9 things I'd like to see happening in Classical muSIC in 2018
Here in Spain, the gifts arrive on the 6th of January. I wasn't really sure what to put on my wish list, so I wrote down a few things I hope the Reyes Magos would consider for 2018. Lets see if I was a good boy and they listen to some of this.
In his 2018 budget, Donald Trump finally delivered on an old republican proposal and cut the the funding for the US public broadcasters NPR and PBS to 0. Over the last years there has been an ongoing debate at the role of public broadcasting in many countries and many western countries have severely cut down or eliminated the role of public broadcasting. Many of them closed their orchestras and reduced their cultural programming. And in March 2018, the Swiss will hold a referendum about the "No Billag" bill, eliminating all public funding for broadcasting.
Apart from news and journalism, public broadcasting is also an important tool in making culture (and knowledge about culture) more democratically available. Let's get it straight: Journalism and culture are public goods. Their benefit is not just for the people who pay for them, but for anybody. Balanced media coverage and culture help to understand the world around us. They allow people to take part in the democratic process and to think critically and freely. Let's keep it that way.
Today we live amongst the most talented generation of young musicians that was ever around. They have not just become technically much better, but musically and aesthetically much more open and multi-faceted. many of them grew up with great orchestral and other musical experiences and many of them have a natural approach to contemporary music, historic performance practice and other musical styles.
Young musicians form excellent ensembles, groups, orchestras and often combine different musical activities like composing, playing, improvising or cross-genre experimentation. They make the music scene so much wider and diverse than just a few years ago. But they work often in bad conditions, with ultra-low (or no) fees and no security to continue and develop their ideas. In the music scene (and the performing arts scene in general), there is a massive difference between the job security and financial conditions in big institutions and the absolute insecurity and lack of funding in the free music scene.
We should give these young people at least enough back-up to make life as a performer without a big full-time position possible. There are many young musicians who want to combine different musical activities and it is important that we can first of all support them and second offer them flexible contracts . We need their talent, their free spirit and their open-mindedness in the classical music scene just as much as they need the security to develop their own artistic ideas.
We have more documentation than ever about the performance history of the classical repertoire. There are more recordings and documents available than ever. But what does this do to the way we perform music? It narrows down the range of what is seen as acceptable more than ever before. The interpretations of the great repertoire of the past become ever more similar. In fact, the most unusual developments in classical music performance over the last decades were driven by recordings and non-institutional groups that had time to research, experiment and rehearse.
When one looks back in music history reading the letters of travelling composers and performers, one gets an idea about the enormous difference between interpretations, be it the length of performance, orchestral sizes and layouts, locals customs of style and phrasing, or just simply individual differences in reading a work.
While i also believe in musical Darwinism up to a certain point (as in the survival of the fittest interpretations of a work), I think there is not enough risk (or opportunity for risk) in nowadays performances (and I am talking about myself just as much, here). In the 19th and 18th century there was less performance history available, so there was a bigger reliance on contemporary habits and individual opinions. Nowadays, it's the other way around. There is endless recorded evidence that sometimes gets in the way of radically individual approaches. But we owe our public something unique when they enter a concert hall, so let's not shy away from doing something radical and unique just because we're getting some bad reactions or crap reviews. Classical music needs more raised eyebrows.
Recently, I heard a school orchestra play and the kids were all pure energy and commitment. But the repertoire they played was such rubbish!! The same goes for many children's and family concerts where the Pokemon Theme Tune is being played alongside some other dumb arrangements.
This is a call for composers just as much as for educators, conductors and musicians: Kids are small - that doesn't mean they are stupid. Give them some good stuff and they will respond.
I've talked about this before, but in terms of research, I think we can learn a lot from museums who have to show their collections in ever more creative ways in order for their public to make sense and to interact with them.
In my work as a conductor I am still part of programming conversations like: "We haven't played this Beethoven symphony for two years, so it's time we do it again." While I think it's important that orchestras cultivate the big historic repertoire and keep it alive for their audiences, I think this kind of thinking doesn't dig the hole quite deep enough. What about: Why do we play a piece, what does it have to say to the audience and how we can get the public to engage with it in a more direct way?
It is no good just to rely on historic significance or habit - if music doesn't speak to us any more, it's time to close the concert halls and move to other forms of artistic expression. But in fact, it has more to say than ever. And our time needs all the music it can get.
There are many more composers underrepresented in the concert programs, so these are just five. The reasons why these composers show up too rarely are all different. Claude Vivier didn't write much for orchestra, as did Janacek. And Haydn is nowadays mostly left to period-instrument groups and chamber orchestras (as a lot of other music before 1800). In fact, most orchestras nowadays play more Shostakovich than Haydn. I think this is madness and we have to reclaim this amazing repertoire.
There are still some people around in the classical music who come out with all sorts of ridiculous prejudice and misogyny. There is no place for this, and it does a lot of damage to Classical Music. When I was a tutor in Conducting at the Royal Northern College of Music we had every year more than a hundred applications for the Conducting course, but never more than a few young women applied. Maybe around 10%.
Fact is, no guy conducts with his penis. The big majority of us don't share these views, but we all still suffer the consequences of the dinosaur attitudes: Classical Music being perceived as backwards, conservative, narrow-minded and just generally a thing of the past.
Modern concert halls have optimised the way to listen to music. But they have also standardised it. The same goes for orchestral layouts. Every piece is played in the same setup which makes it easier for an orchestra to play together, but it sometimes takes away from the way in which it was conceived .
In the twentieth century, composers have tried to use different spatial configurations for their works, sometimes even directly related to the buildings they were played in (Nono- Prometeo, Boulez - Répons, Stockhausen - Gruppen etc.). But there are many spatial considerations in older repertoire too, and, in fact, there was never a standard orchestral setup.
An example, is the last movement of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, where the beginning is first played in some dialogue between first and second violins (and violas and celli) and, when it comes back at letter G, in a straighter, more linear version. If the first and second violins sit behind each other, this difference is completely lost. In practice though, unfortunately, it is often impossible to play different pieces in different layouts, or to play around with the spatial aspects of a performance.
A few years ago, we played Nielsen's 5th symphony with the doom-bringing drummer (Peter Kates) walking right up in front of the orchestra, with his drum strapped around the neck. There are many more examples, like Vladimir Ashkenazi's dispersed cowbells in the "Alpine Symphony" or Simon Rattle's staging of the Bach Passions with Peter Sellars and the Berlin Phil. Our way of listening evolves and there is no reason why we shouldn't try and make the three-dimensional aspects of a composer's thinking part of our interpretations.
I think we are quite good at programming what the public wants to hear. But everybody can listen to what they want all the time - on YouTube, or Spotify or many other places. Or you can read anything you want, all the news, the tweets and the Facebook posts. And you know what? People end up reading just what they like and ignoring all the rest. We get the world through our own filter, and don't even know about what else is there.
So, let's hear it for the unusual, for the weird, the thoughtful, the deep, the impenetrable, the different or the strange. Maybe for something really beautiful that nobody has ever heard of. Or for a different way of seeing something familiar. If we make a convincing case for the music we believe in and the interpretation we think is right, then music can become a tool for critical thinking and engaged listening.
There is enough populism around these days, so let's keep it at least out of the concert halls.

