Below are links to the government and NHS websites relating to the virus and we would urge you to be as informed as possible. Please speak to your allocated worker about any concerns you have.
GOV - coronavirus (COVID-19) goverment responsse

Leaving care service staff list and contact detals
Below is also a document setting out details of other agencies in Newham that may be able to offer you assistance.
Overview of services in Newham
We are working to ensure that all leaving care Personal Advisers/Social Workers have access to WhatsApp video call functions which could be used in place of face to face visits.
Duties to support care leavers up until the age of 25
If you are a care leaver aged 21-24 and have a current allocated personal adviser you can now request support from the Leaving Care Service up to the age of 25 if there is a need.
If you don't have a Personal Adviser already you can contact the duty service on 020 3373 3617 or 020 3373 3618. A Personal Adviser will then arrange to meet with you to complete a post 21 assessment of your support needs - this support could be from the Leaving Care Service or you maybe signposted to other services.

Your rights
The support we must give you by law:
Having a good understanding of the rights you have as a care leaver is really important. There are certain things that we have to provide you by law such as a Personal Adviser, pathway plan and assistance to meet your education, training and employment needs.
You can find more information available in the Care Leavers Offer which you can find on the right hand side of this page.
Following changes introduced through the Social Work Act 2017, you will be able to ask for support from your Personal Adviser up to the age of 25, whether you are in education / training or not.
Your right to be heard and taken seriously
You have a right to be involved in all decisions about your plans for leaving care. You have a right to support from an advocate if you want to challenge decisions about the support we give you.
Access to records
Childrens Services must keep all of your case records such as reviews, assessments and pathway plans. You can ask to access your records or you could ask just to see some specific information. Once you have requested access to your records they will be prepared and some third party information (about other people) may be removed. Your Personal Adviser will be able to explain more about this and support you with applying for access to your records.
For more information about your records and how to request access to them see the guide access to your records.
Education, employment or training
The law says we must provide you with assistance with expenses linked with education, our commitment to you is set out in the Newham Care Leavers Offer. In particular:
- A higher education bursary of £2,000 if you go to university.
- Somewhere to stay during university holidays if you are in full time higher education
- Access to education and employment support via the Newham Virtual School
Staying Put
We will do our best to support you to stay with your former foster carer up to the age of 21, if this is what you and your foster carer want. Your Social Worker will have all the details on staying put or you can read the guide from catch 22: Staying Put: What does it mean for you? (PDF 1MB).
Being heard
Ensuring that Newham's care leavers have a voice and that you are able to express yourself and be heard is very important to us.
If you are unhappy about something you can always talk to your Social Worker, Personal Adviser or another adult you trust such as a teacher. You can also talk to the Children's Rights Service. You can email email@example.com, phone them on 0800 0152 443 or text them on 07854 085996.
If you want to make a complaint about how we are treating you, ask your Social Worker or Personal Adviser to help you to complain.
Accessing your health records
We are keen for all Care Leavers to be able to access a copy of their health records at any time. The Looked After Child (LAC) nurse service works to provide all care experienced young people with a copy of a Leaving Care Health Passport, along with personalised health history information at the age of 16.
However there are also other ways that you can access your health records and health history:
- GP online services - to access your health records on information about your medication, allergies, vaccinations, previous illnesses and test results, hospital discharge summaries, appointment letters and referral letters.
- NHS app - that can be downloaded to a smart phone or tablet. It lets you book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions and access a range of other healthcare services.

