is the only love that feels
real to me.
Yours. The down to the bone
pulse racing heart calming never ending
My heart only really knows this kind
of love.
So I should not be confused when
I try and fail to hold emptiness in my hands
and wonder:
why am I sad?
Because I tried to give my heart to one who
didn't fashion it. Who didn't really know me like You.
It's like giving a masterpiece to a baby
too young to know Vincent Van Gogh–
and expecting it to find patterns and lines and color schemes fascinating.
But when You hold my heart You recognize each atrium
and ventricle and beat. It's not strange to You.
Sometimes I can't see or feel love. Because I forget the only love my heart really knows. And it's with You. It has always been with You.
Oh Allah.

Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy.
Energy of well being and magnifies physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of love.Book a Healing with Judie
What is Reiki?
Reiki is not a religion but Universal Energies that are received once you have had attunment. It is energy of well being, Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy.
What is Seichem?
Reiki Master Patrick Zeigler had a vision of divine energy thought to be Quan Yin, who gave Patrick the symbols. Seichem teaches you Gateway to the soul. Enhances,expands and magnifies physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of love.
You will feel very relaxed and balanced after a Reiki treatment.
You may feel relaxed/tired but equally you may feel full of energy.
Reiki can also stir up emotions as part of the healing process and some people experience what is known as a healing reaction, such as headache which is normally of short duration.
What Happens During a Treatment?
I will usually give a short explanation of what the treatment involves by looking at your Aura. I will then ask for you to lie down (or sit if this is easier for you), you will not be asked to remove any clothing except for things which could restrict your breathing or comfort, such as shoes or spectacles. Reiki will go through clothing and blankets.
Treatment is given by me placing my hands gently on your body in a pre-determined sequence of hand positions, spending several minutes holding each position. These hand positions are non-intrusive and cover both the front and back of the body and are sometimes varied to give Reiki to areas where it is specifically needed. The touch should be gentle, light and comfortable; there is no massage or manipulation. You may feel sensations such as heat, tingling, coolness or pulsing under my hands or in other parts of your body, or you may feel very little. Many people experience a sense of well-being and relaxation, or fall asleep; sometimes a treatment is energizing. The treatment will normally last at least an hour.
What Many Treatments Will I Need?
This varies from person to person. In general most problems will take time – healing is a process rather than an event. Acute problems generally heal faster than chronic ones and if your problem is of long standing it may require treatments over a longer period of time. I may suggest a number of treatments close together or 1 treatment. However you should feel free to make the decision about the spacing of treatments yourself. You are ultimately responsible for your own health and well-being.

A woman of many talents: Helena Christensen strips off to model new Triumph lingerie collection she designed herself
19:41 GMT, 19 September 2012
She's already a supermodel and a successful photographer, and now Helena Christensen has added another string to her bow by designing her own lingerie range.
The 43-year-old proudly showcases the Helena Christensen for Triumph collection in a stunning new campaign for the underwear brand.
Her designs were apparently inspired by 1940s femme fatale allure and also feature 1970s bohemian elements and 1980s bondage touches.
What a Triumph! Helena Christensen models her 'Helena Christensen for Triumph' collection which goes on sale in January. The 43-year-old has designed the range herself
Stripping off: Helena's designs were apparently inspired by 1940s femme fatale allure and also feature 1970s bohemian elements and 1980s bondage touches
'I am delighted to create my own lingerie line together with Triumph. After three seasons with Triumph Essence, it was a real pleasure to design and create such great pieces of my own,' says Helena.
'I have put a lot of personal experience into the collection, selected all the fabrics and decided on all colours – which range from juicy orange to citrus yellow, aqua and a powdery retro mauve-pink.
'I think this first collection is a reflection on what I have experienced and loved from my career and personal life.'
Helena was photographed at her beach house near Copenhagen, Denmark, for the gorgeous shoot, where she was given full creative direction.
Personal touches: The model and photographer had full creative direction during the sexy photo-shoot
'After three seasons with Triumph Essence, it was a real pleasure to design and create such great pieces of my own,' says Helena
In one image she is pictured
modelling a triangle bra with soft pink tulle covered in black lace and
in another she showcases a push-up bra and high waisted knickers.
Helena, who has a 12-year-son named Mingus with former husband Norman Reedus, also models a loose-fitting
camisole in an art-nouveau-inspired print with citrus yellow straps and a
v-shaped lace panel.
The gorgeous brunette has previously starred in several campaigns for Triumph Essence.
While she designed and modelled three
pieces of lingerie for the brand's Spring/Summer 2012 range, this is
the first full collection she has created.
The Helena Christensen for Triumph collection will hit stores in January 2013.

