CORTLAND, N.Y. - This week's State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Q&A is with the Men's Ice Hockey Rookie of the Week, Andrew Husted (Niagara Falls, NY/Grand Island).
Buffalo State's Andrew Husted was named the SUNYAC Men's Ice Hockey Rookie of the Week after leading the Bengals to a win and a tie over nationally-ranked Fredonia this past weekend.
The freshman electrical engineering major scored three goals in a win and a tie against No. 14/15 Fredonia. Husted scored twice including the game-tying goal with just six seconds remaining in regulation in a 4-4 tie at Fredonia on Saturday, and then sealed Saturday's 3-1 home victory with an empty-netter for his eighth goal of the season.
Husted leads all SUNYAC rookies with eight goals this season.
Andrew Husted
Sport: Men's Ice Hockey
Position: Forward
Year: Fr.
Major: Electrical engineering
1. Which professional athlete do you have the most respect for?
Daniel Briere, former Buffalo Sabre who wore number 48. I have much respect for him mainly because of his work ethic. Being a smaller player, under 6 ft., he was always one of the hardest working guys on the ice. He may have lacked size, however he never lacked heart, and for this he is recognized as one of the top Stanely Cup Playoff performers of all time.
2. What's your competition day meal?
My pre-game meal normally consists of chicken and rice, on occasion some type of pasta.
3. What age did you start competing in your sport?
Started competing around age 3 or 4.
4. Do you have a hidden or special talent?
High key very good at keep up with a soccer ball, was the raining suer ball champion until last weekend a teammate knocked me out in a championship game.
5. What is your career goal post college?
Pursue a professional career in hockey, or end up with a very promising career pertaining to my major, Electrical engineering.
6. What's on your music playlist?
When it comes to music I am not particularly picky, I listen to all genres dependent of my mood. Recently country music has grown on me a lot and is now my go to.
7. Do you have any pre-competition rituals?
Not very superstitious before games, I just try to stay relaxed and not get to overly excited/anxious.
8. What's the best advice anyone has given you?
"Don't let anyone take away from your confidence, play your game and have fun out there. Only you know what you're capable of. " Best advice from my step-father Carl Amato.
9. What are your hobbies outside of your sport?
If rest and sleeping count as hobbies that would most likely be it! However I really enjoy getting together with all my buddies when I have free time. I enjoy playing pickup sports, video games on occasion.
10. What's your favorite memory since competing for your institution?
It's almost impossible to choose a favorite memory, I've had a lot of great memories thus far with my teammates/brothers on and off the ice so its hard to say. However one of the best feelings is the moral in the locker room with all the guys after a win.

Lexi's Senior Checks discovery
Meet Lexi, a beautiful 11-year-old Labradoodle who visited us recently for her 6 monthly Seniors Check. She appeared to be in good health other then her owner noting she had been eating a bit less and had begun slowing down a bit in her old age.
At our Seniors Check your pet gets a full health examination. This includes a full history of physical or behavioural changes, a physical examination, as well as diagnostic tests should you choose these. Veterinarians do a full hands on physical examination to feel for or see any abnormalities. They also recommend diagnostics tests such as blood and urine tests to see what is going on internally with your pet, things that we cannot see from a physical examination alone.
Lexi and her mom were met by Dr Andrea and taken into a consultation room. After a chat about Lexi's recent history and lots of treats Dr Andrea got started on the physical examination. As mentioned, Lexi's Mom hadn't noticed anything too abnormal with her behaviour. She had been eating a bit less and had slowed down but was also 11 years old. As Dr Andrea palpated Lexi's abdomen, she felt what she thought was an enlargement or mass of some kind. She couldn't determine where it was exactly but was definitely abnormal. It was decided in order to find out more, a blood test would be sent away to the laboratory.
The following day Lexi's results were back and unfortunately Dr Andrea had been correct. The indicators for liver disease were increased in Lexi's blood results. She was booked in the following day for an abdominal ultrasound with Dr Sue Ramoo to try and get to the root of the problem and see what could be done for Lexi.
Lexi's ultrasound revealed that the abnormality Dr Andrea had felt was a mass on her liver. Luckily for her it could be removed. She was referred to Centre for Animal Referral and Emergency (CARE) to have the mass removed and we were left to wait for the results.
Once the tumor was removed it was sent to the laboratory in order to determine what it was. A few weeks later we received that great news! Lexi's tumor was a benign mass. Not only was it benign but also it had been completely removed! We couldn't be happier for Lexi and her Mom about this outcome.
By getting your pet checked regularly we can help to keep them healthy and hopefully living a long and happy life!

Can Filipinos who come to the UK using a tourist visa apply for work? If ever an employer offers a Filipino tourist a job, can he accept it? Can he stay and work then? Can he apply for a British work permit?
No, a Filipino tourist cannot work in UK using a tourist visa. In addition, all tourists on a tourist visa is not allowed to change the visa type they used to enter the UK inside UK. The change must be done outside the country. After the expiration of the visa, then tourist must go outside the country and apply for a different type of visa.
Even if there is an employer or a job offered, tourist must not accept the offer and work as a domestic helper. This is illegal and could cause big trouble for parties involved. Penalties may include blacklisting from UK, deportation and fines as well as jail time and others.
Application for a British work permit must be done outside of UK. The application must also be after the expiration of the current visa used.
As of 2012, immigration rules for domestic helpers are also amended and changed. Domestic helpers are also not allowed to work for employers that are permanent residents of UK and cannot stay on the country for more than 6 months. If ever the employer is an EEA national, the residence of the employer must not be in UK and employer must not have an intention to stay for more than 6 months. However if the employer is a foreign national, employer must be staying in the UK as a tourist.
Domestic workers who have traveled to the UK with their employer or any relative of their employer must not stay in UK for more than 6 months or must exit UK with their employer or companion. They must also be able to provide proof that they are working for their employer from another country. This can be done by using pay slips, contracts or any document or visa. They must also show that they are receiving an amount amounting to or more than the designated national minimum wage as set by the UK laws and must be able to provide proof that their employer will take responsibility for them and their food and shelter at the time they are in UK.
There are exceptions to these rules, but they are very few and far in between and only at the discretion of the UK government and UK Immigration office.

