#SaturdaySkinny: Final #WW Meeting Of 2018/
How the heck did we get to the final meeting of 2018 already? With 2018 coming to a close that means we are RAPIDLY approaching our 1-year anniversary of arriving in the Netherlands (14 January). I want to wait to do a bigger post about how our first year living in Europe and doing WW has gone when we hit the 1-year of us joining (which is later in January).
Right now I want to focus on how we are ending 2018 and a quick check on what I want to achieve in 2019.
So when we last met, I had tracked the last 5 days of the week and saw my best weight-loss at the scale in ages. One can only guess what my focus on this past week would be… you guessed it?
Nahhhh kidding… it's tracking. Okay actually it is still water, but for the point I was trying to make it was tracking.
Even with Christmas during the week, I wanted to track everything I ate or drank over the week to see how that went. Again it would be judgement free because I knew I was going to indulge, but I wanted to make sure I indulged on things that were actually worth it to me!
Christmas was Tuesday and the wife had ordered a turkey (freakin pricey, but she really wanted it) so she heated that up successfully in our combi-microwave. We don't have an actual oven. I want to applaud her for making an amazing dinner and some delicious mashed potatoes (my favorite).
We were able to control our environment and didn't bring in the really tempting foods into the house, but made sure we didn't feel deprived.
We got a 2nd Christmas for the first time! 26 December is known as 2nd Christmas in the Netherlands and more commonly known as Boxing Day in other countries. We opted to take this day (since we both had it off) to check out the Christmas decorations in the city center… oh and an afternoon drink! ;)
It was an awesome day and I would say more fun than Christmas. I think I can get used to having a 2nd Christmas. :)
Despite going waayyy over on points for the week, I was really proud in my choices. I know this was a better Christmas weeks than in the past since we didn't have to go to any Christmas parties and I didn't waste points on anything I didn't want. I also racked up over 100 fitpoints doing activities I love AND it wasn't as punishment for the food choices I made, but because I love moving my body!
I will say thanks to my fitpoints I only ended up -78 for the week. I think those 78pts were all booze and again totally worth it. ;)
Let's see how the points played out over the week:
Saturday: 75 pts eaten (had to guess as we ate out that night); 13 fitpoints earned
Sunday: 52 pts eaten; 17 fitpoints earned
Monday: 33 pts eaten; 18 fitpoints earned
Tuesday: 82 pts eaten; 13 fitpoints earned
Wednesday: 54 pts eaten; 15 fitpoints earned
Thursday: 38 pts eaten; 15 fitpoints earned
Friday: 27 pts eaten; 18 fitpoints earned
I only had 1 day where I earned a blue dot (within 7pts of my daily target)., but I do have 5 pts a day for my fuel for my workout (3 for pedialyte + 2 for WW protein bar) which would take a couple days closer to a blue dot.
I did keep all of my Simple Habits intact. I really think the extra activity and adding in some strength work is helping me see some better results on the scale AND helping me feel better overall physically.
We made a pact to go to our meeting no matter what the scale would say because the support of that room has really been keeping us going. Unfortunately almost everyone was out of town for the holiday, but we still stayed for the meeting.
Before stepping on the scale I listed my 3 positives for the week:
1) Tracked every day (even to the tune of -78 pts for the week)
2) Enjoyed our Christmas and didn't feel deprived at all
3) Kept my streaks alive
And you know what… hit my lowest weight since moving to Amsterdam and probably the last 18 months!!!
DOWN 3.3 lbs/1,5 kg!!!
Total Lost: 64.6 (47 with WW)
Current weight: 170.4 (77,3 kg)
Heaviest (recorded) weight: 235
Weight Watchers Start weight: 217.4
Goal weight: 155
Lowest weight: 150.2
Wicked happy to be ending 2018 with six weeks of losses on the scale, but more importantly a better mindset for 2019!!
I of course want to return back to goal (15 lbs/7kg to go), but I want to get back to the place mentally where I felt strong and confident. Looking back at 2018, I lost that almost from Day 1 of the year. Between work and relocating, my mental strength took the largest hit. Refocusing on me the past 2 months has been a huge step and I can tell how much it pays off. I NEED to keep this going in 2019.
I want to focus on less "all or nothing" thinking in 2019 when it comes to food and fitness. I also need to stop being a workaholic before my body breaks down from working 60-80 hours every week. Plus I miss out on having a social life and making friends when all I do is work. While I am striving to be back at goal for the Paris Marathon (April) or my return trip to Boston (May), I really want to be back to the self-confident and self-loving me by then. I know with a healthy mind, the scale follows. Less pressure on the number (which has been my focus the past couple months) and more on living…
As I said I will share more of a retrospective on relocating and our 1-year of Dutch WW in January, but for now I am happy with the positive trajectory of the past couple months and especially the last 2 weeks when I was - shocker - tracking!! :P
Happy New Year to All!! Thanks again for being part of this journey and for letting me be a part of yours…

Don't get trapped by drip pricing tactics | News.com.au
CONSUMERS can easily be lured into paying more than they expect when shopping online through a trend known as drip pricing.
From airlines and hotels to concert tickets and car hire, the practice of promoting one price but then slugging you with extra charges later is growing.
Our consumer watchdog, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, has been targeting drip pricing this year and is warning people to be vigilant.
Drip pricing is when a headline price advertised at the beginning of an online purchasing process grows into a bigger price by the end as extra costs — often unavoidable — are "dripped" or incrementally added.
ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard says these extra costs can include postage, booking fees, insurance, luggage and choosing a seat on a plane.

'Nothing more precious than poetry/The jewel of humankind'
Nothing gives that much joy
Nothing is worth living so much
As the most beautiful act of making art
Nothing is more precious than poetry
Nor wealth
Nor love
Nor friendship
Nor nature
Everything is passing
Everything is uncertain
But for this flower
Blossoming in my soul
Taking advantage of my heart and mind
Leading to self-destruction
Once started
The power is impossible to stop
Let us pass away in the name of poetry
The jewel of humankind

poetry, the jewel of mankind,
wow, live the idea.
super cute and brilliant indeed…
Happy Potluck!

