I'm over the moon. My first dress on the cover of Simply Crochet magazine, I would never have imagined! Despite the many days (and one night) to make all the pieces, sewing carefully and finish all the details in time, almost do not believe I did it myself.
I'm the one that crochet mostly toys, who has no patience to make the second sock or second glove, which fails to complete the sleeves of my knitted sweater on hold for six months. Sometimes we must have faith in ourselves and try until we get the goal.
Sixties style with geometric patterns in black and white is the mood of issue 43 of the magazine. It includes socks, gloves, accessories, handbags and my dress; it's a A line tunic, without sleeves, round neckline… in short, a dress for all occasions were it not for the geometrical panel that I loved from the first moment I put the pencil on the paper (thinking about Mary Quant, Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy)
I confess that the love slightly disappeared when I had to sew all the pieces, but in the end the satisfaction was skyrocketing. I hope it will be the same for those who will make it!

Your shopping cart is empty.
Jul 21, 2016
It's 5 a.m., still dark out, and I've just dropped my youngest at the airport.
I can't let these early-morning hours go to waste, I'm thinking to myself as I head back into the city. I walk in the door and fire up the coffee maker. I grab my Nikon with the 24-85mm lens and check to make sure the wide-angle is in my backpack.
I've been itching to explore Sweetwater Creek State Park, and today's the perfect day.
Soon I'm inhaling the rich aroma of my custom brew as tendrils of steam rise from the mug. I love the smell and taste of coffee with a little bit of cream, but need very little caffeine to get myself moving in the morning, thus my mix of 3:1 decaf-caf. The park doesn't open until 7, and it should take a little less than a half-hour to get there, so I can relax for a few minutes.
I've been going a million miles an hour for a while now, and I have to remind myself to slow down. Bauer snuggles into my lap, and I meditate for a few minutes, thanking God for my many blessings amidst the chaos of the last couple of years.
It hasn't been easy.
Nevertheless, I recognize the gifts and realize how much I've grown through the hardships.
Adversity is a powerful tool for growth, but that doesn't always stop me from fantasizing about easy. Easy would be nice every once in a while. But, hard makes me appreciative, and I feel good about how many obstacles I've overcome.
My coffee finished, I walk into my bedroom, peeling off garments as I go. I rummage in my dresser and come up with some workout clothes. July in Georgia.
I'll be sweating anyway, may as well make it a good workout.
Bauer sees the clothes and goes into his daily pre-walk frenzy, jumping up on my bed, back down again and then right back up (my bed is on risers with a 4-inch mattress topper - he has to jump over 3 feet to get up there).
I tell him to calm down, which is also a daily ritual.
A few minutes later, we're in the car.
We arrive exactly at 7.
After paying for parking ($5 - be sure and have cash or check if you go), I take a look at the map and decide on the long way to the creek and ruins.
Bauer and I keep up a good pace together and finally find ourselves at our destination - The ruins are of an old textile mill, the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, that was burned down during the Civil War.
If you saw the Mockingjay installment of The Hunger Games, the area should look familiar. It's quite picturesque, with the exception of the fence that runs the perimeter to keep everyone out - well, almost everyone.
I had a blast this morning taking photos. It was a little cumbersome watching out for Bauer. He loves to be off leash, but I don't dare. He's too crazy when he sees another dog, though we saw only a few people out this morning.
At one point, I put Bauer's leash around a small tree in the shade so I could explore and take pix without him.
He seemed content to take a rest break. He was a trooper. We got out into the middle of the creek by jumping from stone to stone. He fell into the water a couple of times, but he didn't seem to mind much. I was glad I wore my hiking boots. I can't afford to slip with my camera equipment.
Several hours later, Bauer and I were a mess - streaked with sweat and dirt and wet from the creek. But, such a good day we'd had already, and it was only 10 am.

One of the big trends across marketing channels in 2017 is video. Marketers will be using video more for social, on websites, in emails – and at events. As the year kicks off, let's take a look at the trends for video this year.
Live Video Platforms
Periscope, Facebook Live, Instagram Stories, Houseparty… the number and popularity of live video apps are expanding, and you can incorporate their use in events to enhance the way users process their event experience. Imagine the type of engagement and subsequent attendance you could get from a live address by a top speaker. And live broadcasting by attendees will be on the rise as well; maybe you'll even encourage it for event marketing (after all, if people see the excitement they'll want to attend the next one). Don't miss early adopter status on this event tech trend.
Whether it's a shareholder, analyst, or all-hands meeting, or a streaming keynote for your user conference, sharing your broadcast with people anywhere, on any device, in real-time, is critical in today's connected world. Where the apps discussed above work well on the low-end, when you needed a custom-branded solution with seamless polling options, you should collaborate with experts and look at platforms like BlueJeans, Cisco, YouTube Red, Sonic Foundry, or even NASDAQ, which provides a service for its stock exchange customers. When evaluating these solutions, it's important to look at cost, quality, and reliability to find one with a balance that fits your unique needs. Webcasting has been popular for some time, and as travel budgets are ever-shrinking and remote working becomes de rigueur, it continues its status as a significant trend.
Virtual Speaker / Presenter
There are some very forward events using holograms (think Tupac giving a concert from the great beyond) for speakers and presenters who aren't available in person, or as virtual greeters. But if this seems a bit too Star Trek for you (or outside your budget), the webcasting technology described above can allow your perfect speaker to be at the conference virtually just as easily as it can allow those around the world to attend your conference. Why settle for your second choice in speaker just to have that person live? 99.9% of your attendees never get within 100 feet of that person anyway! Virtual presenters will be a reliable option in 2017.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Consensus says: 2017 is the year that after a decade of talking about it, this is the year VR/AR make it into events. While it may be a sponsor on the exhibit floor that steps in here and uses Virtual Reality as a unique demo experience, this could also be another great way to enhance that virtual presenter experience, create a sponsorship opportunity, and drive excitement for a session at the same time. Have the first 250 people into a session get virtual reality headsets to be "in the room" with your virtual speaker, sponsored by "X."
Video + Sound + Lighting = Experience
This year is all about the experience. It's personal, it's imaginative, it's captivating. If you're not quite ready for virtual reality, you can still create a powerful experience with a combination of multi-screen video, booming surround sound, and lighting complimenting each other to put the user inside a story. If you want an example of how this could work for you, let's talk!