— If you had an ischemic stroke – a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain – medicines and lifestyle changes can help to lower the chances of having another stroke. If you had a transient ischemic attack or "TIA," these same things can help prevent a full-blown stroke.
Medicines and lifestyle changes work together to give the most benefit. It's very important that you take all the medicines your doctor prescribes. It's just as important to make the lifestyle changes your doctor recommends.
Medicines — If you had a stroke or TIA, your doctor or nurse will prescribe medicines to lower your risk of having another stroke. Some of these medicines work by "lowering your risk factors." That means that they help lower blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. Other medicines help by keeping blood clots from forming. (Blood clots cause many strokes.)
Medicines that are especially important in preventing strokes include:
●Medicines to lower blood pressure
●Medicines called statins, which lower cholesterol
●Medicines to prevent blood clots, such aspirin or blood thinners
●Medicines that help to keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible (if you have diabetes)
Whatever medicines your doctor prescribes, make sure you take them every day as directed. If you cannot afford your medicines or if they cause side effects, talk to your doctor or nurse. There are often ways to deal with these problems.
Lifestyle changes
— Lifestyle changes can do a lot to lower your risk of stroke. That's partly because the right lifestyle choices can help control risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Besides, the lifestyle changes that help lower your risk of stroke can also help prevent lots of other health problems.
Here are the most important lifestyle changes:
●Stop smoking, if you smoke
●Get regular exercise (if your doctor says it's safe) for at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week
●Lose weight, if you are overweight
●Eat a "Mediterranean" diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, and low in meats, sweets, and refined grains (such as white bread or white rice)
●Eat less salt (sodium)
●Limit the amount of alcohol you drink
•If you are a woman, do not drink more than 1 drink a day
•If you are a man, do not drink more than 1 to 2 drinks a day
Help with quitting smoking — If you smoke, ask your doctor or nurse about how to quit. There are strategies and medicines that can improve your chances of success. Studies show that people are most successful at quitting if they take medicines to help them quit and work with a counselor. You might also have a better chance at success if you combine nicotine replacement with one of the prescription medicines that help people quit.
You can also get help from a free phone line (1-800-QUIT-NOW) or online at www.smokefree.gov.
- Dr. Carlo Oller (emergency physician with www.DrER.tv) has put together more than 1800 FREE patient education videos which can be found at www.patienteducation.video
- Please contact Dr. Carlo Oller at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to use his videos in your own website, or educational materials. Or if you would like some more information or education on a title NOT available at this time.

- Gain insights into clinical trial protocol writing and regulatory approval
- Attend and present at several regularly scheduled conferences and research meetings
- Spend time in a variety of laboratories at either UT Health San Antonio, UTSA or UT Austin to gain exposure to different aspects of drug discovery or development.
- Participate in 2.5 days/week of research clinics. At least one of these clinic days will be spent evaluating new patient referrals for clinical trials under the supervision of licensed clinical research staff physicians.
Year 2
Fellows will continue to be involved with the clinical research and projects from year 1. In addition each fellow will run and initiate an entire study until completion of their program, under the supervision of staff. This will incorporate patient selection, data management, necessary decisions related to protocol adherence as well as necessary changes and amendments to improve feasibility as well as patient safety.
- Serve as co-principal investigators on several other studies and as a sub-investigator on colleagues' protocols.
- You will be encouraged to design and initiate an Investigator Sponsored study.

I'm sad that I'm going to miss the second stage f the Spirit of Revolution Tournament. Stage 1 really kicked things off right. If everything goes right this tournament could be talked about in SoCal for a long time. My pick is still El Gallinero. Even if he doesn't win it all, an appearance in the finals will be a huge boost for him.
Stage 6 of the Spirit of Revolution is scheduled for the same night as XPW's Rapture. Revolution Pro's shows usually go about two hours to two and a half hours, so you should be able to make both if you are so inclined. However, I don't know what that says for Rev Pro guys being on the XPW card.
On a non-SoCal note, WWF has been good lately. I was ready to give up on them a few weeks ago. Even the Tazz and Rhyno match was good tonight. I'm glad they have finally started to get their act together.
I have a feeling we are closer than ever before to getting Survival Tobita in SoCal. Lord knows we need him.
If you haven't done so yet, check out Nick Ramirez's (ViolenceXPW) column on XPW1.com. He makes some excellent points regarding the XPW title situation. You can read his column here.
Here is some more Sabu results from All Japan. These are from Puroresu Power:
June 3rd in Okayama: Sabu defeated Giant Kimala in 11 minutes, 58 seconds with a moonsault press.
June 4th in Shimane: Abdullah the Butcher & Giant Kimala defeated Yuto Aijima & Sabu in 9 minutes, 29 seconds when Butcher used an elbow drop on Aijima for the win.
Vampiro's manager, Bob Barnett has said in a recent post on rec.sport.pro-wrestling that Vampiro will be facing Sabu at XPW's Rapture on July 7th. If this is indeed true, it makes it that much worse that XPW stripped Sabu of the belt. They could have gone 1 show without the title being defended. Like I have said before, Sabu spent over a year getting that title over, and XPW threw all that in the trash. Angle or not, it is stupid.
Don't forget to drop by the SoCal UNCENSORED chat room. It is fantabulous!
See you this weekend.