The extremely popular and potent cannabis strain, Afghani, is an indica that's been cross-bred with a plethora of other strains. It's named after its geographic origins, blossoming in Afghanistan within the Hindu Kush Mountains. It bears a sweet, earthy aroma that tastes similar – some claiming it to have lemony undertones. Afghani buds are extremely dense and coated in a thick layer of trichomes.
Afghani is known as a landrace strain, being first cultivated by humans from the wild cannabis-sativa plants within the Afghani region.
Its THC content averages at 14% but have known to reach 17%. The high of this strain mostly affects the body, not the mind, though it will elevate happiness within the consumer due to its relaxing indica effects. If consumed properly, it will cause an increase in appetite so expect the munchies, and a head-to-toe body euphoria that brings relief to many that claim victim to chronic pain.
If too much is consumed at once, this strain will make it difficult to move, couch-locking the consumer and more than likely inducing a deep sleep. This strain is often a wonderful choice to help with insomnia.
Afghani was originally cultivated to produce hashish, which is popular in its country of origin.
Want to know the differences between Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid strains?

Contact: Charla Jackson Peter
(502) 564-7630, ext. 454
On Thursday, October 13, awards honoring excellence in affordable
housing were presented at the 2011 Kentucky Affordable Housing
Conference in Lexington.
Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), the conference host and state
housing finance agency, sponsored the awards to honor builders,
nonprofit organizations, and others who have made outstanding
contributions to the state's affordable housing industry in the last
Becky Bleemel received the 2011 Homeownership Award
for her outstanding service and innovative achievement in providing
affordable homeownership solutions to Kentuckians. Ms. Bleemel lets
clients know they are her clients for life and not to hesitate to call
her if any question or concern arises, even after the loan has closed.
The 2011 Nonprofit Organization Award was presented to Kentucky Domestic Violence Association (KDVA),
which recently opened KDVA Homes, a project 5 years in the making.
KDVA Homes is 48 units of permanent supportive housing for domestic
violence victims and their families who are at or below 60 percent of
area median income. The goal of the housing project is to help victims
and their families become empowered and self-sufficient. Units are
located in four cities throughout the Commonwealth: Louisville,
Morehead, Murray, and Paducah.
Receiving the 2011 Nonprofit Affordable Housing Builder Award was Buckeye Community Hope Foundation,
for outstanding service and contributions in building affordable
housing for Kentuckians. Buckeye Community Hope Foundation has
developed more than 40 Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects, three
HOPE VI planning grants, and two implementation grants in the early
1990's. They partnered with Kentucky Housing Corporation and several
other entities to develop Walnut Forest, a rehabilitated 48-unit
apartment complex in Franklin, Kentucky, and Taylorsville Place, a
24-unit, new construction complex in Taylorsville, Kentucky.
The 2011 Energy Efficiency Leadership Award was presented to Louisville Metro Housing Authority
for steadfast leadership in implementing and coordinating strategies
and solutions to improve energy efficiency in Kentucky homes. The
agency has aggressively invested in new and renovated energy efficient
housing and offices throughout the city. Their premier green site is
Liberty Green, a HOPE VI Revitalization project currently nearing
completion on six blocks in downtown Louisville. The site's name aptly
describes the community's environmental standards. Every rental and
homeownership unit at the site is constructed per Energy Star efficiency
guidelines and equipped with Energy Star labeled appliances, resulting
in significant utility cost savings to residents.
Da-Ranco, Inc. received the 2011 For-Profit Affordable Housing Builder Award.
Da-Ranco works to assist homebuyers in south-central Kentucky, an area
often overlooked by developers. By using a mix of private bank funds
and funds from the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Da-Ranco helps
many Kentuckians with disabilities. Recently, the company completed a
project housing modifying the living unit of a legally-blind couple to
accommodate the couple's visual needs. The company also assisted an
extremely low-income family of a 17-year-old girl who suffered a
traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident 5 years ago. The
family's dilapidated mobile home was unfit for their daughter's
extensive needs. Da-Ranco stepped in and built the family a brand new,
two-bedroom unit with full handicap access, allowing the family to bring
their daughter home from a nursing care facility.
J. Dale Sights was awarded the 2011 Homeless Leadership Award
for providing steadfast leadership in implementing and coordinating
strategies and solutions to end homelessness in Kentucky. Mr. Sights is
a successful businessman and a civic leader within his hometown
community. He is a member of the Governor's Task Force for Recovery
Kentucky and the CEO of the Women's Addiction Recovery Manor (WARM).
Mr. Sights' passion for recovery is evident as he speaks about the WARM
center and the many people who have rebuilt their lives through his
intervention and placement into recovery centers. As he walks down the
halls of the WARM center, Mr. Sights addresses each individual by name
and knows his or her story. But for his wide reach and passion, many of
the individuals who he encounters daily would be homeless. He is a
driving force of support in our state's battle against homelessness.
The Mae Street Kidd Award is presented to an individual who
has demonstrated outstanding public service and made great strides in
promoting affordable housing for Kentuckians. Don Clem started
with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1986,
working in the former Assisted Housing Management Branch. He retired
as director of the Louisville HUD Office of Public Housing. Mr. Clem is
considered a top Housing Choice Voucher program analyst/adviser and
coordinated much of the successful goal attainment of the Southeast
Network of Public and Indian Housing. He was most proud when he could
translate program success into the number of families and individuals
who received housing and/or services.
The recipient of the 2011 Dorothy J. Williams Lifetime Achievement Award,
which is awarded to an individual who has devoted much of their career
to helping make the dream of affordable housing a reality in Kentucky,
was Abraham Williams. Mr. Williams started
his career as the housing manager for the Phenix City Housing Authority
in Alabama in 1977. Managing 650 units of public housing, he created
youth sports, elderly, after-school, and job opportunity programs. In
1987, he became the housing director responsible for 1,092 housing
units, 600 Section-8 units, and all educational, sporting, and elderly
Mr. Williams came to Kentucky in 1995 when he
accepted the position as executive director of the Housing Authority of
Bowling Green. In his time there, Mr. Williams created a variety of
programs, including homeownership, elderly, youth, and sports for
housing residents, as well as the local community.
Also recognized was Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing for its contributions as a partnering agency in the conference.
"Many Kentuckians benefit from these individuals and agencies
assisting us in providing safe, quality, affordable housing," said KHC's
CEO Richard L. McQuady. "KHC cannot do it alone, and we are proud to
call all of those who work with us 'partners.'"
Kentucky Housing would also like to recognize this year's pint-size
winners from KHC's 2011 "My Own Kentucky Home" Art Contest. All
promotional materials for the 2011 Kentucky Affordable Housing
Conference used artwork submitted by children across the state for
previous years' contests, which awards children in three age groups. In
2011, the winners were Courtney Lynn Scott, from Louisville, Kentucky,
for the 10-12 age group; Sadie Wilkerson, from Owensboro, Kentucky, for
the 7-9 age group; and Wolfsion Goff, from Shelbyville, Kentucky, for
the 6 and under age group.
Kentucky Housing Corporation, the state
housing finance agency, was created by the 1972 General Assembly to
provide affordable housing opportunities. As a self-supporting, public
corporation, Kentucky Housing offers lower-than-market rate home
mortgages, housing production financing, homeownership
education/counseling, rental assistance, housing rehabilitation, and
supportive housing programs for special needs populations.