Cat vs Cafe (70/30)
Lion Kings: Review of Tiny Lions Lounge & Adoption Center
If there was one take away from my Michigan cat cafe visits, it is (without a doubt), the home of some of the biggest-hearted cat lovers on the planet.
Take, for example, Tiny Lions Lounge & Adoption Center.
When I walked through the door of on that warm and cloudy summer day, I knew I had entered a place of kindred spirits.
First, two lovely ladies manning the front desk greeted me with hearty hellos and smiles. Volunteers of the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV), the ran down the lounge rules, including the fact that beverages from the coffee shop next door, Biggby Coffee, were strongly encouraged. I literally ran across the lobby Tiny Lions shares with Biggby and collected a precious cup of joe, which I savored almost as much as my kitty time.
I spent my first fifteen minutes up at the front desk because I was having such a nice visit with the ladies, but also because they were holding two sweet babies that needed extra cuddles. Abby, an older tabby girl had a sad face, but eagerly rubbed her head into my hand when I came over to say hi. Algonac, a shy black and white boy with whiskers that looked like a droopy mustache was busy making biscuits on the arm of the other volunteer.
I discovered that this outpost of the HSHV has had an astounding 18,000 visitors and 600 adoptions in the two years they have been open.
I'm certain the comfortable and spacious facility has something to do with their popularity. The colorful walls are filled with climbing shelves, sleeping boxes and inspiring quotes. There are plentiful tables, chairs and cozy couches to commune with the kitties. Located about five miles west of Ann Arbor, just off I-94, the strip mall location also offers the aforementioned advantage of having a Biggby Coffee next door, something I think would help drive foot traffic for many cat cafes.
The large space means more room for more cats. There were seventeen sweet babies in residence that day, including a group named after Michigan cities: Clemens, Clinton, Houghton and, of course, Algonac. I met Clinton in the conference room (they have space available for meetings) and laughed with the other patron in the room as he flirted shamelessly by rolling over and giving us adorable expressions.
'He's working hard to find a forever home,' I said to the young woman. Here eyes sparkled as she replied excitedly 'I came in just to look around, but think I've found the one!'
In the back room, I played with Miss Kitty for nearly half an hour. An energetic young tabby that had been abandoned by her owners, she relished the attention as she chased the red pom pom trailing behind me. Charlie, who looked like Miss Kitty's older brother, calmly enjoyed the show from his fleece blanket kitty-loaf position. Berkley, a shy ginger, perched on top of the carpeted cat tree and warily surveyed the scene.
I just wanted to take them all home and love them forever.
My hour flew by as quickly as Miss Kitty chasing a red string. I said my goodbyes and as I opened the door, heard the voice of the patron from the meeting room, 'I'd like to adopt Clinton….'

SANTA FE, N.M. - The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) is pleased to announce it has received $7.65 million in grant funding from the Department of Education to expand campus facilities. The award comes from the Department of Education's Title III program that provides funding to "improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability of eligible institutions."
A $1.65 million grant will support the construction of IAIA's Foundry and Sculpture Center, a facility that will house the 3-dimensional art program of IAIA's Studio Arts degree. The new building will enable students to study woodworking, welding, forging, casting, ceramics and large scale metal, stone and glass sculpture. It will also alleviate current space limitations and improve overall safety conditions.
IAIA's new Science and Technology Building will be supported by a $3 million per year, two-year grant. This building will house a New Media Arts Center with advanced digital technologies and a multi-media presentation theater (to enhance the instruction capabilities of the New Media Arts degree program), a Museum Conservation Center to house IAIA's National Collection of Contemporary Native American art, along with conservation teaching laboratories to provide students with hands-on training in collections care and conservation, and a Science Center that will contain laboratories and flexible instructional spaces to better deliver the science portion of the general education requirements of IAIA's degree programs.
IAIA has secured an additional $500,000 for the Science and Technology building from the state of New Mexico through Severance Tax Bonds. The General Obligation Bond "D," which has the potential to provide an additional $500,000, will be on the November ballot. Other funding required to complete the construction of both buildings is being actively sought out by IAIA, as well.
IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin commented, "The full build-out of our campus is identified as priority in Plan 2012, IAIA's strategic plan, and the construction of these buildings will undoubtedly enhance our ability to recruit the best student scholars and provide them the finest education possible in Native arts and culture."
For more information on any of these programs, please call the President's office at (505) 424-2302. For more information about the Institute of American Indian Arts, please visit www.iaia.edu.