Editor's note: This is a guest post from Caroline McGraw of A Wish Come Clear.
Last night I dreamt that I was a passenger in a car driving slowly up a familiar road. The scene felt comfortable and ordinary, when suddenly, it changed. All around me was...paradise. The environment became lush, remote and idyllic. Alongside the road grew a myriad of oak trees, gnarled and stately and beautiful. The trees were planted beside a river, and moss hung down from their branches.
The light coming through the old trees made them seem young; in fact, it made everything lovely. I marveled at the sight; how could so many giant trees grow together like this?
I could barely speak for amazement, but when I said aloud, "Where is this place?", I heard the voice of the driver beside me. Though I couldn't see her face, I could hear her reply. She said gently, "Honey, it's not far."
It's not far. When I awoke, that statement still rang in my ears. What did it mean? As a way of answering that question, I've been thinking about other things that aren't as far off as they may seem...
Real relationships aren't far.
I think about this each time I visit the L'Arche home where my husband works. (L'Arche is a faith-based non-profit wherein people with and without intellectual disabilities share life together.) It's where I spent several years as a direct-care assistant, where my husband and I met and fell in love.
Though I've worked at L'Arche for nearly 5 years, I'm soon-to-be self-employed as a writer. This time of transition makes me realize just how important it is for me to stay connected to people. As such, I make sure to have supper at one of the L'Arche houses at least once per week. Those dinners are a part of my connective tissue, part of what keeps me sane. They remind me that I am loved not for what I do, but for who I am.
Compassion isn't far.
Ever since I changed my work schedule, I've been making time for a walk or run every day. It's made such a difference in my perspective. Being outside with no agenda but forward motion wakes me up. It allows me to notice what would ordinarily escape my attention: a crowd of little birds, pecking at a piece of bread; a family of deer, watching as I run past; an older gentleman, hitching up his pants when he thinks no one's watching.
Of course, I'm like you: prone to forget that there's beauty all around me. For example, yesterday morning I attended an 8am work meeting, and I woke up at 6am to get there in time. On my way to my (borrowed) car, I passed through the kitchen of the L'Arche home where I lived and worked for two years.
As I opened the door to the house, I was mentally composing a soliloquy of self-pity. My rant went something like this: "It's so early, and I have to go to this meeting even though I woke up exhausted. I have a runny nose and a stye, I need a shower, and it's all too much!" Had I run into anyone, I'm sure I would have started complaining aloud.
Fortunately, the house was deserted...deserted save for a lone figure slouched over his breakfast cereal. It was my friend Leo*, sitting with his bathrobe and eyes both half-open.
And as soon as I saw him, I could literally feel my attitude change. The sense of self-pity vanished; in its place, I felt compassion. Leo looked tired, too.
I thought of all the mornings I'd helped him with his routine, all the times I'd made sure that bathrobe went into the laundry. I thought of how much we've seen each other through. Both of us lost a close friend this year, and that grief has made its mark.
And what I felt in that moment was gratitude: for Leo, being alive; for me, being alive with him.
What's beautiful isn't far.
That oak-tree dream has stayed with me, not just because of the sense of blessing I felt upon waking but because of the truth embedded in it. It helped me to see that a world of beauty is never far away. Despite the sadness and death and hurt that is being alive, there are also glimpses of paradise to be found within this life we live.

