The essence of the lesson learned is that geographical boarders are made by man and business can and does regularly work across them. Though for a variety of self-limiting reasons, Canadian tech companies often believe they have to make it locally first before they venture abroad. Yet with larger more lucrative markets outside of the country, it's actually sometimes easier to achieve success outside of the country first. A strange but true Canadianism.
Does your B2B Customer Persona include their job KPIs
Now let's consider instead that your B2B customer decision maker is an area Sales Manager. This Sales Manager measured on Market Share and Revenue as well, but they may be more directly measured on the length of the sales cycle and their team's lead to conversion rate. For this customer, your messaging could focus more on the impact of closing deals anytime anywhere; enabling their mobile sales teams to close deals faster, as well as cutting down on the number of buyers who change their mind in the previous extended time before the invoice was sent.
When the inside matches the outside
Startups should first start with trying to understand the market and what you can uniquely offer of value to that market. That I meant not to ignore traditional branding activities, just not to prioritize that before they have product/market fit validated. And base your branding on this discovery.
Why Founders should focus on Growth at later stages
An early focus on achieving scale takes away from the initial priorities of discovery and validation – achieving product / market fit and then subsequently problem / solution fit. If a company scales without nailing operational efficiencies then they can lose control over customer acquisition costs and operational costs. The more customers you have, then the harder it can be to actually identify the need for and perform necessary pivots.
What market sector is your company in? How you answer the question speaks volumes
I've been doing customer discovery interviews of Founders that start off with some demographic questions to place some context around the discovery questions that are the meat of the interview. It's been interesting to hear the answer the Founder gives. Because it's usually phrased in one of two ways: self-reflective in language that talks about the function of the company; or in customer-centric language that describes the market that the customer sits in.

We shop for organic produce, we've swapped the toxic cleaners for safer stuff, ditched the artificial fragrances in our home and moved to cleaner choices for our beauty routine. However, many are surprised to find that our cookware can actually be a major source of lurking toxic chemicals and can contribute to our body's toxic load (when talking to my friend the other day about it she said, "Oh my gosh, my cookware is poisoning me?! I had no idea!"). Unfortunately, materials and metals like aluminum, plastic, lead and teflon can pose serious risks to your health and are prevalent in a lot of cookware options.
And if the cookware we constantly use is leaching out harmful toxins, we are doing ourselves and all that effort a disservice.
The good news it that there are so many better cookware options out there! Toss the toxic pots and pans and check out our guide to healthier swaps below. And if you've already made the switch, let us know in the comments what your favorite cookware is!
What to toss:
Traditional Non-Stick Coatings
Teflon is the trademarked coating that makes non-stick cookware non-stick. It's incredibly convenient and was a gamechanger for cooking when it was introduced around 80 years ago. The issue is that these coatings (which contain compounds like PFOA or PTFE), are highly toxic and have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, organ failure, reproductive damage and other health issues (check out the film Dark Waters and documentary The Devil We Know for a deeper dive into the health risks). Newer nonstick coatings, like Teflon, technically no longer contain PFOA and PFOS, but you wanna keep an eye out for Teflon cookware that was made before 2013 as it could still contain these dangerous chemicals. And while most Teflon coated pans these days are PFOA-free, this often means that they still contain PTFE (PFOA or C8, is used to make PTFE coating, and as we discussed, is considered a carcinogen). On top of that, high heat causes the chemicals to break down, releasing toxic fumes. Additionally, PFOAs and PTFEs don't biodegrade – which means they can accumulate in our bodies increasing the risk of damage.
There is some debate over whether aluminium is safe. Aluminium exists in our environment and we all have some amount of aluminium exposure daily. However, research shows that aluminum is toxic at certain levels. Elevated aluminum levels have been linked to everything from anemia and other blood disorders, to ALS and Parkinson's to cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and neurological problems.
Healthier Swaps:
Ceramic coated
Not all ceramic coatings are made equal. Skimp on the cheap ceramic coatings and instead look for one that's certified by third party testing and free of PFAs, PFOA, lead and cadmium. I personally have a few Green Pans and love them! They're nonstick, affordable and with some care hold up well. Another great option is the Always Pan – the color options are so good!