The front yard of our house is a favourite venue for meditation in the morning. My son and I are in a state of bliss for almost a spell of two hours. This period solely belongs to both of us. Nothing can deter us from our divine routine, save an emergency.
The lawn is a refreshing green with the prominence of palms and Chinese oranges. The tempting showered earth's smell invites you to sit there for hours. A flock of birds flying for the day and chirping birds perched on the tall bottle brush is a feast to the eyes. An almost extinct species, a butterfly, adds to the flavour of the serene atmosphere. The soft wind rustles the leaves as if to smile at us. The not- so- warm rays of the sun brings blessing of the mighty Lord and sits delicately all over the body.
Sahajayoga, founded by Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, is a system of meditation which I am following since the last fourteen years. This meditation has brought me closer to Mother Nature and to myself. In fact, this form of meditation is a process that achieves self realisation. It is a simple method of activating the inherent divine energy residing in us in the shape of a coil on the base of spine. By activating this energy one is able to clear ones chakras by the simple method of seeking blessings from the Divine.
My son has a doting habit of lying in a relaxed position near my feet after the meditation. With his eyes closed, he gently talks about the subtle beauty and grace of nature. He enjoys soaking in its vibrations. On one such occasion, he suddenly got up and asked me to check his vibrations, which is a normal practice of Sahajayoga. Through this process of 'checking', as we may call it, we are able to decipher the state of chakras for the being. My son sat indulgently with his back facing me. I fondly placed his head on my lap. His face directed the sky and he looked calm, oblivious of the surroundings. After a while I asked him how he felt. He then slowly opened his eyes and blissfully looked at me and gave me an account of his unique experience. He told me, as I started working on his chakras, he was engulfed with a Divine feeling and saw Shri Mataji in red clothes asking him "Khush Ho Na" (Are you happy) to which he replied, "sab badiya, aap batao" (all is good, you tell me). Shri Mataji then lovingly said, "ab main thak jaati hun" (I get tired now) to which he replied, "main kuch kar sakta hun aapke liye." (Can I do something for you) Then very affectionately Shri Mataji said, "tum apni maa ka khayal rakho."(You look after your mother) He then told me, while I was placing his head on my lap, at that moment Shri Mataji had kissed on his head and said, "ab main chalti hun"(now I leave) and leaves quickly as if in a hurry.
Shri Mataji often appears in front of Her devotees in Her divine form, communicates with them and blesses them. She is omnipotent and
omnipresent. More than my son, I am in awe and wonder about the episode while he is joyous about the Divine encounter and is deliriously happy.
This happened five years ago and he has been taking good care of me and is a changed person.

I get asked a lot what my advice is for more youthful skin and the first thing I tell my clients is that the best healthy-aging product you can buy is a SUNSCREEN.
Sunscreen is essential in protecting your skin no matter your skin color and no matter where you live. Often people in the Seattle area tell me they don't wear a sunscreen because it's grey and rainy but think of it this way…..if the sun is in the sky then you need to protect yourself. I always recommend minimum SPF30 but even an SPF15 that's in your moisturizer will do the trick if you aren't outside much.
The second thing I recommend to all of my clients is a RETINOL. Our Advanced Retinol visibly firms skin and reduces appearance of wrinkles and pores. It helps fade age spots and evens skin tone. Our Advanced Retinol also contains lipids which help restore moisture barrier and minimize any dryness or peeling from retinol.
And finally…….ANTIOXIDANTS…..which help prevent skin damage and reverse damage already incurred. Our treatments are rooted in antioxidant rich solutions and our Triple C&E Complex is one of our most popular serum options. Layer your antioxidants under sunscreen for added protection.
So there you have it……the triple threat for younger, healthier looking skin……SUNSCREEN, RETINOL AND ANTIOXIDANTS!

From a young age, I've lost myself in books. I used to tuck a paperback into the waist of my jeans, then scale the magnolia in our front yard; I'd either recline in its branches or hop over to our rooftop and read. I've never done a good job of tracking what I read, and in 2016, when a friend asked how many books I'd read that year, I realized I had no idea. (Turned out at least thirty, and probably a few more that I'd forgotten about.)
I wrote about this at the end of 2016, and in that same entry, devised a reading list for 2017. I stacked it with forty books. 2017 is gone now, and looking back over that list, I'm sad to say I left half of those books untouched. I did, however, compulsively add more things to my reading list as the year wore on, and by the close of the year, I'd read 77 things.
Some I loved, some I didn't. I found it impossible to select a single favorite read of the year, so I chose four, and here they are:
Ken Liu's The Paper Menagerie is one of the rare short story collections that I loved unabashedly. The title story is a real heartbreaker, but the range displayed within this book is just stunning. Liz Moore's The Unseen World is exactly the kind of novel I wish I were capable of writing; I'd rather just read this one again, however. The Underground Railroad is simply a must-read for every American, in my opinion, and I'd say the same of The Fire This Time, a collection of essays that were challenging and powerful and essential.
I've enjoyed tracking my reading this closely for the past year, and I think I'll try to do it again. My current reading list, and a collection of the last two years' books, are over here, if you'd like to follow along. 2018's off to a strong start; I've already blown through novels by Hannah Pittard, Jesmyn Ward, and Rahul Kanakia, and I'm in the midst of Ta-Nehisi Coates's new collection, as well as Laura Lippman's most recent book, and Squish and I are working our way through the second Harry Potter novel.
Man, books are so great.