Every week I choose 5 vegan things that I like. They can be food, cosmetics, books, DVD's or it can be a service for vegan like a subscription box. This weeks likes include Custards and Ape Coconut Curls
Human & Kind – Grapefruit 2-in1 Shampoo & Body Wash
I like grapefruit scented products and this one
is quite nice and smells nice too. I love that the
ingredients include grapefruit, aloe vera, oat,
and chamomile etc. …..all nice ingredients.
I have sensitive skin and this works fine for me.
I also like the pretty design on their squeezy bottle,
they obviously wanted it to stand out and it certainly does
(in a good way). I know they have other products in their
range so I will be trying those too and will let you know
what I think of the other products.
Provamel – Soya Vanilla Custard
I love custard and I believe it is one of the culinary
pillars of British society. I have grown up having custard
particularly in school with a lovely treacle sponge.
When I became a vegan I thought my days of enjoying
custard had come to an end. I am pleased to say that
the people at Provamel have created a vegan version of
custard that is very close to regular custard. So now I can
enjoy my cake and custard and I am so pleased yum yum yum.
Whole Earth Crunchy Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is my go-to product when I am stuck
and can't find any vegan options. I can always find
bread and bananas and that with peanut butter can
make breakfast or lunch for me. I like Whole earth
peanut Butter as it does not contain any added sugar
(don't know why anyone needs to add sugar to peanut butter anyway)
In addition it tastes so nice, I usually don't like crunchy
peanut butter but I do like this one as the
crunchy pieces aren't too big… they are just right.
Ape Coconut Curls
These quirky looking snacks are a nice healthy treat.
They taste scrumptious and have less than
110 calories per bag. In addition they are gluten free,
high in fibre and have no added sugar. They can go
into your lunchbox and I also discovered that
they taste really nice when sprinkled on top of a stir fry.
Ombar Centres – Coconut & Vanilla
I have tried a number of different vegan chocolates
and I must say that some are not fit for human
consumption and I have no idea how the manufacturers
stay in business. But Ombar is the total
opposite… it tastes soooo good.
They have lots of different flavours and fillings too.
All I can say is go and buy a bar today…
please eat responsibly :0) as it is VERY moreish.

Paper ISMAR 2009: "Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information"
Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information
- K. Kim, S. Oh, J. Lee, and I. Essa (2009), "Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information," in Proceedings of IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), 2009. [PDF] [WEBSITE] [VIDEO] [DOI] [BLOG] [BIBTEX]

Essa}, blog = {http://prof.irfanessa.com/2009/10/20/augearth-ismar2009/}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR)}, doi = {10.1109/ISMAR.2009.5336505}, month = {October}, pdf = {http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~irfan/p/2009-Kim-AAEMWDI.pdf}, title = {Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information}, url = {http://www.cc.gatech.edu/cpl/projects/augearth/}, video = {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPk88soc2qw}, year = {2009} }
We introduce methods for augmenting aerial visualizations of Earth (from tools such as Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth) with dynamic information obtained from videos. Our goal is to make Augmented Earth Maps that visualize the live broadcast of dynamic sceneries within a city. We propose different approaches to analyze videos of pedestrians and cars, under differing conditions and then augment Aerial Earth Maps (AEMs) with live and dynamic information. We also analyze natural phenomenon (clouds) and project information from these to the AEMs to add the visual reality.

Whether you call this travel trend secret hotels, undercover hotels, blind booking or opaque booking, it's all the same 'educated risk' formula: price-conscious consumer books or bids on a hotel without knowing its exact location.
Popularizing Undercover Hotels Companies like Hotwire and Priceline popularized opaque booking, but recently others have jumped on the bandwagon. At the end of March, Travelocity launched 'Top Secret Hotels' in a direct move to compete with the aforementioned blind booking giants, while Last Minute Travel's Undercover Hotels* share the same goal. Both Travelocity and Last Minute Travel's 'secret hotels' recipe mirrors Hotwire's approach: travel seeker knows the hotel's area, star level, amenities and price, but not it's brand or exact location. It's only when they've committed to the listing (by entering credit card info) that they unlock the secret: the hotel and its location.
Blind Booking Sites - Priceline.com (learn how to get a great deal on Priceline here) - Hotwire.com - Travelocity.com - Lastminutetravel.com - GermanWings.com (German airline)
*Travel Tip: One not-to-miss feature of Lastmintuetravel.com's undercover hotels is the map located at the bottom of each individual listing. The regular map view shows a fairly large radius where the hotel in question could be located, but if you click on the "bird's eye" view, the area suddenly focuses on a small geo area allowing you to figure out what hotel you're going to get.