Ceramic is great as it's completely inert – meaning it won't leach any harmful toxins. Ceramic pans are generally free of heavy metals, polymers, coatings and dyes, plus, they're dishwasher safe! Easier to wash than cast iron, you can just use warm soapy water. If you're interested in trying, Xtrema is a great brand to check out. A note: you do have to be more careful with these pans, as they're more fragile than other types of pots and pans.
Stainless steel
Not all stainless steel is created equal. When shopping you will see numbers like 200, 304, 316 and 430, the higher the number the stronger the longer lasting it is and the less nickel content it will have. Be sure to use gentle cleaners as harsh cleaners can damage the lining, which then can allow the heavy metals in the core to leach into your food.
Cast iron
This is the OG nontoxic cookware. They take a bit of time to get used to if you've never tried them, but work so well once you figure it out and are budget friendly! Some tips: heat before adding food, avoid soap when cleaning and season regularly (check out this post for tips for seasoning). There are many methods for cleaning cast irons, but my go-to is scrubbing with some salt and rinsing with water. I then dry thoroughly, drizzle with cooking oil, spread it around and then set on low heat for a bit to ensure the pan is completely dry.
The main perk of glass cookware is that there are tons of budget friendly glass options out there, Pyrex being the most common one. You can find everything from baking dishes, to round soup dishes to loaf pans.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is sometimes used for frying pans and woks. It's similar to cast iron, and can output small amounts of iron into food, which is great if you happen to have someone with slight anemia in your home!
Porcelain Enamel
Enameled cookware is usually made of cast iron that has been coated in enamel (think Le Creuset). While not perfect in terms of low heavy-metal content, I'd say this is one of the "better" options. The perk of this cookware is that it won't rust, in contrast to cast irons, if not properly seasoned. Cleaning is super easy with mild soap, water and a gentle scrub pad. It is a bit on the pricier side, but your investment will last you a long time!

LeCrueset tested high for Cadmium. Check out Tamara Reubens blog, Lead Free Mama. She had it tested and it failed

You're missing wrought iron. Lighter than cast, they don't break if dropped, vented handles so no burning yourself. They're perfect for non toxic, non stick! Solidteknics are my fav.

You're missing wrought iron from your list. Lighter than cast, won't break if dropped, vented handles so handles stay cool. They'll last forever, non toxic, non stick. Solidteknics is my fav!

Yes ! We've been using only cast iron for years because of this ! I'm really happy to have a guide to other options too – especially now that I'm n the midst of creating a wedding registry!! Thanks for this awesome resource ! I appreciate you ladies talking about environmental toxins too! It's something I mention a lot to my patients and while some a receptive a lot give me the raised eyebrow – I can't wait until this becomes more mainstream. Yes yes yes!

Ward redistribution 'a slap in the face,' councillors complain
Consultants offer 5 options for redrawing ward boundaries before the 2022 vote
Some Ottawa city councillors are strongly objecting to proposed changes to the electoral map that could be in place by the next municipal election, arguing they arbitrarily slice through neighbourhoods and make little sense.
As the city's general population has grown, ward populations have increased unevenly, creating a disparity among voters and an uneven workload for councillors and their staff.
Consultants Beate Bowron Etcetera Inc., The Davidson Group and Hemson Consulting Ltd. were hired to even things out, but some councillors didn't like what they saw.
- Options for Ottawa city council include shedding 6 seats, adding 2
- City starts redrawing electoral map
Kanata South's Allan Hubley, for instance, struggled to understand why the Carp River should no longer demarcate Kanata from Stittsville. On many maps, the consultants moved the line to Terry Fox Drive, which places the former Kanata city hall, Kanata South business park and Kanata recreation centre in neighbouring Stittsville.
"It will be perceived by the public as a slap in the face," Hubley said Tuesday during a meeting of the finance and economic development committee.
Neighbourhoods split
Across the city, Orléans councillor Matthew Luloff was also disappointed with the redrawn boundaries, which he said further split existing neighbourhoods such as Queenswood Heights and Fallingbrook between two wards.
"If we're going to be presenting options to council, they should be true options. And in the east end, those options just don't exist," Luloff said.
