TSA NOBODY ELSE.Music
One thing I'm good at is sleeping on local(RSA) musicians especially ones that are still on the come up but thank Goodness i did not sleep on TSA even though i was about to, for those of you who don't know "TSA nobody else" allow me to introduce you.
I remember when i first got to know of his twitter account and one thing about me I'm the type of person if you got mad quality VISUALS on your social media account I'll most definitely follow you no matter who you are…so just after viewing his images i clicked follow afterwards his data file Host links appeared on my timeline and i would just scroll through without checking them out until yesterday when i saw the link for ""Throw me off"" i guess i was curious or something when i clicked on it but just after downloading and listening to the song right away i started to research about this dude cause bro? i wasn't expecting a jam like that from a South African artist, the first thing was to Google his tumblr account and the bio reads as follows
"Zolile Mcelu (born June 24, 1992) – better known by his rap alias TSA, is a South African recording artist and songwriter from Johannesburg. TSA has named Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, The Weeknd and Childish Gambino amongst others as his influences.
He has quantified Marshall Bruce Mathers (also known as Eminem) as his favourite rap musical outfit of all time, and influenced not only by his music, but day-to-day animation, in his awkwardly humorous demeanour.
Growing up, Mcelu mattered to playing soccer and aspired to play at a professional level before discovering hip hop. When he was around 11 years old his mother bought him his first hip hop album "The Eminem Show" (in most cases a very unorthodox gift for a juvenile minor, considering the explicit lyrical content) . After obtaining a copy of the album Mcelu became absorbed in music, recording and mixing his own songs in his make-shift studio within the comfort of his bedroom."
i also found info about the photographer/creative director behind TSA but I'm not entirely sure about the creative director thing all i know is his part of
nobodyelse.co.za .
twitter @bambathaJones
soundcloud bambatha jones
there's this one jam titled "Hunger Pains" this is the jam that really made me believe that TSA can deliver.
So now I'm guessing you now know who TSA is and what his about all that's left is for you to support the kid and I'm no prophet or anything in that sense but i believe his NEXT not only in RSA but worldwide…to the musicians that are still reigning at the moment y'all should better watch out!

Playing online might just be the ticket you need to earn some big money. As you can derive from the word progressive, it is obvious that the value of the jackpot increases with each game that gets played. Every game of slots that gets played, contributes a small percentage towards the jackpot that can be won.
You should however know that you are contributing chipping in towards the jackpot without a real chance of winning if you play with an amount less than the maximum coins required. Therefore you should never play without the maximum credits in order to qualify for the jackpot.
Many gamblers that play are not convinced that they should play for the jackpot game in the online games. All your chances are there, they are very slim. It is better to play safe rather than to end up winning nothing. Rather put a small percentage of your winnings towards the jackpot.
There are many online progressive slot games available to play in the online casinos. You can choose between versions such as 'linked progressive' slots, 'individual progressive' slots and 'multi-location progressive' slots.
Another interesting fact about is that usually the jackpot is won in the first few minutes of play. The reason for this is that the majority of players move onto other machines or games when they are not winning. And if they get to the next machine and not win the jackpot, they move on again.
Most people do not know how much money to bet towards the progressive jackpot when playing online slots. And in most cases it relies a lot on your gambling temperament and budget. If you decide to invest about 20% of your gambling budget into this, you should be safe.
It is very important to know when to quit a game if you are playing . By doing this you do not have to depend on luck entirely. Also do your research well in choosing an online casino that you use to play . You should also keep your composure – no matter if you are winning or loosing.

Although the two are not directly related, Autodesk, a world leading CAD software developer and publisher, is banking on the huge demand for 3D design in India's booming infrastructure to boost its revenues in the country over the upcoming year. As The Times of India reports, part of those revenues will be invested in building the Spark platform, which the company believes will drive revenues in the future, in a way similar as Android did for Google.
During an event that took place in Las Vegas, presumably the Autodesk University (AU) meeting which took place last December 2nd to the 4th, Autodesk's CEO Carl Bass said that his company's software is capable of designing at a city scale and is a perfect fit for the Indian Government's intensive infrastructural projects.
For boosting revenues in the present and near future, Autodesk is levering the use of its flagship AutoCAD software to use in construction, civil engineering and infrastructure companies to build and simulate the actual performance of an architectural structure. Currently China, India, and Brazil are the nations investing the most in construction and Autodesk's revenues in emerging economies have risen by 13% in the third fiscal quarter, boosted by those three members of the "BRIC" group of nations.