It was with more than a little weariness that I read in Community Care that BASW (British Association of Social Workers) may be about to launch their own 'rival' College of Social Work having been in dispute and frozen out of the 'official' discussions with the embryonic 'College of Social Work'.
My first response was sheer exasperation. I'm a member of BASW. I pay a not insignificant amount of money to them annually for that privilege and I have a generally warm feeling towards them (I wouldn't be a member otherwise!). I don't see them as an alternative to a union although I would actually prefer it if they were. I like the idea of a more specialist union but I'm also a member of Unison, the public sector trade union and I also pay them a not insignificant amount of money for the privilege.
A little disclosure before I continue. I'm a little miffed with Unison currently. I know their reps must be incredibly busy as jobs are going and people are being asked to take salary cuts but I've been trying to contact my branch officers for weeks about something at work that affects a few people – phone calls, messages, emails and haven't even had the courtesy of a response. I must have paid them thousands of pounds over the years, have never asked for any assistance before and honestly, on the scale of things, this is a fairly minor matter and have been wholly and completely ignored. Harumph to Unison but you know, I'll of course, keep paying. And paying.
But back to BASW and the College. BASW it seems are being steamrollered by the College and are trying to put up a fight in the form of an 'alternate college' plan. It is ironic seeing as BASW were so forceful in pushing for the existence of a College of Social Work in the first place.
BASW, it seems are unhappy with the deal that has been made between the College and Unison –
Under the deal, Unison will provide employee representation services to college members and the college will provide professional advice services to social workers who are Unison members.
First, I welcomed this potential merger but I do see an issue if BASW are going to be frozen out of the process.
As a lay-person, I see the potential role for a College of Social Work to be almost an exact equivalent of the services that BASW provides apart from having a statutory footing and the addition of trade union functions via Unison. It seems more than a little uncouth to push BASW out of the process.
I know that BASW don't have a large membership base. It can seem almost cliquey at times but as a newly qualified social worker with limited money, if I had to choose between union membership and the membership of a professional body, I would go with the union membership every time just as a means of self-preservation.
That is what BASW have to face up to.
The problem is that they seem to have taken some kind of decision to split off from the process of establishing the College of Social Work. Whether they are right or wrong (and I don't necessarily think they are wrong) there is a big problem of perception about being seen as 'disruptive' to the process. I can see how they might feel betrayed by the process of these different interest groups vying to positions of power. Retrospectively, I think they should have been given the lead role in the establishment of a College rather than SCIE (Social Care Institute of Excellence) but that's all in the past now.
I say this with a heavy heart, but I'm not sure BASW can exist as an independent 'College' and I am not convinced that their branching off will be successful in the long run. I would have prefered a BASW-led college but I think we are now too far down the 'other' path.
My 'perfect' solution would have been some kind of mass consolidation of BASW, the College and Unison (or trade union functions by another means) but that looks nigh on impossible now.
The problem is that there are few enough social workers who are engaged with the process of actively wanting to be involved in these organisations as it is. All these bickerings will no doubt put many people off membership of ANY of the organisations. You don't want to 'pick the wrong one'.
These rumblings leave a nasty taste in ones mouth and may be a disincentive for people in the social work profession to become involved.
Which will lead to the same people who like 'being on committees' and being at the head of things – mostly managers who can give themselves time off work for these things or retired/independent members – to run the same organisations and to claim to be speaking for 'front line social workers' when, in fact, none of them do because the ethereal 'front line social workers' are way too busy working to be bothering themselves with who represents them!

Organic Prospects
I've since discovered since writing this post that the best kind of organic prospects are the ones you get through targeted advertising.
You basically need to let people see that you have what they are looking for and they will buy from you once they come to know, like and trust you.
Have integrity as you promote and market to people and let it not be an attitude of what I can get, but how I can help others.
Once you follow the above you're well on you way to acquire organic prospects.
If you have a product or service you believe people can benefit from then you need to get it before them and do so consistently. Sometimes people will need reminding of your product or service and who you are before they will buy; and this may mean they see you ad a few times!

Matthew 5 – David and Rachel Zobell join us to discuss the first chapter of the Sermon on the Mount. Why were the Beatitudes uttered first? What does it mean to be meek? How are we the salt of the earth and the light of the world? Picture yourself as a Jew in the meridian of time. Can you imagine receiving teaching that the Law of Moses was fulfilled?

I'm always dabbing into new masks, searching for the perfect masks to add to my skincare collection that seems to keep growing and growing. I've experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. For awhile I've been wanting to try the Glossier Mega Greens Galaxy Pack Detoxifying Face Mask. Apparently it's a juice cleanse for your skin. It is jam packed with super antioxidants and those superpower nutrients like leafy greens for a deep cleanse, exfoliants from orange peels and moisturizing avocado oil, and a creamy white clay to purify your pores. Doesn't that just sound super good for you? How can you not be drawn in to try it.
I slathered a layer onto my slightly damp skin, after using my holy grail Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser and let it set for 20 minutes. You skin will start to tingle a bit, and you can actually feel the mask sucking out the impurities from your face. BYE BYE GUNK!! (for some of you who aren't used to this type of mask which is reminiscent of GlamGlow, it might be uncomfortable for you at first but i promise its good) I rinsed my face clean with lukewarm water and my skin looked incredible. BABY SMOOTH SKIN!!! I was left with the faintest shade of pink after rinsing and patting my face lightly with a towel. But after a minute or two I was simply left with squeaky clean, radiant, smooth, clear skin. My pores were noticeably less visible. INCREDIBLE! Who would have thought that this little $22 dollar mask would actually work as well as my $70 GlamGlow? For a little extra treatment I followed up with a 20 minute session of my trusty Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask. This Mega Greens Galaxy Mask is free of any harsh chemicals and lab crap, so that you can use it weekly or you can even use this mask as frequent as you wish. It is THAT gentle! It is for all skin types including those with sensitive skin (YAY!)
For the perfect end to the work week and/or school week, treat yourself for 45 minutes with a cleanse followed by back to back Face Masks session while watching an episode of Stranger Things on Netflix or a couple of chapters of the new Harry Potter (that's what I did, I'm a nerd. I can't help it).
For $22 (incredible price for a mask THAT ACTUALLY DOES IT"S JOB if you ask me!!!) you are recieving 3oz of product, as well as my favorite… GLOSSIER STICKERS!! You can only purchase Glossier Products on their website (Glossier.com) The packaging is minimalist cute just like all of their other products. Grab yourself a jar to try out and add some of the included stickers to it so that when you see it, you will smile while grabbing it out of your shelf. It'll remind you you to be happy and relax while wearing it. The smallest things can bring a smile to your face.