Two of the five redistribution options presented keep the current ward count of 23. One map reduces the city to 17 wards, while the remaining maps boost the number to 24 and 25, respectively.
All five maps aim to avoid mixing rural and suburban communities. Some of the options combine parts of Cumberland and Osgoode, creating a vast rural swath stretching from the Ottawa River in the east to Osgoode village in the south.
"People want to come to your office. My office is in Metcalfe. It's 39 minutes away from every resident in Cumberland," said Osgoode Coun. George Darouze. "It's not making sense ... you want to balance it, but it's unbalanced."
No simple fix
Stittsville Coun. Glen Gower said he doubts residents worry about ward boundaries as much as their political representatives.
"The lines are important from an administrative point of view, but they're not how people define their communities," Gower said.
There's no simple fix when the stated goal is to keep wards at 23 seats, the consultants said, telling councillors that in order to maintain the existing wards within the Greenbelt, but also accommodate the growing population in the suburbs, 26 or even 27 wards would be needed.
The ward boundary options will go for another round of public consultation this fall, with a final report going before city council as soon as December.

There are many ways to save money but using some tips will help you maximize your saving potential.
I will outline some of the best tips I have found for saving in this post.
Best 10 tips for saving money on everyday items includes the following:
Create Shopping Lists
Buy in Bulk
Shop at Discount Stores
Use Rakuten or Paribus
Befriend Worker at Store
Buy Generic Products
Stay Home and Relax
Make Coffee at Home
Take Care of Car
Research the Real Retail Prices of Items
Using these tips will allow you to have a better chance at saving money on all kinds of items.
Through this post I will explain how to save money for everyday items and which tips are the most useful for accomplishing this.
Create Shopping lists
Creating a shopping list with what you need and sticking to that list is critical to saving money.
Getting in the habit of doing this will make it a part of your routine and before you know it this will be instilled in your shopping routine.
I like to write up the shopping list when I am at home and have extra minutes to think about what I really need and put it on the list.
Creating the list at home will give you enough time to determine whether each item you are thinking about buying should go on the shopping list.
Creating the list at home will help reduce how much impulse buying you do by a lot.
Whenever I am in doubt about buying an item, I always look at the list and buy the item.
This is because if I put it on the shopping list then I know that I have thought about this decision at home and determined that I needed this item.
Buy in Bulk
You should be buying most of your household items such as toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters in bulk if you want to save more money. The key is to plan ahead some and buy in bulk because then you will save more money in the long run.
Whether you are buying for yourself or buying for many people, you should try to buy in bulk because in the long run it will save you a significant amount of money.
Buying in bulk will also help you be more stocked up so that you don't have to go to the store or go shopping as frequently.
I like to buy most of my household items in bulk because then my place is stocked and prepared.
Buying in bulk will ultimately save you tons of time because you will be able to buy most of your items at the same time.
I like to go on one big shopping trip once a week and buy whatever items I need. This is because then I can acquire all the household items that I will need for that next week.
If you want to learn about more ways to save money, read Frugal Tips for Saving Money.
Shop at Discount Stores
Shop at discount stores to get the best deal because these stores carry everyday items at an inexpensive price.
There are many discount stores out there but using a few of them have worked well for me.
Some of the best discount stores include:
Shopping at these discount stores will allow you to get the vast majority of your household items at the best price.
I like to use Target for most of my household products that I need. But trying out Ross or Thrift stores for certain items could be great for extra savings.
Getting a few simple plates, cups or bowls at thrift stores or Ross could be an easy way to save a few extra dollars.
Making one, or all of these discount stores, part of your shopping routine will save you money.
If you want to learn more about saving money by shopping at these discount stores, read How To Save Money for Clothes.
Use Rakuten or Paribus
Using Rakuten or Paribus could be beneficial resources that can help you get cash back or save money for when you go shopping.
Both of these resources are helpful for saving. Especially if you are already spending the money on certain stores because then you will be able to save money on the purchases that you have to make.
Each of these resources is designed to find great deals and save you money or give you cash back. It is easy to sign up and get started with either and both could help you save money.
If you want to find out more about Rakuten, read my review of this resource Review of Rakuten.