Snack Review
Taste test: As Smartfood has expanded from their original White Cheddar Popcorn, they've added a number of new flavors. This was the first one that combined two kinds of popcorn in the same bag. When I opened the bag, every kernel that I could see from the top, save for just a lone piece of caramel corn, was coated with cheddar. The kernels were fairly big and largely round. The cheddar ones were of the bright orange variety, not the white cheddar of original Smartfood.
I poured a whole bunch of them into a bowl — it ended up with three caramel ones and about 30 cheddar ones — and crunched in to find that there was a lot of cheddar but a somewhat mushy feel, not a crisp one. The caramel ones were better, with a nice light crunch from the caramel coating and a crisp, light feel inside, plus they tasted great, with a very buttery caramel flavor. As we got farther into the bag, the balance of caramel to cheddar did even out a bit, yet there were still many more cheddar ones than caramel. But tastewise, one caramel corn out of every handful turned out to be a nice balance to the cheddar. Very good!
Shop: Buy Smartfood on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Mostly cheddar, quite nice.
From the package: "America's favorite popcorn brand" ... "When Smartfood® launched in 1985, it was with one very smart idea: Create great tasting popcorn with quality ingredients. You can taste a passion for popcorn in all the delicious varieties of Smartfood® created since."

Here Goes Nothing
Here goes nothing:
Here it is, my first official blog post. I've been crafting this site for months anticipating my official launch. I wanted to be sure that I properly portrayed my level of creativity and professionalism. I admit to being a little (LOT) too critical of my own work. I wanted everything to be 'perfect' – whatever that is. However, it's simply time to push 'the button'.
With that being said, forgive my typos, lack of information or material. Overlook my wrongs as I try to get it right – this is it!! If you're reading this, you're officially attending my ribbon cutting ceremony. I'm looking forward to great things, especially working with you.
Please keep me in mind for your upcoming photo/video needs and creative projects… and as always: Live Your Love.

|Ahhh, got to love Fridays. I thought I'd share one of my long time favorite designer's vacation home. Ruthie Sommers always delights with her off-beat, but chicly designed spaces. This California "bungalow" blends new and vintage elements beautifully. It makes me want to pack up my bags and head north for the weekend.
I apologize for the light posts this week. I've been having a computer issue. I made the mistake of downloading the most recent MAC software. It somehow wiped out my design programs (photoshop and indesign). Off to the Genius Bar I go….Grrrrrr