Travel, Study, Live & Work Overseas
Visa Information
It is The International Wanderers understanding that the Maldives does not currently have working holiday agreements in place with any other country.
However other types of visas are available. These could include work, student, skilled work or business visas.
For the most up to date and accurate information we suggest you contact the closest Embassy or Consulate of this country.
Volunteering in Maldives
There are a large number of volunteer opportunities to suit all tastes on this island paradise. Whether you are interested in conservation, environment, community uplift, social work or marine life everything is possible.
The turtle conservation program has three main goals, to gather turtles, care and rehabilitate them and finally release them back into the environment. Volunteers work with an established team of dedicated professionals at the Marine Centre situated in a remote part of an island. This location provides the perfect environment for rehabilitating the turtles before release.
Coral gardening is another unique opportunity where volunteers venture out in small expeditions to local islands and reefs collecting coral pieces. They are carried back to the main station where processing and attachment to frames takes place. The fragments of coral are allowed to grow in the frames until they are ready to be used to replenish the nearby reefs. Volunteers also help to monitor and maintain the frames on a day to day basis. Additional duties of volunteers include monitoring the local reefs and recording their conditions.
There are also many voluntary teaching positions available in Maldives. Positions for Teaching Assistants, Pre-school to high school workers and sports coaches not requiring any specific experience are very common. The children on the island need help with English and volunteers can help with all aspects of the language. Having conversations and playing with the children encourages the children to practice their language skills and build confidence. For professional teachers there are voluntary teaching positions all levels up to secondary school. During the free time, the volunteers can explore the uninhabited islands, snorkel and go night fishing with the locals.
Working in Maldives
One third of the work force in Maldives is made up of expatriate workers, the vast majority of which are made up of labourers. But there others like doctors, teachers, and hospitality workers from a wide range of countries. Resort industry is by far the largest employer of expatriate workers. Workers from the Asian subcontinent are so common that they are typically not seen as external workers. Whereas western expatriates, who make up a minority of the imported labour force, are considered to be "foreigners". Generally the western workforce makes up the management level of the resort industry.
The experience of working in Maldives resort industry is very different. it has to be understood that you are essentially 'trapped' on the resort island and there isn't much to do expect work, swim, snorkel, or dive. If the work environment on the resort island is not to your taste, then you will not be too happy. So before packing, make sure that your employer is an internationally recognized organization. Such places have strong rules and operating policies with HR focusing on equality with minimal cultural issues. Local employers don't always have very strong operational policies and do a lot of things on a whim. If possible get some idea of the turnover rate at the resort as it is a direct reflection of the environment at the resort.
Citizens of every nation are issued one month tourist visa on arrival at Maldives. However, employment is not allowed on this visa. If you find short term employment then, a registered Maldivian business can sponsor you and apply for a business visa that is valid for three months at a nominal cost. This visa can be renewed for three times, but you must leave the country each time and return on the new visa. Proper work visas are more tightly regulated and require that the employer apply to the Labour Department of the Human Resources Ministry to obtain a work permit quota so a foreigner can be hired. In the next step the permit has to be validated by the Immigration Department after paying a significant 'deportation' deposit in addition to annual fee.
Studying in Maldives
The literacy rate in Maldives is 98%, with schools following the British system of education. However the inland nation does not really offer a typical study environment like that found in most other countries of the world. In fact the government has a program in place to send its students to other nearby countries for higher education.
Maldives has only one university that was inaugurated in February 2011. It held the designation of a college since 1999. Some of its programs include arts, Islamic studies, marine studies, engineering, tourism, health and management. In addition to full degree programs, the university offers some short term programs.
There are many internship programs available in the country related to a variety of fields like conservation, marine life studies and reef studies. Internship programs are equally suitable for experienced professionals or students taking a gap year and wishing to gain some experience. Such programs offer no financial compensation and are strictly voluntary in nature, but participants do get accommodation, food and domestic transport. Programs require a minimum three month commitment but preference is given to candidates willing to give six month commitments.
For those interested in casual studies, then Maldives offers internationally recognized diving courses. Many of the islands have sheltered lagoons which are protected from strong open sea currents and hence provide the ideal environment for beginners. For the more serious students more advanced courses are also offered which are certified by different agencies housed on the islands. The courses are conducted in all major European languages in addition to English.

I drench my feet in the ocean,
giving me chills of nostalgia
I breathe in the cold breeze
and the debris of memories—
that's buried deep in the shore.
The sunset is still the same
Yet it feels different without you here.
There's no one left at home
only letters of goodbyes,
I remember the day you said
I need to move and grow up—
tears start to leak from my eyes.
The rooms are still the same
Yet it feels empty without you here.
I watch the leaves fall
and the sun rise; train passing
and people parting ways.
North, East, South, West—
I lost my compass somewhere.
The streets are still busy
Yet it feels static without you here.
The seasons keep on changing
when I remain a bystander;
rooted in the same spot
where we used to laugh—
why do we have to grow apart?
Until that day you opened the door
when I was about to blow the candle.
"You came", I mumbled
and we shared the same smiles again.
You are still the same
Yet looks different—better rather.
We ran back to the ocean,
sat under our favorite tree.
Up there, you hang my old shoes
and said it's time to finally walk with you.
We're leaving this place.
We're moving forward—
hand in hand.
Here's the story: as I was scrolling through my Followed Sites, I saw sunbaenim Sam posted "the train to adulthood". I only have two words after reading it: SPRING DAY. It is my absolute fave! Of course, I was right. Hahahaha! She based it from the song.
It triggered me to write something about it, too. Though, sunbaenim works are always better than mine so my apologies if this sucks ㅋㅋㅋ But this is what I really feel everytime I listen to 봄날.
It's sad but a good kind of sad because you know it's for the better? I don't know how to explain it. Just listen to the song and watch the video. Also, vote for Bangtan for the Billboard Music Award. #BTSBBMAs
If my words touch your heart somehow, I hope you consider donating. It will help me keep this blog running. I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH 💛