If you are already shopping at one of the big retailers on this list, such as Target, then you could shop using one of these resources and start saving money quickly.
Befriend Worker in Store
If you befriend a worker at a discount store, or a store that you like to buy items in, then this could allow you to get special deals.
You could learn about when a sale is going to happen in the near future and doing this could help you always get the best deal possible.
Befriending a worker in your shopping store could save you money. But make sure that you are not shopping at a store only because of a very friendly worker in a store.
You want to try to shop at a discount store and do most of your shopping for everyday items there because it will save you the most.
Buy Generic Products
Buying generic products will allow you to save extra on everyday items. The big name brands are going to be more expensive than the other not as well known brands but these lesser known brands could give you just what you need.
I mostly go for the least expensive and quality product that is being advertised.
I recently bought a bunch of band-aids that were technically not called band-aids but were called flexible fabric.
They appeared to be as good of a product as the traditional band-aid but were simply a different name then the super well-known Band-aid name and I saved a ton.
Stay Home and Relax
If you stay at home and focus on relaxing, you will likely save money and potentially find a great way to relax.
Almost everyone is busy and when they have time to relax they want to do the most that they can to relax.
But instead of going out and trying to find some place to get that coveted relaxation time, why not create that place at home?
Try this tip out and you could be surprised at how much you save and relax.
Make Coffee at Home
Most of us need coffee in our life and taking the time to prepare it at home will save you a bundle.
I don't drink a huge amount of coffee but I was still able to save hundreds a year by preparing my coffee at home.
I was able to buy a simple drip coffee maker and now it takes less than 5 minutes to create and I use it everyday.
Investing in a good coffee maker that you like is going to end up saving you a lot of money and be much more convenient for you.
If you want to read more about saving on coffee, read my recent post How to Save Money on Coffee.
Take Care of Car
A car can become a very significant expense but by taking better care of it you can keep it running longer and save yourself some money too.
Doing some basic maintenance to keep the car running smoothly can help reduce the chance of the car needing repairs.
Wash car consistently but using minimal water can keep the paint from being damaged by dirt and salt.
Be mindful of where you park the car so that it is not in a place where it could get hit by another car.
I always try to park in a less busy spot if possible so that the car has a lesser chance of getting hit by a car, bike or person.
It is always a good idea if you are parking in a new area to make sure you know what the parking rules are for that spot.
Parking tickets can happen when you least expect it but understanding what the exact rules and hours are for where you park is going to keep you from racking up tickets.
Research the Real Retail Prices of Items
There can often be sales claiming to have a big market in price but it is important to know what is actually a good deal.
Some of these sales are actually slashing the price from a very expensive starting to a slightly more expensive price than you could get from buying this same item at a discount store.
Do online research to see what the prices are for the items that you are needing to see what the best place to get it will be.
If you do this research, then you will be able to quickly determine whether a sale is truly a good deal or not.
Pick Your Favorite Tips From Here
I like to use all of these tips in my life but even using one or two of the tips listed above will likely improve how much you are saving each month significantly.
Try out a few of your favorite tips here and see how quickly you can start saving money and start saving time too.
I hope that you liked this post about how to save money for everyday items and are able to utilize one or more of these tips to save money.

Ian McCoy
Clinical Instructor, Medicine - Nephrology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests As a nephrologist working in diverse practice settings including the intensive care unit (ICU), I regularly face the limitations of current clinical tools for assessing a patient's volume status and for guiding patient selection for diuretic therapy. I work with a large, detailed clinical database (MIMIC-III) to study current patterns of diuretic use in the ICU, estimated effects of diuretic use, and clinical features that may predict outcomes in critically ill patients receiving diuretics.
I am also involved in quality improvement. I lead the Draw on Dialysis project, which aims to draw non-urgent inpatient labs on dialysis rather than by peripheral phlebotomy in order to save patient pain and peripheral veins for future dialysis access. I am also interested in leveraging nationwide databases such as Optum claims data to assess adherence to guidelines in kidney care.

