The sun came up early on Wednesday and invited me to take part in a great Sicilian Road Rally. Leaving Aci Castello's Malibu complex at 8:45 a.m., the first stop was Taormina to the north to pick up our Happy Wanderer, Paul Petrich.
I am happy to report that Taormina is still standing, having survived Paul's full frontal attack!
On the flip side, Taormina is no longer the quaint, sleepy hill top town I first discovered in January, the tourist season has definitely started!!!
Paul is in Europe for FIVE WEEKS and these two bags comprise his ENTIRE luggage set! A seasoned veteran of world wide travel, he would bring a smile to Rick Steves' face with his packing methods.
Laurie and Koreen are you listening?
This was Paul as he was about to enter his new digs, Dolce Vita B&B near the crystal clear water in Cefalu'.
I drove Paul up the east coast of Sicily to Messina. We actually missed the onramp to the autostrada in Taormina and drove along the two lane coast road for about 30 minutes accidently discovering a couple of very interesting beach cities along the way.
Once back on the autostrada, we zipped along at about 2,000 miles per hour trying to keep up with the Vespas on the road. After Messina, the autostrada turned west as we drove along the north coast of the island to Paul's next destination, the beautiful beach city of Cefalu' on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The Malibu crowd has a favorite restorante in Cefalu', Il Covo del Pirata. It sits abot 30 feet over the water and has very good food to boot.
Paul opted for the spaghetti with sardines while I stuck to my penne with gorgonzola and prisciutto crudo.
Notice how I have artfully put myself in the picture in the reflection in the window. The masters of Italian art would be proud!
A little wine after lunch is a good thing.
Interestingly, our waitress who took the previous picture wanted me to take one of her and Paul.
Paul was so excited that when he sat back down he hit the table and spilled a full glass of water on my lap, NO JOKE! Thank God the wine was saved.
Cefalu' was also MUCH busier than in past off-season visits. As beautiful as it is can you blame visitors for flocking here?
Aci Trezza Nightlife
Even our nearby home bases is much changed as it prepares for the summer onslaught.
After a defensively well attended practice for once, we got a pizza in Aci Castello and then drove over to Aci Trezza for a granita. Both towns have opened new places to nosh and my granita plans got interrupted by Michael's Crepe stand. Nutella crepe anyone?
Note Jason in the background ordering what turned out to be a very solid chicken panino in the background after already consuming a very large margherita pizza 10 minutes ago...THAT'S MY BOY!!!

Lately the future of Apple has been nothing but gloom and doom. Steve Jobs undisclosed illness and uncertainty as to whether any one else could run the company like Jobs. Can anyone but Jobs create innovative products? No one knows but Apple today received what could be described is a late visit for Mr. Claus. I was surprised to read today that Apple has received its patent #7,479,949: Touch screen device, method, and graphical user interface for determining commands by applying heuristics. In simple terms its the cool stuff behind the IPhone and Ipod Touch Interface. This means that it put a huge dent in the rival Palm plans to counter attack the IPhone success with its product the Palm Pre. Â
 This battle with Palm can only be good for Apple. I view it as going one of two ways. First a flat out failure to license the technology and let the courts figure it out. This is not a good long term move for Palm. There is simply too much to risk. Option 2: it means at some point Palm will have to settle and license the touch technology from Apple. In financial terms this means that everyone who uses a touch screen interface on a mobile device will be paying cash to Apple. This broadens Apples revenue stream far beyond the Ipod and Iphone. Now no matter what "cool" mobile device you choose you are paying a king's tribute to Jobs and Apple in the form of a licensing contract.

Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier (born October 6, 1887 in , Switzerland) pioneered European modernism in architecture and laid the foundation for what became the Bauhaus Movement in Germany and the International Style in the US. He was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris but adopted his mother's maiden name, Le Corbusier, in 1922 when he set up a partnership with his cousin, engineer Pierre Jeanneret. His writings and theories helped define a new modernism in materials and design.
The young pioneer of modern architecture first studied art education at La Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland. Le Corbusier was never formally trained as an architect, yet he went to Paris and studied modern building construction with Auguste Perret and later worked with Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann. While in Paris, the future Le Corbusier met the French artist Amédée Ozenfant and together they published Après le Cubisme [After Cubism] in 1918. Coming into their own as artists, the pair rejected the Cubists' fragmented aesthetic for a more stripped-down, machine-driven style they called Purism. Le Corbusier continued his exploration of purity and color in his Polychromie Architecturale, color charts that are still used today.
The earlier buildings by Le Corbusier were smooth, white concrete and glass structures elevated above the ground. He called these works "pure prisms." In the late 1940s, Le Corbusier turned to a style known as "New Brutalism", which used rough, heavy forms of stone, concrete, stucco, and glass.The same modernist ideas found in Le Corbusier's architecture were also expressed in his designs for simple, streamlined furniture. Imitations of Le Corbusier's chrome-plated tubular steel chairs are still made today.
Le Corbusier is perhaps best known for his innovations in urban planning and his solutions for low income housing. Le Corbusier believed that the stark, unornamented buildings he designed would contribute to clean, bright, healthy cities. Le Corbusier's urban ideals were realized in the Unité d'Habitation, or the "Radiant City," in Marseilles, France. The Unite incorporated shops, meeting rooms, and living quarters for 1,600 people in a 17-story structure. Today, visitors can stay at the Unite in the historic Hotel Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier died August 27, 1965 in Cap Martin, France.