Everything we had read suggested that the climb into Namche Bazar was the hardest part of the whole Everest Base Camp trek.
We headed out for breakfast at 0730am - we both had apple porridge and milk tea, paid the bill for our accommodation, and headed out the door.
Entering Sagarmatha National Park
At 0845am, we hit the trail. Not far out of Monjo, we reached the official entrance to Sagarmatha National Park (Sagarmatha is the Nepalese name for Mt Everest). Here, we paid our second hiking fee - 6780r ($67.80USD) for two people to enter the national park.
Passing through the nearby stupa gateway, we headed down the stone steps past an enormous granite bluff carved with Tibetan characters. We followed the banks of the Dudh Kosi, crossing the river twice along the trail.
Eventually, we found ourselves scrambling over the rocks on the East side of the river. At one point, we spotted the foundations of an old swing bridge. Foolishly, I dumped my pack and ran up the steps, feeling light as air. Not long after I regretted my enthusiasm and wished that I'd saved my energy...
We scurried along the river banks, before turning up and climbing into the forest. As we climbed, we were rewarded with stunning views of the confluence of the Dudh Khosi and Bhote Kosi.
At the top of the hill, we reached the highest suspension bridge on the trail. As we crossed, we could see huge snow covered mountains in the distance on the right, and beautiful forested hills on the left.
The climb
Once we'd crossed the bridge, we tightened our shoe laces, adjusted our packs and steeled our resolve for the neverending climb into Namche Bazar. The 2.5km climb ascends 520m through dense pine forests.
Up and up and up we climbed. While we were hiking, it was incredibly hot, and sweat was running down my face. As soon as we stopped, the icy wind had us freezing in no time.
I was definitely feeling the altitude. While my legs didn't feel tired while I was moving, I was gasping for air and struggling to catch my breath. I just had no energy.
Zev powered on ahead, but I plodded up the hill, making sure I kept putting one foot in front of the other.
About halfway up the hill, we reached a public toilet - but not just any public toilet! This was our first view of Everest for the hike! Far, FAR in the distance, we could see the peak of Everest with its characteristic plume of cloud whipping over the summit. Not a bad bog view, that's for sure.
After taking advantage of the facilities, taking a few snapshots, and refueling with water and snacks, we got back on the trail. And up and up and up we continued. Again, Zev powered on ahead, and I brought up the rear.
A seemingly endless time later, I rounded the corner to see Zev waiting outside a small shack - we'd reached the checkpoint at Mislung, a short distance outside Namche. We presented our tickets and passports for checking, and I did a figurative dance of joy, knowing that we were now within range of our destination for the night.
We followed the trail around the hillside, still climbing up and over one final hill for about 20 minutes before being abruptly spat out in the middle of Namche Bazar, the closest thing Sagarmatha National Park offers to a city.
We wound our way through narrow alleyways packed with outdoor shops reminiscent of Thamel in Kathmandu - we needn't have worried about Zev's shoes breaking on the trail, he'd have no trouble replacing them here if they did!
Thoroughly exhausted by our climb, we found Khumbu Lodge at bang on 12pm. We checked in to our room (300r per night), dropped our bags, and headed straight down to the common room for lunch. We inhaled spaghetti bolognaise, veg noodle soup, veg momos, lemon tea and apple juice.
After such a feast, it was only fitting that we go to bed and have an accidental 2 hour nap...
Exploring Namche
Waking up feeling at least slightly recharged, we decided to head out to see what Namche Bazar had on offer.
The U-shaped town is set into the hillside, so the whole town is filled with series of steep steps, making getting around a muscle burning, lung punishing activity.
Packed to the brim with shops selling everything from ice axes and crampons to giant cow bells and metal key holders, Namche was a bustling hive of activity. Again, we realised that you could get anything your heart desired - for the right price. There was even a genuine North Face store in Namche!
Zev got himself a Buff with a map of the EBC trek on it - the wind was pretty biting when it picked up, so it was handy to cover your neck or ears with.
We wandered down through the bottom of town to see where we actually should have entered (if Zev hadn't lead us over an additional, unnecessary hill...). Running alongside the path was a small fountain driving prayer wheels, with a view up into town. It was incredibly peaceful, being up in the clouds.
We returned to the hotel, did our daily stretches, and headed down to the common room for milk tea, cards and reading.
Dinner was delicious - veg curry and rice and veg fried rice.
After a hard day of climbing, we were in bed at 8pm eating Oreos, safe in the knowledge that an acclimatisation day the next day meant that we could SLEEP IN!!
Lots of love,
Hiking summary:
Distance: 5.2km
Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
Elevation gain: 645m
Namche Bazar accommodation information:
Lodge: Khumbu Lodge
Room Price: 300r per night
Total Bill: 8900r for 2 nights' accommodation, 2 x breakfast, 2 x lunch, 2 x dinner, plus extra tea

Allahabad is home to some richly ornate and historically significant churches. As many as 14 churches across the city pay tribute to colonial, neo-colonial, Indian, Roman, Greek and modern architectural designs.
This lent season we will walk down some of these churches near Civil Lines. We start the walk at the amazing All Saints' Cathedral and then walk through the well-planned Civil Lines to the oldest church of Allahabad, Union Church and finally ending the walk at Lal Girja.
Let us put our walking shoes on and appreciate the diversity of the churches, each having a distinct identity of its own.
This guided tour is free.

In some states and in certain situations, you might owe your mortgage lender money after a foreclosure sale of your home. This happens when the foreclosure sale doesn't bring in enough money to pay off your debt. The difference between the sale price and the debt is called a "deficiency."
In most residential foreclosures in California, the foreclosing lender can't go after the borrower for the deficiency. But there are some exceptions. Read on to learn more.
When a lender forecloses, the total debt the borrower owes to the lender frequently exceeds the foreclosure sale price. The difference between the sale price and the total debt is called a "deficiency."
Example. Say the total debt owed on the first mortgage is $700,000, but the home sells for $650,000 at the foreclosure sale. The deficiency is $50,000.
In some states, the lender can seek a personal judgment, which is called a deficiency judgment, against the borrower to recover the deficiency. Generally, once a deficiency judgment has been obtained, the lender may collect this amount—in our example, $50,000—from the borrower by doing such things as garnishing wages or levying a bank account. (To learn more about deficiency judgments in the foreclosure context, see Deficiency Judgments: Will You Still Owe Money After the Foreclosure?)
In California, foreclosures can be either judicial or nonjudicial. Judicial foreclosures are administered though the state court system, while nonjudicial foreclosures have no court supervision and are handled by a trustee. Most residential foreclosures in California are nonjudicial. (For more on the difference between judicial and nonjudicial foreclosures, and the typical process for each, see Will Your Foreclosure Take Place In or Out of Court?)
In California, a lender can't get a deficiency judgment after a nonjudicial foreclosure. (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 580d). Because most residential foreclosures are nonjudicial, this means that most Californians going through foreclosure don't have to worry about being on the hook to the foreclosing lender for a deficiency judgment.
If the lender chooses to pursue a judicial foreclosure, deficiency judgments are generally allowed. To get the deficiency judgment, the lender must file an application with the court within three months of the foreclosure sale. The judge will then hold a fair value hearing to determine the fair value of the property. The deficiency judgment will be limited to the lesser of:
But even if the lender uses judicial foreclosure, deficiency judgments are not allowed in cases where the loan was:
According to California's one action rule, the lender can only pursue one form of action for the recovery of a debt or mortgage. (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 726(a)). This means that a mortgage lender is only allowed to:
Security First Rule. The one action rule seemingly gives the lender the option to sue the borrower personally based on the promissory note and forego foreclosure. But courts have interpreted the rule to mean that a lender must pursue the secured real estate first. This is known as the "security first rule". This means the lender cannot sue on the promissory note as the first method of collection. (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 726(a)).
If you're a California homeowner facing a foreclosure and want to learn about any defenses you may have or about different ways to avoid a foreclosure, consider talking to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, a HUD-approved housing counselor can tell you about foreclosure avoidance options.