From Robert Byrd's appearance on Booknotes in 1989:
"[Senator Mansfield had] kind of a laid back style. I served under both Mr. Johnson when he was Majority Leader and Mr. Mansfield. Mr. Johnson -- the hard driving type. The type who would twist arms, cajole, threaten, plead and drive. Mr. Mansfield was just the opposite. He believed in letting every Senator go his own way, make up his own mind. He didn't attempt to twist arms. I did the floor work. Mr. Mansfield was back in his office reading the press, papers, and books and so on. So they had their different styles. Both were good leaders."
Funny how Byrd ducks the question of what he thought about Joseph McCarthy.

Why Choose Inland Imaging

- 10 imaging modalities available including: X-ray, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), 2 and 3D Mammography, Spect CT, PET CT, Nuclear Medicine and Bone Densitometry
Our History
Inland Imaging's history dates back to 1937 when a predecessor practice called Spokane Diagnostic Radiology was formed. The entity that was to become Inland Imaging came into being in the 1970s as Inland Radiology PS and was at the cutting edge of introducing a number of new imaging technologies developed over about a 10-year period in the 1970s and 80s, such as Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
On Jan. 1, 1998, Sacred Heart Medical Center and Holy Family Hospital (now both part of the Providence Health System), partnered with Inland Imaging Management Inc. to form Inland Imaging LLC to provide outpatient radiology services at free standing imaging centers around the Spokane area.
The partnership allowed the company to reduce duplication, use staffing more efficiently, accelerate the introduction of new services and technologies, and allow Inland's radiologists to delve more deeply into subspecialty fields, such as pediatric, neurologic and interventional radiology. It also allowed Inland to expand out further into the rural hospital system in Eastern Washington and to start their own Nighthawk overnight reading service.
In 2001, Holy Family Hospital began a major construction project to create a new Emergency Department. The hospital approached Inland Imaging LLC to provide imaging services for its Emergency Department and in-Hospital patients. This allowed Inland Imaging LLC to consolidate multiple offices on the northside into one 30,000sf location on the Holy Family campus when the new Emergency Department and Imaging center opened in 2003.
Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children's Hospital once again approached Inland Imaging Business Associates in 2014 looking for ways to improve the performance of its in-patient Imaging Department. The two organizations created an agreement that allows Inland Imaging Business Associates (IIBA) to provide Management services and technical and clerical staff within SHMC for the MRI, CT, Ultrasound and General Diagnostic departments.
Most recently, Inland Imaging has expanded its geographic scope by partnering with radiology groups in Missoula, Montana (2017) and Richland, Washington (Fall of 2018).
All this expansion allows and supports Inland Imaging's core purpose of providing answers you can trust and care you can count on.Nike Air Flight Huarache

The Obama administration plans to announce Tuesday that the Justice Department recovered more than $5.6 billion in fraud committed against the government in fiscal 2011. Almost $3.4 billion of the funds came in civil fraud recoveries, with more than $2.2 billion tied to criminal fraud, according to administration officials familiar with the announcement who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The announcement is tied to a Cabinet-level meeting to be held Tuesday regarding plans to cut wasteful government spending across federal agencies and departments.
Among other cases, the Justice Department reached a $15 million settlement with American Grocers, a Texas company that was buying cheap expired food, altering expiration dates on the food and selling it with a steep markup to the federal government to serve to U.S. troops serving in the Middle East.
But most of the recoveries were tied to health-care fraud and the work of what officials call Medicare Fraud Strike Forces, or specialized teams of agents and prosecutors from the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services in nine cities that are monitoring Medicare spending and quickly bringing cases to court, the officials said. In 2008, the strike forces brought cases involving $384 million in fraudulent claims; this year, cases have topped $1 billion, officials said.
Fraud recoveries are up considerably in recent years, the administration officials said, jumping by 167 percent since 2008. Justice has recovered $15 billion in total fraud since 2009, of which $8.4 billion was tied to health care fraud. The money is returned to state governments, Medicare and Medicaid, to the Treasury for deficit reduction and to whistleblowers who identified the fraud, officials said.
Vice President Biden will chair Tuesday's meeting, which will be attended by several Cabinet secretaries who plan to share similar examples of how they are identifying potential savings or cracking down on wasteful spending and fraud.
At HHS, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is expected to unveil plans for the department to urge insurance companies to withhold payments on suspicious claims by patients who "doctor shop," or use multiple doctors to obtain prescriptions for painkillers and narcotics including OxyContin and Percocet that can easily be abused or resold illegally.
The problem is a growing concern: A Government Accountability Office report released in October found that about 170,000 Medicare beneficiaries were receiving prescriptions for painkillers from five or more doctors at a cost of about $148 million paid by Medicare. In 2008, GAO said one beneficiary was able to obtain prescriptions for a total of 3,655 oxycodone pills from 58 different prescribers.
Tuesday's meeting was also when we were expected to get our first look at how agencies and departments are cutting back on travel and conference costs in the wake of a controversial Justice Department watchdog report that initially accused the department of spending up to $16 on muffins served at a breakfast meeting.
The department's acting inspector general later revised the findings, but not before the Office of Management and Budget ordered agencies to curtail and revamp their conference spending plans in time for Tuesday's meeting.
But administration officials said late Monday that the spending reviews are underway as part of a broader order by President Obama to cut 20 percent of spending on travel, conference costs, technology and "office swag."

