One of the many things that sets the CoreNet Symposium apart from the crowd is our venue:
Built in 1910, Shed 10 is the only original building remaining on Queens Wharf. The Shed is a heritage-listed building which for much of its life was used to store cargo on Queens Wharf before being shipped overseas.
In 2012, Shed 10 underwent a thoughtful restoration to retain its heritage elements while providing the facilities you'd expect in a premium events space.
The ground floor retains the shed's robust industrial character, with its concrete floor, steel columns and exposed beams. The upper floor is warm and rich in character and detail with timber flooring, exposed steel trusses and a gable ceiling with occasional skylights.
It creates a compelling venue for all symposium participants - a singular space and a great stage for our speakers.

If you've generated a fortune in Bitcoin and have no idea the best ways to invest it, here's a concept: Go to Las Vegas and misuse all of it on alcohol and lap dances.
Legends Room is a "gentleman's club" that accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and its own cryptocoin LGD for all deals.
That implies you might go there on August 26 to see the boxing bout in between fighter Floyd Mayweather und MMA fighter Connor McGregor, and spend for whatever with bitcoins.
The fundamental experience remains in the primary space of the club, which is open to the general public and charges $150 (payable in crypto) to see the battle. If you go with the members location, you have to own 5,000 LGD tokens (if you do not have them, you can lease them at the entryway). And if you do not actually appreciate this crypto organisation, you can spend for whatever in money and charge card.
The existing rate of the LGD token on Bittrex has to do with $2.15 per token, however you understand how it is with these unstable cryptocurrencies — costs might increase or down prior to the occasion. The token itself does not appear to have any technical benefits over comparable cryptocoins, aber ownership internet you substantial discount rates on beverages and club services.

The lap dances are where it gets intriguing. Throughout the occasion, dancers will be using a tactically put momentary tattoo with a QR code. If you wish to tip a dancer, wave the phone over the tattoo, and voila, you're doing Vegas, crypto-style.
If you're still uncertain whether all this is too adult-only to bring your minor nephew along, bear in mind that the location will be bristling with pornography stars throughout the occasion, bestehend aus Jesse Jane und Tasha Reign.

SOLD OUT: Vintage 80's Animal Safari Tapesty Jacket
Safari animals galore with this 80's/90's button up jacket found and sourced in Palm Springs, California.
We couldn't go past this find, as animals always win our heart. It features giraffes, elephants and a cacti scene. This is an easy-to-wear vintage piece in great condition. In it's neutral black and white colour, and horizontal, medium sized scaled print it's easy to match back with different pieces. Features two front working pockets.
STYLING TIPS: Great teamed back with a vintage t-shirt underneath, you can have a play by doing up all, none or some of the buttons. The buttons are silver. Wear with your favourite baggy, blue jeans or a slim leg black jean for a dressier look. Wear with either flat or heeled boots - knee high or ankle - or team back with some colourful kicks! Perfect over your favourite pair of denim overalls. Wear this with some denim shorts in the Summer, a corduroy skirt for added texture or some funky, brightly coloured pants! Have fun with this one! You can use a silk scarf or neckerchief - like we have here - as a fun accessory; tie it through the belt loops of your jeans, or sneakily stuff it in your back pocket for an added bonus of colour!
SIZING: Nat here is an AUS size 6 with waist measurement of 24-25 inches and bra size 6DD. This would fit anywhere between an AUS Size 6 - small AUS 12, depending on fit and style preference. It is quite wide in the waist on Nat here, but great as a comfortable, oversized look.
MEASUREMENTS: Please note these measurements are taken of a garment laying flat. Please double waist, bust and hip measurement for actual round measurement. These are garment measurements and not body measurements. We recommend wiggle room to ensure a good fit.
Please be aware that the measurements below are a guide only, actual garment may vary slightly.
Thank you for choosing to shop preloved. By supporting secondhand you are investing in a circular fashion economy - one of the most sustainable ways to shop. This approach to shopping means you are not investing your money on new product where virgin materials have been produced, but rather, supporting existing product in the fashion market which is being circulated, reinvented and recycled. You are using your dollar and purchasing power to re-invest in preloved clothes, which means these do not end up in landfill, but recycled and are not contributing to the demand of new clothes.
By purchasing a piece of clothing from our tommie shop, you are making the decision to shop mindfully and consciously; all pieces are thoughtfully hand selected one by one by eco fashion stylist and founder of tommie magazine, Natalie Shehata to create a curated shop. You are supporting us as small business, and we thank you for this. All items in this store were purchased from individuals at flea markets, thrift charity stores or small vintage shops - we too are investing our dollar in supporting small business who specialise in second clothing, and as some of our items were also purchased from thrift stores, we are supporting charities with our dollar.
Thank you for making this decision, you are making the world of difference. Change starts with you, you change-maker!