"Since establishing a division of our business here in Queensland two years ago and not
having the luxury of own transport facilities as we do in our home state of Victoria, we
required the services of a reliable transport firm to move our structural steel gantries
around Brisbane.
By sheer coincidence we established our yard within the same facility as Forrest
Transport at the time, and without any prior knowledge or having used their services, we
decided to "give 'em ago" so to speak. We have to say this was one decision we never
regretted. Since our first delivery, we have had Forrest deliver and pick up our gantry
sections from all around the Brisbane area, many at irregular hours, and their
performance could not be questioned.
Their team of drivers and supervisor always assists us in the loading of our materials,
and they have always had a truck available for us at short notice, whenever and
wherever we require them. Their office staff are pleasant to deal with, as are their
operators, and nothing is a problem to them. We have found Forrest Transport to be an
asset to our organization, and as our reputation requires heavily on a first-class transport
contractor one cannot go past Steve Forrest and his team.
Be like us "give 'em a go" you won't regret it."

Steve and his crew are always willing to take on whatever is required to get my projects over the
line. They've rearranged loads at the last minute to suit client requirements, stored goods when site
wasn't ready and even at times taken the lead in liaising with site contacts to ensure that everyone
stays in the loop.
I'd say, and I know it may sound corny but, Forrest are always happy to go the extra mile.

It is with pleasure that I provide this letter of testimonial for Forrest Transport Services.
My association with Steve Forrest began some years ago with his humble beginnings of one truck
and trailer, providing some interesting logistical moves to service myself as a Structural Steel
Fabricator, and to keep his set services in operation. This was obviously very successful as we have
seen Forrest Transport grow to the large trucking outfit they are today.
I try to use Forrest Transport exclusively as they are able to provide the equipment and driver
expertise required for the movement of untreated and treated Structural Steel to our construction
Sites within South East Queensland and as far as Cairns.
I certainly can recommend Forrest Transport Services to any prospective client, I am sure you will
receive the personal care from Steve that I have enjoyed for some years.
Yours Faithfully, Peter Pilarski

I know this is basically "old news", but I just can't help to find myself still shocked over this…
Matt Lauer literally got fired.
I mean, at this point, new accusations of sexual assault in the world of prestigious people seem to be happening daily. If not, more than daily. Who will be next? It will be somebody's turn tomorrow. I hate to sound cynical – but, am I the only one who finds myself occasionally questioning if these can all actually be real?
There are always those people you think look like a creep and would totally not be surprised if you heard such an accusation. But, there are also those people where you still can't believe it even once they have admitted to it themselves.
But, nonetheless, what's done is done and Matt Lauer has officially been fired.

And, in the midst of it all, here's what you need to know:
He isn't getting the rest of his money, honey.
Of course, like we have seen recently with the long string of football coaches being fired…
Typically, someone like a news anchor, coach, etc. who is under contract receives a pay out upon the termination of their contract. However, Matt didn't get so lucky with this…
He will not be paid for his last day of work nor will he be paid out the additional millions he would normally be owed per his contract.
Not everything you see on the internet is true.
Last week, Matt released his statement and they read the full statement that morning on NBC.
He noted that while not all the accusations and things being said about him were true, or some might have just been a little tweaked…
He did apologize saying there was enough truth to mean he deserved the consequences.
So, of course, this is completely open to interpretation, but I would say he definitely isn't completely innocent. I mean, he sounds a bit guilty, of at least something, right?
In the end, it will all blow over.
For anyone who loves journalism or is really into the morning news and might actually be heartbroken over the news of Matt Lauer…
Here's your sing: It will blow over eventually and he will be replaced.
Sadly, we have gotten numb to situations like these and they all blow over at some point. Some, after only a few days.