I apologise for keeping you all in the dark for the last few weeks. I bet you have all been anxiously awaiting my first instalment of Bunny Hops the second year [yeah right!]. In defence I can only but blame my own laziness and the fact that these rounds seem awfully close to one another this year
Before I begin my serenade of BPCup flying 2006, I want to quickly introduce those who have not read my renditions before to me. I entered the British Paragliding Cup for the first time in 2005 to expand my flying experience, meet new people and to get to know different flying sites. As a novice with only a 100 or so hours under my belt, I aimed to tell an honest tale of what it is like to start flying competitions, and the lessons I learn every time I fly a task. All you need to enter the BPC is a pilot rating. Thats It. Yes you can fly a DHV 1-2 glider. I do! I hope to thereby encourage more people, especially those in the Wessex, to enter this magical world to show that it is not just winning-hungry, competitive qumquats with a death-wish, flying what could easily pass for tissue paper, that could gain a hell of a lot from competition-flying.
I try not to dwell too much on the rules of competition flying and what, for instance, a start cylinder is etc, however you can read all about that on the BPC website if youre interested in those details.
In one year only my flying skills have improved immensely, however I still make fundamental, beginner mistakes. I assume everyone who fly at some point or another make a decision that puts them on the ground, whether it be after 10km, 30 or 200 thats what makes this sport so frustrating, and so rewarding. We all seem to forever be learning. Within those parameters, with each flight we learn something that will allow us to stay in the air for that little while longer next time. Put 60 paragliding pilots together in a bar after a competition task comparing those mistakes, and youve got a pretty good sounding board. Ive also improved on my navigation in the air, thermalling and how to use my GPS properly. It all makes me feel a lot less nervous when faced with a day that is forecast to be good. Now, I can allow myself to take off and go enjoy the flight, knowing the preparation is done and I know where Im going and what my aim is. I have a plan...
Nough about that.
First round of the BPC 2006 was to be held in the Yorkshire Dales. It was a four-day competition and FAI Category 2 rated. That meant competitors would score towards toward their FAI World Rankings by competing which also meant that a fair few British Nationals pilots joined us for this comp great to fly with, when you can keep up with them, or rather, when they choose to join you for a bit. To enter an FAI Cat. 2 competition one needs an FAI Sporting License. How do you obtain one? You send the BHPA a cheque for a tenner and a mugshot of yourself. Its that easy.
Shockingly for everyone it was a beautiful morning the first morning of the comp. I put it that way, because one usually gets a few days to just catch up with yer mates before doing any real flying. That was not to be and we were sent to continue our chin-wagging a hill called Green Bell. We parked at the bottom of a huge green hill, not one of us thinking wed have to walk up most of it! That was the second shock of the day. A 30 minute hike up a hill with three blind summits an easy way to kill the enthusiasm of any pilot. I had forgotten how lucky we are in the south with only a few small walk-ups. Here in the Dales, paragliding involves exercise and a lot of it!
We arrived at a very tight bowl, which looked about big enough for three gliders to fly in comfortably. The wind was coming over one of the spurs and thereby making the flying quite rough with a small lift band. I was not enthused. It was also a northerly wind, and therefore absolutely freezing like flying in mid-winter. No wonder the locals were saying that they hadnt flown since last October! This was a day for high performance wings and perseverance. I made the decision not to fly due to the conditions, however I had forgotten that I therefore scored a round 0 for the day, as opposed to, if I had just switched on my GPS and took off once I would have scored what is called minimum distance points. Ill come back to scoring when I one day figure it out myself. Ill read up on it later Two people made it to goal that day. Most landed just outside the start cylinder on a glide down to the bottom landing.
Day two met us with another glorious sunshiny smile. The wind was still in a northerly direction and once again it looked like we were going to fly. However, turning up on launch a drive up this time an icy gale met our faces as we ventured out of the cars. We were very quick to all squish back into the relative warmth of the vehicles and await a rebriefing. We were at Dodd Fell, just above the village of Hawes, where we eventually spent a few hours respite for a wander and a cup of tea. We returned to the hill at 2:30pm, at which time the wind had sufficiently died down. I was determined to get into the air today for a fly, and got my kit ready whilst we waited for the task briefing. It was a 30.4km task (I think) to a place called Gargrave almost due south from where we were. The danger was that the sea breeze would come through and spoil our flights, so everyone was keen to get going. I took off at 4pm, 30 minutes after the window opened. I did a few beats and flew straight into a strong thermal, but it also soon became clear that there was a lot more wind further up than on the ground. So, what to do in nice thermic conditions when youre pinned? Find a good thermal, and go with it no point in hanging around!
I climbed out with quite a few experienced guys, but was thrown off completely when they all decided to go back to the hill. The thermal was still strong and I was fairly certain it would take me all the way to cloud base. I also knew I would not be able to penetrate back to the hill in the strong wind. So I stuck with it. It soon became obvious that the sea breeze was coming in strong, and a big curtain cloud was forming down the line of our flight. It was only when I looked at my vario that I realised base was at 6500ft. No wonder I was freezing!! The curtain cloud was about 1 500 2000ft deep and we soon found ourselves flying through wisps as it blew across our path. It was probably one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen on any flight. We had covered the ground towards goal quite quickly, but about 10km out the lift got patchy. I was so cold that I had stopped concentrating properly, and was blindly following a fellow paraglider around. Stupidly, I ventured into the lee of a hill and was soon decked for my mistake, watching whom I thought, was the rest of the field glide off to goal. I had landed at 24.4km - 5km short!
To add to it, I had landed 2 miles from the nearest road and therefore had to walk out. I finally made it to the pub at goal and was met by 20 very happy pilots, 5 of whom had made goal. Two hours later, and several pints later, we were rescued by the retrieve bus, to compare flights over BBQ fires and lots of wine. Everyone bar 2 people left the hill that day. Certainly good fun!
Day three was a lesson in not-giving-up-when-the day-looks-like-it-had-ended and to never-leave-a-flyable-hill-even-if-it-is-a-further-2km-walk-up-a-hill. We walked up, rather scrambled up this steep east-facing ridge called Whernside. It looked like another lovely day for XC flying, and most of us were ready to better on our flights from the previous day. However, just after we had our task briefing, the wind switched to the SW and was coming over the back. The first 40 minutes everyone just stood and watched the wind. Three thermals came through and with each, one paraglider left the hill. The rest of us were stranded. I was in a group who were contemplating walking further up the hill to take off. There was one part of the hill that was actually facing the right wind direction, but we were 1. prohibited from climbing over a ridge-length dry-stone wall and 2. there was a rule issue. Basically a 2km start cylinder had been set around take-off which meant that we HAD to take off within this area. The face into wind was apparently just outside this cylinder, and we were unsure whether the part on this side of the dry-stone wall would be sufficiently flyable to scoot over the dry-stone wall and go flying. The day was also fast becoming overcast. It looked like rain wasnt far off.
This and the fact that I was really tired from all the walking in previous days, I decided not to go up with them and rather walk to the bottom edge of the ridge and fly down for a bottom landing. Those four who did walk up, ended up being able to just about ridge-soar their way almost to goal. I learnt a big lesson that day stop whingeing and get to the flyable face, you never know!!!
That was the end of the flying for the Dales round. Monday greeted us with rain and low cloud. I packed my sodden tent and headed home, pleased with what I had achieved and what I had learnt.
BPC Round 2
We returned to Betws-y-coed this year relatively reluctantly as the weather forecast wasnt great. In fact about half the field decided not to even bother turning up! Dave and I decided to go anyway, as it was still a weekend away, and since we had the van, we would certainly be dry and cosy nevertheless.
Saturday mornings briefing at the campsite was wet. Very wet. We decided to have another look at midday at which time the clouds had certainly lifted a tad and it had stopped raining. We were sent to a coastal site akin to White Horse in as much as a coastal plain hitting a ridge, and with sufficient land in between to make it thermic. The sea breeze had pushed the muck inland and a nice breeze was blowing onto the hill. For a change, we walked down to take off.
A task was set, but it was made much more difficult by the fact that we would be skimming airspace for most of the way. This called for some serious map consultation to decide on a route along it. Entering airspace whilst flying in a competition task amounts to immediate disqualification except when it is breached whilst on a final glide to landing if a suitable, and safe landing could not be found outside it.
Conditions on launch were quite rotary as we were taking off behind a dry-stone wall. The wind had also switched around further to the south, making it more difficult to soar. Turnpoint 1 was now diagonally into wind. I was again unsure about the conditions but decided to go for a fly anyway. However, I had not brought enough water with me, and I had forgotten my lunch. I also only had 4 hours sleep the night before, all of which which made me feel tired, hungry and dehydrated. Not a good way to feel when you are trying to achieve something. Several pilots had already disappeared over the back and into the muck. After an uneventful take-off I realised that turnpoint 1 was also under cloud. Given how I was feeling I therefore decided to not try and go over back but to enjoy the sunshine. I bottom landed after about 45 minutes when it became even more windy and horrible. The task winner won with 6.9km. No one made the turnpoint, and the task scored low. However, everyone had a delightful flight and enjoyed themselves immensely.
Sunday dawned perfect and we were looking forward to another days flying. We were sent to The Glyders, an immense-looking face around the corner of Snowdon. We were hoping for a triangle task in the light winds, but already some amazing wave was showing all around us. After about an hour on the site, it became more overcast and the wave became more pronounced. We ended up behind another dry-stone wall hiding from the wind and the rain. In the end and the day was cancelled and we headed back to base for a pint before splitting into our various directions.
Overall BPC results are available on www.bpcup.co.uk. Currently I am 24th and top bird (which doesnt actually account for much as there were three competing in round 1 and 1 in round 2)