A comprehensive resource for safe and responsible laser use
US: New Jersey governor vetos bill to ban laser pointer sales
In his veto message, Christie noted that the New Jersey bill would have gone "well beyond" the federal government's 5 milliwatt limit for laser pointers. He said there was no criminal use of lasers between 1 and 5 mW in New Jersey. Christie indicated the bill was "arbitrary" and interfered with lawful commerce of pointers typically used in business presentations. (See full text below, after the "Read More…" link.)
The bill was first submitted in November 2010, in response to ongoing problems in Ocean City, N.J. and other beach resort towns where widespread laser pointer sales in boardwalk shops were leading to harassment incidents and aircraft illuminations. The bill, A3169/S418, passed the state Senate on August 19 2013 by a vote of 36-1. It had previously passed the General Assembly on June 24 2013 by a vote of 70-7, with one abstention.

- August 20 2013: New Jersey state legislature passes bill to ban laser pointer sales above 1 mW; sends bill to Governor for signature.
- October 17 2013: Governor Chris Christie vetoes bill to ban laser pointer sales, saying the 1 mW power limit was "arbitrary" and there was no criminal use of lasers between 1 mW and the federal limit of 5 mW in New Jersey.
Below is the full text of the Governor's letter to the Senate, describing why he vetoed the bill:
October 17, 2013
(Second Reprint)
To the Senate:
Pursuant to Article V, Section I, Paragraph 14 of the New Jersey Constitution, I am returning Senate Bill No. 418 (Second Reprint) without my approval.
This bill prohibits the sale of laser pointers that exceed one milliwatt in output power. Current federal regulations allow for the sale to consumers of laser pointers with outputs up to five milliwatts.
Presumably, the purpose of this bill is to deter the dangerous misuse of laser pointers. State and federal lawmakers, however, have already acted to prevent that misconduct. For example, New Jersey has enacted stringent penalties that criminalize aiming laser pointers at any vehicle, including an airplane. These state criminal penalties impose strict punishment of up to five to ten years in prison for a second-degree offense where the act causes serious bodily injury. In addition, federal law imposes criminal penalties for the dangerous misuse of a laser pointer, including fines, and up to five years in prison. Together, these existing state and federal criminal penalties are an important deterrent to the dangerous misuse of laser pointers.
This bill, however, goes well beyond the federal standards and would ban a whole class of one- to five-milliwatt laser pointers currently for sale at office supply stores as well as by the largest online retailers in the United States. Indeed, this legislation would ban the sale of one of the most common classes of consumer laser pointers, which are not typically used by criminals, but by business professionals to deliver presentations. Tellingly, the Legislature points to no instance of this class of laser pointer being used by even a single criminal in New Jersey.
For these reasons, placing the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs in charge of enforcing sales restrictions that exceed federal standards is not likely to deter dangerous conduct, but instead will interfere with otherwise lawful commerce within New Jersey. The criminal laws already protecting New Jersey residents from the dangerous misuse of laser pointers would not be bolstered by an arbitrary one-milliwatt sales restriction that is inconsistent with federal standards.
Accordingly, I herewith return Senate Bill No. 418 (Second Reprint) without my approval.
/s/ Chris Christie

WWW Wednesday
Happy … Hump Day?
Is it seriously already Wednesday? That's weird. This week seems to be just blazing by for me, so time just doesn't make sense right now. But yeah, happy Wednesday!
So like usual, today I'm posting my reads.
Every Wednesday I participate in this great little meme called WWW Wednesday.
This meme is a challenge where you simply share what you're reading, what you've recently finished, and what you hope to read in the near future.
The meme is currently handled by Taking On A World of Words, and anybody can participate.
Simply read the 3 W questions below and answer them should you want to:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you'll read next?
Currently Reading:
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute… and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
Opinion so far:
Yay for new release reads! I've been excited about this book for months!
Truth be told, I've been blazing through reads this week and just finished something last night, so I have not started this just yet, but it's next up.
I've heard a lot of great things about this book, so I can't wait to dig in. Who doesn't love some Hunger Games? *grabs knife, fork, and bib* Hahaha
Recently Finished:
Rachel is falling apart. Literally. Her newest morph the ability to regenerate its limbs, but when Rachel demorphs there's a lot more Rachel than when she started out. One more Rachel, to be exact. Rachel is an okay person to have around. But two could be considered overkill. Especially two Rachels with completely opposite personalities: one is pathetically weak; one is super strong and super nasty.Now the Animorphs have to figure out a way to put Rachel back together again. Because if it's up to the "twins, " Rachel the weak will surrender to Visser Three. Rachel the super bold will try to single-handedly take him down. And twice the trouble may be twice as much as the other Animorphs and Ax can handle….
My Opinion:
This one joins the meh bus unfortunately. While the premise seemed interesting, the characterization and plot didn't quite work for me. Don't get me wrong, this is still entertaining. I mean, two Rachels? Holy cannoli!
Animorphs #32, The Separation Review
Next on my TBR:
Opinion so far:
First and foremost, I want to test out another Tammie Painter short story. I loved the Space Walk story, so I'm curious how I'll feel about this one.
After that, it's keeping up with my Animorphs reads. This one I actually recall from my childhood, so I'm curious to see how it holds up.
Last but certainly not least is Spirit Hunters #2. As much as I want to blitz into Murderbot #5, I need to pace myself with my reads for balance, so I think reading this before that will work well in my favor. Also, this seems to be the last book in this series and I'm all about finishing what I start these days.
Wish me luck!
That's a Wrap!
Okay folks, that's my WWW Wednesday for this week.
What does your reading pile look like? Have you read any of the books on my list? Do you have any opinions or feedback on the books I chose? Feel free to share in the comments, and don't forget to subscribe or follow my bookish journeys!