If 3D design and simulation is the present of Autodesk's business, the company is looking forward to the next wave of innovation and has given many signs that its future is very much focused on 3D printing. It has received over 400 applications for its global $100 million Spark Investment Fund, created to help finance the startups that will populate its Spark 3D printing software platform.
Autodesk has very high expectations for Spark, which, according to Carl Bass's intentions, is to follow in the footsteps of what Android did for Google. The platform will be free and open, helping hardware manufacturers, software developers, materials scientists and product designers come together and benefit from 3D printing technologies. The platform that will unite all aspects of the creative cycle is a major necessity to fuel the growth of 3D printing and not many companies are better fitted than Autodesk to develop it.

Murata - The Eyewear legend closes its doors
Eyewear making is an old craft that has been passed down generations. While we utilize variations of modern technology in our manufacturing process, we at Lowercase try to learn and are continually be inspired by makers and expertise that came before us. When we recently learned that one of the world's oldest frame makers from Japan had closed, we took it as a bitter/sweet reminder of our commitment to this long-established craft and to our position within it.
Kehinde Wiley
We just wrapped up our summer showroom at the Wythe Hotel. Over the course of our time there, we were inspired by the refined ambiance and creative energy of the space. A prominent feature of the pop-up was our floral backdrop for everyone to try on frames and take photos against. We heard over and over how it resembled Kehinde Wiley's portraits, which we happen to be big fan's of. If you're not familiar with his work, we suggest you read this article and check it out!
In The Studio : Nick Girlando
New York native Nick Girlando has a lot going on. Fashion, photography, business....you name it, Nick's in it. We were able to catch him just long enough to pick his brain on his agency Outset Collective, his passion for photography and his plans for the future.
David Bowie Is
We're thrilled that our frames are now on the shelves of the store of Brooklyn Museum, a spot we often find ourselves in search for new ideas and inspiration. Currently, the museum is showing the historic "David Bowie Is" exhibition. If you're in Brooklyn, we highly recommend checking this out before it's gone.
In the Studio : Cory Vanderploeg
Friend of Lowercase and multi-talented photographer Cory Vanderploeg had a chat with us about some of his work, the importance of natural light and where to find a leopard print pool table in New York.
Behind the Scenes : Lowercase Workshop
In Conversation : Stevy Wang
Every once and a while we come across a body of work that gets us really excited. Such was the case when we were introduced to art director and storyteller Stevy Wang. Lowercase's Aiko Austin got to pick her brain a bit, enjoy...
Brooklyn Phono
Take a look inside Brooklyn Phono - one of the last standing record press plants in Brooklyn, who use recycled vinyl to make their records.
Solid Light Works : Anthony McCall
A pioneer in light art and installation, Anthony McCall's work exists in the space where cinema, sculpture and drawing overlap. More than three decades since the screening of his 'solid light' films, New York is excited to stage a new experience that for the first time brings together his vertical light installations and their horizontal variants under one roof.
Shape + Color
Ever wonder how we go about designing a new collection? An important part of the process is developing a color palette, and matching acetates to their shapes. Our Spring/Summer collection will be launching soon, so we wanted to give you a sneak peak into the process.

In the Shop : Lenses
Ever wonder what goes into selecting and cutting lenses for your sunglasses? Get an inside look at the Carl Zeiss lenses we use on every pair of Lowercase sun frames.
Rebel Rebel : The inspiration behind the design
Our classic Rebel Rebel takes its name from the iconic NYC record store, now sadly lost forever. As higher rents push small brick-and-mortars out of the West Village, Rebel Rebel Records too had to shut its doors after serving its fans for 28 years. Their legacy will live on however with the unexpected comeback of vintage vinyls, as consumers are coming to appreciate the value of quality.
The Marlton Hotel
The Marlton Hotel plays a strong role in Lowercase's story, but the history of the hotel starts long before the formation of Lowercase, and was the home of many famous artists and authors, and has been a cornerstone of the Village history for over 100 years.
History Lesson : The R.P.G.