Escape the grind with this scenic coastal walk around England's largest island.
Tired of all the hustle and bustle of city life? Here's a better alternative: Dust off your hiking boots and hop on a ferry to the Isle of Wight! This hidden gem is as dramatic and wild on the coasts as it is quaint and bustling in the small villages and towns peppered across the landscape.
The Coastal Path covers about 107 kilometres and is chock full of secluded beaches, impressive seaside cliffs, historic monuments, and more. Not to mention, numerous nature reserves make it a unique place for exploring diverse plant species and wildlife, so there's a bit of something for everyone. The island was even designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1963, and two of its coasts were recognized as Heritage Coasts for their unspoilt natural beauty. The journey from London to Portsmouth, where you can catch a ferry to Ryde, is around two hours, so this is the perfect island getaway that isn't actually so far away!
If you're super keen and on the hunt for a real workout, you can hike the coast in about 4 days, but if you're more into sauntering around the island, poking around in the smaller villages, and soaking in the views, the official Isle of Wight Tourism website recommends spreading it out over 6 days. We've broken it up into 7 days with distances ranging from 12 to 20 km per day.
Start off by warming up your legs with a gentle 13.8-km walk from Ryde to Cowes, where you'll pass through two historic towns, stroll past abbey ruins, a former royal residence, and a modern-day vineyard.
Overall, the Coastal Path is relatively gentle with undulating hills except for the southern coast where it traverses the downs and a couple short steep climbs and descents on both sides of Chimes. End your walk by returning to Ryde, Isle of Wight's largest town, where Union Street and Ryde High showcase a range of international cuisines and proper English pubs to celebrate the end of your journey.

Big, strong, dark and handsome. I'm standing under a mighty Ponderosa Pine and it is my new favorite tree. The orange-brown color, the vanilla smell, and the puzzle-like texture of the bark are all so captivating. It's the weekend and my husband and I are out exploring. We end up outside of Featherville in the Baumgartner campground. We set up camp beneath this pine, the canopy dense enough to create a circular open space at its base.
Ponderosa Pine © Valerie Connor
Over the weekend, we get to know this tree and its inhabitants. The first morning we watch western tanagers flying in and out of its branches, flights of yellow and red flashing overhead, their fluty calls making us smile- so cheerful and uplifting. Later the nuthatches flew in and nimbly scurried around the trunk, excavating for insects. Gray jays swooped in looking for handouts.
Pinus ponderosa is a long-lived, common tree throughout the western U.S. They are drought-tolerant trees with a thick protective bark that can withstand low-intensity fire and have a deep tap root. Old growth ponderosas can grow up to 180 feet tall and 4 feet in diameter. The cones are 3 to 6 inches long, and take two years to mature. The bark starts off dark brown and turns to orange-yellow at about 90 years of age. Ponderosa needles are bundled in threes and they are five to ten inches long.
Ponderosa Pine thrives from Canada to Mexico and from the Pacific Coast eastward to South Dakota, an area that stretches over more than 35 percent of the area of the United States. They make good lumber and were mercilessly harvested over the course of a century of railroad building and development in the West. Concurrently, fire suppression became the defacto forest management policy. Over time, the buildup of flammable materials on the forest floor resulted in hotter fires that the trees were not designed to withstand. The combination of these two factors quickly diminished the forests across the Western US.
The science of Forestry is well known, yet poor management practices persist today. The Nature Conservancy is taking a stand for forests, offering resources, expertise, science and collaboration to help restore and protect our forests. Find out more about our forest initiatives here.
Back at the campground, we pack up. It rained overnight and the trees look vibrant in the morning light. The tanagers fly in, alight on a high branch and peer down at us. We decide to stay just a few minutes longer and bask in the peaceful shade of the ponderosa. I am drawn to this illustrious tree and when I wrap my arms around its trunk, I feel one with nature-just me, the ground and sky and my new favorite tree.