Are you one of the many brides and grooms considering teeth whitening? Consider this: your smile is the first thing that people notice about you and the last thing you want to overlook on your big day!
Both bride and groom should schedule a dental checkup about six months before your wedding day, says the representative of Alaska Dental Associates. This allows time to handle any pesky problems and to see if teeth-whitening is something for you to consider. Remember, you will be photographed more on this day than in any other time in your life.
There are several types of teeth whitening, none of which are terribly expensive and can make a huge difference in your appearance and confidence level for the day.
Laser Whitening– Done in the dentist's office, allow 3 hours and approximately $400. It is not a painful proces and will leave you with Movie Star teeth after one visit.
Trays – The dentist makes a mold of your teeth which takes about a half hour and then you can do the whitening at home. Expect to spend roughly $20o for the tray and initial whitening solution. The bonus is you can keep getting refills of the solution and keep your teeth white forever!
Strips – Many over-the-counter strips boast dentist office results. Yes, they do work and the price varies. With these strips, it may seem like you are saving money but, over the course of time you will spend nearly as much as if you had visited the dentist. The bonus is that it can be done at your convenience, some can even be done while you are sleeping.
It is extremely important for brides and grooms-to-be to do a little research, talk with your dental professional and come up with a solution that works for you.
Make sure to check our Wedding Directory links to find a smile professional in your area.

iPhone Pull Down to Refresh Globally Accessible HUDs. Should We Focus on User Experience? In the next seven minutes or so, this article hopes to convince you that our current notion of UX design mistakenly focuses on experience, and that we should go one step further and focus on the memory of an experience instead.
Studies of behavioral economics have changed my entire perspective on UX design, causing me to question basic tenets. This has led to ponderings like: "Is it possible that trying to create 'great experiences' is pointless?" Nobel Prize-winning research seems to hint that it is. Via concrete examples, additional research sources, and some initial how-to tips, I aim to illustrate why and how we should recalibrate our UX design processes. Imagine Two Scenarios.

The 10 Types of Startup Press Release. Press releases are one of the most effective ways of keeping journalists, investors and potential investors up to date with what's going on at your company.
By creating and maintaining this relationship, your chances of being covered in the media or being approached by investors / partners increases exponentially. Sending a press release is different to writing blog posts. On your company blog you might write all sorts of content for marketing purposes or inform users of product tweaks etc - content that is valuable to your immediate audience but not "newsworthy" to a greater audience. And in fact, reaching out to journalists with non-newsworthy announcements can be counter-productive to creating a relationship.
So what is newsworthy? 1) We've launched Your company launch is the first time you'll think about sending a press release. What pain point are you solving and why? 2) We've rolled out an amazing new feature. How did you find your early adopters? Running Marketing Tests with a Purpose. Over the past few years, marketing on the web has become way too much fun.
I remember trying to figure out what "hits" on awstats meant in high school, and I distinctly can recall how disappointed I was when I found out the true meaning. Nowadays, we have a plethora of useful programs that provide deep insight into how visitors use web applications. Many of these programs have a fire hose of data, and it can seem very daunting. I've been reading Lean Analytics, and it's caused me to question some of my habits as a marketer. The first and most important thing that I've been reminded of, is that marketing on the web is all about running experiments based on intuition.
In short, I believe marketing has become much less risky. With this new style of marketing, I believe it's important to keep track and learn from every experiment (and also keep record).

Joe Frazier's Gym
Smokin' Joe Frazier is arguably the most popular boxer in Philadelphia sports history. Tributes to Frazier stand throughout the city, including a 12-foot bronze statue in front of Xfinity Live in South Philadelphia. An important part of Joe Frazier's legacy sits at 2917 N. Broad Street in North Philadelphia.
The 1895 constructed building, now used as a furniture store, once housed Joe Frazier's Gym. The converted dance hall became a training facility for Joe Frazier under the name of Cloverlay Gym in 1968. The name Cloverlay came from the name of the group that funded Frazier's training as a professional. Cloverlay, Inc. was a group of local Philadelphia investors with backgrounds in education, the clergy, banking, and law. In 1973, Frazier purchased all of the shares in Cloverlay, Inc. and changed the name of the gym to Joe Frazier's Gym.
Born in Beaufort, South Carolina in 1944, Frazier settled in Philadelphia as teenager. The city became his home, and as his boxing accolades as a professional stacked up, he gained a large fan base. At the 1964 Olympic Games, Frazier captured a Gold Medal in the heavyweight division for the United States. Frazier fought professionally from 1965 to 1981 and retired with an impressive record of 32 wins, four losses, and one draw. During his career, Frazier held the World Heavyweight Championship from 1970 to 1973. Joe Frazier is best remembered by sports fans worldwide for his fierce rivalry with Muhammad Ali. The two men fought a trilogy of fights against one another between 1971 and 1975. His 15 round unanimous decision victory over Ali in 1971 at Madison Square Garden is known as the "Fight of the Century."
Following his retirement from boxing, Frazier trained the next generation of boxers at his gym. National Gold Gloves Heavyweight Champion Duane Bobick and 1996 Olympic Bronze Medalist Terrance Cauthen both trained at Joe Frazier's Gym. Joe Frazier had 11 children. Marvis, Jacqui, and Joe Jr. (Hector) all trained and fought professionally out of their father's gym. Jacqui held titles in multiple weight classes. Most importantly, Joe Frazier's Gym served as a safe haven from the dangers of the streets for local youth. Frazier taught youth boxing skills and encouraged them to live productive lives.
In 2008, after putting most of his time and fortune into the gym, Frazier was forced to close the gym due to debt and back taxes. Frazier was diagnosed with liver cancer in September 2011, and died from the disease on November 7, 2011 in Philadelphia. Upon hearing about his death, his longtime adversary Muhammad Ali exclaimed, "The world has lost a great champion. I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration."
Since Frazier's death, there have been plans amongst people in the boxing community to acquire the building to be used again for boxing purposes. Philadelphia boxing legend Bernard Hopkins hopes one day to open a boxing gym and community center in the building. He believes that such a project will be a fitting tribute to the legacy of Joe Frazier. Joe Frazier's Gym was added to the National Register of Historic Place in 2013. The addition of the building to the Register ensures that this important piece of Philadelphia sports history will be preserved for future generations of Philadelphians and boxing fans.