N.B. None of the images in this article are original, apart from the one of my books- if you want to find them, and more about them, they are all pinned to my Pinterest board, Home Decor Inspiration.
I love a dark, moody, dramatic interior. I love a bright, white, Scandinavian-inspired interior. I love a boho, eclectic, maximalist and colourful interior. I like vintage mid-century modern. I like Rococco glam and Neo-Gothic vintage. I like French-inspired shabby-chic charm. I like the industrial, loft/ warehouse sparse and masculine look. I like feminine drapes and fairy lights, dorm-room style.
What I'm trying to convey here is that I suffer from Multiple Personality Decor Disorder (no, it's not an actual disorder). I have taken those online tests a few times which supposedly determine your decorating style, and I can achieve a different result each time. I just have an unending love of interiors of all kinds (it's not good when on Pinterest – I can literally get lost in an hours-long spiral if I'm not careful). My Pinterest board is full of designs I love, and I think the only thing they have in common is tidiness and a certain amount of symmetry. Other than that, it probably looks like several different people post to the board depending on which mood I'm in. (I now have an image of my different decorating personalities each having a turn, Inside Out style!)
This poses a problem: I am about to sell my flat and move, and I am having huge decision paralysis as to my preferred style of décor for the new place. White, bright and light or jewel-toned, cave-like and glam? Stripped back and industrial or warm and cosily cluttered? Hippy chic? Maybe one of each in every room haha.
Suddenly having to narrow this decision down instead of wanting and pinning ALL THE THINGS is proving impossible. I'm trying to decide which style is 'speaking to me' and the problem is they ALL are. And I prefer different ones each day. (What I really need is about five properties so I can decorate each one differently – maybe one day!) I have voices in my head arguing over paint colours. I think I've made up my mind, only to see a new pin of the opposite style then I'm flowing back to the River of Indecision again.
In my current flat this has resulted in two things; a lack of a truly cohesive style, so a rather disjointed look, coupled with a constant urge to rearrange. (Lack of a budget has also contributed fairly heavily – it's easier to get a look you want if you can afford to pay for it.) The rearranging has in fact driven my parents/ friends/ partners/ child respectively up the multicoloured walls, when, after each rearrange, I declare that This Is It, I have found The One…only to change my mind again two months later. I can't deny that I find it immense fun and very soothing but it certainly can be frustrating.
STORYTIME: I apparently inherited this trait from my maternal grandmother. I have heard several stories about my grandfather, a man who enjoyed a tipple, returning home rather worse-for-wear in the dead of night, and promptly waking up the household with a loud crash as he tried to navigate a room he thought he knew the layout of, followed by loud swearing and cries of "Flo! You've changed the bloody furniture again!" It was one of the main causes of their arguments.
I often wish I had gone down the interior designer route in my career, as perhaps then this would have allowed me to play around more with my myriad of different inspiration without getting dissatisfied with my own space every other month (although it might have made things worse – all that exposure to new design! Swoon!).
I have always loved collecting interiors magazine and home design books. In fact I have some interesting, 90s, very of-their-time Changing Rooms inspired books which are so much fun to flip through (and to cringe at as I realise that OMG I HAD THAT WALLPAPER WHAT WAS I THINKING). Pinterest is obviously a natural extension of this – but I do think it's part f the problem; there is such a wealth of inspiration out there that it makes choice too difficult. I can't be the only one with this problem.
It's almost like porn (actually it is porn haha – instant gratification, no commitment, lots of choice) in that it encourages you to constantly seek the new and different and making you less satisfied with what you have. I mean, actually, this is probably true of most social media but I'm not going to get all philosophical about that – it would make me a hypocrite considering I'm trying to make a living via this medium.
It can also be a depressant sometimes – when you realise the live-edge hardwood kitchen countertop which you think is so beautiful will forever be way beyond your price range, and that you'll always be playing 'make-do' instead.
I know all that, but I won't stop with the Pinning. Because I love it. Because there's always the promise of the Holy Grail, the One piece of inspiration which will blow all others out of the water.
In the meantime, I'm creating some fun memories and interesting pictures to look back on at least, with all the various looks I can try along the way. Watch this space (ha see what I did there)!

Toward a dynamic process model of entrepreneurial networking under uncertainty
Although research has begun to acknowledge the strategies by which entrepreneurs form and maintain network ties, most efforts to date present an incomplete picture of entrepreneurs as heroic network architects who search, plan, and pursue contact with targeted ties. Herein, we briefly review this nascent literature, argue that it has so far overlooked alternatives in favor of an overly planned and instrumental perspective, and consider the implications of incorporating the notion of uncertainty into investigations of how entrepreneurs engage in networking. We therefore take a novel perspective on entrepreneurial networking and theorize about how entrepreneurs act when desired ties cannot be identified in advance, networking outcomes cannot be predicted, and ongoing social interactions fuel the emergence of new objectives. Overall, we add important insights to the literature, as we flesh out a dynamic networking process that unfolds alongside efforts to create a new venture. We then discuss how this model, which highlights distinctive elements such as altruism, pre-commitment, serendipity, and cocreation, can stimulate a broader research agenda focused on the inquiry of networking agency under uncertainty.

The decision on whether or not to revoke the present 'no detention' policy in primary schools has now been left to the discretion of the states. At a Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) meeting on Tuesday, Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar told the media: "It was agreed that the Central government may bring in suitable amendments which will give states the freedom to review the 'no detention policy.'"
Not rushing through yet another ill-considered policy reversal is indeed a good decision. Though it can be argued that against the overall dismal scenario in the education sector, the debate over the pass/fail system in primary schools seems to be somewhat hyped.
Examinations are, after all, just a small part of the larger and all-encompassing malaise destroying the fundamentals of the system as a whole. Amid this systemic failure – not just of public but also of private schools – the ongoing preoccupation with the contentious pass/fail system does seem lopsided.
Consider the long list of calamities that has corroded the school education system at all levels. Of late, more and more examination scams have been unearthed, and poor learning outcomes – that have so worried serious educationists for long – have shown little or no sign of reversal.
The fundamentals of school education seem weaker than ever; a concern that should be taken as seriously as, for instance, the state of the economy. Yet, education – particularly primary education – has never been a heated subject of discussion on the national agenda, except of course, on occasions when it is politicised through textbooks and the likes. The cost of such continued negligence cannot be underestimated.
Like the rest of the world, India too is moving towards a knowledge-based economy. One of the basic requirements for closing the inequality gap within the society is to provide decent school education to every citizen. Those failing to meet this requirement are going to find themselves pushed out of the ambit of well-paying jobs. Something that is already happening on a large scale in the country.
The quality of primary school education forms the foundation on which future educational qualifications are built. The alarm bells are already ringing, alerting us to the poor quality of primary education – and they have been ringing for a very long time now.
But if the politicians have been too busy scoring electoral victories and engaging in slapstick politics, the official policymakers too have done what they are doing once again – tinkering with the system and talking about piecemeal reforms. This time around, the churn is about bringing back the pass/fail model.
Yet, many among the pedagogists working in the field of education have expressed serious reservations about reinstating the policy, which, as we well know, had traumatised students in the past; particularly the first generation learners from lower economic and social backgrounds.
If large numbers of students have been failing in higher classes, or are not able to match up to the basic standards even in lower classes, that is because of the distortions in the classroom environment. After all, many among the instructors are themselves ill-equipped to teach. Flawed teachers' training (the eye of many scams), social indifference to the plight of school teachers, rampant use of ad hoc teachers in small towns and villages, etc. have all substantively contributed to a failing school system.
Rather than address these core issues, the entire focus seems to be veering to bring back the pass/fail model. No doubt, it's a catchy slogan, already pitting stakeholders against each other.
But the discussion around school education hasn't focussed on the fundamental concerns; issues that need to be addressed in a sustained manner. How will reinstating the pass/fail policy produce learners, when the entire system seems to be hollowing out?