Transport Standards
These standards address the format of messages exchanged between computer systems, document architecture, clinical templates, user interface and patient data linkage. Standards center on "push" and "pull" methods for exchanging health information.
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a HL7® standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically. It can be used as a stand-alone data exchange standard or used in partnership with existing widely used standards. FHIR resources are based on current HL7 standards. Some projects working on furthering FHIR's adoption include SMART on FHIR, Argonaut and HAPI.
Additional FHIR Resources:
Direct StandardTM
The Direct StandardTM, current under development as an American National Standard by DirectTrust Standards, defines a set of standards and protocols to allow participants to send authenticated, encrypted health information directly to known, trusted recipients over the Internet. Two primary specifications are the Applicability Statement for Secure Health Transport v1.2 and the XDR and XDM for Direct Messaging.
Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) provides a number of specifications that can be used in the exchange of health information. A full list of IHE Profiles can be found on the IHE Wiki page.
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the standard for the communication and management of medical imaging information and related data. DICOM enables the transfer of medical images in across systems and facilitates the development and expansion of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).
Health Level 7 (HL7) provides a number of standards that serve as the basis for many exchange standards currently used in health IT. HL7 standards serve as the underlying standards for FHIR and IHE

During the last 15 years, wage and hour lawsuits filed in federal court have risen over 450%. According to the Judicial Resource Center, 8,781 Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits were filed in 2015, which is a 7.6 percent increase from 2014. This year has seen new federal labor proposed regulations, the fight for higher minimum wage, an increased scrutiny on independent contractor classification and joint employer status. Experts believe these events, changes and public awareness have contributed to the rising onslaught of wage and hour suits. [1]
2015 FLSA Litigation: On the Rise
FLSA: Employers, the Courts and Private Settlements
No matter how an employer choses to handle an FLSA complaint, it is important to know that the FLSA requires the Department of Labor to supervise all potential violation settlements. This means that employees who receive severance packages or conditioned settlement agreements that purport to release all employment-related claims, may have not effectively released all of their claims under the FLSA.

A Doll's House Essay Essay Sample
What is self-sacrifice? It is to sacrifice everything you care about to go be who you actually are. The protagonist in A Doll's House written by Henrik Ibsen, Nora Helmer, not only sacrifices herself, but also her family. Nora sacrifices the security and comfort of her home, while also giving up her social status. Nora also contemplates giving up her life for her family and friends to be better off. She also gives up her dignity and relationship with Torvald and the children.
Henrik Ibsen wrote A Doll's House to express how a person needs to sacrifice yourself to be the person you want to be. For one to fully sacrifice themselves, a person gives up the comfort and security of their life. A Doll's House, protagonist, Nora Helmer does exactly that, gives up her social status, husband and children to go and learn to live on her own. "…I am a thinking human being…" Nora is saying that she is her own person, and needs to discover who she wants to be, not the person she has been taught to be. "…I must think things over for myself and try to understand them." Nora is also learning that she needs to have her own voice. She cannot do what everyone wants her to do.
As well as giving up the comfort of her home, Nora debates on taking her own life. To her this is the only way her husband, Torvald, will not be upset with her. When Krogstad threatens Nora that he will tell Torvald about the borrowed money and fake signature. Thus, Nora "…had thought of that?" That being her taking her own life, knowing that she has no other option. "Now I have the courage." Nora at this point is saying that she is ready to go and disappear from the Earth. Nothing will scare her anymore, "You don't frighten me." Nothing is going to stop her now, she is going to do whatever she can to make sure everyone is better off. By Nora leaving Torvald, she gives up not only her social status but her dignity. Nora leaves everything behind to go find herself. "…Your duty to your husband and your children!" Torvald believes he owns Nora and can tell her what and when to do something.
Nora rebuts with saying that she has "duties to myself." Nora needs to put herself first, rather than being everyone's doll, and to grow a backbone. While giving up her dignity she is giving up her relationship with Torvald and her children. "I can't spend the night in the house of a stranger." Torvald is not the man she thought he was, therefore now he is a stranger. Nora refuses to even acknowledge that he wants to stay together and live together as brother and sister. Self-sacrifice is not just about the person themselves, but also those around them. A person has to give up those they love, their comfort, as well as dignity. Those who do not give up the privileges of having everything, are not who they really are. A person needs to give up everything to become the person they are underneath the façade.