Of course today is April Fools Day, and all sorts of shenanigans are about. This is why I ran my Friday Funny yesterday, because I didn't want it taken for a prank. With Carbon Tax proponents, it's just another day of pulling the wool over your eyes. Today, an outfit called "Carbon Pulse" created a fake news story saying Donald Trump wants to pass a carbon tax to pay for a wall on the Mexican border.
A nationwide carbon tax could raise enough revenues to fund the construction of a wall between the US and Mexico, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump announced Friday morning in a surprise policy U-turn on the climate change issue.
Yeah right, it doesn't pass the smell test.
Here's a screencap of the article.
A couple of outlets picked it up, and there's been some Twitterring about it.
If they'd bother to read the last line of the PR story, they'd notice:
Some more details on Trump's and Cruz's proposals can be found by spelling out the two words formed using the first letter of every paragraph in this story.
That of course spells "April Fools".
Of course, there's a far easier way than a tax, just sell carbon credits to the gullible:
All your need is a printer, some certificate paper, and this website.

Mac King is a household name not only in Las Vegas, but in the entire United States of America. At the mention of the name, many might break into bouts of infectious laughter, while others might have a look of adoration on their faces. This is not anything out of the usual, seeing that this is the name of one of the greatest magic comedians in history. Mac King is certainly the best magic comedian in the entire world, a stand that even the Guinness World Record Book seems to agree with. Time after time, Mac King has been crowned with some award or other thanks to his sterling performances that leave his fans in awe of his talent every time he performs. But first, who is Mac King?
Mac King, King of Comedy Magic Shows
Mac King is a magician, illusionist, actor and writer. He was born on the 2nd of December, 1959, and is currently 56 years old. He resides in Las Vegas, in the state of Nevada. Interestingly, both of Mac's grandfathers showed keen interest in magic; they were in fact amateur magicians. Little wonder their grandson is so talented at what he does. In fact, his interest in performing magical tricks started early in his life; as early as when he was ten years old. By the time he was in college, he was performing three magical shows a day over his summer breaks. So great was his passion in performing magic that he endured school, got a degree in anthropology, and still chose magic over conventional employment. This kind of relentless determination to make souls happy using tricks and illusions has certainly paid off in the long run, seeing that he is currently the most sought after magic comedians of all time.
Mac King Shows
Mac King hosts numerous shows, both on television and live performances. As far as television is concerned, Mac co- hosts several shows. He is in fact the only magic comedian who features in all the five NBC's specials, a feat unachieved by any other magic comedian. In his show, The World's Greatest Magic he teaches his audience a simple magical effect before and after the show, in a segment known as Mac King School of Magic. His tricks are known to be simple yet captivating and entertaining. After all, isn't simplicity the mark of genius?
On the other hand, Mac is a thriving sensation as far as live performances are concerned. His base of operation is predictably his home city, Las Vegas. Most of his shows are held at the Harrah's, in the Clint Holmes Theater, although every once in a while he does hold shows elsewhere. The overwhelming turn out for Mac King Magical show, Vegas, is undeniable proof that this magic prodigy knows how to keep an audience engaged, and this he does with apparent ease. He is a man who knows how to perfectly blend magic with humor; thrill with laughter, and this is why you should make a point to attend at least one Mac King Magical Show Vegas, where you will be able to witness for yourself the incredible talent that Mac possesses.
Why Should You Attend Mac King Comedy Magic show Vegas?
Anyone who has a sense of humor will tell that Mac's shows are worth every single coin you spend on them. They are memorable, family- friendly shows that are way above average. Here are several reasons why when planning for an afternoon with family, attending one of these shows is a must- do:
First and very obviously is the fact that Mac King's Magical shows are thoroughly entertaining. You really should see Mac performing his gold fish trick, one that has become synonymous with him. He can literally make gold fish appear out of someone's mouth, or even over their head. Advanced magic, isn't it? Plus, Mac owns a cloak of invisibility just like Harry Potter does, only that Mac's is a yellow raincoat. The tricks that Mac can perform with this cloak often leave the audience holding their breath, or letting out gasps of terror as he does his thing. Nothing spells entertaining better, or is there?
Moreover, Mac is a very good- natured person. He loves to engage his audience as he performs, which endears him all the more to his audience. This is one way of completely abolishing boredom, because an actively engaged audience is highly likely to pay rapt attention to whatever you have to say. And better still, Mac commands the attention of his audience merely by his tricks and effects, not to mention his constant jokes. Can things get any better? So friendly is Mac that at the end of his shows, he takes time to interact one on one with his fans, signing autographs and taking photos. If only for this reason, Mac's shows are certainly a must- attend. Who gets to share the limelight with a celebrity with such ease?
Mac the Author
Mac has co- authored several magic books that instruct readers on how to perform simple magic tricks. So basic are these tricks that they require no other equipment other than the performers own body, although there are several advanced tricks included in these books too. These books are Tricks with Your Head, Campfire Magic and The Great Ol' Book- o Magic. These very interesting books are a must read for those who intend to further interact with the funny man who can work magic like nobody's business.
Some may dismiss Mac for his choice of cloth, because he likes to clad old school, but this has absolutely no bearing on his theatrical performances. He is a man worth your time, attention ad money; his shows always rock. If you are wondering what to do in one of those free afternoons when you literally have nothing to do, save yourself boredom and attend one Mac King's Comedy Magic show Vegas. It is a decision that you will certainly not regret; if anything, you will be waiting on bated breath for another show by Mac. Fun, thrilling, absolutely amazing, astounding and truly magical, these shows have certainly earned the fame that is all theirs. Mac King Comedy Magic show Vegas shows is certainly the place to be if you intend to have quality fun and entertainment, which is appropriate for people of all ages.