The Weekly Roundup: What's Next in Supply Chain Safety? (6.14.19)
A pilot program announced this week seeks ways to use block chain technology to improve the prescription drug supply chain. "A permissioned block chain will provide an increased level of authority for patients and consumers, guaranteeing the drugs and vaccines they are receiving are not counterfeit, stolen, contaminated or harmful," according to Craig Kennedy, senior vice president of supply chain at Merck, who is participating in the program with Walmart and technology partners IBM and KPMG. The new program is geared toward reducing the time associate with track-and-trace—a priority for the FDA based on its February program launch—and improving access and reliability. The potential for using the technology is vast, considering studies that have demonstrated that so much product is stolen, counterfeit, or damaged in transit. And while the so-called "porous" supply chain poses significant hazards to patients, it also adds significant cost to a system that has operated for decades in a black box.

As the Covid-19 lockdown begins (except you're living in the UK clearly), and seemingly all high-level football suspended, we might perhaps well perhaps additionally originate to surprise if Harvey Barnes' impartial versus Aston Villa regularly is the final ever Premier League impartial.
With out a restart date on the horizon, it does give us a gamble to look on the Premier League season up to now and how groups are performing versus their pre-season expectations. Liverpool regularly is the undisputed champions-elect and are undeniably out-performing their pre-season expectations, nevertheless how end they stack up versus the diversified season's high-fliers?
For an extended model of this text, click here…
Let's hasten support to Friday, ninth August 2019. On the support of a 9-game worthwhile traipse and 17-game unbeaten creep on the end of the 2018/19 season, Liverpool – second-favourites for the title late Manchester City – hasten high of the desk with a 4-1 buy over relegation candidates Norwich City.
It's no surprise that followers, pundits, journalists and bookmakers alike would contain had Liverpool as immense favourites to beat Norwich. Liverpool accrued 97 functions in the Premier League the old season and unforgettably accomplished 2nd – a single point late Manchester City. Norwich on the diversified hand accomplished one space greater than Liverpool – albeit in the Championship – with 94 functions in the Championship's 46-game season.
97 functions in the Premier League vs 94 functions in the Championship – easy to prefer which aspect you fancy in a one-off game. Sooner than this match, when you had been to predict what the Premier League desk would look fancy on the end of the season, you'd probably contain Liverpool somewhere among the many cease and Norwich somewhere among the many bottom.
If we glance on the most up-to-date league desk…
Premier League Table as of the Corona Virus shut down. pic.twitter.com/nEcqblHgUo
— Footyontv (@footyontv) March 17, 2020
…Liverpool are on the very high and Norwich are on the very bottom. But of the whole Premier League groups, what team is most pleased with their efficiency up to now?
First, one must ask how end you measure a given membership's 'pre-season expectations'. After we know that, we can evaluate their season up to now with these expectations.
To measure the pre-season expectations of a team, we will probably be the exercise of a handicap style system. This style that every membership is given X sequence of functions so that you can add to their end-of-season entire.
1) Let's disclose you expected Liverpool to carry out 1st and contain 85 functions in the 19/20 League Season and you expected Norwich to contain 35 functions. We would put Norwich 50 Handicap Aspects (H Pts).
2) Let's disclose we expected Liverpool to carry out 2nd with 85 functions, Man City to carry out 1st with 89 functions and Norwich to carry out with 35 functions. We would now put Norwich 54 Handicap Aspects and Liverpool 4 Handicap Aspects (and Man City 0 Handicap Aspects).
The premise is that on the end of the season, every team has a fairly realistic likelihood of ending in first space on this league desk. Norwich might perhaps well perhaps additionally never peek themselves ending above Liverpool in the explicit league desk, nevertheless they might be able to target ending above them in Handicap League Table.
So now that we contain a cheap model for judging pre-season expectations, how end we maintain in the records? How end you web a legit and independent forecast for a Premier League membership's pre-season expectations? Interrogate any membership respectable what their expectations for the arriving season are, and you're sure to web an bold acknowledge. Fans too are incessantly optimistic and can't support nevertheless feel 'here is our year'. Journalists, pundits and media are incessantly incentivised to insist whatever will promote the most papers or web the most clicks.
For independent forecasts of this nature, I constantly are inclined to note the money and center of attention on what the bookies are predicting. The finest allegiance the bookies contain is to their very have bottom line so that they are incentivised to web their predictions as simply as seemingly.