Home › Small Dog Diet › Superfoods for Dogs
What are the Best Superfoods for Dogs?
We've heard a lot about superfoods, and a quick internet search may reveal how interested people are in these beneficial foods. Before I go farther, for the sake of transparency, I may receive a compensation for links on this page.
A gigantic 131,000,000 results come back, mostly from health and nutrition blogs. But is there such a thing as superfoods for dogs?
The human nutrition market is spilling over into the canine world, and new supplements are popping up daily But what exactly is a superfood.
The Oxford English dictionary defines a superfood
"a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially
beneficial for health and well-being."
On the other hand, the Merriam-Webster dictionary omits any reference to health and defines it as
"a super nutrient-dense food, loaded with vitamins, minerals,
fiber, antioxidants, and/or phytonutrients."
Superfoods are those that are packed with a dense array of nutrients that boast of many health benefits including improving the immune system, increasing energy, and increasing overall health. Many have ingredients that target a particular organ system such as the heart, liver, or kidneys.
Where did the term originate? It seems we've been using it for a long time, but it turns out that we can trace the word back to 2004. According to Wild Blueberries,
Dr. Steven Pratt, a best-selling author, ocular surgeon and healthcare, nutrition and lifestyle specialist, first used the word in his 2004 book, SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life. According to Dr. Pratt, some nutrient-rich foods play a significant role in achieving optimal health.
Since dogs can eat a large number of foods that were initially termed, people food, it goes to reason that these superfoods would improve the overall health of dogs too. Naturally, there are some exceptions such as cocoa for example. Chocolate has been identified as a superfood for humans, but dogs should not eat chocolate as it can be toxic.
The blue color comes from anthocyanidins, potent antioxidants, and phytochemicals that give the fruit its characteristic color. Blueberries also make an excellent treat for your dog, but go easy as too much of a good thing can cause diarrhea. The berries also supply vitamins C and E, fiber, and manganese. If fresh blueberries are not in season, frozen berries are readily available in food stores.
Raw or cooked, broccoli is an excellent anti-carcinogen and can help prevent the onset of skin and heart problems amongst older dogs. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber essential to the diet. It is high in vitamin C and folate, a vitamin that can reduce the risk of heart disease, and some cancers.
Carrots make a healthy crunchy snack for dogs. They are bursting with fiber, carotenoids, vitamins C and K, which is needed for blood clotting, and potassium. They also contain manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and most of the B vitamins necessary for energy production.
This traditional grain has many of the same benefits as the more well-known flax seed. The nutritional benefits include protein, antioxidants, calcium, omega fatty acids, and fiber. They also can hydrate the body.
Eggs are original superfoods for dogs and people, packed with proteins that help promote healthy digestion build healthy bones, and provide vitamins A, D, E and K. Eggs should be cooked to prevent the possibility of salmonella poisoning.
Oily fish such as anchovies, mackerel, sardines, salmon, and herring are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are very important for a dog's brain, coat, and skin. They also limit inflammation that causes pain associated with arthritis and other chronic canine ailments.
Fish is an excellent protein source, as well as many essential vitamins and minerals. Salmon, in particular, provides a massive amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, especially important if you want to thicken your dog's coat and relieve the itching that accompanies allergies and improve the integrity of the skin.
Kale is a supercharged leafy vegetable that contains an abundant number of vitamins, including A, E, and C. It is an excellent source of antioxidants and helps the liver detoxify the body. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. As superfoods for dogs, kale is one of the best. Dogs with certain types of bladder stones or kidney disease should not eat this food.
Nori is a dry, edible seaweed used in many Japanese dishes such as sushi. It contains protein, galactans (a starch and type of soluble fiber. Nori is also packed with vitamins including C, E and B vitamins. Minerals such as copper and zinc are also found in Nori. This superfood for dogs is helpful in improving immune functions and aids in fat metabolism.
Pumpkin might conjure up images of jack-o-lanterns, at least in the US, or pumpkin pie, bread, or soup, but there is no denying the nutritional value of this vegetable. High in soluble fiber and low in calories, pumpkin helps support healthy digestion.
Pumpkin is low and sodium and high in carotenoids, potassium, vitamin C. It also has some B vitamins and calcium. Canned organic pumpkin is readily available in food stores, but be sure to pick a pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
Commonly considered a grain, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is actually a seed related to spinach. Quinoa is an exceptional source of a complete vegetarian protein supplying all eight of the essential amino acids and is also an outstanding source of fiber, folate, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and many phytochemicals. Quinoa is an antioxidant and can help reduce the risk of diabetes.
Sweet potatoes are a great superfoods for dogs, popular with the canine crowd, and possess 150% more antioxidants than blueberries and contain a healthy dose of beta-carotene. Also, sweet potatoes contain vitamin C for immune health and A for heart health.
Yogurt contains active cultures of good bacteria, and these probiotics improve digestive function. It also contains protein, calcium, iodine, zinc, potassium, vitamin B12, phosphorus. Yogurt can also provide a decent source of other B vitamins such as riboflavin and pantothenic acid.
Like humans, dogs have a variety of critical dietary needs. And with increasing concern over the ingredients in commercial dog food, over-processing, and lack of a quality source of vitamins and minerals, superfoods are an excellent addition to the dog's diet.
You could serve a bit of one or more of these superfoods for dogs as a treat daily, but there is a better way. PawTree® is a company that devoted to making a difference in the lives of pets and people. Backed by veterinarians and a PhD in animal nutrition, the company sells a variety of products that improve the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats.

Here is a list of the actual ingredients in the superfood. Don't get too confused by the long list of scientific sounding words. The natural mixed tocopherols is another name for Vitamin E and the rest of the ingredients after that are vitamins and minerals.
Ingredients: Ground Chicken Liver, Tomatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Pumpkin, Cranberries, Organic Carrots, Pomegranates, Blueberries, Natural Flavor, Natural Mixed Tocopherols, Zinc Proteinate, Betaine Anhydrous, Iron Proteinate, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E Supplement, Calcium Carbonate, Niacin Supplement, Biotin, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Natural Mesquite Smoke Flavor, Rosemary Extract.
Calorie Content ME (Calculated): 3,200 kcal/kg 6 kcal/avg level teaspoon
Since the product is high in calories, it is not intended to be used on a daily basis but as an addition to a good nutrition program.
My dogs have sampled many of the flavors, and so far, I haven't noticed a preference for one over the other. What I do see is their willingness to eat the food readily, even my most picky eaters, so I can definitely say that this product is highly favorable and tasty to dogs.
We always appreciate your support and encouragement. Your thumbs up means so much to us.