SGGS Student Secures 1 of Only 20 Places Available
A-level student Orlanda Stephens has secured a sought-after two-week work placement in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany. She is one of only 20 students from across the country to have won a fully funded place on the programme awarded by the Goethe Institut London.
The town of Schwäbisch Hall is a hub for learning, attracting close to 2,000 students every year from around the world to study the German language. A number of companies and organisations in the town host students to introduce them to the world of work and help them understand the practical details of their profession.
The students taking part in this work experience programme, including Orlanda, will join a small or medium-sized company and use their language skills to take part in daily operations. Each afternoon, a cultural programme will give insight into discovering local surroundings and diving into German culture.
Orlanda said, "When I got the email saying I had been accepted for the work experience placement in Germany, I was overjoyed! I had always hoped I would receive a place but it was still a huge shock. I have fallen in love with the German language and German culture. I am very grateful for the opportunity to improve my language skills in a working environment, alongside others who are also passionate about the language."
Liz Stringer, Head of German at SGGS, says, "This is a great example of the fantastic opportunities available to student when studying Modern Foreign Languages. Orly has done amazingly well to win a place on this scheme and we are all excited to see how she gets on."
Currently scheduled for October 2020 it is possible this event will be postponed due to COVID-19. We will update our blog with more information once Orlanda has been able to complete her experience.

Kristen Bell spoke from the heart and got emotional while discussing her husband Dax Shepard's addict past on the Sunday, July 24, episode of CBS's Sunday Morning.
The 36-year-old actress, who wed Shepard, 41, in 2013 in a tiny Beverly Hills courthouse, admitted that it hasn't always been easy for the Parenthood alum, but that she's proud of the ways in which he works to stay sober.
"He's a wonderful father," she said during the interview. "He knows the value of things. He was an addict for many, many years, and he pulled himself out of it, and he's been sober for 11, 12 years now. … And he knows how many times he's messed up and how many times he's been really close to losing everything."
The pair share daughters Lincoln, 3, and Delta, 18 months. Bell added that one thing the two have in common is that they put family first.
"I always think, if I'm on my deathbed, what am I gonna be thinking about?" the Bad Moms actress said. "And it won't be some random movie I participated in, or some TV show. It will be my family."
Shepard has been open about his drug use in the past, and in a 2012 interview with Playboy, he admitted that at one point, his drug and alcohol use was so out of control that he was "lucky that I didn't go to jail."
"I just loved to get f–ked up — drinking, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, diet pills, pain pills, everything," he said at the time. "Mostly my love was Jack Daniel's and cocaine. … Kristen's a good girl. All the things I'd done were terrifying to her, and she had a hard time believing I would ever be able to stay married and monogamous and a father and all those things. For the first year and a half we were together, that was what we battled over almost weekly."

Making money is complicated enough without having to search an entire stack of folders for that one important piece of paper you forgot you needed. If you run your own business, you'll be familiar with the hectic gymnastics your mind goes through all the time in order to remember every tiny yet vital detail that keeps your hard work from collapsing under its own weight. That's why all the tricks and tips for simplifying your paperwork and decreasing that intimidating workload are so staggeringly precious. Your sanity will thank you.
Tip One: Delegate
This isn't to suggest you should shirk all the responsibilities that naturally come with running a business or working with employees. There are better ways of delegating than simply palming off your least favorite tasks onto the poor colleague who can't say no. Instead of making an unpleasant reputation for yourself, consider delegating the more tedious aspects of your work to online resources that are designed specially to help you. Formatting and filling out every employee pay stub, for example, is a task you needn't waste your time with when the perfectly capable W2 generator is ready and waiting to assist. All you have to do is enter the relevant details and it'll happily do the rest, saving you some valuable time to get on with other jobs.
Tip Two: Digitize
Some people are terrified of change. As the world's technology becomes smarter and more pervasive people seem to grow more and more suspicious of it. What they don't realize is that this very technology has been designed deliberately to make their lives easier, including yours. Gone are the days when it was expected and reasonable to need huge filing cabinets and an entire forest's worth of paper just to keep track of your money. Online banking, streamlined email services, and social media – to name only three – are all incredibly simple ways of managing your business and time without distracting you from your real-life goals. Keep in touch with important contacts without having to wait for them to be near the phone. Of course, certain tasks are more enjoyable to complete on paper for aesthetic or relaxation reasons, but spare yourself the tedium and stress of trying to manage an entire business in pen and ink. Take advantage of the perks of living in this technological period and save yourself the trouble of getting papercuts every time you need to take notes in a meeting.
Tip Three: Don't Procrastinate
Be smart with your laziness. The cleverest way to maximize your free time while saving and making money is to know exactly what you need to do, when it needs to be done by, and making sure you have done it well in advance. Give yourself the luxury of knowing that, although the looming deadline is getting closer and closer, you don't need to worry. You've already taken care of it, and there's nothing left to do except relax and prepare your mind for the next inevitable challenge. Being prepared means less scraps of disorganized paper and rushed notes that only serve to distract from the real work. Knowing you have already considered everything means your work only takes up the space it needs to, instead of spilling out of drawers and files. You'll feel better and, in turn, be more successful.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 1, 2013 Artspace 201 E. Davie St. Raleigh, NC 27601 http://www.artspacenc.org
CONTACT: Artspace firstname.lastname@example.com 919.821.2787
Nsenga Knight's Ritual and Revolution on Display in Artspace's Lobby Exhibition Dates: August 2-31 Opening Reception: First Friday Gallery Walk, August 2, 2013, 6-10pm Artist Talk: August 15, 6-7:30pm Raleigh, N.C. – Raleigh, N.C. – Regional Emerging Artist-in-Residence (REAR) Nsenga Knight will exhibit her work for the month of August in a solo exhibition, Ritual and Revolution, as a conclusion of her six-month residency at Artspace, a non-profit visual art center in Raleigh. This concept-driven artist explores abstraction and conceptual art in a range of media as they inform and coincide with traditional Islamic Art. She explains, "My work expands upon the common aesthetic and theoretical concerns of the conceptual arts movement of the late 60s and 70s, performance, minimalism, abstract expressionism, and both Western and Islamic geometrical abstraction; and reflects my interest in ritual, subjectivity, history, archiving and intervention." Knight's work explores concepts including unity in multiplicity, repetition, and transformation of forms. An identical twin, Knight developed an interest in multiples that appear similar but have distinctions. The seriality expresses itself with systems, like those made historic by Conceptual American artist Sol Lewitt (1928 – 2007). She used her residency to continue working on her Last Rite project, which is "an interdisciplinary visual art project whose narrative pivots between Malcom X's pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964 (his fulfillment of his last religious duty) and his funeral rites – the final ritual regarding his physical presence on earth." In a series of new drawings, Knight stencils words excerpted from the book Hajj (The Pilgrimage) by Dr. Ali Shariati. She layers the quotes and produces each set in a series of four, painted in oil stick and mixed media. The order of text, and direction it is written in, follows a system. One layer is top to bottom, left to right, with every other line going upside down; another layer is in a circular direction. In one series of four, the first layer of text is painted in white, and the next layer in black; in another series, the first layer is black, the next layer white. In one evocative iteration, the first layer is black, and the next layer is done with olive oil, so the stenciled letters are partially transparent and take some of the black oil paint from the first layer of words. Among the quotes that Knight uses from Shariati's text, Hajj, are "as a butterfly who encircles the candle until it burns, its ashes are gone with the wind, disappearing in love and dying in light." The language used demonstrates the complexity and beauty inherent in Islamic culture, and ways in which contemporary visual art can help others learn more about it. An artist talk with Nsenga Knight and Rose Aslan, PhD candidate of Religious Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, will be held at Artspace on August 15, 6-7:30pm. Knight has a M.F.A. in Photography and Cinema Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A. in Film Production from Howard University. Her recent exhibitions include The First Year, Galveston
Arts Center, Galveston, TX, Muslim Voices of Philadelphia, International House, Philadelphia, PA, and Reading with Jamal Cyrus, New Museum, New York, NY. For more information, contact Artspace at http://www.artspacenc.org or 919.821.2787.