Within the muse of the season, Wager365 supplied the following market. Every team has the an identical odds* of worthwhile, so in Wager365's eyes, here's a enticing handicap system and every team should always peaceable be competing for first space.
* every team is given odds of 16.00 (when you wager €10, you web €160 in case your wager wins). If this became a 'enticing' wager, the percentages might perhaps well perhaps be 20.00 – this margin is how bookmakers carry out money. The essential point is that the likelihood is 16.00 for ALL groups, so Wager365 are incentivised to be as simply as seemingly with their assigning of Handicap Aspects to groups. Bookmakers might perhaps well perhaps additionally alternate strains/odds/handicaps in accordance with how the market reacts, so here is no longer a excellent model, nevertheless it if truth be told is peaceable the most easy risk for our intents and functions.
Furthermore present, the most easy cause Leicester are highlighted in the image beneath is because of they had been the team I fancied most on this market!
This is the League Table following the Leicester City vs Aston Villa game (the final game performed since the suspension of the league because of Covid-19). This might be known as the Recent League Table (CT) and these functions totals shall be known as Recent Aspects (C Pts). This might seem in gold coloration in all tables.
Next, we'll look on the Initiating Handicap League Table (SHT). This desk became created sooner than the initiating of the 19/20 season and assigns every team X handicap functions (H Pts) so that you can add to their end-of-season tally. This might seem in gentle blue coloration in all tables.
As we can peek, Man City are assigned 0 H Pts (which device they are expected to carry out 1st in the explicit league desk), Liverpool are assigned 4 H Pts (which device they are expected to carry out 2nd in the explicit league desk (and about 4 functions late City)), and Sheffield United are assigned 52 H Pts (which device they are expected to carry out 20th in the explicit league desk (and about 52 functions late City and about 48 functions late Liverpool).
This desk affords us a simply belief of what groups' pre-season expectations regarded fancy. Man City and Liverpool are the frightful challengers for the title with City having a shrimp edge. Spurs, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal know that they'll if truth be told must over-originate to carry out a grief for the league title, nevertheless high four is a really realistic expectation.
From this desk, we can web a fairly simply belief of how groups are faring up to now this season. Most groups' CT positioning is rather approach their SHT positioning. The save these numbers differ vastly is where we discover the groups most over-reaching or beneath-reaching. Sheffield United had been awaiting to carry out 20th nevertheless are currently in 7th – over-performing by 13 areas. Spurs had been awaiting to carry out in third space nevertheless are currently in Eighth – beneath-performing by five areas.
It's essential to present that when drawing inferences the exercise of this device, it most productive accounts for league enlighten and doesn't teach in functions. Let's consume three groups who are all beneath-performing by five areas – Spurs, Watford and Bournemouth. Spurs expected to carry out third nevertheless are 12 functions off third space in the Recent Table. Watford expected to carry out 12th nevertheless are 10 functions off 12th space in the Recent Table. Bournemouth expected to carry out 13th nevertheless are 8 functions off 13th in the Recent Table. So, though all three groups are five areas beneath expectation, Spurs are if truth be told the finest sequence of functions beneath expectation. What about Manchester City in 2nd space? They're most productive beneath-performing by one space nevertheless are a whopping 25 functions off their expected carry out of 1st space.
It's intuitive that areas in the cease half of of the desk contain bigger functions variations than areas in the bottom half of of the desk. The bottom half of is extra most regularly bunched together and a team might perhaps well perhaps additionally jump five areas selecting up two wins in a row. Alternatively, it's uncommon that two wins in a row would elevate you five areas in the cease half of of the desk.
One other itsy-bitsy present present is that in three conditions (Chelsea and Man United; Southampton and Watford; Newcastle and Aston Villa) groups are assigned the an identical sequence of H Pts. In these conditions, the team with the upper CT positioning became positioned forward in SHT positioning.
The beneath graph affords a tough visible illustration of how groups are doing versus their pre-season expectations. Groups above the blue line are outperforming their pre-season expected ending enlighten, and groups beneath the blue line are beneath-performing. The elevated the gap between the blue and the orange line, the elevated the gap in expectation.