Quantum-Field Laser Laboratory, KW An's Group
Quantum Chaos Study using a BEC
WEM(m=8) expected to form in a BEC contrained in a circular potential. We aim to realize a non-integrable system with a BEC formed in an optical potential of various shapes and use it for the next-generation platform for studying quantum chaos.
BEC(Bose-Einstein condensate) is a phase-transition phenomenon in which all Bosons condense to a ground state below a critical temperature.
The ultracold atoms in a BEC are described by a single wave function with phase coherence.
Since the potential and the interaction bewteen atoms can be well controlled in a BEC, it is quite useful in studying manybody phenomena directly.
We aim to realized a next-generation quatum chaos system with a BEC by taking advange of its phase coherence and good controllability of experimental parameters,
We should be able to control the interaction strength between atoms by adjusting the atomic density and the scattering length and to form the optical potential in a desired shape. Thereby, we expect to find new quantum chaos phenomena never observed in the existing systems and explain their orgin and utilize them.

SEC Raises Net Worth Threshold for 'Qualified Client' Status to $2.1 Million Effective Aug. 15, 2016
As it previously signaled it would do, on June 14, 2016, the SEC issued an Order (available here) increasing the net worth threshold for qualification as a "qualified client" under Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act from $2 million to $2.1 million (the SEC did not adjust the assets under management of the adviser threshold, which remains at $1 million). This is the Rule that permits registered investment advisers (and their affiliates) to charge and receive capital gains-based fees, including performance fees characterized as carried interest or promote interest payments.
The change becomes effective on Aug. 15, 2016, although the Order indicates that the increase will not be applied retroactively to contractual relationships entered into prior to that date (provided the transition conditions of Rule 205-3 are met). Registered investment advisers who charge such fees, including investment advisers sponsoring or otherwise affiliated with private fund offerings that anticipate holding one or more closings on or after contact their attorney assisting them with regulatory and/or fund formation matters now to begin the process of updating the necessary documentation and com August 15, 2016, should consult with their counsel orpliance procedures.

One of my photos from my trip to Ghana with Oxfam America is featured towards the end of this interesting publication Foreign Aid 101: A Quick and easy guide to understanding US foreign aid
Oxfam America Video: In Ghana, a call for transparency
This video (featuring some of my photographs) tackles the question of financial transparency in Ghana. Boakye Dankwa Boadi, a representative of a prominent human rights and environmental organization in Ghana asks what exactly oil companies in Ghana are trying to hide and calls for transparency. He calls on the American Petroleum Institute to drop its court case to block the payment transparency provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
"The efforts of Mr. Boadi and others in Ghana to promote transparency and responsible governance are under threat. He sees legislation like Dodd-Frank as a measure that will help them check the money coming in to the government with payments reported by the companies themselves. He says this will help Ghana "cross the path of poverty" to becoming a more developed nation." - Chris Hufstader

Oxfam America: Photo of the Week from Ghana
Oxfam America's photo of the week is a blog post by Chris Hufstader: Mining money funds new market in Ghana. Citizens are watching where oil and mining revenues go in Ghana — will the money fight poverty? This is one of the photographs from my recent trip to Ghana with Chris and the Oxfam America team.
Oxfam America Article: Elections and Oil: Ghana's Choice
A new blog post from Oxfam America (with photography from my recent trip to Ghana) talks about the need for Ghana's next government to focus on completing the job of constructing a transparent and accountable system for managing the oil and gas sector.
Oxfam America Article: Ghana riding transparency roller-coaster
This recently published article by Chris Hufstader of Oxfam America tells one of the stories that I photographed earlier this year whilst I was in Ghana. The article talks about transparency of resource revenues in Ghana, so that citizens can see where their national wealth goes.
Working in Ghana with Oxfam America: Following the Mining Money
Hurricane Sandy hit New York as I was about to fly to Ghana, delaying me in Manhattan for a few days before I managed to get out on a standby flight once the airports re-opened. Once I arrived in Accra, I met with the Oxfam America team, and we set off to the Western Region of Ghana. I was working with Chris Hufstader, documenting the flow of the money generated through mining and oil in the country and where it goes. The people of Ghana are asking their government to use the revenue from these natural resources to benefit all people in the country. Here are some photographs of the trip:

Writing Vocal Music/
I believe it's important to honour the singers who perform our music - and to give them work where the music feels so natural that it flows out of them, allowing them to put all their attention to conveying the story to the people listening. This doesn't mean the music has to be dull, cautious and non-virtuosic. I think there are three essential elements to writing vocal music that sits comfortably for singers.
The first is TEXT.
Singers sing words. Words come with inbuilt rhythms, pulses, inflections, accents. Words convey meaning. Many years ago I studied acting. The work I learnt then for approaching text - to sit with the text and discover what words to emphasize, what words to throw away, where to pause, where to rush - has been invaluable to me as a composer. It is the same work to compose. I think - write your text down. Read it aloud. Find the most important words in the piece and ensure they are the climax of the song. Find the accented words, find the throwaway words. Find the stanzas, find the phrases. Find the character whose words these are. What will they need musically?
Secondly SING IT.
Ask a singer if they can tell when pieces have been written at a keyboard. They'll probably roll their eyes. A work written at a keyboard might be harmonically marvelous but a singer sings. Over and Under tone singing aside, voice is a one note at a time instrument. A melody instrument. Writing at the keyboard, with the harmony playing won't give you a sense of whether the work makes melodic sense. How can you do that? Close the lid of the piano and sing it yourself. You don't have to be able to sing well, you're the equivalent of a seamstress's dummy. But if the melodic line doesn't sit well unaccompanied for you, I believe that's a great indication the work isn't finished.
Thirdly LINE.
The rainbow shape of a phrase line is telling isn't it? I find it hard to stay attentive when I listen to vocal lines that are agile and jumpy without a helpful overall phrase shape I can relate to. I think agile lines most need the scaffolding of carefully architected shape. And like interior design where a feature colour means two throw pillows and one pot plant against a neutral background, an exotic interval will become a feature by being used sparingly and strategically placed.
I'm currently setting some of Psalm 22 for a lent piece for Emlyn. Here, I want the anguish of major sevenths and tritones. I'm only setting the first part, the most bereft text of the psalm. But I don't want Emlyn or his audience distracted by the jumps - ooh tricky, can he do it? It's not a stuntman show! I want him to find the line natural and expressive so he can put all his attention to conveying the anguish and despair of the text for his audience.
This is my work then. I've decided YOU HAVE LAID ME IN THE DUST OF DEATH is the climax of the piece. Because Jesus is quoting this psalm and addressing God, I think it is important that "You" (God) is a high note in the phrase. If it was a different character, appealing to a different "you" this might not have made sense.
I have decided to end high - and jump the line up for the last three words. It's only a C, which a baritone can sing comfortably quietly, but higher would be thoughtless on my part. Lower voices - basses, baritones, contraltos and low mezzos, can sing high notes. They'll let you know how high they are comfortable. But the key is to use the top notes sparingly and for the lower voices they tend to be easier loud. A beautiful high, soft, floating melody is something to leave for the tenors and sopranos. However I suspect, having lived with a rather representative baritone for twenty five years, I've got a good feel for baritonial comfort and this jump up for this last three notes will be low enough to sing quietly and can offer more room for emotion than staying low. My instinct is also that the current notes for "fragments of pottery" are a bit twee. But it might be alright. Things to ponder.
Still playing a few chords for security so there's still work to do!

Jose Feliciano's Anthem Encore

"Can you find us a lamb?" I was asked.
I don't know what I was expecting from the filmmaking process as one of 60 teams participating in the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival's Filmmaker Showdown, a 72-hour filmmaking competition. But this wasn't it.
"Can I dress up Teddy in a lamb's outfit?" I asked hopefully. After my little dog's debut in Modern Dog Magazine I thought the silver screen was the next logical step.
His filmmaking career was put on hold, however. One phone call later, the three of us, Kevin, Brad and myself, were chasing sheep this way and that while farmer Jordan Sturdy looked on laughing.
"I think you should be making a movie of this," chuckled the Mayor of Pemberton, who wore the hat of animal handler for an hour.
I now know why animal handlers get paid the big bucks.
We needed a shot of a sheep in a kitchen and seeing how squeezing a sheep into the back of a hatchback and driving it from Pemberton to Whistler and back wasn't an option, we opted for the blue screen route – shooting a subject against a blue background then removing that background and overlaying the subject onto another shot.
It was a bit of an odd sight: white clouds stretched out over a green farm scene of pigs, chickens, barns, wire fences and a sheep, standing on a piece of blue cloth in the middle of it all with a camera pointed at it.
A visit to North Arm Farm in Pemberton (which by the way will be opening for asparagus season in the near future: check future Table Scraps columns for details) was definitely a filmmaking highlight for the weekend.
Seventy-two hours never felt so long, productive and full of the unexpected. Two trips to the clinic (thanks Nurse Gillis for getting us in and out), slicing cucumbers in mid air (extra trips to Nesters for retakes), multiple shots of smashing a tomato into an actor's face to get the perfect splat (Taylor, you throw like a girl) and setting a fire in a frying pan with 10-inch-high flames kept us busy… laughing. Despite the odds and the Roam premiere squeeze in, the film came together – securing the rights to music from Vancouver's hottest gypsy-jazz band at the last minute tied everything together (be sure to check out their music at www.fourthstreetdjango.com ).
We weren't chosen as one of the top eight films, but as cheesy as it sounds, we are all winners: aside from completing a film, I had so much fun becoming a part of the creative experience with teams collaborating, sharing info and equipment for the greater good. All of the filmmakers I spoke with were really proud of their films, whether producing a showdown finalist or future calling card, it didn't matter.
"I already won," mocked one of the filmmakers hugging his new Avid program, which was awarded to all of the 60 teams even before the showdown began Friday morning at 10 a.m.
Everyone will have their moment in the sun, even if they didn't win the trip-to-Mexico prize, all entries will be screened at the Whistler Film Nights' Filmmaker Showdown edition May 5 at the Garibaldi Lift Company.
Showdown done; writing one of the chapters on Saturday for The Collective Novel Experience left to go.
I love how the festival not only showcases creativity, but also inspires it. The name says so little about what the festival is really about. Skiing and snowboarding is such a small part of it for some – depending on what side of the lens you are standing on.

15 Golden Rules of Moviemaking from Director Danny Boyle There are varying moral compasses around the world aimed at a myriad of different coordinates, but the tenet that seems to point due north is the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This applies even to filmmaking, which tends to create pressure cookers of human interaction where emotions run high and pleasantries reduce to barked orders. At times, filmmakers may feel a bit lost, whether it's with having to deal with a room full of egos or finding your own "esque." Director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later, Trainspotting) offers great perspective with his "golden rules of moviemaking," which could put even the most lost filmmaker back on course.