Ok… Where was I?
I'm actually meant to be packing, but you don't pass high school without a proper education in procrastination. So continuing from my previous post, I'm now backing up to two weeks ago, and I was working my way around New York. After the night before and my bright and vivid introduction to Time Square (see below) I went off to explore NYC in daylight (in some areas, you could be confused what is the sun and what is a neon light). My first task of the day was to pick up a New York Pass. They are brilliant. If anything, they get you to the front of ticket lines (unfortunately, not security lines – keep that in mind) and if you are determined to get value for money, you can race through all the attractions that it entitles you to.
And the first thing on the list was the Guggenheim museum. It may as well have been closed for the season, with only 3 of the five floors opened as the other two was sealed off as they put in a new exhibit. But the stairwell looked cool. The white paint, outstanding. Apart from that, all I seemed to take interest in was the walls of one dollar notes (that was one of the works of art on display). So a quick race around the museum (spent a good 8 minutes) and off I went to the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island.
Hitching a ride downtown on the subway (tip: I may not have mentioned before – buy a weekly unlimited ride metro pass, much more value for money than the pay as you go card. Thing about the subway is that it costs two dollars something, irrespective of how far you travel. If you intend on using the subway to get around, your $10 pay as you go card will only serve you 4 trips) down to South Ferry it was just after midday, on a warm Sunday… Not the best time to go to Liberty Island. Weather and views fantastic – crowds of people were not. On arrival the line went from the ferry and weaved in and around the park. If you remember what I wrote above, the New York pass was great in getting the ticket, but this line I speak of was the security check line. Yes, Heathrow airport faced a formidable opponent.
"Airport-like" security they bragged… Difference of course is that getting on a plane takes you further than across the Hudson river. Shoes, belts and apparently jewellery off. Bags checked and persons frisked, to get on a boat that takes from the pier to Liberty Island to see the oxydized-copper lady. One hour and forty minutes from joining the line to security check. But it wasn't as bad as the four girls ahead of me that had pre-booked online for a 2pm ride. They had stood in line with us, only to realize they were in the wrong line. They were allowed to join another security line that was much shorter. So take note if you book ahead!
I think they Statue was pretty cool. You'll have to line up yourself to see whether it's worth the wait – I don't want to deny you that experience. If you saw Hamish and Andy's gap year where their prank was to talk someone out of seeing it when they had waited in line, you would appreciate how hard that gag was to pull off!
The ferry also spins around to Ellis island, where a museum stands where immigration processing was once operational for boats of immigrants trying to come to America. With stories of mandatory health and background security checks – walking around and seeing what was on display (and excuse the political reference), but in talking to another Australian traveller they tossed up whether one day Christmas Island or Nauru was going to be a tourist destination just like Ellis Island.
Off the ferry and up to Wall Street. Much of the street was blocked off with intense security to keep the occupants in line (no one was protesting yet). I have no concept of economics, but thinking back, there was a strange feeling that a lot of the world's money and people's livelihood sat on that street. Being a Sunday, I didn't get to meet anyone in a suit that could give me their loose million dollar change – so that goes back on the bucket list.
I finished the day with a trip back to midtown to Rockefeller square and to Top of the Rock where I got to see the sun setting over New York. It was amazing. I don't think my camera does any justice to the view – probably because night shots are not its greatest strength. If you want a great experience, Top of the Rock at around 5pm (or 6:30ish in summer) is the best thing to do in NYC.
You could write a whole blog alone on New York, but fortunately for you, I'm not doing that. But also fortunately for you, there'll be another post on NYC shortly.
In the meantime, back to packing.