Thyroid Support
Also known as: Autoimmune Thyroiditis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Thyroiditis (Autoimmune).
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to function adequately, resulting in reduced levels of thyroid hormone in the body. Cretinism is a type of hypothyroidism that occurs at birth and results in stunted physical growth and mental development. Severe hypothyroidism is called myxedema.
There are many causes of hypothyroidism. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland and the second most common cause of hypothyroidism. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is medical treatment, such as surgery or radiation to the thyroid gland, to treat hyperthyroidism (over-activity of the thyroid gland). Some drugs, such as lithium and phenylbutazone, may also induce hypothyroidism. Extreme iodine deficiency, which is rare in the United States, is another possible cause. Failure of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus to stimulate the thyroid gland properly can cause a condition known as secondary hypothyroidism.
Some people with goiter (an enlargement of the thyroid gland) also have hypothyroidism. Goiter can be caused by an iodine deficiency, by eating foods that contain goitrogens (goiter-causing substances), or by other disorders that interfere with thyroid hormone production. In many cases the cause of goiter cannot be determined. While natural therapies may help to some extent, thyroid hormone replacement is necessary for most people with hypothyroidism.
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism? The symptoms of hypothyroidism vary from person to person, but commonly include several of the following: fatigue, lethargy, intolerance to cold, constipation, weight gain, depression, excessive menstruation, dry skin, hair loss, and hoarseness. The onset of these symptoms may be so gradual as to evade detection by patient or physician.
Conventional treatment options: The preferred conventional treatment for hypothyroidism is the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levothroid, Levoxyl).
Dietary changes that may be helpful: Some foods, such as rapeseed (used to make canola oil) and Brassica vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower), contain natural goitrogens, chemicals that cause the thyroid gland to enlarge by interfering with thyroid hormone synthesis.1 Cooking has been reported to inactivate this effect in Brussels sprouts.2 Cassava, a starchy root that is the source of tapioca, has also been identified as a goitrogenic food.3 Other goitrogens include maize, sweet potatoes, lima beans, soy, and pearl millet.4 While some practitioners recommend that people with hypothyroidism avoid these foods, none has been proven to cause hypothyroidism in humans.
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful: Preliminary studies have found an association between multiple chemical sensitivities and hypothyroidism.5 One study found a correlation between high blood levels of lead, a toxic heavy metal, and low thyroid hormone levels in people working in a brass foundry.6 Many of these people also complained of depression, fatigue, constipation, and poor memory (symptoms of hypothyroidism).
Occupational exposure to polybrominated biphenyls and carbon disulfide has also been associated with decreased thyroid function.
Nutritional supplements that may be helpful: The relationship between iodine and thyroid function is complex. Iodine is required by the body to form thyroid hormone, and iodine deficiency can lead to goiter and hypothyroidism.7 Severe and prolonged iodine deficiency can potentially lead to serious types of hypothyroidism, such as myxedema or cretinism. It is estimated that one and a half billion people living in 118 countries around the world are at risk for developing iodine deficiency.8
Today, most cases of iodine deficiency occur in developing nations. In industrialized countries where iodized salt is used, iodine deficiency has become extremely rare. On the other hand, iodine toxicity has become a concern in some of these countries.9 Excessive iodine intake can result in either hypothyroidism10 or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).11 Sources of iodine include foods (iodized salt, milk, water, seaweed, ground beef), dietary supplements (multiple vitamin-mineral formulas, seaweed extracts), drugs (potassium iodide, amiodarone, topical antiseptics), and iodine-containing solutions used in certain laboratory tests. Many nutritional supplements contain 150 mcg of iodine. While that amount of iodine should prevent a deficiency, it is not clear whether supplementing with iodine is necessary or desirable for most people. Those wishing to take a nutritional supplement containing iodine should consult a doctor.
Laboratory animals with severe, experimentally induced zinc deficiency developed hypothyroidism, whereas moderate zinc deficiency did not affect thyroid function.12 In a small study of healthy people, thyroid hormone (thyroxine) levels tended to be lower in those with lower blood levels of zinc. In people with low zinc, supplementing with zinc increased thyroxine levels.13 One case has been reported of a woman with severe zinc deficiency (caused by the combination of alcoholism and malabsorption) who developed hypothyroidism that was corrected by supplementing with zinc.14 Although the typical Western diet is marginally low in zinc,15 additional research is needed to determine whether zinc supplementation would be effective for preventing or correcting hypothyroidism.
Selenium plays a role in thyroid hormone metabolism. Severe selenium deficiency has been implicated as a possible cause of goiter.16 Two months of selenium supplementation in people who were deficient in both selenium and iodine was shown to induce a dramatic fall of the already impaired thyroid function in clinically hypothyroid subjects.17 Researchers have suggested that people who are deficient in both selenium and iodine should not take selenium supplements without first receiving iodine or thyroid hormone supplementation.18 There is no research demonstrating that selenium supplementation helps people with hypothyroidism who are not selenium-deficient.
Preliminary data indicate that vitamin B3 (niacin) supplementation may decrease thyroid hormone levels. In one small study, 2.6 grams of niacin per day helped lower blood fat levels.19 After a year or more, thyroid hormone levels had fallen significantly in each person, although none experienced symptoms of hypothyroidism. In another case report, thyroid hormone levels decreased in two people who were taking niacin for high cholesterol and triglycerides; one of these two was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.20 When the niacin was discontinued for one month, thyroid hormone levels returned to normal.
Desiccated thyroid, also called thyroid extract (e.g., Armour Thyroid), is used by some doctors as an alternative to synthetic thyroid hormones (such as thyroxine [Synthroid or other brand names]) for people with hypothyroidism. Thyroid extract contains two biologically active hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine), whereas the most commonly prescribed thyroid-hormone preparations contain only thyroxine. One study has shown that the combination of the two hormones contained in desiccated thyroid is more effective than thyroxine alone for those with hypothyroidism.21 One doctor reported that thyroid extract worked better than standard thyroid preparations for many of his patients with hypothyroidism.22 Glandular thyroid products, which are available from health food stores, have had most of the thyroid hormone removed and would therefore not be expected to be effective for people with hypothyroidism. Intact desiccated thyroid is available only by prescription. Hypothyroidism sufferers who want to use desiccated thyroid must first consult with a physician.
People with hypothyroidism have been shown to have an impaired ability to convert beta-carotene to vitamin A.23 24 For this reason, some doctors suggest taking supplemental vitamin A (approximately 5,000-10,000 IU per day) if they are not consuming adequate amounts in their diet.
Are there any side effects or interactions? Refer to the individual supplement for information about any side effects or interactions.
Herbs that may be helpful: Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is a type of brown seaweed that contains variable amounts of iodine.25 Hypothyroidism due to insufficient intake of iodine may possibly improve with bladderwrack supplementation, though human studies have not confirmed this.
Some Chinese herb formulations show promise for people with hypothyroidism. In one study, people with hypothyroidism were given a combination of Chinese herbs.26 After one year, symptoms of hypothyroidism were markedly improved and blood levels of thyroid hormones had significantly increased. In an animal study, administration of certain Chinese herbs raised thyroid hormone levels in the blood.27 Neither study listed the specific herbs used. People with hypothyroidism who wish to use Chinese herbs should consult with a physician skilled in their use.

This fashion week proposal was characterized by the combination of patterns and textures that gave life to the cool color palette, very ad hoc with the seasons representing, his main sources of inspiration were the films of Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins, and the work of cartoonist Dr. Seuss, known for his portrayal of the Cat in the Hat. The hats, designed by Stephen Jones, were the stars, large pieces of mohair and velvet adorned the heads of the models, the mad hatter style, becoming the main accessory in the fashion week collection. The furs, fabrics, prints or shawl way, were the main garment, above the dresses or pants. Finally, shoes, decorated with flowers and crystal stone buckles, copied the style of the film's most famous nanny, Mary Poppins, and footwear used by early settlers of Plymouth in the United States. Moreover, the scene of the catwalk complemented the theatrical atmosphere. The artistand friend of Marc Jacobs, Rachel Feinstein, was commissioned to design the scenery depicting a ruined castle built entirely with paper. Related articles