Spotlight on: New exhibition space for light at BAU 2019!
In 2019 BAU is expanding again, to include even more space for innovations. No less than 200,000 square meters of space in 19 exhibition halls will be available for this international "Who's Who" of the building and construction industry. On show at a single venue will be an exciting display of the future of building.
Light, a key theme for the future, will be showcased in Hall C2, along with the theme of building automation. The new section on Lighting / Smart Building takes up Hall C2 and also incorporates solar shading systems, daylight management, arcade rooflights, roof domes, artificial lighting concepts, building automation / control and lifts.
The integration of the theme of lighting into BAU is a logical consequence, says Exhibition Director Mirko Arend, because: "The theme of lighting concepts is playing an ever bigger role in the overall concept for a building. In our new exhibition section we combine the theme of light with the theme of building automation. It´s about light deflection, lighting control, lighting concepts, daylight versus artificial light. This new segment will also be a link to existing sections such as façade systems, windows and doors and energy technology."
All about light and building automation at BAU 2019—Key theme: Integrated lighting concepts.
- Lighting control (interior/exterior)
- Design-oriented lighting aspects (facades and roofs)
- Daylight and artificial lighting
- Light strips (building construction and civil engineering)
Close to your booth, e. g.
more than 200 exhibitors of facade solutions

Gooroo Mindspace is our unique combination of technology and applied neuroscience, designed to release individual and business potential.
An Advanced Relational Meaning System (ARMS)
Mindspace is an Advanced Relational Meaning System (ARMS) representing a method of understanding the process of how people think. The ARMS capability allows us to assess the relationships that exist within people datasets to produce a new insight and meaning.
An integrated, theoretical framework
Mindspace has been developed from over 40 years of integrated work led by Dr Colin Benjamin OAM. Built on 21st Century neurological research and sociographic studies of the nature of conscious choices, Mindspace incorporates theory from approximately 100 leading experts, scientists and theorists across the ages; from Plato and Aristotle to Edward deBono, Geert Hofstede, Prof Ronald Inglehart, Prof Bob Mathis, Richard Restak and Dr Colin Benjamin OAM.
Why measure 'thinking'?
Understanding the thinking patterns of clients, colleagues and customers increases the sensitivity to their diverse and changing needs. It allows us to identify the hopes and expectations that shape each individual's attitudes, behaviours, choices, decisions and evaluations. With this information, we can more effectively anticipate the levels of performance required and drivers of satisfaction.
Identifying and magnifying the untapped decision support capability of people as they gain experience, expertise and engagement at work and in life provides us with a totally unique, 720⁰ perspective that not only recognises individual growth potential but also informs role, team and company fit, and alignment to messaging.
In the future world of work, individuals need to be more flexible, adaptive and responsive to the changes and choices that foster innovation, creativity and entrepreneurism. They need not only to keep up, but get ahead of the game in the future workplace. Accordingly, Gooroo Mindspace provides the direction, clarity and confidence to unlock the pathways to future achievement and higher performance.
Understanding orientations to innovation and creating 'new' value
By understanding an individual's workstyle we can determine their orientation to doing 'more of the same' to approaches that see them transforming their environment to achieve 'something more valued' for the enterprise.
Gooroo maps an individual's (or a group's) orientation towards productivity, solutions, autonomy, change, persuasion and challenge provides a unique insight in to the way they engage in their work and collaborate with others, the requirement to persuade others to take on new ideas and concepts, and the challenge to engage with an increasingly uncertain future to deliver value and growth.
The future of work that will be characterised by constant change and innovation, so understanding and building these capabilities will be fundamental to future success for both individuals, enterprises and societies.
What is the ColourGrid®?
The ColourGrid® avoids unconscious bias and provides powerful insight into:
How an individual approaches making a decision when they are asked to make a choice
How to engage with and motivate that individual
How to develop new capabilities in that individual
An individual's preferred way to take on new learning
How the individual approaches problem-solving, and much more.
The Gooroo ColourGrid® is visually represented by a 16 cell grid where each square indicates individual patterns of thinking. It is the relationship between the cells and the intensity and absence of colour that provides the meaning. The ColourGrid® is dynamic and provides a level of meaning contextual to the enquiry being made of it.
A ColourGrid® can be created for an individual, team, a company, a customer or any grouping of people, providing a unique lens to inform engagement.
Each ColourGrid® is formed through a series of questions (3-4 mins in total) via an online survey. At scale, a ColourGrid® can be dynamically formed through the integration of people datasets. Gooroo's Mindspace API is available for integration of this capability with other solutions and platforms.
Is ColourGrid® just another psychometric assessment?
No, it's not. In fact, it can be used independently or as a complement to traditional psychometric tools, such as Birkman, DiSC, LSI, etc. Gooroo offers insights across task/role/career, innovation, culture and decision-making priority not considered by these assessments.
Scientific Advisor & Inventor of ColourGrid®
Dr Colin Benjamin OAM, FAICD, MAASW is internationally recognised as a leading Australian polymath and futurist, a global leader in research and future trends, and the creator of strategic thinking tools and validated customer, consumer and community preference scales. Dr Benjamin is the author of Gooroo ColourGrid®, and joined Gooroo in June 2016 as Scientific Advisor.
Dr Benjamin developed Gooroo ColourGrid® over four decades in collaboration with academics in Australia and the US. Dr Benjamin has applied the ColourGrid® to inform the strategic direction of many major Australian and international enterprises.
Dr Benjamin remains as the Chairman of Cultural Infusion and Director General of 'Life. Be in it.'™, of which Gooroo is a major sponsor.