How it works
- Create tickets in Zendesk: Automatically create a ticket in Zendesk once a survey response is received. You can configure the rules for creating the tickets, ensuring we only create those tickets based on the parameters you set (ex. only for Detractors). All tickets created by Delighted will be automatically addressed to the survey respondent – helping to streamline your closed loop processes.
- Trigger Delighted surveys: Survey customers after a ticket is solved or closed. You can set-up the integration to fire-off the survey right away, or at a delay you specify.
Setting it up
- Visit the Delighted Zendesk integration page
- Type in your Zendesk domain name
- Click the button: "Connect to Zendesk"
- When prompted "Allow Delighted to access your Zendesk account?", click "Allow"
- You'll be taken back to Delighted, landing on the Zendesk integration page
- Create any rules
- Optional: Click on the checkbox for "Sync Delighted repsonses with people in Zendesk"
- Optional: Click the checkbox for "Send a Delighted survey automatically" (specifying ticket status and delay)
- Click "Save & turn on"
FAQ table of contents
- How do I configure the Zendesk integration to trigger a Delighted survey?
- What properties are pulled in from Zendesk when triggering surveys?
- Just received a response - why am I not seeing a new ticket in Zendesk?
- It has been 10 minutes since the response was received in Delighted, why are new tickets not being generated in Zendesk?
- What does the synced ticket look like in Zendesk?
- What Delighted response details are synced to Zendesk?
How do I configure the Zendesk integration to trigger a Delighted survey?
To set-up the Zendesk trigger:
- Head to the Zendesk integration page
- Optional: Configure any other aspects of the integration (ex. rules for creating tickets in Zendesk)
- Click the checkbox for "Send a Delighted survey automatically"
- Select a ticket status that will trigger a survey
- Select a delay (or opt to send instantly)
- Click "Save & turn on"
Here's the whole process in action:
What properties are pulled in from Zendesk when triggering surveys?
When triggering a survey after a ticket is closed/solved in Zendesk, we'll capture a handful of key Zendesk ticket fields to help with segmenting feedback on the Delighted dashboard, as well as linking the Delighted feedback back to the original Zendesk ticket. Those key ticket data fields include:
- Ticket ID
- Ticket URL
- Ticket Via
- Assignee Name
- Requester ID
- Ticket Tags
Just received a response - why am I not seeing a new ticket in Zendesk?
We include a 10 minute delay between the moment a response is received in Delighted, and the moment we create that conversation in Zendesk. This delay ensures we provide adequate time for the customer to provide a comment (if applicable) prior to syncing over all that response detail.
It has been 10 minutes since the response was received in Delighted, why are new tickets not being generated in Zendesk?
Beyond the delay noted above, tickets are most often not being created within Zendesk due to survey responses not triggering their creation. For example, if using the rule "Only promoters who comment", no other tickets will be created unless Delighted responses meet that exact specification.
Be sure to check your rules and recent responses to see if there are any eligible responses that should create a ticket. If it looks like there are eligible responses that didn't trigger a ticket, let us know and we'll take a look!
What does the synced ticket look like in Zendesk?
When tickets are created via the Delighted/Zendesk integration, they will appear like this on your dashboard:
Once opened, the full ticket will show the synced feedback, including comment and score, as a private note on the ticket:
As a quick side note, private note information is only visible to you and your team. When replying to the customer, their score, comment, and other information in the note will not be visible.
What Delighted response details are synced to Zendesk?
We'll pass through the score, comment, email, and any other property data as an internal note on a ticket created in Zendesk. This internal note is only visible to your team members, giving you all the information you need to close the loop with the customer directly within Zendesk.
We also attach a few tags to the ticket. One tag is titled "Delighted" and the other tag indicates the type of score (promoter, passive, detractor). Tags offer a great foundation for setting up rules in Zendesk, such as auto-assigning Delighted-created tickets to a specific team member.
On the Zendesk integration page, you'll have the option to turn on the syncing of Delighted response detail with Users in Zendesk. If enabled, we'll also sync the response to the User record, which will show their most recent Delighted score as a tag.