Table positions can represent us plenty, nevertheless at this point of the season the functions totals shall be extra telling. For this, we glance on the Recent Handicap League Table (CHT) aka 'The Over-Expectation League Table'.
This desk factors in Recent Aspects and Handicap Aspects. This desk tries to display what team is doing most productive versus their pre-season expectations. Take into accout, here's a desk that every team would contain had aspirations of topping in the muse of the season.
Unsurprisingly, Sheffield United high the desk. Tipped for 20th space sooner than the season began and expected to carry out 52 functions late Man City, Sheffield United to find themselves in 7th space in the Recent Table and proper 14 functions late Man City. It's very tough to argue that any diversified team is outperforming their pre-season expectations to the kind of level.
Burnley, Leicester and Liverpool round out the cease four in the Recent Handicap League Table. Leicester and Liverpool had been talked about hundreds this season nevertheless some might perhaps well perhaps additionally no longer contain noticed Burnley's ascent up the desk. Sitting in 10th space and assured security with ten games to spare is rather a lofty save of residing for a team that had been expected to be relegated.
The diversified end of the desk additionally makes for engaging reading. Curiously, Spurs, City, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea (supposed participants of the 'immense six') all to find themselves rounding out the bottom five. By system of league enlighten, Chelsea and Man Utd don't seem like beneath-appearing in any appreciate. Alternatively, both groups are achieving a ways fewer functions than they'd've expected despite their acceptable league positions. This implies that this season's Premier League has been an especially aggressive league with the mid- and decrease-desk groups inflicting extra upsets than would've been expected.
With the exception of Liverpool, it's no longer easy to argue that any of the immense six are having 'simply seasons'. And even Liverpool must bow to the mighty Blades.

You would think it would be easy to come up with a piece for the backing, given my very large stash of fabrics, but making decisions is the difficult part. Feeling too uninspired to push through the process, I resort to procrastinating by tidying up and putting away fabrics left over from the previous quilt. Then I go with the flow and choose a very earthy-coloured hand-dyed cotton, one that will show up the distinctive quilting lines from the front, and also allow me to add extra to the back if the ideas germinating want to come to fruition. Having stabilised the completed background by adding the backing and batting and quilting through the three layers, I can now get on with creating the spiral as an independent piece.
Hearing the statement on a quiz show that "We live in the spiral galaxy of the Milky Way", which then asks how many arms of the spiral there are, my instant response is two: one in and one out. Think the answer was more like nine – but that is in 3D in outer space! But it really does test one's visual acumen to respond to something seemingly simple to represent. Jan has particularly asked that the spiral be "3D" – I assume meaning having a visual aspect that takes the eye both into and out of the formation.
I thought about using fabric paints directly onto a background fabric, meaning the spiral and background would be one piece. I tried this with a purple spiral painted onto hand-dyed cotton fabric, when I realized it would have to be stitched through on the outer edge to attach it to the larger background. Even with the machine, stitching through fabric paint is no an easy thing to do. The paint makes the fabric almost like plastic, so that the needle sticks. So back to the drawing board, meaning a return to considering fabrics for both the spiral and its background.
I discarded any ideas of silks or satins, in spite of feeling they would add texture and vibrancy. Though the finish might be nice, the technique by which they would be attached, (namely, raw edge applique) would make them unsuitable because of their tendencies to fray at the edges. At the moment there is a large hole at the centre of the quilt, which the spiral will sit over, but no background fabric. Here's another challenge: choosing the background fabric to sit the spiral on, since they are not to be one piece. One light-bulb moment came with the thought of using a plain-coloured cotton homespun for the spiral, since I've been thinking about printing onto it, and a hand-dye for the background. Now that is sounding promising….but…not very exciting.