Introduction to The tools
Gooroo ColourGrid®
Gooroo ColourGrid® integrates theoretical models from a wide array of domains, including psychology, neuroscience, market segmentation, politics, economics, organisation-building, training, learning and personality typing. Each body of theory has been vetted and adapted to fit with each of the other theories, creating a cross-domain, integrated platform that works in virtually any field and for a wide array of applications.
A global framework
With globally-sourced cross-cultural data ('sociographics') built into its foundations, Gooroo's Mindspace tools work with equal accuracy for employees and organisations from any country or background.
Many other systems use an original theory or data that suffer from 'cultural blindness', or a built-in bias towards the culture or country of origin that does not necessarily translate well to others. In a globalised world, this can lead to significant inaccuracies, assumptions and errors.
Patent-pending technology
The Advanced Relational Meaning System (ARMS) replicates the way that brain, mind, and consciousness are integrated to build a frame of reference for how we make decisions, in particular in times of choice and uncertainty. It allows us to establish the sequence and patterns of human thought that generates a meaning and preferred pathway to specific goals and objectives. A patent was lodged in October 2017.
Some people embrace change, others avoid it. Some thrive working on the unknown and in environments of high turbulence, others work best where the job doesn't change much from day to day. And how we make choices is as individual as our fingerprints.
Workstyles measure of the six key factors that contribute to the individual's approach to Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurism (ICE). The results highlight workstyle preferences and a person's approach to growth. Further, it provides insight into the type of work environments that the individual is more aligned to succeeding within.
Identifies an individual's preferences in thinking and decision-making when faced with a choice at a time of change, uncertainty and turbulence. This illuminates where an individual is more comfortable or challenged in certain environments, roles, teams and tasks.
Change is happening at a more rapid rate than ever. When we understand change, we can be more effective at managing and leading it. Gooroo's Mindspace tools provide insights that help individuals lead more successful lives.
Cultural alignment
A strategic tool for understanding an organisation's culture to achieve its strategic intent. When the culture is aligned to the strategic intent, the organisation is said to be in equilibrium. In this state it can withstand internal and external pressure, creatively respond to change, and adapt to manage ongoing renewal.
Gooroo is unique because we combine an understanding of human thinking with advanced technology that generates completely new, actionable insights.
Training and workshops
Customised team workshops extend on the insights generated from within the Gooroo platform. These sessions are to support a better understanding of the thinking patterns that team members commonly apply to their work, and the bias that may have on outcomes. Techniques are provided to begin the journey to diversifying their thinking, enabling them to collaborate, and deliver better decisions around the problems and challenges they face in their everyday roles.

The arms of many are raised against President Goodluck Jonathan's second term bid; the spate of criticism and desire to unseat him is shocking. The question that keep burning in my heart is why the campaign against the Nigerian President instead of the People's Democratic Party, the platform that brought him to power? Can we attribute this singular action to his minority ethnic background? Some may argue otherwise, but from all analysis of the various attacks on the candidacy of Jonathan, two things stands out, ethnicity and religion! The President broke a generational jinx, that did not give the minorities in Nigeria any hope of a shot at the Presidency of the country. Jonathan's emergence to the top of the country's number one position was not a coincidence but a divine arrangement by God. Continue reading Goodluck Jonathan Plan Exposed

TB JOSHUA And Nigeria's 2015 Election
What has happened in the shifting of the February 14th Presidential election to March 2015, is a further confirmation that God reveals to his prophets and messengers the truth of what is to come. If only our leaders will stop relying on their understanding and insight and seek the face of God through his chosen vessels, many societal ills would have been averted. The announcement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Jega, of moving the elections ahead by six weeks due to the non-availability of key Military heads in providing the needed security to ensure safety of voters throughout Nigeria. The decision which was taken after wide consultation with the stakeholders is believed will help the electoral body achieve a ninety percent distribution of the permanent voters card (PVC); a vital component of the voting process.

Joanna Letz of Bluma Flower Farm
Flower Farm Success Story
In late 2014, Joanna Letz was preparing for her first season running her own farm, Bluma Flower Farm, on 2.5 acres. She contacted the Alameda County Resource Conservation District (ACRCD), a Growing Roots partner, for support. Susan Ellsworth, Food Systems Specialist and manager of the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program at the ACRCD, met with Joanna to provide one-to-one technical assistance.
During their first meeting, Susan helped Joanna better understand the ins and outs of cut flower farming, helping her avoid what may have been costly mistakes early on in her operation. "I'd never worked on a production flower farm," says Joanna, "so there were things I just didn't realize." Susan also recommended certain types of flower crops and suggested Mike Madison's book Growing Flowers for Market - A Practical Manual for Small-Scale Field Production and Marketing of Fresh Flowers. In late 2015, with her first season under her belt, Joanna paid another visit to the ACRCD, where Susan provided staffing suggestions as a growing farming operation.
After another successful season in 2016, Joanna is focusing on expanding her team and increasing efficiency. She is about to launch an online store, and is also developing relationships with a growing list of local florists - a market Joanna believes has the potential to provide significant new business opportunities.
Joanna continues to receive support from the ACRCD, most recently participating in a March field tour of Mike Madison's flower farm and olive orchard in Yolo County, and as a member of a Beginning Farmer and Rancher book club hosted by the ACRCD. The ACRCD is excited to see her continue to grow her farming business in 2017 and hopes to continue supporting her in her mission to make her farm more sustainable and successful in the years to come.

(sent to law courts)
... sorry. My last post. (I've posted too much). Last thought:
If judging is like being a good art critic, when does the art critic "violate what he or she does?" The answer quite clearly is found in Wittgenstein's remarks about aesthetics. The art CRITIC is bad whenever her or she criticizes without knowing the learned rules that constitute the activity of the art as understood by those who know it best (has to be a little elitist, because it is "art").
There is no difference between when we say that the literary professor is poor than when we say the judge is. No difference whatsoever. In fact, let's take that further. Bad judges and bad professors are the same thing. (So are bad officials, but probably for trial court judges).