With the release of our collaboration with Knickerbocker Mfg. on the R.P.G. frame, we wanted to tell the story of the iconic frame that the design is based upon. The frames have gone through numerous iterations and redesigns over the years and are often referred to as RPG's (Regulation Prescription Glasses) and BCG's (Birth Control Glasses) for their unflattering appearce. However, we happen to think some of them were pretty awesome...

'I cannot walk past a Carpetright without hearing his voice...'
Anthony Jeselnik: Will drop your baby
I had seen Anthony Jeselnik superbly roasting Donald Trump on Comedy Central and immediately recognised he was a very funny guy, but I had never seen his stand-up routine until last month.
His comedy special was on Netflix and wrapped up in a blanket surrounded by cough meds, I decided to give it a watch. Two jokes in, I was chocking, spluttering and gasping for air. The discovery of this new legendary comic, combined with my cold, almost resulted in death, and it would have been completely worth it.
Jeselnik's red-raw fearlessness to go dark; with a stage persona that thrives on steering you in a bogus direction before slamming down an unpredictable golden punchline, is why he is now one of my new fave comics of all time.
League Of Gentlemen: Orange juice commercial
In my opinion, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith are up there with the kings of black comedy, and their attention to detail of characters is phenomenal. A classic example of this was in their hysterical sketch about a commercial casting.
In it, self-assured Jedd Hunter auditions actress Pamela Doove for the orange juice commercial he's directing. Pamela's repetition of the lines; and her ability to get weirder and more inaudible with each take is utter genius and Jedd pronunciation of the word 'cool' makes me cringe in the best way possible.
Jiminy Glick interviews Jerry Seinfeld
I first fell in love with Martin Short when he played 'Franck' in Father Of The Bride. A fast speaking German wedding planner who spoke with such a bizarre accent one could understand a word he said, and it was comedy gold.
More recently I discovered Jiminy Glick, Martin's take on a passive-aggressive TV host whose sheer bitterness about not having made it himself as a performer causes him to treat his star guests as... well... pieces of shit. His voice quality ranging simultaneously from a high-pitched squeak to freakishly low and intense groan is some of the funniest characterisation work I have ever seen.
This particular episode with Jerry Seinfeld had me cry-laughing within the first minute.
Barry from Watford
My mate wanted to cheer me up one evening and sent me a random clip of Barry From Watford, a character created by the wonderful Alex Lowe.
I had heard of this character but never seen him for myself. Well, I watched this sketch probably 67 times in a row, sent it to everyone I knew would like it, and then watched it myself another 10 times.
The teeth placement gets me every single time and yes; I cannot walk past a Carpetright without hearing dear Barry's voice in my head. Thank you, Barry.
Anjelah Johnson: Nail Salon
Anyone who's had their nails done in New York before: this one's for you. The subtle passive aggressive/judgemental comments from the adorable but pretty blunt Korean nail technicians; it's all part of the package. We love it, and my first personal experience of it was in 2008 when my technician Tammy commented on my 'extremely little nails' (she did not mean it in a good way, trust me).
But if you haven't been lucky enough to experience it yet for yourself, this detailed and wonderfully animated sketch by fabulous Californian actor and comedian Anjelah Johnson sums it up just perfectly.
Waiting for Guffman: Chinese restaurant
Most people have heard of Spinal Tap but not nearly enough have heard of Waiting For Guffman, another legendary mockumentary film by comedy genius Christopher Guest.
The stellar cast includes a few of my comedy heroes: Eugene Levy, Fred Willard and Catherine O'Hara and contains some of the finest mockumentary-style comedy of all time, with characters that are so beautifully cringeful that it's heart-wrenching at times.
It's just amazing, and to be honest, it stresses me out to try and choose just one favourite moment from this film... but if I have to, it would be the Chinese dinner scene featuring Catherine O'Hara, who does some of the best drunk-acting I've ever seen.

Nomes began cosplaying in 2010 with no prior skills in sewing or crafting. Almost ten years and 50+ costumes later she knows just enough to know how much there still is to learn. She has represented the United Kingdom (UK) in cosplay competitions on multiple occasions including the European Cosplay Gathering (ECG) finals in 2012 (solo category) and 2015 (group category). More recently Nomes represented the UK at the World Cosplay Summit 2018 in Nagoya, Japan with Chris Minney – Cosplay & Fitness.
Whilst Nomes likes to dabble in all areas of costume creation and performance, it's safe to say she specialises in hairy armour a.k.a. wig styling; she finished fourth in the prestigious international Arda Iron wig contest in 2015.