Finally the choice for the spiral colour comes by finding a small piece of hand-dyed leftover mauvish purple fabric. I had cut out the spiral from a hand drawn template, enlarged from my small A5 size drawing, to a bit larger than an A3. It wriggles around like a snake as I struggle to put it down to trace onto the paper-backing of the fusible material, wanting to make sure that the spiral will move in an anti-clockwise direction. As I make some moves in this direction, trying to make some progress, I am overcome with overwhelming tiredness, and meltdown occurs unexpectedly. I do manage to work out the direction to trace the spiral in reverse on the fusing material, but then all energy leaves me. At times like these, the spirit is willing…
The orientation of the spiral continued to raise concerns, by which I mean making decisions about which direction to position it on the background. I had thought to bring it in from the side, but arising from the lower edge gives the powerful appearance of a wave rising to its fullest before breaking, which is a nice concept for a croning quilt. Then the wave breaks on me: there is no top or bottom to this quilt. It presents an aerial view, looking down into the watery abyss. Now I can play around, work with the 'bottom' section, which needs 'closure', quite literally, in order to make the background one whole piece – albeit with a hole in the centre.
When I pay attention to my intuition, both design elements and how to implement them begin to move. When I push through, without due attention, earlier work often has to be undone – hand unpicked, and restructured. The flow of line is very important, as are the dimensions, and the positioning of elements on the background that I am creating. It can be unnerving to trust my intuition, because the fullness of the end design is not yet in sight, not there to follow. Although when you talk about lines and dimensions and positioning, there is nothing really totally logical, rational or linear about the process. It's not like building the Parthenon, I know! The creative process is more about remaining aware and intuitive than having a plan of attack – though, it is possible that you may think that you have one.
It takes a bit of courage to acknowledge the influence and work from our intuition, because it is not one of the aspects of our human nature that is admired or nurtured. Yet it is a powerful force there in our psyche for us to call on and reconnect with – and though it can be a frightening, or off-putting experience rousing either anger or grave doubts, it is often to our advantage to take heed if that niggling feeling that something is not quite right in the creative process. It can be working too fast, an eagerness for some sort of movement, without any constructive self-criticism – or too much of the latter! On this occasion of intuition I decide to cut off the tale of the spiral (paper version shown here) so that it might emerge from one of the 'veins/branches' as the source of its power, with the effect to be seen in the next post.

This year, we will distribute more than 350,000 lbs of food to our Bluffton and lowcountry neighbors experiencing hunger and food insecurity. Nearly 900 households will be able to put over 285,000 healthy and well balanced meals on the table with the help of neighbors. Thank you for keeping our pantry stocked as our needs continue to grow.
Hosting a BSH Drive or Event can be fun and rewarding! The possibilities are virtually unlimited! You may wonder, what is the difference between a Drive and an Event?
Drives: We think of our Drives as "item-collection opportunities." These are all of the ways people collect food-related or basic need items and bring them to Bluffton Self Help. Drives are a type of event, and help to stock the shelves at Bluffton Self Help with much needed items all year long!
We are all most familiar with canned-food or non-perishable drives, and they are always needed and appreciated. But you or your group can also consider hosting any of the following:
Fundraising Events: Typically, events are fundraising opportunities that bring awareness to our need to help our community. Events are hosted by an individual or community that wants to raise resources for Bluffton Self Help. These activities are often on a larger scale than our Drives, and require more planning and lead-time. When we think of events, we think of committee involvement!
Want some help brainstorming or supporting your event, just give us a call and we will be happy to help.

The man representing the Liberal government in the Senate is stepping down at the end of the year.
Sen. Peter Harder, who shepherded government legislation in the Senate as it began its transition into a more independent and less partisan chamber of sober second thought, will remain a member of the upper house he joined in April 2016.

Liberal representative Sen. Peter Harder, liaison Sen. Grant Mitchell to step down Back to video
Harder is a former senior public servant who led the team that helped the Liberals transition into power after they won the 2015 election.
He was the first senator that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recommended for appointment through a new arm's-length advisory body aimed at finding senators based on merit, rather than patronage.
Harder's dual role as a nominally Independent senator who handled the Liberal government's business has come under criticism from the remaining Conservative senators.
Sen. Grant Mitchell, who has been the government's liaison in the Senate since May 2016 — keeping tabs on senators' views on government legislation, like a whip without the power of party discipline — is also stepping down from that role while remaining a senator.
"Senator Harder and Senator Mitchell led the Senate through a historic period of modernization," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a news release. "They played a vital role examining legislation and advocating for a transparent and accountable Senate that works for all Canadians. I thank them for their outstanding work and service."