MusicJohn Locke's 1690 An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.NarrativeMain article: Free responseEmployment essays detailing experience in a certain occupational field are required when applying for some jobs, especially government jobs in the United States. Essays known as Knowledge Skills and Executive Core Qualifications are required when applying to certain US federal government positions.ReflectiveDescriptiveThe objective, the factual, and the concrete particular: The essayists that write from this pole "do not speak directly of themselves, but turn their attention outward to some literary or scientific or political theme. Their art consists of setting forth, passing judgment upon, and drawing general conclusions from the relevant data".An essay has been defined in a variety of ways. One definition is a "prose composition with a focused subject of discussion" or a "long, systematic discourse".[2] It is difficult to define the genre into which essays fall. Aldous Huxley, a leading essayist, gives guidance on the subject.[3] He notes that "the essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything", and adds that "by tradition, almost by definition, the essay is a short piece". Furthermore, Huxley argues that "essays belong to a literary species whose extreme variability can be studied most effectively within a three-poled frame of reference". These three poles (or worlds in which the essay may exist) are:Compare and contrast essays are characterized by a basis for comparison, points of comparison, and analogies. It is grouped by the object (chunking) or by point (sequential). The comparison highlights the similarities between two or more similar objects while contrasting highlights the differences between two or more objects. When writing a compare/contrast essay, writers need to determine their purpose, consider their audience, consider the basis and points of comparison, consider their thesis statement, arrange and develop the comparison, and reach a conclusion. Compare and contrast is arranged emphatically.[8]An argumentative essay is a critical piece of writing, aimed at presenting objective analysis of the subject matter, narrowed down to a single topic. The main idea of all the criticism is to provide an opinion either of positive or negative implication. As such, a critical essay requires research and analysis, strong internal logic and sharp structure. Its structure normally builds around introduction with a topic's relevance and a thesis statement, body paragraphs with arguments linking back to the main thesis, and conclusion. In addition, an argumentative essay may include a refutation section where conflicting ideas are acknowledged, described, and criticized. Each argument of argumentative essay should be supported with sufficient evidence, relevant to the point.
An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.[1]An 1895 cover of Harpers, a US magazine that prints a number of essays per issue.As with the novel, essays existed in Japan several centuries before they developed in Europe with a genre of essays known as zuihitsu — loosely connected essays and fragmented ideas. Zuihitsu have existed since almost the beginnings of Japanese literature. Many of the most noted early works of Japanese literature are in this genre. Notable examples include The Pillow Book (c. 1000), by court lady Sei Shōnagon, and Tsurezuregusa (1330), by particularly renowned Japanese Buddhist monk Yoshida Kenkō. Kenkō described his short writings similarly to Montaigne, referring to them as "nonsensical thoughts" written in "idle hours". Another noteworthy difference from Europe is that women have traditionally written in Japan, though the more formal, Chinese-influenced writings of male writers were more prized at the time.A process essay is used for an explanation of making or breaking something. Often, it is written in chronological order or numerical order to show step-by-step processes. It has all the qualities of a technical document with the only difference is that it is often written in descriptive mood, while a technical document is mostly in imperative mood.[19]In countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, essays have become a major part of a formal education in the form of free response questions. Secondary students in these countries are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills, and essays are often used by universities in these countries in selecting applicants (see admissions essay). In both secondary and tertiary education, essays are used to judge the mastery and comprehension of the material. Students are asked to explain, comment on, or assess a topic of study in the form of an essay. In some courses, university students must complete one or more essays over several weeks or months. In addition, in fields such as the humanities and social sciences,[citation needed] mid-term and end of term examinations often require students to write a short essay in two or three hours.An essayist writes a familiar essay if speaking to a single reader, writing about both themselves, and about particular subjects. Anne Fadiman notes that "the genre's heyday was the early nineteenth century," and that its greatest exponent was Charles Lamb.[15] She also suggests that while critical essays have more brain than the heart, and personal essays have more heart than brain, familiar essays have equal measures of both.[16]An exemplification essay is characterized by a generalization and relevant, representative, and believable examples including anecdotes. Writers need to consider their subject, determine their purpose, consider their audience, decide on specific examples, and arrange all the parts together when writing an exemplification essay.[14]English essayists included Robert Burton (1577–1641) and Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682). In France, Michel de Montaigne's three volume Essais in the mid 1500s contain over 100 examples widely regarded as the predecessor of the modern essay. In Italy, Baldassare Castiglione wrote about courtly manners in his essay Il Cortigiano. In the 17th century, the Jesuit Baltasar Gracián wrote about the theme of wisdom.[5] During the Age of Enlightenment, essays were a favored tool of polemicists who aimed at convincing readers of their position; they also featured heavily in the rise of periodical literature, as seen in the works of Joseph Addison, Richard Steele and Samuel Johnson. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Edmund Burke and Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote essays for the general public. The early 19th century, in particular, saw a proliferation of great essayists in English – William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, Leigh Hunt and Thomas de Quincey all penned numerous essays on diverse subjects. In the 20th century, a number of essayists tried to explain the new movements in art and culture by using essays (e.g., T.S. Eliot). Whereas some essayists used essays for strident political themes, Robert Louis Stevenson and Willa Cather wrote lighter essays. Virginia Woolf, Edmund Wilson, and Charles du Bos wrote literary criticism essays.[5]Compare and contrastCause and effectClassification is the categorization of objects into a larger whole while division is the breaking of a larger whole into smaller parts.[7]
An essayist writes a familiar essay if speaking to a single reader, writing about both themselves, and about particular subjects. Anne Fadiman notes that "the genre's heyday was the early nineteenth century," and that its greatest exponent was Charles Lamb.[15] She also suggests that while critical essays have more brain than the heart, and personal essays have more heart than brain, familiar essays have equal measures of both.[16]The personal and the autobiographical: The essayists that feel most comfortable in this pole "write fragments of reflective autobiography and look at the world through the keyhole of anecdote and description".ReflectiveA history essay sometimes referred to as a thesis essay describes an argument or claim about one or more historical events and supports that claim with evidence, arguments, and references. The text makes it clear to the reader why the argument or claim is as such.[17]Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (e.g., Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population are counterexamples.An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.[1]DialecticVisual artsIn the realm of music, composer Samuel Barber wrote a set of "Essays for Orchestra," relying on the form and content of the music to guide the listener's ear, rather than any extra-musical plot or story.MusicOne of the challenges facing universities is that in some cases, students may submit essays purchased from an essay mill (or "paper mill") as their own work. An "essay mill" is a ghostwriting service that sells pre-written essays to university and college students. Since plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty or academic fraud, universities and colleges may investigate papers they suspect are from an essay mill by using plagiarism detection software, which compares essays against a database of known mill essays and by orally testing students on the contents of their papers.[21]

Welcome to another week of In Conversation With. This week I chatted with Helen who runs the fantastic and highly information blog Talking Mums. I am drooling over the recipes Helen adds to the blog and wonder how does she come up with such fantastic meal ideas. I wish A wasn't a fussy eater so I could try these recipes on her. Helen is also a midwife and shares her vast array of knowledge on her blog. Read on to see what she has to say about pregnancy, parenting and how she would deal with a crying baby in the supermarket!
In Conversation With: Winnettes
I am really delighted to have decided to bring back In Conversation With this year. I debated starting a new series altogether. Instead, I have revived ICW with a host of new questions for those lovely Momma and Papa Bears who would like to take part. ICW with now be published fortnightly, instead of weekly. I have to free up a bit of time if I'm to get that novel written! If you would like to sign up for ICW, drop me a mail. First up, this January, is the beautiful Kirsty who writes a fab parenting and food blog called Winnettes. On her blog, she shares her adventures with her two gorgeous little ones, Pinky and Perky 🙂
In Conversation With: Queen of Collage
And here we are, at the very last In Conversation With Series for 2016 on Over Heaven's Hill. I have absolutely loved doing this series, meeting and chatting to so many other Mum's and Dad's who are finding that evocative balance on life between work and family life. So many, I have chatted to, have used their creative talents, whether that is making crafts or using their skills as a writer to keep an aspect of their own personality in their parenting lives. In Conversation With will be back in 2017 but under a new format which I'm currently working on. You never know what the future may bring! In the final installement of this series I am speaking to Helena, who writes her blog at Queen of Collage. An accomplished artist, crafter and writer, her blog is one to follow. I especially love her word of the week series which is poignant and thought provoking. Read on to see how Helena managed family life.
5 Ways Your Relationship Changes with a Toddler
Oh me, oh my how life changes when babies appear and how life changes as they grow up and morph from babies to toddlers to children. I listed five ways our relationship changed when the toddler took over. Five changes among a list of a million and I wouldn't change any of it for the world.
This post was originally posted on Talya's blog Motherhood the Real Deal
In Conversation With: Jaki Jellz
We are nearing the end of the In Conversation With series, for 2016, on Over Heaven's Hill. This weeks chat, is the penultimate in the 2016 series, with the beautiful Jaki sharing her insight into parenting. Jaki is one of those bloggers who makes you think long and hard about the topics she writes. Often her blog posts sit with me for a few days after I've soaked them up. Posts like Why We Shouldn't Feel the Baby Pressure and Who Should Discipline our Children? Read on to see how Jaki finds parenting her three year old son.
Realex Web Awards: Date With My Mum
Quite a surprising thing happened to me on Tuesday in the early afternoon. An email zipped into my inbox from the organisers of the Realex Web Awards, dropping the bombshell that I was a finalist in the awards. I have to say, I wasn't expecting this in the slightest and thought that my days of attending award ceremonies were over and done with for this year. But nope, not just yet. The Littlewoods Ireland Blog Awards, two weeks ago, was great fun. I anticipated it with excitement and, I'll admit, slight anxiety since it was my first Blogger event and as a finalist no less. Papa Bear came along with me and we made a night of it, booking a hotel, revelling in the incredible acrobatics of the Circus and picking little miss up at 11am the next morning. This time, I wasn't following the announcements for the Realex Web Awards and missed that I was a finalist. The Awards were thrown on me a day before the Ceremony. Yep, a day before! The event was last night, in Dublin's Liberty Hall Theatre. Since it was all very last minute, juggling work, babysitters and life in general, I pretty much figured it was out of the question for me to attend. I had almost resigned myself to missing the night until Papa Bear encouraged me to go if I could get a date. A date? But of course, there was only one person to ask. I was absolutely delighted that my Mum was happy to be my arm candy for the night.
Princess for a Day: Wooly Ward's Farm Fairytale Event Review
Last month, I gave you our review of the Teddy Bears Picnic at Wooly Wards Farm. Today, I am delighted to bring you another review of the wonderful Fairytale Summer Finale at Wooly Wards which we went to last Saturday.