How to Write a Killer Creative Brief
The ability to write an effective creative brief is a fundamental discipline in marketing. Great marketing only stems from a great brief. In other words, you only get out what you put in. As marketers, we need to be able to convey and express our thinking and ideas with eloquence and accuracy so we can bring others with us and ensure consistency in our marketing executions. Creative briefs are used extensively to communicate with and mobilise other members of the marketing team or business, as well as external agencies and partners who we need to align with, and work on our plans.
However, the skill of marketers to craft creative briefs that generate great outputs, i.e. campaigns that deliver impact, resonance, and results, has waned in recent times. Either they're too detailed and prescriptive, not allowing the recipients the scope to add meaningful input and value; or they're missing key elements and therefore lack the necessary insights or direction.
What is a creative brief?
A creative brief is a document that outlines requirements for a creative marketing project. Creative briefs can also be referred to as campaign briefs, marketing briefs or advertising briefs; these terms are often used interchangeably but generally mean the same thing.
How are creative briefs used?
Creative briefs are provided to agencies, partners, and stakeholders who need to work on a specific marketing project, campaign or program. It gives them the necessary direction and information to be able to generate assets, content or resources which will be delivered as part of that project, campaign or program. The creative brief sets their expectations, and gives them the parameters that have been defined so they can build the deliverables out accordingly.
How to write a creative brief
If you're going to do great marketing that gets results, you have to be able to deliver great briefs in the first place. Writing an effective creative brief is a disciplined process. You have to have the right approach if you're going to get the most out of it. This means focussing on the following aspects:
Give it time and focus
Many marketers rush writing creative briefs. They see it as a burden, as 'admin' or 'process' that they have to get through as quickly as possible. They therefore give it short shrift and don't provide adequate time, focus or attention to the exercise.
Rather, writing a creative brief is a necessity whenever you're looking to others to create assets, materials or content for your brand. By paying due consideration to the brief itself, as well as the wider briefing process, you're maximising the potential return in terms of quality, creativity, and results. Unless you give it sufficient time and focus, you're going to get responses that aren't aligned to your vision, don't impact or resonate with your desired audience, and lack inspiration and innovation.
Give your creative brief the effort that it deserves. That doesn't mean generating pages and pages - less in this case is more! Make every word count by concentrating on the key elements that you need to convey. It should be concise, clear, and consumable.
Do your research
It's important to do your homework. A strong creative brief is built on a sound foundation of knowledge and understanding derived from research of your audience, market, competitors, channels, and so forth. The context within which your marketing program or campaign will exist and operate will have a significant bearing on its success. Therefore, gaining as much background and intelligence as possible on the environment you're facing is crucial to feed into your brief and inform the creatives or planners who'll be responding to it.
Ideally this is something you've built up over time. One-off research is useful, but knowledge and insights that you've gained over a duration will reflect more sustained trends and influences that are relevant to your offering or brand.
Concentrate on the audience
Whatever the intended deliverable is from your brief, it will in some way communicate with, inform, educate, or engage your audience. As such, they are the start, middle, and end of the brief itself. Everything revolves around who you're looking to connect with, so building a comprehensive knowledge, insight, and understanding of your target customer is a must.
Although this is an obvious assertion, it's amazing how many companies and brands don't really know who their customer is and who they want to target. Often, they get blinded by the product - it's so good that it'll just sell itself; or drawn into the "it's for everyone" myopia. Audience research is therefore given lip-service, with rudimentary methodologies applied and a lack of real depth.
The success of your brief is dependent on your ability to give the creative / planning team sufficient knowledge and insight about your audience that they can put themselves in the audience's shoes to understand their motivations, behaviours, and decision processes. Only by doing so can they create work that will stimulate positive emotional responses and actions. Concentrating on the audience through all aspects of the creative brief will lead to a result that's more centred and attuned to their needs, sensibilities, and motivations.
The proposition is everything
On the back of audience understanding is your ability to articulate the value that you're delivering to them...your proposition. This is the crux of the campaign itself; to convince your audience why they should want to take up your offer - what's in it for them? The proposition is everything. Having a specific, clear, and resonant proposition runs through all great marketing. The proposition is therefore at the heart of the creative brief. All messaging starts with your proposition and the quality of your communication is dependent upon the efficacy of your proposition.
Don't do the creative's job
No-one's brilliant at everything, so you have to know when to use additional resources versus trying to manage things yourself. You're creating a brief as you need to tap into people who have different capabilities or expertise than you in a specific area. That being the case, use them and allow them to do what you've asked them to do and maximise the value that they bring. Basically, that means don't be overly prescriptive or try to be creative yourself when it comes to drafting your creative brief. Give them the scope to add their thoughts, perspectives, ideas, and inspiration...to be creative. When you do this you get the multiplier effect: additional inputs create a sum that's much greater than the parts. You get great marketing.
Give them the info
To allow the creative's to do their job, you also need to make sure that they have all the necessary information that they need. What are they working to? What are the parameters of the brief? Are there any constraints or criteria that they have to take into consideration? Make sure that everything is clear up-front. Otherwise things can get complicated, costly, and time-consuming when you have to go back and try to retro-fit. Great ideas are frequently diluted by having to accommodate additional requests that come in late in the day. Start the process by providing the detailed scope that everyone needs to follow.
The One Page Creative Brief
Pulling all of this together into a document that's not overly complicated or voluminous is a challenge. A creative brief needs to offer all the necessary criteria and information, whilst being easy to consume and comprehend. I've seen a lot of occasions where someone has to present the brief and without doing so, it becomes difficult to interpret and therefore address. This is useless as it ends up like the game of Chinese Whispers...whoever you've 'briefed' has to pass that information onto others who'll invariably be the ones who actually do the work. You're reliant upon the middlemen/women to not only understand where you're coming from and what you're trying to achieve, but also to be able to represent that effectively to others. The key is to have a creative plan that works in isolation. To achieve this it needs to be simple, concise, and thorough.
The following One Page Creative Brief template provides a framework for marketers to outline the necessary direction and inputs for their campaigns and programs, whilst offering the scope for creatives and planners to ideate and innovate so they can deliver great work.
The discipline of keeping everything to one page means that you have to really focus and consider what should be included and, crucially, what shouldn't. One page is intentionally restrictive to promote simplicity, clarity, and speed. Every word is important. It forces you to be specific in what you articulate, and how you do so.
At the same time, the One Page Creative Brief contains the essential building blocks to construct an effective campaign or program. These building blocks break down as follows:
Campaign Outline
This provides the key information for the make-up and parameters of the campaign:
What are the key dates and deadlines that need to be met:
• Brief Date – when the brief is submitted / due to be delivered to the people or teams who need to act upon it
• Brief Response – when the provider needs to deliver a response, i.e. when they need to feedback their proposals / work
• Campaign Live – the to / from dates for when the campaign needs to be in market
How much spend has been allocated for:
• Development – the budget for upfront strategy and planning; the thinking work that needs to go into the deliverable
• Creation – the budget for asset and content creation and production
• Execution – the budget for media and amplification; the in-market spend to deliver the asset or content to the audience
What are the specifications for the required outputs / deliverables from the brief:
• Format(s) – the form, composition, or arrangement that's needed, i.e. are you specifically wanting a video, written blog post, podcast, etc.
• Length(s) – the time / word count required
• Variants – the number and type of different executions that should be delivered
Campaign Goals
An outline of what the campaign is looking to achieve strategically (Campaign Goals), and in terms of specific metrics (Key Performance Indicators). The Key Performance Indicators or KPIs should be expressed as both the current status and target at the end of the campaign.
It's also important here to provide a Context, what's the background to the activity that's got you to this position. This should give your goals a grounding and help the recipient of the brief to understand why you need to achieve them.
Target Persona
A detailed picture of who you're targeting with the campaign:
A description of who the target audience for the activity is with a breakdown in terms of demographics, sociographics, firmographics, geographics, psychographics, behaviours, and technographics, etc.
Any specific insights, observations or learnings about the persona that would be relevant for the campaign's development. Is there anything that the creatives or planners can use as a hook or stimulus to solicit an action or reaction from the audience?
How does the persona relate to the problem or want that you're solving for? What are their specific needs as they pertain to the product or service that's being offered.
Key Messaging
This section provides the key messaging that you want to communicate to your target persona:
What's your value proposition?
What's the value that you're delivering to your intended audience? How are you solving their specific problem and meeting their need or want? Why is your solution better than what they're currently doing or using, or versus what else is out there including any potential competitors? What evidence do you have for this? How are you remarkable and why should they care?
What do you want the target persona to take-away?
What do you want them to think about your brand / product or service as a result of being exposed to the program, campaign or activity? What's the one-thing that they should believe? How should they feel?
What's the call-to-action?
What do you specifically want them to do as a result of this activity? What action do you want them to take?
Are there any mandatories to include?
Are there any imperatives that you need included such as logo, a specific brand strapline, website URL, contact information, legals, etc.
Over to you
Crafting an effective creative brief that leads to a great marketing program or campaign requires time, attention, and thought. If you put the effort in up front, you'll significantly increase the chances of producing something that meets your vision and requirements, and delivers the results that you're looking for.
Let me know how you're using the One Page Campaign Brief template, how it's working for you, and any thoughts on how it could be honed or improved?