An insight of a man fighting Cancer
9 February 2018
This is Robs latest post ????????
Okey dokey, my long delayed update and promised anniversary summary.
Perusing my last update I mentioned upcoming surgery which took place near the end of November. Day surgery turned into major surgery and to say I was a little miffed when I woke up with tubes out of most orifices would be an understatement. It made for a miserable December, being for the most part bedridden.
Beginning of January signalled a slow turnaround of sorts. Things still aren't great but there is some improvement.
In the immortal words of Tim Rogers, 'I'm thinner than I should be', tipping the scales at a whopping 70 kilos. I'm still vomiting although not on the previous scale. I'm limited on the volume of food my body will allow me to eat. The amount of muscle wastage still has me weak as a kitten but I'm better than I was.
In short, I'm slowly getting stronger. It's a very long road but I'm ALIVE, a subject I'll address in a moment.
Prior to my trip to New Zealand I had to obtain the all clear from my Oncologist which was timed with scans, being end of January.
Result of scans was again positive. Big boy is still unchanged and secondaries are either the same or have shrunk a bit.
In a nutshell, the Clinical trial is working a treat. What we need now is the rest of the body to play ball, but as the Oncologist said, with all that's happened to it, it's a wonder it functions at all. Like me, my body is too stupid to know when it's beat. We'll see.
Funnily enough surgery time coincided with the prognosis anniversary, 2 years since the news was broken to us.
I'm long since supposed to have left this mortal coil, so to say I'm pleased with myself would be another understatement. I'm not given to bouts of braggadocio but I will allow myself this one. Given what I've been forced to endure, especially this last 9 months a serious "Fuck you Cancer" is in order.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If not for my family and friends, I can honestly say I would have given up the ghost a long time ago.
I know you say I'm strong but there have been many many quiet moments when it's all seemed hopeless. Sometimes it's like I'm sending out a telepathic signal, because around that time someone wants to meet up and chat.
There are a lot of you, too numerous to mention but I feel I must at least name and shame my serial pests.
Shannon Arnold , Scott Nicholls , Dean Richens , you three in varying degrees have kept on me, drawing me away from all my vain attempts at self pity. I'll have my revenge upon you, just you wait. One day you'll want to feel sorry for yourself and I'll be there to lift you up. Aaah, vengance be mine.
Mention must be made to NSW Police Force, Wollongong Local Area Command. The amount of care and compassion I've received has been completely humbling.
All staff at Wollongong, downstairs to upstairs have been nothing short of magnificent.
The admin staff have pretty much taken care of everything for me, nothing is too hard. Life is so much easier with my blue family in my corner.
Coming up. Well since I managed NZ my next target is Bali in March with serial pests Shannon Arnold , Stew Art , and Scott Nicholls. Should be a quiet one.
Next is Uluru in May. My crazy wife Kathryn Bailey is doing the Larapinta track walk for 'Chris O'Brien Lifehouse ' which is 5 days. We'll meet her up there and take her poor exhausted body back to Uluru and a bit of resort living for a few days.
Phew!! Still here.
So, here I am, over two years down the track. Still alive and kicking despite the best efforts of this miserable disease. I'll admit it, there's been very hard times, times which make you question everything and whether it's worth it and times you're ready to give up.
As they say in The Shawshank Redemption (mine and pretty much every mans favourite movie),
"Get busy living or get busy dying."
I think I'm managing both quite well thank you very much.
Well, if you silly buggers are still here for the ride, then I may as well stick around for a bit longer.
Talk to you all later.

'True gentleman': Much-loved Wollongong cop Robert Sasagi dies
Cydonee Mardon
Police officer Robert Sasagi knew his time had run out. He'd had ups and downs during his three-year cancer battle, but this time it was the real thing, the "Real McCoy".
He'd known it for a few weeks. He wrote it down in a post he asked his wife Kath to share once he had gone.
The much-loved Wollongong cop died on Sunday, but not before spending one last birthday on Friday with his wife and children. And not before his NSW Police Force colleagues showed one last sign of respect.
Wollongong commander Superintendent Chris Craner paid a personal visit to Constable Sasagi's bedside in Austinmer on Friday to deliver news he had been promoted to senior constable.
Supt Craner said Rob was considered a "senior mentor for the troops", had worked as a senior investigator and deserved the promotion.
The boss made a special application to NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and had it approved post-haste.
"It's an emotional time for his family and colleagues and it's important that he was appropriately recognised," Supt Craner told the Mercury.
Word of the senior constable's death spread quickly, with tributes flowing from police and members of the broader community.
A keen footy player, the Wollongong Police Falcons said the world had lost one of its greats.
"He will be remembered as the true gentleman that he was and one of the toughest blokes I know to pull on a Falcons jersey," the club said.
A career highlight was Rob's 2014 commendation for brave conduct. Whilst off-duty, he witnessed a man clutch a bloodied arm on a passenger train. He disarmed the offender and detained her until on-duty police arrived.
According to his wife Kath, Rob wanted to spend his last days at home and she felt lucky his wish came true. She shared on Facebook the post he had prepared.
"The problem when suddenly faced with your own mortality is timing," he wrote.
"Initially, you think you have no time to do everything you planned to do with your life. Then you think you have plenty of time. Time to tell people the important things … Now arrives the time when the newest scare returns.
"It's not a matter of timing, I know there's none left. I won't tell you not to be sad, because if it were any of you, I'd be sad. Just know that I'm at ease and have come to terms with it."
So sad RIP you died a hero to humanity. Janet Selby, Albion Park
Dear Rob. It saddens me to hear that you are no longer with us mate, but I am releaved that you are now at peace. I will miss our morning discussions about our belovered Parramatta Eels.