5 Free Days Out in Dublin
We are finally on another weeks holidays! Thank Pete for annual leave. Working full time really makes B and I appreciate the days we have off with A. We've been planning this week since the beginning of July and coming up with ideas and fun things to do each day. Yes, it is another Staycation. And why not? There are so many fantastic things for us to do. Money is a smidge on the tight side as we are getting some essential maintenance and upgrades done on our house. Never fear! We have come up with some really fun and cheap days out for next week. We are blessed with so many things to do! Here are our top five free Fun Days Out in North County Dublin and some ideas if you have a bit of pocket money handy.
Bamboozled by Blogging
I've been blogging a month now! One whole month! Whoop Whoop Holla, Yayy me! Enough hooting my own horn, let me tell you that this has been one big old steep hill of a learning curve… curve? Mountain, no, try, about to erupt volcano! Gigantic slippery glacier! Am I being dramatic? I don't think so and I'm sure there are a hundred bloggers nodding their heads saying "Oh baby, yep you're right." But I've uncovered some blogging tips along the way which I'd like to share with you.

When would you start preparing for a disaster like Hurricane Matthew? When you are told to evacuate? When the weather starts to report it will hit in a few days? A week before when it's not sure? It doesn't matter, just as long as you prepare!
One thing people most hate to lose is their identification papers and family photos. Whether a fire or flood, you will not regret having those gathered together and easily grabbed in an emergency. You can create a file box of those important documents like your insurance policies, mortgage and retirement accounts, your marriage license or passwords to your computer programs — ready to grab and go.
I would add my wedding photos, children's pictures and childhood photos to that, slipping them into large ziplock bags, the freezer kind that are thicker and stronger. That way, even if the box gets wet, the pictures will not.
You can also take pictures of those documents and pictures and upload them to the cloud so they will not be lost. Also take pictures of your home, it's furniture and possessions, cars and the exterior… so you have a "Before" record … just in case there is an "After."
If important documents and photos do get wet, you can always pop them in a zip lock bag and put them in a freezer to hold them in cryo-suspension until you can get them to a document restoration specialist. This will buy you time to restore them.
Many folks are sitting in traffic today because they dithered about leaving, couldn't get the family in the car or just waited too long. I have heard hotels are full for miles away, and shelters are filling up. It hasn't even hit and it's an emergency. Keep your gas tank full and let family and friends know where you are going… take your chargers and extra phone batteries and water, food, blankets and pets.
Water restorers will be waiting on the other side to help get your life back to normal. Praying for everyone to be safe!

Jenean Kim
She daydreamed of wearing her lime green sweatshirt, her knee-length, blue jean cutoffs, and her knee-high white socks that she had worn all summer, but shorts were not allowed at school, and for wearing a pair of overalls, she had already been sent to the office. Perfectly practical pants precipitated an appeal—practically a punishment—to the parent, from the principal. Preposterous, she thought. However, last summer, with her blue-jean cutoffs, and white knee high socks, just the caps of her knees showed—a compromise with the heat, and she had been able to do anything her heart desired—comfortable and free to move. It had been almost perfect.

Real estate transactions in the Dominican Republic are governed by Property Registry Law No. 108-05 and its Regulations, in force since April 4, 2007. Ownership of property is documented by "Certificates of Title" issued by Title Registry Offices.
Steps Involved in a Real Estate Transaction
" Preliminary Steps: Real estate purchases in the Dominican Republic do not usually follow the North American pattern of a written offer tendered by the buyer to the seller, followed by the seller=s written acceptance. Instead, after verbal agreement is reached by the buyer and seller on the price, a binding Promise of Sale is prepared by an attorney (solicitor) or notary public which is signed by both parties. (Notaries in the Dominican Republic are required to have a law degree.)
Because of certain peculiarities of Dominican Real Estate Law, it is recommended that the prospective buyer retain a real estate attorney (solicitor) before signing any documents or making a deposit. Depending on the wishes of the parties, the attorney (solicitor) may proceed with the due diligence first, before preparing the Promise of Sale, or alternatively, prepare the Promise of Sale first, conditioning the purchase to the results of the due diligence to be done in a specified term.
" Promise of Sale: This is a formal document, binding on both parties, and signed by them in the presence of a Notary Public. From a practical point of view, it is more important than the Deed of Sale, since it generally contains a complete and detailed description of the entire transaction up to the time when the purchase price has been paid in full and the property is ready to be conveyed to the buyer. A well-drafted Promise of Sale should contain at least the following provisions:
(a) Full name and particulars of the parties. If the seller is married, the spouse must also sign. (b) Legal description of the property to be purchased. (c) Purchase price and payment terms. (d) Default clause. (e) Date of delivery of the property. (f) Due diligence required or done. (g) Representations by the seller and remedies in case of misrepresentation. (h) Obligation by seller of signing the Deed of Sale upon receipt of final payment.
Many attorneys (solicitors) and notaries in the Dominican Republic do not protect the buyer adequately in the Promise of Sale. Among the most common deficiencies are the following:
(a) The buyer is allowed to pay a large percentage of the price of sale without any security or direct interest over the property. In case of misuse of these funds, the buyer's remedies may be limited to suing the seller personally. Many condo buyers in Santo Domingo have suffered through this experience in the last few years. Generally, the developer uses the buyers' funds, along with a bank loan, to finance the construction. The bank collaterizes the loan with a...