Cervicogenic Dizziness (Neck based dizziness)
What our patient's say…
"My dizziness used to affect me when I was working for long hours at the computer, I could feel my neck and shoulders stiffening up too, so I went to see Robert Griffiths at Pro Performance Clinics. He told me my posture was causing the issue, he gave me treatment plus acupuncture to release the tension and showed me some special exercises. I went back to work feeling one hundred times better, within 3 weeks my dizziness and shoulder tension had completely disappeared. He even contacted my HR department and got me a new chair, I couldn't be happier with the service I received." Jenny Bolton, Insurance Analyst
Cervicogenic dizziness is a condition we see in lots of women and men over 40. The symptoms are often caused by tight joints and muscles in the neck, shoulders and head. We have successfully treated office workers, pregnant women, women during menopause and athletes with cervicogenic dizziness. Usually, it is long hours at a desk, staring at a computer screen, poor posture and high stress levels that increases these symptoms.
Occasionally, we see it in our athletes who train extremely hard, due to increased tension in their upper back. Often, there will be other factors that contribute to the dizziness, e.g. dehydration, poor diet, lack of exercise and neck instability.
Cervicogenic dizziness can have a similar pattern of symptoms to cervicogenic headaches. Often sufferers experience tight muscles in their shoulders and upper neck. These can refer dizzy sensations to the back and top of the head, around the ear or to the forehead. They tend to experience mild dizziness or light headedness initially, then increasing discomfort as the condition worsens. Cervicogenic dizziness can range from mild to severe and can last from a couple of hours to a few days.
Cervicogenic dizziness can be diagnosed following a full case history and physical exam by your Pro Performance clinician. There will often be very tight and painful trigger points (knots) in the muscles at the back of your head and neck that will reproduce your dizziness when gently pressed. Dizziness can be a symptom in many other conditions, so it is essential that more serious causes of dizziness are ruled out. Your Pro Performance clinician will ask you a series of questions before deciding if you require further investigation by MRI, X-ray or by a neurologist.
Cervicogenic dizziness is caused by tight neck joints and muscles. At Pro Performance, we assess what is causing the tight neck in the first place. This can be poor posture, a bad chair or excessive computer work. These physical factors cause stiffness in your mid-back and tension in your neck. It is these tight neck muscles which can create the feelings of dizziness.
We treat cervicogenic dizziness using a specific combination of manual treatments and spinal strengthening exercises to achieve lasting results. At Pro Performance Clinics, we always treat the cause and the symptoms of your cervicogenic dizziness.
1. We relax your tense neck, shoulder and head muscles using soft tissue massage, medical acupuncture and gentle stretching.
2. We mobilise and/or manipulate your restricted neck joints to relieve tension.
3. We always address the underlying cause of your headaches, e.g. poor workstation setup, weak neck muscles, TMJ (jaw) dysfunction, spinal/pelvic misalignments, faulty walking patterns, a leg length difference, poor diet and high stress.
Your cervicogenic dizziness is very different to everyone else's, so your treatment plan will be uniquely tailored to suit your individual condition.
As part of your treatment plan at Pro Performance Clinics, we explain what causes your cervicogenic dizziness. You will be given lifestyle advice and tailored rehab exercises to reduce the strain on your neck and head muscles. Repeated clicking and stretching of your neck is not advisable, if you feel the need to do this regularly, we will show you the corrective neck exercises to perform instead.