About Palliative Care
Accessing Services
Patients are referred to Palliative Care by their attending physicians. The Palliative Care Unit accepts patients from clinic, the emergency room, or on transfer from another unit.
Related Information
UW Hospital and Clinics in Madison, Wisconsin is committed to providing excellence in health care, including the provision of palliative care medicine.
Palliative care treats the whole person, aiming to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families.
Though palliative care is most often associated with end-of-life care, it can be part of the treatment of any person with a serious or life-threatening medical condition for which a patient-centered approach, pain and symptom control, family involvement and compassionate care are needed.
Ideally, palliative care begins early in the course of a life-limiting illness. We are dedicated to caring for patients, regardless of age, who may be suffering from a serious progressive illness such as:
- Cancer
- Chronic lung disease
- Heart disease
- Liver disease
- Kidney failure
- Alzheimer's
|View a brief slideshow about
Laurie Medenblik, social worker,
as she explains how the Palliative Care team works with patients
- Reducing symptoms caused by both disease and its therapy
- Supporting patients and families at times of illness, transition and loss
- Helping family members provide support to patients and each other
The Essence of Palliative Medicine
The Palliative Care Team at UW Health brings their combined expertise from multiple areas to treat the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families in a comforting environment.
In providing palliative care, the team brings a model of care based on six major skill sets. These skill sets, according to the Institute of Medicine, are the essence of palliative medicine.
- Communication
- Advanced care planning
- Management of the complications of treatment and disease
- Symptom control
- Psychosocial care of patient and family
- Care of the dying

Employee Engagement & Culture
This blog is adapted from an article by Ernest. Gundling, Ph.D., "Motivation, Engagement, and Culture", first published for the 2010 ASHRM Conference.
The interactions between managers and employees from various cultural backgrounds can either contribute to or detract from employee engagement and culture. Effectively leveraging a broad range of cultural factors will help to ensure optimum employee engagement, company culture, and workforce adaptability.
The Manager's Role
Analysis of evidence from more than a million respondents to surveys by the Gallup Organization has highlighted six areas that appear to have the strongest links to employee engagement and a strong and productive workplace:
- Clear performance expectations
- Resources available to get job done
- The opportunity to do what one does best
- Frequent recognition/praise
- Care demonstrated by supervisor towards employee
- Support for employee development1
This research underlines the critical role of the employee's relationship to his/her manager in influencing both productivity and retention. What, then, is the impact of that relationship when there are cultural differences between managers and subordinates?
Defining Culture
Culture is a multi-layered phenomenon. It is possible to identify a telescoping set of cultural influences that include national origin, industry, organization, function, team, and family. These aspects of culture are interrelated in various ways.
For instance, the culture of an organization may be shaped by characteristics of the country in which it is headquartered, its industrial context, the dominant functional roles within it, the character of its management team, and family owners or the influences of family members on key executives and employees.
Examining culture through the national lens, the GlobeSmart ProfileSM chart below compares similarities and differences between various countries representing different world regions:
The GlobeSmart Profile is Aperian Global's online cultural inventory enabling individuals to discover & compare their own unique work-styles & get advice on how to work more effectively with other cultures & colleagues.
One useful definition of culture is that it is a way of solving problems in a particular environment. According to this definition, different environments shape a variety of cultural patterns. So what happens when a manager from one environment comes into contact with an employee from a different one?
The Difference the Differences Make
Given the significance of the relationship with one's manager for employee engagement, a possible hypothesis might be that the wider the cultural gap between employee and manager, the lower the level of employee productivity and retention. On the other hand, sources of technical expertise, labor, supplies, and capital are becoming increasingly globalized, and a multicultural workforce is likely to be better equipped to adapt to these changes. Problem-solving styles based in any particular cultural setting are frequently inadequate for addressing issues that span national boundaries, time zones, and institutions. Indeed, there is evidence that monocultural teams are prone to "group think" or blind spots which are not conducive to solving complex problems, whereas multicultural teams are more creative even as they face greater challenges in establishing shared norms for communication, problem-solving, and decision-making.2
A manager with a more interdependent perspective may expect a level of teamwork that makes anindependently-minded subordinate appear to be a "lone wolf;" meanwhile, an independently– minded manager may misjudge the desire of interdependent employees to work together in a team setting as a sign of insufficient initiative. In a similar vein, research points to different culturally based expectations of employees related to attitudes towards status: some expect their manager to have precise answers to the questions of subordinates, while others with a more egalitarian perspective favor a facilitative management style in which the manager draws out the answers from subordinates.3 Or a relationship-oriented manager might find that task-focused employees are impatient to get on with the job, while a task-oriented manager could neglect to build and nurture personal ties essential for engaging more relationship-oriented team members.
Management Skills Required
Because most large organizations are faced with the business imperative to work successfully across boundaries of many kinds, they need to focus on building the skills for effective management across cultures. So how can intercultural management skills be developed that foster employee engagement while leveraging different perspectives for optimum creativity and adaptation to address real business problems?
It is useful to keep in mind from the start that cultural comparisons may differ from national norms when examined on a corporate culture or a team basis, and to refrain from rigid stereotypes in favor of data-based observations that can be altered based on new information. For example, data from local nationals in one company based in the Middle East indicate that its corporate culture parallels the national style in the direction of interdependence, is somewhat more direct in communication style, and is considerably more task-focused than the national norm.4 Individual profiles may of course vary even more widely relative to national averages.
Experience with thousands of managers from many cultures indicates that they can benefit from the common three-step pattern for understanding and addressing cultural differences: 1) self-awareness; 2) acquisition of knowledge regarding similarities and differences between self and others; 3) constructive efforts to bridge significant gaps. As straightforward as this prescription is, its implementation can go awry for many reasons, including the unfounded tendency to assume that we are more similar to others than we actually are, and the inclination to dismiss differences as unimportant. Cultural dimensions themselves are more complex than they appear on the surface, with even cultures that appear to fall at similar points on the scale having radically different ways of going about the same practice.5
Practical Considerations
Below are several of the previously noted areas identified by the Gallup study as important to employee engagement, along with a sample cultural dimension and related questions for consideration. Managers need heightened awareness in order to recognize the need to ask themselves such questions, and they also must cultivate the ability to respond appropriately.
Clear performance expectations
Egalitarian vs. Status
Do employees on my team expect me to tell them what to do or to elicit ideas from them?
Should employees solve problems themselves or should they bring them first to me?
Frequent recognition & praise
Direct vs. Indirect
How are recognition and praise expressed in the cultures from which my employees come? What are the most common settings: public or private, formal or informal?
Do my team members expect recognition to be expressed verbally or through indirect means such as the assignment of greater responsibility or constructive criticism?
Care demonstrated by supervisor towards employee
Independent vs. Interdependent;
Task vs. Relationship
How is care demonstrated in each employee's cultural setting?
Does an employee expect to work closely with other team members or more independently?
How often should my team meet in person?
Are team member relations strictly professional or do they extend to more personal friendship ties as well?
Support for employee development
Status vs. Egalitarian;
Risk vs. Certainty
What does development mean to employees in their own cultural settings? Are they most interested in credentials, certificates, titles, promotions, on-the-job skill building, self-guided study, formal group training, personal mentoring, professional associations, etc.?
To what extent are they willing to take risks and try new projects and assignments that require personal initiative and innovation, or do they prefer a safer and more structured career path?
The answers to these questions will naturally vary according to the particular profile of the manager and the backgrounds of team members, and there is no single correct answer to any question. In some cases managers may choose to adapt to the preferred styles of employees, whereas in others they may ask employees to adapt to them, or find a way to blend different styles.
As richly varied as the mix of possible responses may be, the cultural questions outlined above are likely to be crucial ones for managers to focus on in order to build engagement within a multicultural team. And a team with fully engaged members at its core – with positive, flexible, and mutually respectful relationships between manager and employees – will be in a position to fully tap its creative potential and adapt effectively to a changing business environment.