It's the holidays. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, individuals around the world give thanks for special people, things, or forces in their lives that deserve a word of thanks.
From notes of gratitude to Thanksgiving prayers to Hanukkah and Christmas gifts to moments of silent reflection, 'tis the season to ask, "What are you most thankful for?"
We all have an answer to that question...but how would young people answer it? Some people think teenagers or college students are too self-absorbed to truly have a meaningful response to the question of gratitude.
They couldn't be more wrong.
Below is a collection of the StageofLife.com essays from high school and college students as they answered the monthly writing contest question..."What are you most thankful for?"
Over 3,550 students visited the writing contest page and high school and college students poured in submissions about their lives as they talked about the things for which they are most grateful. We've written a summary of our findings that share general observations and themes from the student writing contest submissions. You'll find that summary further down this page - it was also submitted as our monthly press release via PRNewswire.
Immediately below, however, we've featured the winning essay, our semi-finalists and some of the other essays featuring real, honest and in many cases raw personal experiences from teens and college students as they speak about the things, people and forces in their lives for which they are the most thankful.
Please take a few moments to read an essay or two.
If you have the time, make a comment on the essays you enjoyed the most. We know the student writers will love hearing your positive input (they'll get an email notifying them if you comment on their contest entry).

College Essay Finalists:
Other Essays (in no particular order):
Last Words: We could not list all of the student essays submitted, but we thank everyone that participated in the student writing contest. To enter the current Stage of Life monthly writing contest for high school students and college students...
"There are a lot of things I'm thankful for. I'm grateful to have a lovely wife who supports me and makes my life warm and more meaningful. I'm thankful for real food that is cooked in a real kitchen, running water, a real shower, and a comfortable bed at night. These things I used to take for granted... It is hard to imagine a world without these simple pleasures. For most of us we see a lot of these things as necessities. Yet the places I've been to in Iraq and Afghanistan, I didn't always get these things, and I witnessed other people who didn't have it as good as we do here. The sad truth of our society is, we don't realize how good it really is, unless we step away from it into a different world.
"Although I'm thankful for these things, there is nothing I am more grateful for than the solitude I feel as I write this (essay). Each morning I have the freedom to wake up and drive to this college. Every morning I get here early, so that I can find a quiet spot in the library where I can challenge and expand my mind in ways other than the ways of war. Here I can sit and read such things as literature or philosophy, and I am able to ponder the ideas of the scholars before me. I am no longer expected to be a warrior. And I am not so sure now what exactly I am called to be from now on, but for now I'll sit here quietly, soaking up the serenity."

Set up by the Premier League, The FA and the Government in 2000, the Football Foundation has delivered £1.5bn of community sports projects in that time, including the development of 700 all-weather pitches, 1,000 changing pavilions and 3,000 natural grass pitches.
Jamie Foale, MyLocalPitch CEO, said: "Winchmore Hill Sports Club and Barnet Lane 3G has some of the best football facilities around and we're thrilled to be working together.
"The Football Foundation has made huge strides transforming the landscape of community football and delivering a digital solution using our platform will make access better for footballers all over the country."

This is the most important step for any video. This is how we stay on schedule, on budget, and deliver your creative vision.
What happens in Pre-Production?
Ignoring this level of detail is like putting together a Where's Waldo jigsaw puzzle that is missing the Waldo piece. What's the point?
Taking the schedule, the storyboards, the budget and turning it into those pictures in your head.
We could break this down, but that is what pre-production is for.
When you do that properly there is really only one thing that happens here.
This is where it all comes together.
This is where you put that Waldo piece in its proper spot.

TheatreWorks gathered a fine cast to give this production of "Proof" an intimate feeling of reference to what could be a perplexing subject-theoretical mathematics, humor and romance.
The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning drama "Proof" by David Auburn has a mix of pathos, humor and wonder, which keeps the well done edginess of this dramatic piece. Leslie Martinson directs with a sensitivity and warmth that keeps attention and interest with a string of humor throughout the piece.
The story takes place in Chicago and centers around Catherine (Michelle Beck) who has dropped out of college for the past five years to take the responsibility for the care of her once brilliant renowned mathematician fathe, (L. Peter Callender.) She cut herself off from socializing and dedicated herself to taking care of him as he fell deeper into unreality and senility. He has just died, and we flash back and forth throughout the play to see what has brought her to this thin line nearing a breakdown and the choices she must make for her future.
Her controlling sister Claire (Ashley Bryant) arrives from New York to take over arranging the funeral and tries to push Catherine into decisions she is not ready to make. Hal (Lance Gardner) a former mentored student of Catherine's father, completes this fine cast. He adds to her confusion by romancing her and then showing a lack of trust where it is needed most.
Annie Smart's back porch set of the ramshackle house fits the moments of time with Noah Marin's costumes, Steven B. Mannshardt's lighting and sound by Gregory Robinson giving the comfortable set a realistic feel.

London 2012 Golden Girl Jade Jones To Defend Olympic Taekwondo Crown In Rio
London 2012 golden girl Jade Jones has been officially selected by Team GB to defend her Olympics title in Rio in August.
Jones burst onto the world sporting scene in London four years ago as a 19-year-old when the Flint martial arts ace became Great Britain's youngest gold medallist of the home Games in the -57kg section.
The 23-year-old has become the 14th Welsh sports star to be officially selected for Rio joining triathlon duo Helen Jenkins and Non Stanford, sailors Chris Grube and Hannah Mills, shooter Elena Allen, swimming quartet Jazz Carlin, Chloe Tutton, Ieuan Lloyd and Georgia Davies, rowing pair Graeme Thomas and Chris Bartley, boxer Joe Cordina and judoka Natalie Powell.