Below are excerpts from the August 7, 2013, press release from the Napa Valley Grape Growers Association as sparsely edited by the Preisers:
The Napa Valley harvest, which is now underway, is forecast to be of average yield but high quality. Medium rainfall levels, a warm Spring, and a heat wave in late June/early July, are producing smaller berries and loose clusters – signals of high quality. Valley-wide, harvest is taking place 10 to 14 days earlier than 2012.
-Though rainfall has been average for the season, minimal rain and a warm Spring forced grape growers to use a variety of viticultural practices to mitigate heat damage, including:
-Early Spring irrigation and, during the heat wave, afternoon watering. The latter was accomplished by micro-sprinkling and pulse watering to allow careful water management;
-Less canopy management (allowing natural shade and dappled sunlight), and the use of shade cloth to protect the grapes in their early growth stages; and
-Early "suckering" (a "sucker" is a clone of the mother plant that grows from a root far from the plant's base) to remove unwanted growth.
-July 2013 was the warmest Napa July since 2003.
-April 2013 was seven degrees warmer than 2012. It was almost as warm as 1997, which produced a fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon vintage.
-The weather helped cause much uniformity throughout the growing season (uniform bloom and uniform harvest), which is key to a good vintage.
Demand for Napa Valley Grapes:
-2012 harvest value was over $650 million.
-2012 average ton was valued at $3,500.
-2012 average ton of Cabernet Sauvignon was valued at $5,000.
-There is a worldwide concern following the discovery of "Red Blotch," a virus that appears to reduce the Brix levels of infected vines. Napa Valley grapegrowers, ever vigilant (our comment) test for the virus before planting to ensure they are planting "clean" vines.
-Current replanting echoes the replanting of the 1980s, forcing a decrease in supply in the short term.
-Demand for Napa Valley grapes, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, remains high. All 2013 grapes have been sold.
-Many vineyards are equipping vineyard managers and supervisors with iPads, which allows:
-Broad sharing of information, once held only by vineyard senior staff and the winemaking team;
-the Pad's camera to send immediate, geo-tagged photos of areas of concern, which then allowing immediate action; and
-Fun pictures, like a major brand delivery truck getting 'stuck' in a vineyard.
-There were minimal shortages this Spring. In fact, labor shortages are being eliminated since grape growing is now a nearly year round enterprise.
-Napa is the only county in California to assess all growers. The money raised has been used to build three farmworker centers, where individuals benefit from lodging, meals, laundry, and recreational amenities.
-The Napa Valley Grapegrowers Farmworker Education Foundation (the only one of its kind in the nation) has educated over 4,000 farmworkers through programs stressing quality in the vineyard, safety, and personal success tools such as financial advice and information on various community services.
Our final comment: Everyone out here is already salivating over the 2012 vintage, and it looks as if we may get a stunner right on its heels.

The trick is figuring out your limitations are. This is something I find to be difficult because I am a very stubborn person… Or maybe driven… Yeah, let's go with driven. I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew, although it always takes me to interesting places. I also learn a lot by doing this.
One of my favorite video games of all time is called Romancing Saga. It's a Japanese RPG from the Super Famicom era. This game could be really frustrating because if you didn't do everything right from the beginning you could dig yourself into a hole you can't get out of. The only option then is to start over from the beginning. This was counter-intuitive to the way most JRPGs work, so a lot of players struggle. But once you understand how to play it, then it becomes a lot of fun. You just have to make it through a few re-starts.
I've always enjoyed things like this, activities that are like puzzles to solve. Surfing is this way. With the addition of Mother Nature, it makes for an infinitely varied experience. It never gets old. Chess is also this way. A puzzle to outwit your opponent. Running a business is yet another complex puzzle, and this aspect makes it fun. I guess since I was little my instinct has always been to puzzle solve.
The greatest type of puzzle I've attempted is the one of storytelling. It is hard! It requires you to fill your head with fiction, and juggle all the fiction balls while you find places to put them. You HAVE to write stuff down! You WILL forget. Guaranteed. It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, only you're painting the pieces as you go. I've forgotten so many great scenes or lines of dialogue because I forget to write them down.
In order to battle this, I remember to take something to write with wherever I go. Sometimes of record voice memos on my iPhone. This works well while driving. I get a lot of ideas while I'm driving. It's the worst possible place for inspiration to hit, and yet it never fails to strike. I just try and hold the thought until I can find a red light, and then quickly turn on my recorder.
Writing things down gives you permission to forget about them. You're going to forget anyway so you might as well do it with a clear conscience. It lets the idea out and you don't have to spend energy trying to hold on to it. And saves you from the guilt of letting it slip away. So you won't have to write blog posts like this one.
Please take a moment to vote for us on Topwebcomics.com! With enough votes, we can reach the front page of the site, which would help us spread the word. We are grateful for everyone's love and support and work hard every day to make a story the surfers of Sendai can be proud of.