You are probably in your 20s or 30s while reading this and you never have the thought of saving or planning for that time when you'll be retired and can no longer be actively earning a salary. There is no better time to start planning for retirement than now. And when you start planing your retirement don't forget to start looking into assisted and senior living facilities and homes seen here.
Retirement doesn't necessarily signify old age; rather it is a period when you can stop actively working and earning a salary and still have enough monthly income to live by.
Who says you can retire by 40 or 50 and pursue your other life' interests without worrying about money. Your time of retirement is a personal decision; you decide when you want to retire. You also have to decide how much you want to retire with. You can almost not retire and still live comfortably if you don't start planning and saving now. Here are tips from financial management experts on how to save reasonably towards your retirement. When you retire you will also want to start thinking about an assisted living community and how you will pay for it. Here is a link for designing communities with a assisted living focus, there are many great communities to choose from.
1. Know What You Exactly Need
According to some financial experts if you are surviving well on a certain income now that you are still actively working then you will likely need at least 70% of your pre-retirement income to survive monthly as a retiree. In other words when you retire you will be able to live on 70% of the income you earn while actively working.
Retirement isn't cheap as you will probably have the same basic needs of feeding, shelter, entertainment, health etc. The standard advice is to aim to save 3 times of your current salary by the time you are 45.
2. Get a Fixed Savings Account
The essence of having a seperate savings account is to ensure that you discipline yourself enough to move some of your monthly income into an account that you cannot easily withdraw from. Have, if possible, your bank automatically pay a certain percentage of your salary into that account every month. From this savings/investment account you can then only move funds to either your retirement fund or to reasonable safe investment vehicles.
3. Start Small and Increase Gradually
This calls for having a budget of what your monthly spend is like. Then plan to start setting aside small amounts that you can easily save and grow the amount you save each month from there. Whenever your income increases the amount you save should increase proportionately as well.
4. Invest Smartly
To actually get a sizeable heap of funds for your retirement you will need a little diversified investment approach. Get active in learning about investing in stocks, bonds and hedge funds. Get a stockbroker who understands the market and can give expert advice on where to invest. Become an active investor instead of a passive one that just hands over funds to an investment manager.

Bachelor Eerie: Recap of Hometowns
Taxidermist Kendall's LA Hometown
Taxidermist has somehow managed to make it to Hometowns without having a One-on-One. So she's literally introducing him to her family without being alone with him on a date! Great! Where will she take Eerie for her daytime-hometown in the cultural mecca of Los Angeles? A place of taxidermy. POST-WEINSTEIN, we're still portraying women on this show as one-dimensional and we have to re-hit the same joke over and over. She's the quirky one. Taxidermist explains that they're going to taxidermy rats.
Kendall tells Eerie she got into this because she'd find dead animals on hikes and want to preserve them. Normal hike stuff. They then make their rat corpses make out.
Eerie meets Kendall's family...
Kendall has an IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER NAMED KYLIE?!?!?!?!? I never stop reacting to this. She also has a brother named Colton who is kind of hot.
Taxidermist told Eerie that Kylie is super into reading energies and she's right. Kylie: "My fear for Kendall is that she'd lie to herself and jump into a relationship without actually having the base to really feel out everything." Kendall reassures her by telling her that her reaction to Eerie saying he was falling for her was to shut him up with a kiss. The fact that she can tell Eerie is a drip makes me love her and want her to be next Bachelorette.
Taxidermist's Dad asks Eerie if this is "something that's real?" then says BACHELOR IT'S 2018 and blessings are up to Kendall. But only the first part. Taxidermist follows Kylie's advice to lay it all on the table and tells Eerie she's falling for him.
Tattler Tia's Weiner, Arkansas Hometown
The titles person was so distracted by the name of Tia's hometown that they put Alaska's initials instead of Arkansas.
Tattler Tia takes Eerie racing cars in order to keep him so much in his comfort zone he'll forget that she doesn't resemble his mother physically as much as the other women. At least the hitting the one-note car-racing over and over extends to Eerie as well as the women.
Eerie meets Tattler Tia's parents...
Tia's Dad keeps calling Eerie "Airy" which makes me think he reads these recaps. SHOUTOUT TO TIA'S DAD! They do a little wiener toast.