How to Create a Lightbox for Camtasia Videos Tutorial If you've ever wanted to display your Camtasia videos in one of those very cool looking "Lightboxes" you see on many Web 2.0-like sites, here's one way to do it. First, a sample of what we're talking about: And here's the tutorial on how to create your own Lightbox for Camtasia videos: DSLR tips for beginners: How to shoot better HD video Maybe you initially bought a digital SLR for faster performance, better picture quality, more creative control, or all of the above. But then -- either before or after you got it home -- you realized you could use it as an HD video camera, too. After you shot your first few movie clips, however, you may have discovered that shooting good video with a dSLR or other interchangeable-lens camera isn't necessarily as easy as just pressing Record. Admittedly, this is more or less the situation I found myself in. I have plenty of experience with using point-and-shoots and regular camcorders for video and digital SLRs for photography, but I'm new to using a dSLR for HD video.
17 Killer Presentations Tips for Students Who Want to Stand out by PowToon! The best presentation I ever heard was about soap.

The whole room chuckled, and he proceeded, "Now I'm going to tell you how this bar of soap has destroyed society." My jaw dropped.

Produce Your Best Ever DSLR Video—6 key areas to consider "The use of D-SLR cameras for professional movie and film capture has taken off like wild fire. Almost every videography professional with whom I have worked either uses a DSLR for filming or has tried it," shares Skyler Proctor, an Idaho Falls, Idaho, based director of photography. "I personally like the smaller format D-SLR because the FX sensor is so large and gives a look no other 'typical' video camera format really can.

Before we set of on this journey, as usual you can click the photo above to see ALL the photos. However I have had a comment as follows:
wyddfa said: The most boring set of pictures of Snowdon/Snowdonia ever - stretched across 9 entire pages!
For those of you who wish to join the shorter journey please carry on.
So I woke looked around and then put my head back down. Just 30 more minutes then I'll get up. Before you know it I was round Les eating egg on toastie whilst he was preparing to get ready himself. A nip up the road to my Brothers, the local Esso garage and we where flying up the M6 and then across the top of Wales heading for Llanberis.
At Lanberis some time later, we have a quick drive around and then park the car up. Les seems horrified at the £4 a day parking tariff which considering how long we where going to be I thought was OK – has he haver parked at the Bullring?
We get our gear together and I put my contact lenses in.
The sign says this way.
We enjoy the local notice board and then head over to the Summit Railway.
Here I buy the O.S. map and the local map. It runs through a few things you should take on the walk.
1. Compass and guid map/book – check
2. Walking boot/walking shoes – check Les your buggered.
3. Walkiing socks including a spare set. Check me – you pair are buggered.
4. Walking trousers, no jeans – All check ok
5. Warm upper body clothing – All check
6. Gloves – nope
7. Torch and spare bulb and batteries – 3 telephones
8. Whilst and note paper and pencil – 3 telephones to text with.
9. Survival bag – oh bugger we forgot the survival bag.
I thinks its best we skip the rest and head to point
15. camera. – yes we have one of those.
Well the first stop is the watefalls near the bottom
And when I said near the bottom what I meant was up a very step walk which got all 3 of us panting. Are we really all this unfit.
Not that we stop. I mean who's going to back out at this point.
You do know he could have driven the car to here don't says Les.
Well thats one amzing waterfall you have made us come to Les.
Does Nack really think we are going to get to the top? Well give me the map back and we'd better cut across here to get back on track to the mountain path.
Its across the railway here.
And so off we head in the "general" right direction.
Past the waterfall – best not to get too close.
Across marshy land.
oh look the chu chu, lets wave.
I'm not waving at no train, which I'd like to point out we should be on – said Les
Les where would the fun be in that. Anyway over this style onto the railway and across the bridge, we'd better rush in case the train comes back…..
Nice view off here.
Over another style and into a grassy field, erm also marshy.
Onto some tarmac, the going should be easier here.
The lads being to work up a sweat.
From tarmac to path. Not far now.
I've got to have a rest, these hills are killing me.
Once rested up we set off again.
Much slower of course than everyone else on the trail.
The summit must be over there somehwere
With my amazing contact lenses on I can see that this path just goes on and on.
Sometimes and mainly upwards.
The path becomes snowy
Why oh why did I agree to this last night?
Then the snow goes but the climb upwards does not.
I get to a gate.
Yep the path goes on for ever through here.
I look back they are slowly winding their way up.
Veiw ahead looks nice.
At the gate Rob and Les have a rest.
I'm not sure it would be a good idea to show them where we have got to on the map. It might be soul destroying.
Not long now and up they get.
And the path goes on and on and on, and on.
I'm not sure but I think we're heading to that big whitish thing.
ah look there's the train again.
Lets wave.
and off it rattles.
And so we continue the ever upwards journey.
What do you mean you need a rest?
Where are we on that map?
Tell me its not far now?
Look its not far to the cafe a the half way point we'll stop and have a cup of tea there.
and so we plod on and on and on
sometimes through snow.
sometimes not
With no cafe in view….
It can't be far away now surely?
LEs stops to admire they view.
It is slowly getting snowier.
oh what's that ahead?
Look its the cafe.
I look back but I'm actually talking to myself.
And here we are on the map.
We go in have a chat with the lady there and order some teas, cakes and sandwiches.
What the lady doesn't realise is that she has meat her best customer of the day!
Whilst here we learn some Welsh chit chat which is going to prove most useful.
Having got up I know there not going to want to. 'm now wet with sweaty clothing. Er yuk.
Anyway I'm out of the door.
I look behind me. Are they coming?
Ah here they are.
Look at these three plonkers they'll never make it.
From the cafe onwards there is a notice increase n snow coverage
Which doesn't break. We slow down even further.
Ah look there the chu chu wave.
The snowy path goes on and on.
Yes I know they're loving it now.
I plod along my damp Hi Tec walking boots doing alright in the slippery stuff.
Yep their coming slowly – no doubt enjoying the scenery more than me.
I plod along my damp Hi Tec walking boots doing alright in the slippery stuff. This is going to be their very last adventure. I have soggy feet thankgod for those spare socks!
I wonder if Santa lives up here?
Erm doesn't that look….cold.
And then once more the gradient increases.
Which does mean the views get better.
Do you think he's goning to make us go all the way?
You know my brother when he has something in his mind
They catch me up once more
but there's still a long way to go, well looking at the map.
And another break. Do they need oxygen?
Les carry's on climbing in his trainers.
Look at the lake down there
all frozen up.
Look lads a fence to cling to.
The climb is slippy but there's ample chance to take in the gorgeous winter views.
and yes they are clinging to the fence.
Well I'm knackered. We rest here for a while.
I've got to say I'm really enjoying this walk. We must do it more often.
Look over there, thats where the path keeps going and going and going.
We clamber up and get to where you pass under the railway.
Will it be any more snowier on the other side?
Sure is.
Real wintery now.
This sucks.
Come on I still can't see the top.
I don't think it exists Nack give in.
All these other peaks have a summit.
Just up here there got to be something interesting there's a gathering of people.
Wonder what's going on here.
A lot of chit chat about not going any further.
You know its more slippery than ever.
Well its the end of the railway line.
And the start of some very deep snow.
I can see the path ahead still though
Are you serious?
Les it will be alright, trust me
Les and my brother follows me up the path but they are really struggling.
And if they are struggling getting up then they are going to struggle more getting down.
It is decided that Lss is going back tot he half way cafe. Nack is going to continue to the summit his come this far and he's not turning back (yet) and my brother doesn't want me to die alone. How reassuring.
Les wanders down to safety
and we turn around and head on up. Look we aren't the only people going for it.
We take it easy up the narrow path
As we get higher the veiws truely get better and better.
and the path steeper.
Your serious about continuing? You can't even see where the path ends or the summit is?2
I'm going to die…..
This path goes on forever and ever.
and ever.
wish I'd brought my snowboard with me, and come up on the train.
I'm never going to the pub with you again.
and we walk and walk
and walk.
and walk some more.
ah look ground.
well for a short while back to the snow.
Look look look
there it is the summit. How exciting.
A wintery look over the lakes below – not so frozen.
The summit get closer and closer.
Looks like it going to get tough.
Les would have loved the views from up here.
The monolith stone.
My brother slips my brother slides but best of all off he strides.
The end is in sight and he has lost his fright.
Proberably helps that we are not alone up here now though.
This is obviously the way,
Looking back to where we have come from.
What do you mean your struggling again.
Thats right use your hands that's what there for.
Can't be far now.
Nope it not there it is – I do a dance.
shucks someone has beaten us to it!
I don't think he's listening to me anymore.
Erm nice gear we should get ourselves some of that.
Up up up
Ah the cafe – closed mind I've been told on the way up by a girl in a tea cosy.
If I follow these pair they could help me up if I fall.
Look s like the birds are awaiting a victim.
and da dar here we are. Well nearly.
Get on up there so I can get your photo.
Push them off the side they're all in the way to the perfect shot.
Well that will do. He even looks exhausted. I can't think why.
Guess I'd better get up there myself.
Erm I knew I forgot something. A pick axe.
I ponder what they are looking at.
Wow weeeeeee.
To see this view you need to click the picture.
To see this view you need to click the picture.
Well here is the top of the stone.
And my brother finally smiling.
Look thats my hand.
I got to say though I'm shattered too and its kind of cold.
So how long did it take, click the photo. Boy it was worth it though. How many people see it like this?