'They're old school': Soward's worry about the Broncos
Jamie Soward has questioned the leadership of Brisbane Broncos.
The league powerhouse slumped to their fourth victory on Friday night under new coach Anthony Seibold and now face the tough assignment of facing the resurgent Raiders in Canberra on Sunday.
And Soward isn't convinced about the leadership structure of the side as they look to turn around their poor start to the season.
"They haven't got any leaders," he told Macquarie Sports Radio.
"They're old school, Darius isn't a vocal leader and I think he's struggling having to tell some of these young guys where to go and way to do.
"Usually Sam Thailday and Corey Parker have been putting blokes in position – it's hard to do.
"There's conversations about the Broncos every week because we expected them to be put the top but the young guys have really struggled with the pressure."

3 Key Things To Consider If You Want To Find The Perfect Lawyer
If you're a regular reader of this blog, you may remember a piece, a couple of months ago, on situations in which you should contact a lawyer. Well, following on from that, I'm here to talk about how you should go about hiring a lawyer. It's not as easy as you think; it's a process that requires lots of thought. A lot can be on the line when you hire a lawyer, so you have to get it right. Here are three key things to consider if you want to find the perfect lawyer:
How Much Do They Charge?
Most people think that hiring a lawyer will cost a large amount of money. This is down to the fact that lawyers are generally very well paid. But, this could be because they work a lot throughout the year, it might not be because they're expensive. Having said that, sometimes hiring a lawyer can be expensive, it depends on what you're hiring them for. Lawyers that work in business law tend to charge a lot for their services. Also, there are some lawyers out there that work on a 'no win no fee' basis. I'd always recommend you look out for this when you're hiring a lawyer. This means that if they don't win the case for you, you don't have to pay anything. A clause like this is so helpful because you know you won't be wasting any money..

Know What Speciality You're Looking For
There are various lawyers in the world and some specialise in certain things. You do have lawyers that try and work in a general way and cover all aspects of the law. But, commonly you'll look for a lawyer that specialises in the area you need help in. For example, if you get injured at work, you'll be looking for a firm that covers injury lawyer, like Zaner Harden lawyers. If you're preparing for a court trial, you may need a lawyer that specialises in capital law. Depending on what you need a lawyer for, find the specific one for you. It's not wise to hire an injury lawyer if you need to get a divorce; it just wouldn't work.
Find Out How Much Experience They Have
Whenever you're looking to hire someone you should find out how experienced they are. But, I find this particularly important when you're looking for a lawyer. You'll want a lawyer with years of experience and a high success rate. That's the key here; they need to be successful and experienced. You could find a lawyer that's been in practice for a decade but has only won a third of their cases. This isn't a very good track record, can you really trust them to win your case? Similarly, you could find one that has a 100% success rate, but they've only been in practice for a year and had three cases. It's hard to tell if they're good because they don't have a load of experience, that record could easily go down to 50% after another three cases. Look for a combination of experience and success. Of course, this is all advice, it's totally up to you if you want to chance your arm at an inexperienced lawyer.