Tattler Tia's brother pulls Eerie and asks him if all the internet rumors are true that Eerie is a huge player and a "Kissing Bandit". Eerie tells him he's done with all the loose fucking, that's not who he is now, and that he's ready to find a wife.
Eerie describes what he likes about Tia to her Dad as a "strong Southern woman who puts me in my place." It's like an alien put itself in a taxidermied 40-year-old skin suit and tries to say a sentence like someone with emotions about people would say.
Tia's Dad is also active on the same internet forums as his son and asks Eerie if he's a "playboy." Eerie points out that he might not realize that dating 25 women at once is "stressful." As EVERY SINGLE HOMETOWN, they advertise the Dad being tough but Tia's Dad quickly gives the blessing. Tia's Dad jokes: "If you hurt her, I can find you on Google." They have no chemistry but Tattler Tia tells Eerie that she's in love with him again, just as she did on their first date.
Becca K's Minneapolis Hometown
Becca takes Eerie to apple-pick where she and her friends annually take Instagram pictures to show they live in a place with fall. I still think she wins. LB has baggage. Tia Tattled. Kendall hates him.
Eerie meets Becca's family...
Becca tells Eerie that her Pastor Uncle Gary has been her second father after her Dad passed away when she was 19. Pastor Uncle Gary asks if Eerie will support Becca's religiousness. Eerie says yes and Pastor Uncle Gary is satisfied.
Becca tries to convince Mama K that this is real.
Eerie feeds Mama K some bullshit stock line of his parents "choosing each other every day" and she warms to him. He asks for the blessing and she's again like, if Becca deems you worthy, fine. THIS IS YOUR THIRD ONE EERIE. DON'T YOU AND THIS SHOW GET THAT BLESSINGS ARE A REMNANT OF A PAST WHEN FATHERS WOULD TRADE THEIR DAUGHTERS FOR SHIT LIKE GOATS AND ORE??!?! Eerie: "I LOVE THAT!" FUCKKKKKK UUUUUU!!!!!!!! Then he tells Becca he got her blessing even though he really didn't...
LB's Virginia Hometown
Goddamnit why do we have to do this. Someone wanted to marry her? Ugh. Eerie rides horses through the water with LB. They have Pillow Time at the top of a lighthouse. Before they meet Eerie, LB's family discuss the situation and wonder if "Arie realizes how conservative our family is." EVEN BETTER.
Eerie meets LB's family...
They sit LB and Eerie very far from the family and Eerie describes it as "tense... on a scale of 1 to having a complete meltdown, I'm at about an 8." They make him tell LB she's beautiful in Dutch but no one reacts.
LB's Dad: "Have you ever known anybody in a military family before?" Eerie: "No!" LB's Dad: "Do you play golf?" Eerie: "No." Eerie steps out from the dinner POURING SWEAT. Jesus Christ is he going to pick her?
Eerie wins him back with a story of him and his racecar friends going to Iraq to hang out with soldiers. LB's Mom is also won over, "I trust Lauren."
LB tries to assuage her Mom's reservations by telling her that they can read each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.
She tells her that Eerie said he was falling in love with her and that he never would have said that if he said it "to other people." LB's Mom: "I hope it's real." How can it POSSIBLY be real?
Rose Ceremony
Eerie flies back to LA and faces his Top Four. He immediately crumbles and leaves the room. When he finally gets his shit together, he pulls Kendall. Tattler Tia thinks the three remaining make the most sense for a Top Three.
Eerie basically tells Taxidermist that he's going to pick someone else he doesn't like as much unless she says she'll get engaged: "If you stay, someone else goes who's very ready to get married." Taxidermist Kendall doesn't give in but also says she doesn't want to break up. This is enough for Eerie to feel satisfied with keeping her for Fantasy Suites.
ROSES for Becca, LB, and TAXIDERMIST! Tattler Tia is heartbroken and asks Eerie what she did wrong and why she's not good enough and now I'm heartbroken. HE FUCKING SUCKS GIRL!!!! Eerie tells her "there's just something missing... not about your worth." It's not about your worth. You just don't look like my Mom like, AT ALL.

Admissions Enquiries: +65 6808 7300
General Enquiries: +65 6808 7321
We are an international family with roots in Japan and Israel with two wonderful children, Maya (Grade 5) and Akira (Grade 2). They have been studying at GEMS World Academy (Singapore) for the past two years.