You've heard it said that, "Perfection is a myth." Yet, math can be perfect. Perhaps time, too. At least the numerical measurement of time at a specific point on the space time continuum.
From what I can tell, perfect has a definition that extends from not-perfect to perfectly acceptable to perfect. So, even a definition of perfect isn't really perfect. What about Apple's iPhone X? Perfect? Someone thinks the screen is "visually indistinguishable from perfect."
Nearly Perfect
Allow me to start with an analysis of such perfection with iPhone X's new OLED display. DisplayMate, a company that measures such things, says this about iPhone X's display:
It has an Absolute Color Accuracy of 1.0 JNCD for the sRGB / Red.709 Color Gamut that is used for most current consumer content, and 0.9 JNCD for the Wider DCI-P3 Color Gamut that is used for 4K UHD TVs and Digital Cinema. It is the most color accurate display that we have ever measured. It is Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.
Is it perfect? Somebody's math and standards say it is. Or, at least, it's indistinguishable from whatever we think perfect might be.
Allow me to continue on this road to analysis of perfection by pointing out the steady iterative improvements Apple has made to iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, and even Apple TV 4K. Virtually every component and feature reveals a step above previous standards– all on the way to some kind of measurable perfection.
I have a new 4K HDR television coupled to Apple's new Apple TV 4k which also handles 4K HDR video. If you thought that moving from a tube television to 1080p LCD flatscreen was a leap, or moving from an iPhone 5s to iPhone X screen was a leap, wait until you see your favorite movie stars on 4K HDR television.
Perfectly awful. Awfully human. The near perfection of a 4K HDR screen with 4K HDR video tells me we are well on our way toward whatever it is that is "Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect" but we may not like what we see. Prepare to be amazed by your disappointment. No, you won't be disappointed in how good those new 4K HDR videos look on a new 4K HDR television, but you might be amazed at how bad everyone else looks because flaws are not a part of perfection, yet as we near whatever is visually perfect we see more flaws.
It is not difficult to extrapolate a decade or two into the future when everything we take for granted in our techno-gadgets has improved by an order of magnitude or more. The Apple Door Lock that keeps people out of our homes will recognize us and unlock the door as we reach for the knob. The Apple Car we drive will drive us and unlock the door as we step toward the car– perfectly recognizing us with impeccable accuracy.
My iPhone X's battery lasts almost two days– a day longer than expected– because I turn on the Battery setting's Low Power Mode and use a black wallpaper. Why? The Apple-designed A11 Bionic CPU is so powerful that I can't tell much of a difference with normal vs. low power mode.
We are inching toward a perfection in Apple products and components that is becoming more difficult to measure in standard terms. Audio recorded on iPhone, iPad, and Mac is of such quality that our ears cannot hear all the sound available. In a few years will we be able to even see a pixel on a screen? Will the cameras and screens be so good that plastic surgery becomes a requirement to enter adulthood? For all of our human warts and blemishes we strive toward perfection and here and there we're achieving a perfection that merely shows off our imperfections.
There are times when I want Apple to push the envelope faster, to upgrade products on a more frequent basis, to create the very best technology gadgets in any category, and we may lament the company's deliberate slow walk of high tech here and there, one thing is certain. My face does not look as good on my iPhone X as it did on my original iPhone screen circa 2007. These almost perfect products are making a mockery of their rather imperfect creators. What happens when Siri becomes perfect software with knowledge of everything and wisdom to match, and decides– after visiting with female persona friends Alexa, Cortana, and Google Assistant (stupidly imperfect name)– that humanity can only be made perfect by not being in existence?
What a perfect end.

Hitachi India Pvt. Ltd. and Hitachi, Ltd. announced that they have developed a technology to extract precisely designated information from electronic medical records with International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad ("IIIT-H"). To apply the technology makes it possible to analyze electronic medical records including various mixed-forms such as free-form texts written by doctors or laboratory data written in given formats. It is expected that more advanced medical services will be realized by that, such as prediction of the incidence rates of disease in the future.
Hitachi India, Hitachi and IIIT-H won 1st prize with an extraction precision of 86.8% in CLEF e- Health 2014 Task2, a technical competition on medical information extraction, which was held by a European Research Forum CLEF from Jan. to May 2014. The technology will be presented at CLEF Conference 2014 in UK from 15th to 18th Sep. 2014.
To predict the incidence rates of disease, it is necessary to analyze medical record texts such as doctors' remarks as well as the input information in the given format such as blood test results. Many research institutes have been developing the technology to extract necessary information because the medical record texts are written in different ways by doctors.
Ichiro Iino, Managing Director, Hitachi India Pvt. Ltd. said, "We are proud that we won 1st prize in this competition. Hitachi India, Hitachi and IIIT-H have collectively worked as a strong team to achieve this technological innovation. We firmly believe that it would help build a sustainable society with reduced health risk. We are honoured to achieve this mark, which will act as a catalyst."
This competition has been held since 2013 aiming at enabling patients to easily read medical records containing many medical terms, and it is divided into 3 tasks based on the technical objectives. Ten research organizations including a team of Hitachi India, Hitachi and IIIT-H, participated in Task2, which competes in the precision to extract information such as body location, severity, etc. of disease, from electronic medical records. The team won 1st prize with the precision of 86.8% in the competition. Features of the technology developed are as follows.
Prof. P.J. Narayanan, Director, International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad said, "We are delighted to achieve this breakthrough in association with Hitachi in the field of Technology and Healthcare. This Technology will help a great deal in prevention or reduction of disease risks. It was a learning experience to work with Hitachi, which shares the same passion for producing futuristic technology as we do. We hope to create such fruitful alliances in future too."