No I won't come down until everyone else goes home and you get a decent shot of me up here on my own.
Done and dusted
What do you mean you think we should leave. You do know how far it is back down don't you?
Now there's as many photos going down as there are going up. But I'm not going to put you through it. That would be as painful as the this walk.
The thing was, apart from the slippery nature of the surface the way down was easier than up, after all gravity was on our side.
All the iciness wasn't
The fresh air was good though.
Blimey not far to the half way cafe now.
And here is the half way cafe, trying to close but her best customer was still in there.
I knew you where alive, some girl with a tea cosy on her head said she'd seen you nearly at the top.
come on lets go there only so much tea one person can actually drink with out a toilet.
We hit tarmac yeah
And there the bridge near the water fall.
ah back at the village
thankgod there's the car. I can't wait to put those spare socks on. I wonder how long it took to get down? Well you can see by clicking the photo.
So we sat in the car, and I turned and said getting home could take a while I don't think I can use the clutch very often shall we stick to third gear?
And don't forget if you enjoyed these photos there another 900 to enjoy!

If you're interested in learning more about working with me, the first step is to schedule your free consultation. This "discovery" session serves as a feeling out process of sorts, so we can decide whether or not we're a good fit to move forward with a coach-client partnership.
Once you've scheduled, you'll fill out a short discovery form and coachability index, which allow me to better prepare for your specific needs. We'll focus primarily on refining your goals to improve your chances of success, but we'll also discuss obstacles to those goals as well as any patterns you have noticed in your health or any chronic issues you may have.
If we both feel ready to move forward together, our next step will be to decide on an initial length of time for our partnership, typically between 21 days and 12 weeks, and discuss payment options.
Once I've received payment, you'll fill out an in-depth intake form to provide a more detailed picture of your health history, support system, work and home environments, etc, and schedule your initial consultation. From here, I'll put together a week-to-week plan to guide us through our time together.
Now the real work begins! Though I always make room for specific needs of each client, weekly coaching sessions are the norm through the course of a program. I like to work in two-week blocks, alternating between long and short sessions. Longer sessions provide education and introduction of new concepts or practices; these typically happen via video (Zoom) or phone. Shorter sessions are for checking in, celebrating successes, troubleshooting struggles, and making small tweaks; these can happen via phone, video, or email (client's choice). All of my ongoing clients are also free to text or email at any time with quick questions or issues.
At the end of our predetermined time frame, we'll reassess your health and goals, and decide whether you're ready to progress on your own or would prefer more support.
Questions? Let's chat!
I'm happy to discuss the coaching process in further detail during our call.