Moving abroad and joining an international school was a big change for our children. On the first day of school they were nervous and anxious, but at the same time they were very excited to enter a whole new environment and have a great opportunity to explore the world and meet students from different countries. This warm and friendly feeling is everywhere in GEMS (Singapore) and that's how we expected the school to be - a place, where my children can feel at home and will always be welcomed.
Maya and Akira were born and raised in Tokyo and their first language is Japanese. They also had a slight understanding of English and Hebrew prior to moving to Singapore. When school started, Maya and Akira experienced some language barriers. Maya had some difficulties adapting to the changes and faced a few challenges while learning vocabulary and trying to master academic English. We were not alone in this and the school was very supportive and encouraging at all times. Our class teacher and EAL teacher are always there to provide necessary support to Maya and Akira and improve their writing and speaking English skills and always there for us with great advice on how to support our children with learning at home.
All non-native English speaking students join the mainstream class and attend a "pull-out" EAL class four times a week as part of Language Acquisition Programme. I believe this was the best way for Maya and Akira to get used to the school and make friendships with new classmates.
I am very proud that Akira has finished his EAL studies and already started learning Mandarin. Believe it or not, he speaks three languages now and Mandarin will be the fourth. On top of this he has been attending an after school Japanese Mother Tongue class once a week and it has been a great opportunity for the children to improve their native language, learn about Japanese culture and celebrate national events.
"GEMS (Singapore) is a great place for anyone joining an international school for the first time in Singapore. If you are an international family like us, then GEMS (Singapore) is an ideal environment for your child - a truly international school with a great diversity of students and teachers within the school community. For the teachers, "Children are always first"; this is a very powerful and beautiful value that appeals to all GEMS Parents."
"An engaging, warm and fun learning environment that offers different opportunities and develops real-life skills in the classroom and beyond"
We have four children enrolled: one in high school, one in middle school, one in primary and our youngest one has started at the Little GEMS Nursery in January 2019.
We wanted an academically strong school that was able to cater to the varied needs of our children. Had passionate educators and at the same time focused on developing a well-rounded student. We were impressed by the staff and facilities from the first visit to the school. Our children settled in surprisingly fast and enjoy the school very much.
GEMS (Singapore) is a truly international school with diverse student and teacher population, excellent facilities and a wide range of extracurricular activities available after school. The staff and students are warm, friendly and kind.
It is an engaging, warm and fun learning environment that offers different opportunities and develops real-life skills in the classroom and beyond. The school also organises educational workshops to assist parents in understanding and supporting their children further as well as social events where you can have fun and meet new friends.
With so many good schools in Singapore to choose from, it's important that you feel confident in trusting the quality of education on offer. For our family, we wanted a truly international school that was able to deliver programs and opportunities unavailable in the country we were living in previously.
Lotus Mackie with kids Hugo (Grade 9), Benjamin (Grade 8), Chloe (Grade 4) & Luke (Nursery)
We absolutely love GEMS (Singapore) for its creative approach to every little thing. We are happy to see inspiring teachers and smiling students every day. We have chosen GEMS (Singapore) for our son because the school gives plenty of opportunities to be creative and true freedom of expression. As parents, we appreciate play-based learning and Danil is happy to go to school every day!
Anna & Dmitrii with sons Daniil & Yaroslav
We've lived in Singapore since June 2016 and all three of our children are attending GEMS (Singapore). The school is a tremendous asset to the community and is always supportive of our family and our children's goals and aspirations. This is our family's first experience with the IB curriculum, and we're pleased with the delivery of the programme and the smoothness with which our children transitioned.
It's an honour and pleasure to be part of this school community. Moving to another country and changing schools is always challenging and families must be ready for the unexpected. The campus, faculty and facilities are amazing, and we're grateful we joined an environment of respect, transparency and engagement.
The teachers continually impress upon the students to engage and appreciate diversity and community. The student body is rich with culture and the school provides well-rounded lessons and assignments that encourage the children to think independently. We're especially pleased with the at-home assignments, which are relevant and in line with the children's exploration topic for the quarter. The students are given the opportunity to personally choose the projects they complete; this increases the desire to research and complete the task because of the ownership instilled.