The Evolution of Talent Management
See if these comments from an article about the real costs of poor people management practices sound familiar:
No one knows better than HR professionals that an organization's human capital is its most important asset. The positive impact made by a single motivated manager, an innovative thinker or a newcomer with an ambitious new project can reverberate positively within businesses of any size. Conversely, the burden of people performing below par — the hours spent correcting mistakes, the money wasted on unproductive performance, and the costs of having to recruit and train replacement staff — take a powerfully negative toll on the bottom line.
Yet, far too many executives today continue to regard HR as a non-strategic cost and to under-invest in hiring and employee development solutions. Why would astute executives take this position? Organizations have long had a difficult time connecting human performance costs with their root cause. Underperformance, and its associated costs, results in large part from having the wrong people in jobs. Until the person-job match connection is made, organizations will continue to under-fund proactive investments to ensure that the right people are filling jobs in their organizations, and to over-fund reactive investments in dealing with employee performance problems.
As the world merges into one global economy, human capital is, more than ever, the key driver of profit and innovation. The advantages will go to those who can redefine skill sets, reconcile cultural differences, and match the right people to the right jobs through intelligent and objective assessment.
For those who follow current trends in human capital, this excerpt may sound very familiar. Would it surprise you to learn that this was taken from an article published in 2004?
In 2004 Facebook was founded, blogging was named the word of the year and George W. Bush was re-elected President. The Dow Jones Average closed at 10,783 and the stock price of Valero Energy had risen 93%. The top grossing movie was Shrek 2 and the top selling book was The Da Vinci Code.
The world has changed dramatically in 12 years. In business, marketing/advertising is done on social media. Purchasing and distribution is now supply chain. Cost reduction is focused on sustainability. Tightly controlled corporate data has moved to the cloud and is accessed via BYOD. Yet for many organizations, people practices have not evolved nearly enough.
What will HR and people practices look like 12 years from now? Will business executives in 2028 look back and be amazed that managers did annual performance reviews? Or that companies ran job postings to attract talent? Or that people relied on employers for their health insurance? Or that workers commuted every day to an office? Or that US employees only received an average of 2-3 weeks of vacation per year? Or that quarterly profits drove corporate behavior? Or that pay rates were based on tenure? Or that Human Resources was called that?
Given the amount of disruption in every aspect of business, HR and people practices are unlikely to look the same as today (and 2004). What will it look like? How will HR evolve?

End of SummerLeave a comment
September 2, 2009 by The Citron Review
by Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo
Beatles by campfire on acoustic guitars,
smoked air mixing in salt ocean mist,
marshmallow torches, melted shoes
kept too long by the fire pit,
Ditch'em under a full moon,
percolating coffee on kerosene stoves,
waving to smeared faces on a silver bullet
Amtrak, bronzed boys running a football
down the sand, banana yellow boogie board,
threatening seaweed tangled around legs,
pelting surf, a gasp for air,
dug up sand fleas tickling the palm,
wet towels lined on tents drying in midday sun,
black tar stuck to feet, Mom's turpentine
remedies in quarter operated showers,
long naps in low hammocks,
zipped up gossip whispered across
canvas sleeping bags, cooing with a crush
perched in a tree tucked away by leaves,
Sunday morning trash pick up: horse shoe,
bottle cap, Tile Rummy red #2, gum wrapper.
If only childhood could be as easily retrieved,
but even as I write, the picture smears like
the day outside my window on the drive back home.