What exactly does a Wedding planner do?
Its so exciting to set your wedding date but it also come with the knowledge that you now have to plan the biggest day of your life!
I sat down with Martina O'Riordan, one of Irelands top wedding planners and asked her about her role as a wedding planner and exactly how she can make your wedding day the most memorable of your life.
What does a Wedding Planner do?
Many people ask me all the time what does a Wedding Planner do! It is great to be able to explain the life of a Wedding Planner and what it could mean for the Wedding Day. To put it simply, I meet with a couple to understand what their current vision is, what support they need, what their budget is, and then I get to work to bring that vision to life and make it a reality. Sounds pretty simple but there is a lot of work involved!
Why would a couple want or need a wedding planner?
Couple's come to me when they need assistance with the Wedding Planning because they may not be living close to their venue or are working full time and don't have the time to plan. I have couples that are from up the country getting married on the opposite side, and couples abroad getting married. Couples may want something different and want assistance coming up with ideas and bringing it to life. Or they may not be creative and might need help to bring the wow factor.
Why would a couple need help finding suppliers when there are so many out there and lots of forums they can search on?After a consultation with a couple, I have a good idea as to the type of suppliers that they want and then I start my research. A couple can of course choose any supplier and I see some choose based on price and I really do not recommend this. For example, there are many Wedding Photographers out there but there are many different styles of Wedding Photography. You may get a better deal, but you may not like the finished product, or the structure on the day. Two different styles could be a Traditional Wedding Photographer or a Documentary and Candid style photographer. This is similar to booking your Wedding Band. No two bands are the same and there are so many different types and styles out there that you really have to do your research. To ensure I choose the right
suppliers for my couples, I need to really understand what they both like and what they have in mind. The fun part for me is finding the perfect venue or suppliers, and then I can begin to see the day coming to life. It is like fitting the pieces of a jigsaw together!
What is the most important part of the planning?
I don't know if this is the most important part but it is very important - the budget. I track the budget to ensure that nothing gets out of hand. During our consultation, I give an indication of what the budget might be having a rough idea of what the couple might like, e.g. a 7-piece band will be undoubtedly more expensive than a 3-piece band, a 6 tier cake more expensive than a 3 tier cake, and flower budgets vary depending on what the couple want. Once we have agreed on the budget, then I can start looking for the right suppliers and report back, which I do regularly! I keep track of the deposits paid, the total amount and I prompt when a deposit is due to be paid.
Couples come to you for help with the planning, what else do you assist with?
I also assist with the Styling and Design of the day, that can be part of the Full Planning Package, and it is also a package on its own. More and more couples are doing something different, it could be an old country house, a marquee, or a barn and they need some assistance to bring it to life. I work with them to understand the kind of feeling they want from their day, for example, a simple elegant day is very different to a relaxed party feeling. These two days will not have much in common and you can imagine that the Style & Design Inspiration boards that I send back to these two couples will look very different! The inspiration board will include, the colour palette, the décor elements, and the flowers.
In the background, while the day is coming together I am maintaining spreadsheets and starting to work on the Wedding Timeline.
What is a Wedding Timeline?
For each Wedding that I am Coordinating on the day ('On the Day Coordination' is also a package by itself), I create a Wedding Timeline which is everything that happens from the rehearsal night (or sometimes even earlier for things like destination weddings or marquee weddings) to the day after the wedding. It documents everything that must happen for the day to come to life e.g. what time is hair and makeup commencing, in what order, how long will it take, when and where are the flowers arriving to, a checklist of what is included, what décor is being set up and where, and who is responsible for any little jobs e.g. showing guests to their seats at the ceremony etc. The list of course goes on! At the end of this process, I usually have a 10+ page plan and we go through this together. This is when I see the couple really relax, because they know every single detail has been thought of and will be looked after on the day.
What is your favourite part of Wedding Planning?
There are so many favourite moments for me! I become quite close to each couple on the run up to the Wedding Day so I think I get the most goosebumps during the ceremony when I see their story evolve and see their smiles and love for each other, especially knowing how nervous they may have been about the day. It is also a great feeling to know that I have played a part in making that moment happen. And I also love meeting my couple's dogs! Often not in real life though, I love being in the middle of a Skype call with a dog jumps in to take part in the planning!
Any top tips to assist couples?
There are so many!
Set up an email address for the planning so that all emails are going into the one place that you both have access to, make sure you do your research on the suppliers or venue you are choosing for your special day, maintain the budget correctly and don't forget to ask about VAT, and enjoy it. Try not to get overwhelmed with all the planning and don't forget to include the little details that really bring your personality as a couple to life… like the Wedding Topper! I think the cake and the topper can tell a story about the couple based on what they choose.