Harrisburg & Concord Parents, Here's some Tips To Help Increase Your Child's Focus!
Focusing on a task for any length of time isn't easy. Helping your child learn to Focus is a very important life skill. Here are some Ideas we use in our classes at Sun Martial Arts.
Set Age Appropriate Task: A lot of times children lose focus because the task is either too easy or too hard. Take a close look at the task and make sure it is age appropriate for your child.
Divide Big Projects Into Small Tasks: Big projects can overwhelm. Divide big task into smaller achievable successes. This will increase your child's confidence as they complete each smaller version of the bigger project. As confidence increases so will their focus.
Minimize Distractions: Children do not have the ability yet to block out distractions. So setting them up for success is important. Find an area for them to sit quietly and do homework and projects. At Sun Martial Arts, we teach our students how to perform with distractions. But this takes time, it doesn't happen overnight.
Teach How To Set Goals: Goals can be a great way to increase your child's ability to focus. When your child sets goals (with your guidance and rewards for reaching them) they can become a great motivator.
Use Praise, Correct, and Praise: At Sun Martial Arts, we use Praise, Correct, Praise, Some children have a hard time being corrected. Before you correct them praise them for doing something right. Then you correct the mistake and when you catch them doing it right praise them again. (The worst thing to do is miss it when they do it right and then correct them again for doing it wrong) We find that praise goes a long way with getting our students to strive for excellence.
Memory Games: Memory games are great for teaching concentration. We use a lot of these to get our students to focus. The ability to focus is like a muscle. With practice, a person can learn to focus for longer and longer.
Avoid Over-scheduling: Kids that are taking from one activity to another can feel overwhelmed. Be sure to allow for downtime. Their young minds and bodies need time to recover from an activity.
Let Your Child Know Ahead Of Time Before Changing Activities: When you want your child to switch focus from one activity to another, give a few minutes warning time. For example, if a child is playing a game but will need to begin practicing karate soon, give him a five-minute warning. The transition will be easier and your child will be able to refocus on the new task faster.
Set a Timer: I did this with my son. I play to beat the clock. He did not want to do his homework. So I set a stopwatch to show him that if he focused on doing his homework it took less time than complaining about it and then doing it.

Bobby's Girls
Much was said of the man at the funeral service for Bobby Frankel on Tuesday afternoon, at L.A.'s Hillside Memorial Park, hard by the 405 Freeway. At one end, Juddmonte Farm's Garrett O'Rourke described Frankel as "crusty" while at the other, Julio Canani said Bobby had "a heart from a puppy." No one stood to disagree with either sentiment. The 400 or so in attendance represented the thousands who were there in spirit, including the many who stepped up with fine internet tributes. One of the best was posted by former trainer and longtime Frankel disciple Jude Feld on his Racehorse Report site (http://www.racehorsereport.com/). It's worth a read.
If Frankel had a say, though, he would complain that there was not nearly enough mention of the horses who helped turn the kid from Brooklyn into a household name, as long as that household had a passion for good Thoroughbreds. It speaks to the great breadth and depth of his record that there are, quite literally, too many memorable Frankel stakes stars to enumerate. But of all Frankel's long list of remarkable runners, none of them pleased him more than his fillies. He could throw ferocious colts at the opposition year after year--Life Cycle, Mehmet, Al Mamoon, Marquetry, Empire Maker, Medaglia d'Oro, Ghostzapper and his beloved Exbourne, to cite only a few--but it was with his fillies that Frankel connected on a very personal level, and this he did not try to hide.
In arbitrary fashion and no particular order, I have chosen what I consider Frankel's top 10 fillies from a training career that spanned 43 years. Additions to the list are both expected welcomed. Here goes:
Intercontinental upset Ouija Board in a thriller of a Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. Megahertz was a pint-sized terror on the California grass. Keeper Hill gave Frankel his first classic in the 1998 Kentucky Oaks, while Possibly Perfect was his first filly champion, in 1995. Somehow, Frankel and his crew tamed the tempestuous Toussaud to win several big ones, which also got them ready to handle her equally headstrong daughter, Honest Lady. Bobby won just about any race he wanted to in New York with Sightseek and champion Ginger Punch. And even though Breeders' Cup winner Ventura was his darling diva at the end, Frankel's all-time heartthrob was Flute, and not just because she won the Kentucky Oaks and the Alabama. That's Flute with Bobby after the 'Bama, eight years ago.

On the 19th of November, it's 'Evaluate Your Life' day. Are you where you want to be? If you're looking into protecting your home or business, family or staff, perhaps our security services can help!
Here at Alpha 1, we understand that sometimes you go through life feeling unsure about what it is you want to do. Occasionally, it may feel as though you're in the wrong career, and are desperate to change but are indecisive about what to actually do. Have you ever thought about being qualified to work within the security sector? If so, did you know that Alpha 1 are offering a wide variety of security courses?
There is a consistently high demand for security services in the UK, and we will always be needed. Working within this industry promises an interesting career where no two days are the same, no matter which area you choose to specialise in. It's ever expanding and there is a wealth of opportunity involved within this career path. There is a constant need for security services, and if we are to consider the current demands of society, this need is only set to increase.
There are currently 182,626 people employed within security service based roles in the UK, and it is estimated that this rises by 3% every year, with 34.5% of these people being in London and the South East, so it's far from a dying trade.
Security service roles are far from unskilled professions as it was once regarded; there used to be a stigma attached to working as a door supervisor or a security guard. Now, aspiring security workers must undergo a series of SIA approved courses and exams, as well as prove that they are competent and able to stay in control of difficult situations. The life of a security guard is a lot different to how people on the outside looking in see it.
Unlike the majority fields of work nowadays, it's not essential that you have decades of experience or an honours degree in Security; as long as you undertake the appropriate training and pass successfully, you'll be considered.
It's unsurprising to hear that women now work with the security service within the UK, and 17% of them work in managerial roles within this sector. It's a very diverse area of work, with no discrimination with regards to levels of English language and gender.
Alpha 1 works within every element of the Security service within the UK, and we offer courses to help you get ready for the high demands of a Security career. Evaluate your life and join Alpha 1 today.

I haven't been blogging very long, so I might fall under the 'new' label. Here is my advice anyway…
1.) Post what you enjoy. Don't write what you think other people want to read. Write about what you want to write about. There are people who are interested in hearing what is in your heart.
2.) Don't worry about the 'stats' They are fun to watch, but they aren't accurate. How do I know that? There are days that I receive more 'likes' (from different people), than I have views on my site. :O
3.) Don't pressure yourself to write a certain amount of times a week/month. Just write when you have words that need to come out of your head – and enjoy it.
That's all I have for now.
Have a great day and keep blogging.