Erica & Trevor with children Gavin, Grant and Tegan
My daughters Amarina & Aria loved the school from day one. Both were immediately integrated into their new classes even though we joined mid-year. The school's 'buddy' system ensures newcomers like my children are looked after by their peers. I have no idea if it's something that exists at other schools, but it worked brilliantly for us. My daughters love their teachers, they love most of their classes, and they have made some really good friends.
The school offers The IB PYP (Primary Years Programme) which is known for its 'inquiry-driven' learning. Compared to the traditional learning method where students are 'fed' with information to 'memorise' and are expected to give the 'right' answers, it is quite different. Students are encouraged to reflect, search, inquire, and be creative. They are not scrutinised for giving 'wrong' answers, as any reflective answer would open doors to developing the thought process.
Visit the school to check out the culture and environment for yourself. If you are unable to do it in person, try to find a way to speak to the parents of current students or alumni. Alternatively, you can call the school for a chat with someone working there as it helps to learn how the school is run. You can get a rough idea of what to expect from your experience with the school, from how your requests are being handled.
Serine with daughters Amarina & Aria
Emma and Alan Mathew, Australian and Indian; Lushington (5), Lakerson (3) and Lexton (1)
Lushington has been attending GEMS (Singapore) for two years, and Lakerson for about six months. We discovered the school online following fairly arduous research; we then arranged a visit and it sealed the deal for us. We've had the warmest, most encouraging and positive experience there. The school places community as a very high priority – you'll have many opportunities to forge friendships with existing and new families. It's very warm and welcoming.
Being a mixed race family, we wanted our children to be enrolled in a multicultural school that was engaging and creative while also offering academic prowess. The classroom and specialist teachers have actively and lovingly invested in our children. They've gone out of their way to connect, support and encourage both Lushington and Lakerson on a personal level. As parents, we are extremely grateful for these impactful touches. The school has a strong emphasis on daily Mandarin and speciality swimming, library and music programmes, creating a well-balanced educational experience. We are looking forward to seeing our children grow, discover, investigate and create alongside their peers and teachers. Our children love going to school every day and are disappointed when the weekend comes around!
As GEMS (Singapore) is a full-scale international school, the preschoolers interact with the older children. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to communicate with these bigger kids – it'll make the transition to Primary School less daunting!
Grade 2 Student
I made a lot of friends at school and they come from different parts of the world! I love playing soccer with them during break time on our big school field. I enjoy using the iPAD while learning Mandarin, recording our work, uploading it to SEESAW and sharing it with my parents. This is fun! All the teachers are nice, I like them so much!
Grade 10 (Scholarship Student and Athlete)
I joined GEMS World Academy (Singapore) in 2015 as a 7th grader.
The school's holistic approach to learning and emphasis on sports, academics and the arts has allowed me to pursue each individual area that I aspire to excel in. Being an elite swimmer who has been representing my country for competitions, a pianist, and a student who strives for high-achieving academic results, I truly grow and fit in with the school.
"With my demanding weekly 25-hour swim schedule, my teachers have always been understanding and support me in managing between studies and my commitment to swimming."
During the times where I need to travel overseas for competitions, they accommodate schoolwork deadlines accordingly, keep me updated on class activity, and willingly provide me with extra learning support when I return to school.
In addition, I certainly feel comfortable in the friendly and united school community of GEMS (Singapore). The small population of the school has enabled me to establish positive relationships with many of my fellow schoolmates and teachers. It is a culturally diverse school, and I always enjoy attending school among my schoolmates who come from all around the globe.
I believe that GEMS (Singapore)'s approach to empowering students to develop their individual potential will continue to benefit me in fulfilling my student-athlete ambitions.
Grade 10 Student - Artist
How long have you attended the school and what year are you in currently?
I have attended GEMS World Academy in Singapore, since it's opening in August 2014. I am a Grade 10 student. Choosing GEMS (Singapore) has been one of the best decisions because of the amazing opportunities and the incredible support I have had through the years.
What are some of the things you like best about the school?
"What I value the most at school are the teachers, who are always available to guide and challenge me both academically and in the field of Performance Arts. At GEMS I have been deeply influenced by the people I've met and enjoyed learning about new cultures. GEMS has taught me to push boundaries, take risks, innovate and create. Most importantly, I have learnt the importance of collaboration and teamwork."
What's your favorite subject and why?
While every subject is taught in an engaging and holistic manner, the one subject that stands out for me, is Drama. The way it is taught and the range of performance techniques we explore in each lesson, makes it extremely impactful and inspiring.