Timeless. Classic. Modern.
West Coast Contemporary. Whichever words you use to describe the style esthetic of these homes at The Grove and Yarrow Point, you are right. From large bright tile work, custom cabinetry, and exquisite finishing, to the large windows used in place of upper cabinets, these homes are unique.
The Grove, by Greenbank Development and Milestones Northwest is a community development located on Mercer Island approximately 7 miles from downtown Seattle. Some Mercer Island inhabitants are commonly referred to as "Urban Sophisticates".
Urban Sophisticates can be explained as professional, cultured and educated citizens who have more urban tastes but choose to live in smaller communities outside of big cities. Modern design and architecture reside high on these specific home owners list of priorities.
Yarrow point, a second location Milestones Northwest and Green Bank Development have been working on, is located 9 miles from Seattle Washington, and has a population of just over 1000 residents. It is a young and vibrant new community.
When Greenbank Development & Milestone Northwest were interviewing companies to partner with on this development, style and finish were key components in deciding who would best fit with this west coast styled build on Mercer Island.
The stage was set for Westeck Windows and Doors and our unique ultra modern paint offerings. The textured matte full finish meshed perfectly with this west coast contemporary designed property.
From planning, to installation, and now seeing the finished product, the attention to detail give to the design styling, are second to none.
Projects like this inspire us daily. What's Your Style?

Next time I have the opportunity to teach Greek, I'm going to ask the students to watch this video, not because I need them to know about English dialects, but because it's helpful to know how dialects change and are formed (HT: Dave Black Online).
One of my more interesting experiences with phonetics came in Hungary where I went on a couple of mission trips. I was trying to learn Hungarian words. Now in print, this isn't all that difficult, but both vowel and consonant length, i.e. the length of time the sound is held, are phonemic in Hungarian. What I was taught about vowel length in elementary school isn't really "length" but rather a change in the sound, in which the length itself is rarely phonemic. What I found particularly difficult was lengthening a vowel with accenting the syllable. I got nowhere with that. Of course, anyone who actually speaks Hungarian may be able to correct my "short term mission" knowledge of the subject!
But my purpose in making Greek students listen to this would be to build flexibility. I've found people who have not spent significant time in a foreign language don't realize the difference in the range of sounds and how they apply to meaning, or how easily a regional dialect can develop.

Now that the first year of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is almost over, it's no surprise that a lot of the conversation at the UNC Water and Health Conference this week has centred on how WASH-related targets (mostly within Goal 6) will be met and, in particular, how they will be monitored. The complexity (and sheer number) of targets appear to be nothing short of a monitoring nightmare, but one which many in the field have enthusiastically embraced as an opportunity to build on previous monitoring processes.
Representatives from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) kicked off the week with a presentation focused on the sanitation and hygiene targets. Of note is the introduction of a clearly defined ladder for reporting on the progress of hand washing - notably absent in the MDGs.
Most of the discussion was focused on the sanitation ladder and in particular the renaming of the category 'shared' to 'limited service' (at least, within the presentation!) which re-opened a long-standing debate about shared sanitation facilities. I recall a heated session at the 2014 WASH Conference in Brisbane, Australia, convened by Catarina Fonseca (IRC). On one side, shared WASH facilities - both water and sanitation - were deemed inappropriate and unsustainable due to the lack of a sense of ownership (and therefore maintenance) by users. On the other side there were various arguments about 'shared facilities' being better than 'no facilities' and stories of places where shared facilities were successful (for example, the public toilets run as a small business by women's groups with the Asha program in Delhi slums).
Shared facilities are still in their own separate rung (below 'basic service') on the sanitation ladder of progress toward the sanitation-related SDGs, indicating there is still hesitation to consider shared services fully appropriate or sustainable. A point raised in several presentations throughout the week was that shared sanitation is quite common but it is rarely measured in monitoring and evaluation and even then, the type of sharing is almost never measured. Surely it makes a difference whether a toilet is being shared between 2-3 households or 20 households? Interestingly enough, when sharing was mentioned throughout the conference, I never got the impression that it was considered an inappropriate option; and indeed, many presenters considered shared facilities as improved. As one attendee pointed out, in slum communities where people live in single-roomed rented dwellings, shared toilets are the only improved sanitation option (without rehousing people), hence the previous JMP definition of an improved sanitation system is somewhat limiting. The promotion of shared sanitation to 'limited service' was therefore warmly welcomed, particularly as this gives implementers some leverage to advocate for shared sanitation systems to governments and donors.
Dr Jamie Bartram, Director of the Water Institute at UNC, offered an interesting challenge to the sanitation ladder as it is currently conceived in the sanitation field generally (not just by the JMP), suggesting that perhaps it is too narrow a perspective of sanitation outcomes. The sanitation ladder is designed with the perspective of the user in mind, that is, 'where am I going to take a crap today?'. 'Will it be behind a bush or in a simple pit or on a flushable toilet?'
The problem with this is the focus on the users' experience of defecating and doesn't tell us about the environmental sanitation status of the system. A user who previously defecated in a simple pit but now defecates in a flush toilet probably feels that they have moved up the sanitation ladder. However, if the flush toilet drains directly to an open sewer, or alternatively to a septic tank which gets emptied regularly but by a collector who dumps the waste into a river then this is unlikely to be safer overall than a simple pit latrine and should therefore be considered a step down the ladder. For this reason, Jamie argued, it's great to see the SDG target 6.2 which includes improved sanitation right next to 6.3 which is about improving water quality by reducing wastewater pollution.
I think the Shit Flow Diagram (SFD) (which got a regular plugging by Professor Barbara Evans of Leeds University this week!) is part of an effective response to the dilemma raised by Bartram. At least in the context of urban sanitation systems, the SFD gives a clear picture of sanitation status or service from the environmental sanitation perspective by plotting the pathways of faeces at different points including containment, emptying, transport, treatment and end-use or disposal (see picture attached). Hopefully information from tools such as the SFD will be combined with rungs on the sanitation ladder to construct a more holistic picture of sanitation status in various settings.
It will be interesting to see how the final JMP monitoring framework for sanitation (and indeed other forms of the sanitation ladder) will take both the users' experience as well as the environmental sanitation perspective into account with baseline data expected to be released next year – not an easy task, but one which the JMP team are embracing wholeheartedly.