Resolution: Skin #NOTICETHELOTUS
I can honestly admit I haven't given my skin the best care for hmmm, most of my life. My perspective on my skin care changed a few years ago. I turned 30, and although my wrinkles were barely noticeable, I knew I should start taking care of myself and my skin. I also realized that my sensitive skin reactions weren't so minor but actually allergic reactions to dyes and other synthetic ingredients. (I also have bad reactions to synthetics in food, but let's focus on skin products.)
This is where derma e comes in. Derma e uses natural ingredients along with cruelty-free green chemistry. Their message states, " Everything we do considers the health of you skin, the health of the planet and our overall passion for health and wellness." Basically, derma e is skin care that cares.
If you want to give your skin and yourself the much deserved love and care, start the year off by a quick trip to Target for some derma e skin care products.
I was extremely excited to give a few derma e products a try. For 7 days I used 4 derma ebeauty products. I was impressed most by the Firming DMAE Eye Lift. I am not gonna lie and say my wrinkles were erased instantly, however, after a few days there was a noticeable difference. The skin around my eyes looked smoother, brighter, and a bit tighter. As if I had a great night's sleep. Obviously I did not have a great night's sleep being that I tried these products starting a few days before Christmas and I have an 8 year old and 4 year old who desperately need my full attention at the same time!
Also during this derma eproducts testing week I used their Hydrating Night Creme, Hydrating Day Creme, and the Firming DMAE Moisturizer. After a full week of using these products my skin is softer and brighter, my skin tone is more even, and the texture is most definitely smoother and supple. All the products I used felt light on my skin and blended easily into my skin. A plus is that I actually liked the smell of the products, the scent is very light. The Hydrating Night Creme definitely made my skin feel amazing in the morning.
After using these products I feel more comfortable and confident with my skin. Being that I have had skin reactions in the past, I love love love that I can feel safe using derma eproducts. Although I was given samples of these products for review, I will actually buy them at Target for myself as well as gifts for others. My husband is actually a big fan of the Hydrating Night Creme for himself.
The best part of this all is that these awesome derma eproducts will be available at Target! The fact that derma e will be sold in Target means you can having amazing skin using natural ethical products at afforable prices!
This year resolve to give your skin some actual care with derma e!
#NOTICETHELOCTUS at Target in 2016...derma e has arrived!

Find LinkedIn information on profile cards
Even before you connect your accounts, you may see some LinkedIn profile information such as a person's LinkedIn profile photo, name, company, and job title on profile cards in Microsoft apps. After you connect your accounts, you may see additional LinkedIn profile information. For example, a birthday or invitation to connect. When communicating with a colleague in Outlook, you can easily see if you and your colleague share a common connection on LinkedIn. Here's an example of LinkedIn information on a profile card in Outlook:
Updates from LinkedIn on profile cards
After you have connected your accounts, you can get updates about people you interact with. For example, if a colleague has a birthday, title change, or work anniversary, the information may show up on their profile card.
How can I see my own LinkedIn profile information on my profile card?
To see your LinkedIn information on your profile card, hover over your own name in a Microsoft app. For example, Outlook. Open your profile card and select the LinkedIn tab to see your LinkedIn profile information.
Your Microsoft account will only show information that you have made available on your LinkedIn profile according to your profile settings.
If you don't see the LinkedIn icon in your Microsoft work or school account, your organization has disabled account connections.

I'll be up front with this: Sleepless in Seattle is not a movie that espouses Christian values. People are living together and knowing each other in the biblical sense (or, if you've seen Captain America, are 'having fondue') before they are married . There is any number of things, I'm sure, that can be found to be wrong with this film. But the film never pretended to be something it was not in that regards, so there you go.
I'll also be up front with this: It is one of those rare gems that tells the story of how boy comes to eventually meet girl in a way that is overall quite chaste, but not sugarcoated, either. The hard parts of life are not glossed over – the loss of a spouse, suddenly becoming a single parent, wondering if you're with the 'right' person. But even in the midst of the hard stuff, there are smiles and laughter, jobs and run-of-the-mill responsibilities, friends and family providing guidance and encouragement. Though some may find the premise implausible, I still find a normalcy, an every-day feel to the tale it spins. And with so many movies splashing seemingly implausible situations and expectations for how to start or grow a relationship, this movie remains, for me, a breath of fresh air in the realm of 'boy meets girl/girl meets boy'.
Take a peek yourself, if you would like, at a romantic comedy done right:

The walk-in queue allows you to present a list of customers that have checked-in to your store through the walk-in app.
You would need to enable the queue in your back office first before you can use it.
1. Log in to your back office and go to Settings > Walk-in
2. On the walk-in settings page, enable "Show queue".
3. On this page, you can also turn on "Enable service provider" and "Enable select service".
An example of what the Queue looks like below:
What is this feature capable of?
- When a customer checks in, the user can allow customers to select a service provider. The walk-in app will only show the service providers scheduled that day.
- When you allow customers to select a service, the walk-in app will only show services with "Sell Online" enabled.
- If a customer is 'in service', the customer will be removed from the walk-in app queue
The Walk-in app will also calculate the wait time for the customers in the queue
The Logic used to calculate approximate wait time for customer checking in to the walk-in queue works as follows:
- Only currently working employee is taken into account (based on the schedule)
- If no service was selected for check-in - the longest service duration is being used
- Check-in without employee assigned will put to most optimal (lowest wait time) queue - first available employee
- Check-in with the employee assigned will first be put in the free gap between bookings/previous check-ins, then at the end of the queue to a specified employee
- Queue screen - wait time is minimum time after which some employee queue will be empty
- Provider/service selection screen - wait time will be time to start check-in
- Provider/service selection screen - when check-in group of people (secondary-contacts) - show wait time for each person individually

Crain's Cleveland Business discusses Opportunity Zones and our Fund's recent blog post on the topic.
In this Crain's Cleveland Business article, our Fund discusses the set of measuresments we put forth in The Two Tomorrows and why we believe it to be an effective way to measure the economy.
"The Two Tomorrows report challenges us to 'choose extraordinary.' We should. We can -- but only if we also choose to include everybody," writes Jan Roller, a partner in Cleveland's Giffen & Kaminski law firm, in this opinion piece on cleveland.com.
The Business Journal of Youngstown reports on our Fund's grant to support worker mobility pilots.
Fund Vice President Bethia Burke discusses our Fund's Two Tomorrows report and its 10 priorities for a more extraordinary regional economy on WVIZ.
This Plain Dealer story covers the growing community conversation around how the Northeast Ohio economy is doing.
"'The Two Tomorrows,' a recently released report on the critical economic problems facing Northeast Ohio, should be required reading for every elected official and civic leader," writes Brent Larkin in this opinion on cleveland.com.
The Plain Dealer covers a local convening on mobility, data and equity, during which Fund President Brad Whitehead presented data showing how access to jobs has declined in recent decades in Northeast Ohio. He asked: "Can innovation end distance discrimination?"
By Andrew Atkins, WKSU
The Fund for Our Economic Future has released a study assessing Northeast Ohio's economy. The Two Tomorrows report envisions two futures.
It finds that Northeast Ohio may struggle as long as it deals with issues of poverty, economic polarization and systemic racial exclusion and inequality.
Bethia Burke, the director of strategy and resource allocation for the fund, says cooperation may be the key to solving those problems.
By Olivera Perkins, The Plain Dealer
The Fund for Our Economic Future intends for its recently released "The Two Tomorrows" report to provide a "collective sense of purpose" that will spur action, said Brad Whitehead, president of the alliance of funders that includes foundations and other nonprofits, employers, government entities and universities.