My name is Avery and I'm here to help you reclaim your power. Witchcraft is about getting real results and seeing tangible change in your life. If that sounds like the kind of magic you're looking for, then read on…
Familiar work is highly personal and very subjective. Because of this, there are plenty of ways for it to go wrong, get confusing, or become just plain weird. In this FAQ section I address some of the most common questions I receive about familiars.
Deal with it.
No, I'm serious. Your familiar chose that form for a reason, probably in part due to the fact that you have this resistance to it! If you want to work with a familiar and learn from it you need to accept this form that it's presenting and learn to work with it anyway. My suggestion is to pick up a book on animal symbolism and start researching your familiar. Figure out what lessons it might be bringing you and learn things about the animal that might endear you to it.
Even if you can't learn to love it, look at your familiar as an assignment from your soul. If it was willing to take that form despite how actively you dislike it, then it must REALLY want you to learn that lesson.
This does happen sometimes, try not to panic. You DO have a familiar.
There can be several causes for this. One is that you're trying to contact it through the wrong means, or that you're simply missing it. Change the method you're using and look closer. Your familiar might be an insect, a tree, a dandelion, or something else unexpected. Try to let your instincts and feelings guide you rather than your head. Your logical mind is a wonderful thing but it's well trained to get in the way of the odd, the extraordinary, and the unusual.
The other likely reason that your familiar may not show up is that it's choosing not to show up. Sometimes, they may feel that it's simply not the right time. Or that you still have things to learn before their work with you can begin. Or, perhaps they realize that while you may want to work with them now your life may not allow you to focus on your familiar. In many situations where your life is tumultuous, unpleasant, or dangerous, your familiar may take a backseat whether you like it or not. They have your best interests in mind and if focusing on your physical life is tantamount then they will push you in that direction in any way they can.
When you can feel other familiars or when you work in a system like mine it can be confusing when they won't all work with you. This is quite normal though.
In instances where a person has multiple familiars, each familiar is meant to teach you something specific. These lessons can relate to life circumstances that will change over time and one familiar's lessons may well build on the lessons of the familiar before it. My own familiars rarely show up all at once and in fact, my predator familiar took three years to appear to me for the first time. His timing was perfect though. Trust your familiars to appear at exactly the right time and to teach you exactly what you need to know.
Command it to reveal its true nature. You're a witch, a being who lives in both the physical world and the spiritual world, this makes you an incredibly powerful force. Your commands hold weight and in most circumstances, a properly cast magical command will remove any glamour that is being used to trick you. If need be, banish the being and next time you go to meet your familiar cast a circle that will allow only your familiar to contact you. This selectively permeable circle will ensure that your space is protected from any being who would try to trick you.
Whether or not your familiar will help you in such matters is up to you and your familiar to negotiate. As I've said, you cannot force your familiar to do anything and it may refuse to help in matters that it finds petty. If it does agree to help you in such things the possibilities are endless. They can lend you energy, teach you spells, show you new magical techniques, help you orchestrate complicated spellwork, visit other witches and spirits to carry messages and serve as shapeshifting companions, allowing you to see through their eyes.
Many of these techniques take time and experience to learn and it's important to first build a strong relationship and establish trust between yourself and your familiar first. Respect their boundaries, heed their advice, and work with them often.

Diet Tips for Menopause
These suggestions for better diet during menopause are essentially just healthy eating. Which you might not be doing at the moment. So here's another reason to eat healthy. One more reason can't hurt.
Menopause Diet: How What You Eat Affects Your Symptoms
Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life as her menstrual cycles come to an end. It's confirmed 12 months after your last period. However, the transition and symptoms associated with menopause can last for several years (1).