I had over 70 comments on my kid nature blog today! (And they're not spam, which is even better.) After I checked to make sure that they were all appropriate, I showed the comments to my students so that we could talk about them and try to figure out who wrote them. It was a great learning experience.
I'm wading through the comments so that I can post and respond to them. Check them out on A Kids' Guide to Exploring Nature. They are adorable.
In other news, I had a blog post published on the Teaching Tolerance website. I'm so thrilled! It was the best news of the day.

The media had reported issues with lead in a very, very old jumper. We want to assure our customers of the following and to use common sense when filtering what you hear and read.
- We have received documentation from our major suppliuers that their vinyls are lead free, meaning below 300ppm (parts per million) allowed under CA. Prop. 65
- There are no known health issues associated with jumping in a jumper
- Even the CEH (Center for Environmental Health) working with Jerry Brown on this lawsuit does not advise that kids stop jumping in jumpers but advises children to wash their hands and face after jumping before putting hands in their mouth. I think most parents would do that anyway and don't need someone to tell them that
- You cannot injest lead by jumping in a jumper even if there were lead in the vinyl. Small toys from China were recalled WORLDWIDE a couple years back due to high lead content and the concern that children could injest the lead because kids are known to SUCK on toys. We know of no one sucking or licking our jumpers.
- If this were a real health issue, this would be an international issue! Jumpers are used worldwide. This is only a California issue.
- Jumpers have been around for over 25+ years. My husband and I have owned & operated Jubilee Jumps for 13+ yeras and we have no health issues, lead or otherwise and we are working & touching these inflatables 7 days a week, 12+ hours a day. Our employees have no lead issues either.
- This is a manufactured crisis without merit. Folks need to use common sense. I can tell you the vinyl manufacturer's don't make their vinyl just for jumpers. It is used on too many products to list, (gym mats, seat covers, etc.) but only jumpers are targeted.
- Jumping is fun, healthful exercise that children don't get enough of these days.

ASEAN countries will use nurses of each other from next year as part of their efforts to beef up regional integration and cooperation, a Vietnamese expert said on Friday.
International hospitals in Vietnam will start accepting nurses provided by other countries in the ASEAN bloc in 2015 and Vietnamese nurses will be employed by health facilities in other ASEAN member countries in return, Dr. Cao Van Thinh, head of the Nursing and Medical Technology Department of the Ho Chi Minh City-based Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, said on the sidelines of a two-day international nursing conference that closed at the university yesterday.
ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations that includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam.
Pham Ngoc Thach is one of the four Vietnamese medical universities selected by the Ministry of Health to take part in an ongoing project to train nurses in accordance with international standards, Dr. Thinh said.
Nurses who pass the training course will be granted practitioner's certificates with which they can practice nursing in any ASEAN country, he added.
The conference was attended by about 400 health experts, 250 of whom came from the U.S., Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
At the event, many experts in nursing and medical technologies delivered their reports on how to renovate nursing services to improve people's health in the context of regional integration among the ASEAN countries. –TUOI TRE NEWS

Longtime state lawmaker Jim Wayne, D-Louisville, has announced that he will not seek re-election to another term in the Kentucky House of Representatives.
Wayne said he was announcing his retirement from the House a year before the next election so that interested candidates would have time to plan their campaigns.
Wayne has served in the legislature for 27 years, championing social justice issues. His partnerships have achieved legislative victories to promote affordable housing, protect children from sexual predators, improve campus safety, and help thousands of Louisville families whose neighborhoods were devastated by the expansion of Louisville International Airport.
"You can't accomplish anything on your own. Progress is achieved by those dedicated to the hard work of building coalitions and fighting for change. I'm fortunate that I've partnered with people who not only have enriched my life, but have created lasting change in our commonwealth," Wayne said. "It has been a blessing beyond measure to work so closely with people committed to justice and progress. I couldn't ask for better allies, and I can't thank the people in my district enough for trusting me to be their voice at the State Capitol."
Wayne's work with citizens near the Louisville International Airport in the 1990s led to the creation of the Airport Neighbors Alliance, a group that organized itself into a force to respond to the noise, safety and environmental concerns caused by airport expansion. Working with the group's members, Wayne obtained $26 million from the state to help more than 10,000 citizens relocate. In 1998, he successfully sponsored legislation to move the city of Minor Lane Heights and its 1,700 residents from the airport's path. City residents were able to move to a development built specifically to keep their community together and is now known as Heritage Creek in southern Jefferson County.
"Every bill I sponsored that became state law was the result of ordinary citizens coming together to work with a commitment toward improving the lives of others," Wayne said. "It renews your sense of optimism every time you see people selflessly dedicating their time and energy toward giving a voice to people who are too often shut out when public policy is made."
Wayne worked with affordable housing advocates as the sponsor of legislation to create the Kentucky's Affordable Housing Trust Fund in 1992. A few years later he secured passage of legislation to create a steady income stream for the fund. As a result, the trust fund has allocated $100 million to help finance nearly 11,000 units of affordable housing in urban and rural areas of Kentucky. Wayne also sponsored legislation that established the Housing Policy Advisory Council, a panel that coordinates and evaluates the state's housing policies and makes annual recommendations to the governor and legislators.
In 1998, Rep. Wayne worked to improve campus safety with Gail Minger, the mother Michael Minger, a Murray State University student who was killed in a dormitory arson fire in 1998. The Michael Minger Act, sponsored by Wayne, promotes openness from colleges and universities by requiring them to maintain campus crime logs and make them public.
In 2008, Wayne joined forces with groups including Voices of the Faithful to give children new protections from sex abuse. He successfully sponsored legislation that strengthen penalties for sexual abusers and for those who knowingly fail to report the crimes.
As a longtime member of the state's budget-writing committee, Wayne is known for his efforts to support people with mental illnesses and disabilities and for his push for tax fairness. He has proposed tax reform measures since 1998 and served on the state's Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform.
He also served on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Smart Growth and was a cofounder of Catholics For Fairness, a group that promotes legislation to prohibit discrimination against LGBT citizens.
Wayne is the founder and president of Wayne Corporation, a Louisville mental health services provider. He also founded Bellarmine University's Wayne Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy. A writer of numerous articles and opinion pieces, his debut Novel, The Unfinished Man, has received several national literary honors since it was published last year.
He noted that he still has many assignments on his plate for his final year as a legislator. He will continue working toward a statewide ban on corporal punishment in schools. He will continue to call for gun safety laws and push for legislation that would allow local governments to regulate firearms, prohibit guns from college campuses, and implement licensing of gun owners and registration of firearm and ammunition. He will continue pursuing soundproofing credits for those with homes still overcome with noise by the Louisville airport. And, of course, he will continue calling for tax reform.
"I will continue using every opportunity I have to urge tax reform that supports working families and promotes fairness in Kentucky," Wayne said. "I'll remain as busy as ever for the remainder of my term. After that, I hope we'll have a new legislator with a commitment to social justice that I can enjoy supporting just as strongly as the people of the 35th District have supported me for 27 years."