Players to sport AIDS awareness ribbons during 4th ODI
Kochi, Apr 5 (UNI) The fourth one-dayer between India and England here tomorrow will serve to spread awareness about AIDS with the players sporting red ribbons and two young HIV positive girls accompanying the skippers to the ground during the toss, the Kerala State AIDS Control Society (KSACS) said.
In a statement here today, KSACS programme officer Sajai Kumar said two HIV positive girls Vidya and Chithra would go with Rahul Dravid and Andrew Flintoff to the centre for the toss.
The players will sport red ribbons, the insignia of the National AIDS Control Society (NACS). During the lunch break, songs on HIV and AIDS awareness would be played in the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, the venue for the 4th ODI.
The KSACS said it was being supported by the Kerala Cricket Association and other social organisations in its efforts to spread awareness about HIV-AIDS, especially the need to treat victims in a humane and compassionate manner.

- "Ultimately, Belia was betrayed and murdered by her own followers. A familiar occurrence in the histories I have read."
- ―Hetton
In 1230 BBY during a subset of the New Sith Wars called the Sictis Wars,[1] the Dark Lord Belia Darzu was assassinated by the Mecrosa Order,[2] a secret society based in the Tapani sector.[3] The assassination occurred after an alliance between Lord Darzu and the Mecrosa had fallen apart.[2] Despite their former connections with the Sith, the Mecrosa sought revenge against Darzu for her unwanted incursion in their territory.[3] In addition, Darzu was betrayed by her own Sith followers, who somehow participated in her murder.[4] Using poison, the Mecrosa ended the Dark Lord's life on Tython,[3][1] a planet located in the Deep Core of the galaxy.[2] The death of Lord Darzu sabotaged her army of technobeasts, the Metanecrons.[3] The Sith were also left without a clear line of succession for a new holder of the Dark Lord mantle.[5]

Continuing with his 'Shirdi magic' tirade, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took another jibe at Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal over his reported involvement in a company that has allegedly defaulted on payment of loan.
Attaching a news item and using a hashtag #PiyushGhotalaReturns, Rahul Gandhi commented in Hindi that there was "no limit to Shirdi's magic" (translated).
Gandhi's 'Shirdi magic' remarks were in reference to a Mumbai-based company Shirdi Industries, whose chairman until July 2010 was the current Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.
The Congress Party is demanding the resignation of Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and a judicial inquiry into alleged links between his family and debt-ridden companies.
Also read | Jay Shah, Shaurya Doval, Nirav Modi…BJP now presents 'Shirdi magic': Rahul Gandhi
The Congress chief has launched an offensive against the BJP and its leaders over allegations of graft while seeking to puncture their claim that there is no corruption in Narendra Modi-led government.
The main opposition party at the Centre asked why Goyal has not disclosed his business interests in connection with the Shirdi Industries Limited.
The Congress had previously accused Goyal of "impropriety and conflict of interest" due to his alleged links with private firm Shirdi Industries.
While addressing a press conference on 5 April, Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Veerappa Moily and Pawan Khera had alleged that Goyal was chairman and whole-time director of Shirdi Industries from 25 April 2008 to 1 July 2010 during which the company took a loan of Rs 258.62 crore from a consortium of banks headed by Union Bank of India.
Goyal later resigned from the company's board and the company was subsequently declared sick due to its inability to repay loans.
In response, Goyal had said that he has no conflict of interest in Shirdi Industries. Responding to the allegations levelled by Congress, a statement on behalf of Goyal had said the judicial proceedings of national company law tribunal in fact clearly highlight the transparent process adopted for turning around the company Shirdi Industries.
"The malicious statement by Congress about Goyal factually misleads and makes incorrect conclusions and is full of factual inaccuracies, mixes up of dates and alludes to events with no relevance to Goyal's brief association with Shirdi Industries," a statement had said.

Kate Bosworth, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Waterhouse and more fabulous beauty trend-setters have rocked the top knot look of late and we're keen to copy!
What is a top knot, you ask? Think of it as a high bun. Yes, that's right, the bun is back. But it has returned in a much cooler form. The top knot doesn't just sit on the back of your head like an apricot strudel; it announces itself to the world perched atop your crown like a grand peacock.
But let's not get carried away! How can you work this trend into your everyday beauty routine? Use it to add a bit of glam to your Saturday night outfit, or give it a go for work.
Not sure you can pull it off? Of course you can! The style is flattering because it allows your eyes to shine and it gives you a mini facelift (if you pull it tight enough!)
To help you get it right, we asked celebrity hair stylist Brad Ngata from Brad Ngata Hair Direction to fill us in on the where, what and how!
What's the inspiration?
"It's the result of the 'effortless chic' revolution," says Brad. "The look is being heroed by cool NYC-style models, such as Erin Wasson, who give off the "I'm too cool to do my hair" vibe but still manage to always look fabulous. Since its arrival, we've seen varied forms on the runways of everyone from Marc Jacobs to Gucci."
How do you achieve a top knot?
"The trick to getting the look right all has to do with the texture of your hair at the starting point," explains Brad. "I would recommend using style foam blasted into damp hair. Once it is dry, use a sea salt spray at the root for extra grip.
Whip your hair up into a high pony and secure with an elastic band. Wrap hair around the elastic and hold with bobby pins.
Once it is secure, pull some strands out to make it look modern, cool and relaxed. Finally, give it a light misting of hairspray for extra hold."
What face shape does it suit?
"The best face shape is oval because the position of the top knot is ideal at the crown and the eye is drawn upward elongating the neck but I'm always an advocate for everyone giving new trends a go," says Brad.