Oh this shoot!
We were contacted by Nicola Harger of Nicola Harger Photography last year to create some florals for a moody waterfall shoot in the Columbia River Gorge and we couldn't have been more excited to create them. The concept was right up our ally and not something we get to do that often.
Pair that with an Elizabeth Dye dress and Silk and Willow ribbon and it was magic! We love light and airy, but we also have a soft spot for dramatic and deep. If you like these pictures, make sure to check out our dark Columbia Gorge styled shoot

Dear Princess Ciony,
Today was a tough day, anytime I see the number "26" my heart instantly breaks or I try to make the number make sense to what's taking place at that current moment in my life. I can't believe it's been two years since you left us here on Earth physically. I know you like being in heaven with your mom, please tell her I said hello. Spiritually I know you are still here, I think about you literally every single day.
My heart aches for the pain you suffered from the multiple gunshots you didn't know were coming. My heart breaks for your Aunt Toni and the twins. My heart breaks, even more, when I think of your grandmother Caroline. I try my best to make them smile and laugh whenever I am around. At your memorial, I laid down a Fan Favorite Shirt that said: "Somebody Got To Survive".
Here I am surviving, and unknowingly teaching everyone I come in touch with to survive. I am committed to keeping your name alive and telling your story to any and every single person who asks me what is Fan Favorite University. Fan Favorite University is you. Fan Favorite University is where I wish you had an opportunity to go that Sunday when those kids asked you to get in the car with them.
I love you Ciony. If you ever need me I'm one phone call away. Visit me in my dreams, keep visiting me in reality. Seeing you, thinking you, seeing or hearing the number "26" always motivates me to keep going.
I got you. I still need you to teach me how to dance!
Fan Favorite

Simple but really effective glute and hamstring workout for ladies. Which will leave you sore for the next few day. And will help you to grow bigger butt and stronger hamstrings.
Remember everybody has different goals, so if you want build more muscle drop number of sets and increase the weight. Which will make you stronger and will promote muscle growth. But if you are looking for more definition or I should call it make workout more conditioning, increase the reps and take some weight off the bar or machine.
The workout is not easy by any means. I would suggest to do this workout few times per week, but make sure that you give enough time to recover from previous glute and hamstring workout. Spread it evenly through the week.
Start with this superset. Do not rush. Allow yourself to do two second movement. And contract on the top of the movement with the stop for one second on the top. This is perfect combination for a warm up.
4 sets of 12 reps
4 sets of 12 reps
On this superset, keep your range of reps 8 to 10. On the way down for squats bring your but out. This is will hit your glutes much more. Remember your quads will be working anyways, but we want to include glutes a bit more, than quads. Make your stand a bit wider. But again make sure its not too wide. Keep your weight fairly heavy, but not too heavy, you need to make sure that you will be able to do those reps with good form.
The squat jumps are all about power and help you push yourself. After a compound movement like the squat, the last thing you likely want to do is jump into something that's cardio-based, so this superset will test your limits.
4 sets of 8-10 reps
4 sets of 8-10 reps
These are great for building hamstrings and glutes. Focus on the mind-muscle connection and think about where you're pulling from. At the top, push hard, lock out, and squeeze your glutes for complete muscle activation.
4 sets of 12-15 reps
You want to hurt, so pick a weight that causes you to struggle a bit and pushes you outside your comfort zone. You're trying to build muscle. Use a weight you will feel. But again make sure that your form is good. You don't want to look like a drunk guy on the street. Keep your body straight.
3 sets of 15 reps, per leg
I'm a fan of using body weight for girls. The combination of glute bridges and leg curls in this exercise proves that sometimes you don't even need weights you can get a good burn just by engaging the muscles correctly. As with all of these exercises, engage your core continuously throughout the movement. Use your hamstrings when bending your legs. And if you getting stronger do alternative ball leg curls. That will make you work much harder.
5 sets of 15-20 reps
This is going to be a tough one. You only get 30 seconds of rest between sets. So you going to use lighter weights. But the best part you can add weight if you need it. But don't bee ego maniac. Don't put normal weight when you would use normally. After 3-4 sets, I guarantee you will feel the burn. And it will be too painful to finish the exercise. This is an excellent exercise to build your hamstrings and get that sweep on the back of the leg.
7 sets of 12 reps, rest 30 sec.