News & Noteworthy
Let's say that you believe the entity that owes your client money on a contract is insolvent, or perhaps it has gone bankrupt. Can you sue the owner of the company? In Transmodal Corp., v. EMH Associates, Inc., 2010 WL 3937042 (D.N.J. 2010), the Court emphasized the need for specific proofs of either commingling, undercapitalization, or the other elements that allow piercing the corporate veil, in order to reach the principal of even a single-shareholder entity.
The Court emphasized that although the individual defendant was "the sole shareholder of EMH, there is no evidence that the corporate formalities were not maintained". The entity was in existence for quite some time and actually pursued its business, as opposed to the corporation being used "as a mere device to further...personal ...business." "Nor has [plaintiff]...come forward with any expert testimony showing that EMH was undercapitalized for its stated business." No specific proof was advanced of transfers after insolvency. Moreover, substantial payments were made by the corporation to its creditors, as the individual shareholder ostensibly attempted to keep the company afloat.
The Court's analysis should be instructive to the practitioner, whether on offense and defense. In a sense, Transmodal provides a pathway for the plaintiff as to the elements needed to be proven; and a ready-built motion by the defense when they are not proven.
As a coda, in a later Opinion in the same case, 2011 WL 124641 (D.N.J. 2011), the Court overlooked the analysis established in Pacifico v. Pacifico, 190 N.J. 250 (2007); as set forth in my Article of April 17, 2012, "Construing Language Against the Drafter". As that Article points out, the Pacifico standard replaced In re Miller's Estate 90 N.J. 210 (1982). This author is unaware whether Pacifico was cited to the Transmodal Court.

Something called a divertimento, whatever it may be, ought not to be a heavy thing. And Johannes Brahms, whatever his virtues, did write a good deal of music which can become heavy – sometimes for good reasons, and sometimes not. Charles Ives remarks on this in his Essays before a Sonata:
To think hard and deeply and to say what is thought, regardless of consequences, may produce a first impression, either of great translucence, or of great muddiness, but in the latter there may be hidden possibilities. Some accuse Brahms' orchestration of being muddy. This may be a good name for a first impression of it. But if it should seem less so, he might not be saying what he thought.
Recordings and performances of Brahms are often judged on whether they can avoid falling into polyrhythmical webs and bass-heavy pits – traps set unintentionally by a composer who seriously intended, as Ives notes, to 'say what he thought'.
The Serenade No. 1, Op. 11, avoids these issues by tending toward translucence. It was originally written by Brahms as a string/wind octet, expanded to a nonet, and ultimately rescored for large orchestra. His ultimately large orchestration did not remove any of the lightness, however. The full-orchestra version is radiant. Still, one could happily wonder what the lightly-orchestrated (and now lost) originals sounded like. First, as a six-movement divertimento-form work, it clearly falls in line with Beethoven's Septet, Schubert's Octet, and Mozart's grand Divertimento for string trio, K. 563 – three pieces which mix lightness and depth as well as music itself might be imagined to manage. Second, the musical content would seem to support a lighter orchestration quite well. It is full of dance rhythm, deft modulations, and a purely tuneful quality rarely associated with Brahms' orchestral music. Several reconstructions of the work have been offered over the years; the reconstruction of the nonet version heard today is by Alan Boustead.

After all the Android TV stuff, Google transitioned into Chromecast. They bragged about how popular Chromecast has become since they announced it last July. They informed us that it's the most popular media device on Amazon in five different countries, including the US, UK and Canada.
Before today, Chromecast was only able to be cast to by being on the same WiFi network. But now we can cast while being on LTE, instead of being on WiFi. Which is a pretty small feature, but it's also pretty big at the same time. Imagine you go to a friends house and want to share something with them, but you don't have their WiFi password? Well you don't need it, just simply hit the cast button and it'll search for nearby devices which you can then choose that Chromecast and cast to that device. It works just like magic, literally.
This update is not yet available for the Chromecast, but will be available later this year, probably with the Android L release in the fall. Google also informed us that there are over 6,000 developers and over 10,000 applications that hook into the Chromecast. Which means the number has jumped a ton since it was first released last year at the "Breakfast with Sundar Pichai" event where they announced the Nexus 7, Android 4.3 and Chromecast.
Chromecast was one of my favorite gadgets of 2013 and it looks like it's about to get even better come this fall. How many of you own a Chromecast? What do you think of all the announcements for Chromecast today? Let us know in the comments down below.

Following the success of the This Girl Can Essex Campaign in 2017, we are looking to recruit more ambassadors and continue our great work in 2018. The This Girl Can Essex ambassadors will help us celebrate Active Women in Essex, highlighting the fact that whatever your size, ability or previous experience, sport can be a fun and enjoyable part of every women's life. We'd also like the Ambassadors to help inspire other women and girls in Essex to take part in more physical activity, breaking down the primary barrier preventing women from taking part in sport and physical activity: fear of judgement.
In summary, the role of the ambassadors is to:
- Help promote physical activity sessions for women and girls via social media
- Signpost women to the This Girl Can Essex Facebook page/Active Essex website and national This Girl Can website for further inspiration and information on local opportunities to get more active
- Be an inspiration to other women in Essex to be more active
If you think you would make a great This Girl Can Essex ambassador and would like to get involved in the campaign, we'd love your help. For more information please read our This Girl Can Essex Ambassadors Guide 2018_V1.0.
Our 2017 This Girl Can Essex ambassadors included a variety of inspirational women with different abilities, interests and personal incentives as to why they exercise and how they fit it in to their busy lives. You can view the profiles of some of our past and current ambassadors here.
If you have any further questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