Introducing You to Your New Durango Hometown
We live in La Plata County because we love it and our hearts are here. Of course, we love our incredible mountain scenery, but theres so much more: Unlimited outdoor recreations, year-around events, fabulous restaurants, a nationally-renowned college, a vibrant arts and music scene, a caring community and all topped off by blue skies, summer wildflowers and winter's mantel of champagne powder.
Welcoming you to our hometown is our pleasure. We're glad you are here and we're happy to share our community with you.
So, allow us to introduce ourselves...
Roberta Eickman, owner of New-In-Town
I started New-In-Town Welcome Service because I'm proud of our community and I feel blessed to live here . Anytime I meet a new resident I'm excited to share information about the area and the vibrant businesses that participate in the New-In-Town welcome program.
I moved to Durango in 1984 to ski and to raft the rivers of the Southwest and in the process I discovered my home. The scenery and the outdoor activities of the Four Corners area are beyond compare. But much more makes me feel at home; the people, the healthy lifestyle, the great businesses, the wonderful cultural diversity, the heart-warming sense of community.
Through New-In-Town I help new residents connect with their new community; I help businesses connect with new customers; and I meet new people and make new friends. That's what I call a win-win-win!
And in case moving has given you sore muscles, an achy back, a stressed psyche, or you'd just like some healing touch, I'm also a massage therapist with more than 25 years of experience. I guarantee I can ease the pain or help you relax.
Martha McClellan, greeter
Like many people, I left the dreary East Coast for better weather and to live closer to my kids. I am so glad I made that move in 1993. It didn't take long for me to realize that I belong here. I've made lots of close friends in a community full of people who really care about each other.
I also work in early childhood education in Durango, so I know dozens of families and kids who are such a joy to work with and help out.
The people I meet through the New-In-Town Welcome Service are here because they choose to be here. People continue moving to Durango because they value the natural beauty, the environment and community. The variety of new residents adds to the great mix of folks here in southwest Colorado. There are retired people, young 20-somethings, middle-aged couples and young families with kids. They are happy to be here, and I'm happy to welcome them to our special corner of the West.
Terrina Mills, greeter
I moved to Durango in 1989 from Washington state. I raved about it so much that shortly after my mother and brother moved here as well. Now my whole family has made this beautiful area our permanent home. My husband and I have two teenage sons and we revel in all the recreation available here. We are especially fond of camping and fishing. We also appreciate the school district and the outstanding educational experiences the boys have had.
Welcoming newcomers is something that brings me a lot of happiness. I love to meet new people, and for everything a newcomer might learn from me, I learn something from them.