you get what you give
It's been quite a while since I've posted reader mail, but this one was too good to omit.
Dear Timothy,
Merry Christmas! I've long read now about the dogs you've cared for and the work you've done with [Scout's Honor] rescue. I wish I could follow your example. But the apartment I live in is in a building that doesn't allow pets. Do you have any suggestions what else I can do to help dogs in need? If so, I'm thinking that might be my resolution for the new year. Thank you! Happy New Year! - F.G., Charleston, WV.
Happy New Year to you, too, F.G.! Even if you can't foster an animal in your home there are many ways you can help your local animal rescue organizations. Here are some ideas, off the top of my head:
1. Monetary donations. I wish I could say that saving a dog like EZ's life and finding the perfect forever home for her is priceless. Unfortunately, there is a price for that kind of happiness. In EZ's case, because of her operations, it cost about seven thousand dollars. Unfortunately, many rescued animals require medical attention and those costs can add up fast. Even the animals that don't require medical attention still need vaccinations, routine check-ups, heartworm preventative treatments, etc. They also need food, collars, leashes, bedding, and crates. And then there's the administrative costs to run a rescue. All these things add up, so monetary donations--no matter how big or how small--are always greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductable, so be sure to get a receipt and Tax ID number.
2. Other donations. The items mentioned above--food, leashes, blankets, crates, toys, treats, etc.--can be purchased and dropped off by you. If the rescue operates out of a building, they'll probably also need things like bleach, towels, mops, paper towels, newspapers, etc., as well as general office supplies like paper, pens, staples, copy machines, phones, etc. A lot of these items are found in most homes. Call or check their Web site for a list of needed items. Again, the dollar amount for donated items are often tax deductions.
3. Human contact. One of the best ways you can help a rescued dog is to interact with it. Spend a few hours one day a week to volunteer at a shelter walking dogs. You and the dog will get exercise. (This might fulfill two resolutions at the same time.) Also, attend adoption events. Nobody's going to frown at you and shoo you away for not adopting a dog or cat if you say that you're just there to pet the animals and say hello to them. Socialization with humans is very important for a rescued animal. You may not be able to write it off on your taxes, but any love you can offer is valuable.
4. Be an animal advocate. Does your community have leash laws? What about spay and neuter laws? Does your community require breeders to be licensed? Is there a local dog park? Find out. Requiring dogs to be on leashes within town and city limits will prevent dogs from being hit by cars, or from running away and becoming yet another dog in a shelter. Requiring pets by law to be spayed and neutered will help reduce the number of unwanted pets in your community. A local fenced and gated dog park will give dogs (and their owners) a safe place to run and socialize. Requiring breeders to be licensed will reduce the number unwanted and ill-bred pets in your community. Also, it will hopefully stop local puppy mills. There are lots of things you can do as a good citizen to help animals in your community, and keep them out of shelters.
5. Start a rescue organization. So you can't have pets in your apartment. Do you have five or ten friends? Can they have pets in their apartments or homes? Do each of them have five or ten friends who can have pets in their apartments or homes? And so on and so on? If so, you've got the making of a great foster program and you could run it, thereby having upwards of fifty to a hundred pets by proxy! It's not an easy way to spend your free time, but you could do it. Lots of animals and humans will thank you for it.

Despite having a big star cast, "Joker" took off on Friday on a dim note that continued throughout the weekend at the box office window.
"Joker" collected a moderate ₹50 million on its opening day, but the collection dipped further on Saturday with a bleak figure of ₹47.5 million. On Sunday, the film collected up to ₹60 million, said Bollywood trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh.

The film is unlikely to get past the bearish grip at the box office in the coming weeks as well. The total weekend collection figures fall between ₹155 to ₹155.7 million net.
According to reports, the film is believed to have made with the budget of ₹450 million by three production houses, which include actor Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Entertainment, Farah Khan's Three's Company and UTV production house.
"Joker" sets back Kunder's efforts in getting a solid footing in tinsel town considering that he already has enough failures to his credit. His previous movie "Jaan-E-Mann" that was released in 2006 was a commercial failure.
"Joker" is directed by Kunder and has Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade and several others in lead roles.
Meanwhile, Kabir Khan-directed "Ek Tha Tiger", which was released on Aug 15, continues to get good response at the box office, with the movie raking up a total ₹1.9 billion last weekend. Adarsh reported that the film garnered ₹12.4 million on Friday, ₹21.1 million on Saturday and ₹31.6 million the following day.
'Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi's has collected total ₹112.5 million net in its second weekend. Last month, the movie opened to a thin occupancy across the country and collected ₹60 million and ₹62.5 million net in its opening weekend.
"Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi", which is directed by Bela Bhansali Sehgal and marks choreographer and director Farah Khan's debut as an actor, was released on Friday. It also stars Boman Irani, Kavin Dave, Shammi in the lead roles.

Today's Technique Challenge
Double Stenciling
Use more than one stencil or use the same one but move and stencil again.
This was fun! You use 2 stencils. The bottom stencil is circles using Tim Holtz Distress ink Salty Ocean very lightly. The 2nd stencil is a flower stencil from Crafter' Workshop. I used Mustard Seed, Seedless Preserves, Peeled Paint, and Pickled Raspberry and blended the colors. I used Memento Luxe Ink and clear embossing powder with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Simon Says Big Scripty Greeting set. I also added a few black enamel dots. I made a card base out of coral Michaels cardstock. Looks like a lot of work but it isn't! Pull out 2 stencils! ~Gracie
I haven't stenciled for a long time… I took some classes when I first started stamping & making cards (10 or so years ago). So all of that has been sitting on a shelf - just goes to show you if you keep your craft stash long enough, you will be able to use it again! So this was fun - I did it a little different than the instructions I found on the internet. I stenciled the tree and then I used a pattern stencil and shook glitter over it. so that I would get a textured look.
Used bonsai stencil, Anna Griffin stencil, embossing paste & Martha Stewart glitter. ~Jennifer
Happy Crafting

Henry Cavill talks about possibly wearing Superman's black suit in Justice League. Finally joining the rest of the cast of the upcoming DC movie after being basically sidelined in all promotional material and activities, the English actor is now able to give his two cents about the mysteries that surround the Man of Steel's supposed death and eventual resurrection. This includes persistent speculation of the black suit potentially making its big screen debut via the Zack Snyder-directed project.
By now, almost everybody knows Superman will appear in Justice League one way or another. The tease of the dirt lifting off the coffin at the end of Batman V Superman was proof a return was imminent. Given this, interest regarding the character's resurrection has already shifted towards theorizing how he will come back from the grave, and one of the most popular rumors out there is that he'll return wearing the infamous black suit -- an indication of having a change of heart and allegiance.
Speaking with Miami's WSVN-TV's Chris Van Vliet during Justice League's press tour stop in London, Cavill was asked regarding the cryptic social media update that he posted back in August that appears to be Superman's black suit. "That's exactly how it appears. I mean, it appears to be a black suit, right," coyly said when the interviewer attempted to get a confirmation that he will indeed sport the darker fight suit.
This particular theory has driven fans frantic over the last few months. Several items of tie-in merchandise for the ensemble flick appeared to be perpetuating the idea, further fueling the rumor but, obviously, it has not been confirmed by WB yet. In retrospect, it's not really a bad scenario, especially if it effectively sets up Superman's eventual return to the good side. It's also a great parallel in terms of the character's overall arc in the franchise. Many weren't thrilled with his characterization in Batman V Superman, with some fans feeling it was a departure from his traditional standing as a beacon of hope. Giving him a good redemption story in Justice League makes his return all the more impactful and emotional. It also gets fans invested once again in his future adventures in the film series.
As previously mentioned, we won't have to wait for long to find out how Superman re-emerges and if he does sport his black suit in Justice League. However it is, fans should be ready for an emotional come back for the Last Son of Krypton as the movie's composer, Danny Elfman, has previously teased of a poignant sequence centering on the character.

Continued from yesterday.
On the first day of my class "Spiritual Autobiographies: Theirs and Ours," a few students shared that they weren't "spiritual people." Why, I wondered, did they sign up for this elective class?
Some of them, I would learn later in the semester, had been deeply wounded by religion. A few said that religion had been forced on them by their parents.
At this moment of emerging adulthood, it was time to turn away, to turn another way. Neither the students nor I realized, as class began in mid-August, that some of their wounds, whether exposed in speech, writing, or—to anyone paying attention—in silence, would become sites of inquiry and that inquiry itself might begin a process of healing.
One example.
For her first paper, one student wrote a passionate letter-essay to her parents.
Dear Mom and Dad (and whomever else I made a hypocrite in the eyes of God), the letter-essay begins.
I suppose all the baptismal water has evaporated out of my pores by now. Every inch of my body must scream sin to you. I wonder what happened. When did I make you feel that you failed as a disciple of Christ? I am sorry that I made it impossible to keep the promises you made twenty years ago while I was crying in your arms in a gown of white. I feel guilty knowing that even though you believe in the existence of heaven, you do not have the reassurance that you will meet me there one day. I am sorry I do not believe in what you do.
I am not you. That's what she says to her parents.
Has there ever been a young woman or man who has not had to make such a declaration to his or her parents, if not in words then in attitude; if not in attitude then in action? How many, though, as they separate and harden into their individuated selves, are able to imagine and care about how their rejection of their parents' beliefs affects their parents?
Her sensitivity to the feelings and convictions of her parents does not, however, lead her to suppress her bitterness at having been required, by them, to attend Sunday school weekly and having had a hymnal forced into her hand when she wasn't praying—because she wasn't interested in praying—with the congregation.
In the third paragraph of her inquiry ("I wonder what happened"), she recognizes that her parents weren't the problem. "You were only keeping your promises," she acknowledges. The problem was their God, who, as she sees it, fails repeatedly to keep his promises.
A boy from Bible camp—the first boy her best friend in middle school kissed—chokes to death on a roll at his church's youth group. Later, the writer's boyfriend, whose ancestors were murdered in the Holocaust, is sickened by the smell of a classmate's burning flesh. That boy set himself on fire at school. How could a loving God allow such things to happen to young, innocent people?
She comes to feel, she writes, as if she is in "some type of abusive relationship where I was trying to justify his [God's] actions through our love."
Had her parents taught her how to pray, had they taught her that doubt is not only okay but it as a necessary part of a mature religious life, she might have had some way to reconcile experience with belief.She concludes:
It's been over five years since I've sincerely prayed to God, but I get down on my knees now to ask him to lift your burdens. Please God do not hold them to their promises they made twenty years ago, for they were naïve to the resistance I would put against them. They were unaware that I seek spirituality not from a pulpit or a white robe but from within.
With all my love,
In the end, she prays for her parents, prays to God in whom she no longer believes.
Wounded by religion. Yet, deep down (beneath the details of any particular religion), the values fundamental in most if not all religions remain in her (and others) unharmed: compassion, forgiveness.
Are compassion and forgiveness part of one's spiritual life? What about the ability to see the world—its material and immaterial aspects—through the minds, hearts, and habits of others? What about the challenge of remaining in loving relationship to those who have loved and harmed you?
We didn't talk at all—or at least not very much—about God in class.
Early in the semester, beginning with Girl Meets God, our first assigned text, I shared what I called "keywords" from each day's assigned reading. Loyalty, infidelity; darkness, light; waiting; improvised prayer; desire, temptation, betrayal; finding your teacher; I believe: these are some of the keywords I noted from the first two sections of Girl Meets God.
Why did I choose these words and others like them? They all named experiences I assumed everyone in the room, religious or not, had had or could imagine themselves having. None of them pointed exclusively to God.
The first paper assignment: choose one term from the list of keywords and use it point you toward an essay. The keyword chosen by the writer of the letter-essay: "forgiveness."
If I teach this class again, or the next time I use a text in any class that gives us an opportunity to talk about what writers talk about when they talk about God, I will remember my responsibility, as an educator, to inquire, with intellectual integrity, into everything that's relevant, including those parts of our experiences that, because they are difficult to talk about, may be avoided, dismissed as untrue, or merely marginalized in the setting of a public university.
I will also remember my student's letter-essay. I will try to summon the wholeheartedness—"There is nothing so whole as a broken heart," says the Kotzker Rabbi—that she brought to her courageous work, and I'll ask, "what about God, what about God?"