What has been the major highlight of your time at the school?
One of the highlights for me this year has been the Concert for Kerala Flood Relief Fundraiser. It was so heartwarming to see students and teachers from diverse backgrounds, come together to support a common cause.
What do you want to do when you graduate?
I will graduate from the school in 2021 and hope to study Theatre Arts and Applied Drama in university.
Grade 10 - Scholarship Student and Musician
There are many things that I like about GEMS (Singapore). The facilities are great, my favorites are the auditorium and the music room. As a musician, it's very necessary for me to practice as much as possible. I spend my time arranging music sessions with my schoolmates or by myself before school, at break and during lunch. The music room is filled with a wide range of instruments as well as music charts, which is amazing when having jam sessions with the school band.
These facilities help me achieve my goals and encourage myself to be out of my comfort zone by performing in the Auditorium. "When I joined the school, I found it very difficult to perform in front of a large audience. As I become more comfortable with the school community, many teachers have given me numerous opportunities to further expand my musicianship. Additionally, I've joined different extra curricular activities (ECAs) that made me improve in this area, such as GEMS Voices and the Jazz band."
I've contributed to many events in the school and a few of the major highlights were the Open Mic, my solo piano performance during the Awards Ceremony and my personal artwork exhibition during Arts Week. These achievements wouldn't be possible without the support of the amazing teachers in the Arts department. They have given me the time and effort to help me improve as an Artist and Musician. I look forward to contribute more in future events that the school have arranged.
Grade 6 - (Scholarship Student)
Learning at GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is one of the best experiences I had so far in my education. I really enjoy coming to school every day. The school offers various extracurricular activities, which helped me gain confidence and improve my skills. I have been able to participate in The Technopreneurs Challenge with my friends, where I learnt important lesson about entrepreneurship, teamwork and how to research effectively.
For the past two years, I have been granted a scholarship at GEMS (Singapore). Thanks to the "Stretch" program, which involved meetings with a mentor teacher, I was able to deepen my knowledge about the topics I am really interested in, Science in particular. Math and Science are my favourite subjects as they require a lot of thinking.
Our teachers are very kind and extremely supportive. Their attitude towards students helps develop a love for learning and inquiring into different topics. Not to mention "the amazing facilities that we have at school allows as to learn through personal experiences and develop life skills we may need to apply in the future. Our new Design Center is just out of this world; we can go wild with creativity there. We can use music rooms to practice with our School Rock Band and also get to perform on stage in the Auditorium. "
The student community at GEMS is caring, providing encouragement to each other and bringing a fantastic atmosphere every day. Because GEMS is an international school we get to work with different types of people who come from various backgrounds. This allowed me to learn a lot about my friends' culture and traditions, which made me more internationally minded.
KG2 Student
Where are you from Luke?
I am from the USA, but I moved to Singapore when I was 1 year old.
When did you start attending GEMS (Singapore)?
I started last year in Kindergarten KG1.
What do you like most about the school?
I like my teacher.
What do you like about your teacher, Ms. Mostert?
She is good at teaching, she speaks clearly and she is kind and funny. She thinks that I am funny too. She is a fair teacher.
What is your favorite subject?
I love swimming classes.
I love swimming and learning new strokes.
What swim strokes can you do?
I can already do breaststroke and freestyle.
What is your favorite space at school?
Cafeteria, I love to eat my sushi there and I also like our Playground where I can play football with my friends during the recess time.
Why do you have two IB (International Baccalaureate) Learner Profile stickers on your T-shirt?
Ms. Mostert gave them to me during our circle time today in the morning. The first sticker is "IB Inquirer - I was an Inquirer today ask me why?"
Because I ask grown up questions. The second sticker says "IB Communicator: I was open minded today ask me why?"
Why did you get this sticker?
I got both stickers, because first I asked the grown up question and after I listened to the answer carefully and thought about the response.
Was the response what you wanted to hear?
Not really, but I had to accept the answer and that's why I got the second sticker.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?
I don't know yet. I am still thinking, but I know I have to be a Risk-taker."
Grade 11 - Scholarship Student and Athlete
Being a student at GEMS World Academy (Singapore) means being part of a community, one that supports you and helps set the foundation in the road to success. Whether it's in academics, sports or the arts every student plays their role in creating a positive school environment.
As a sports driven student, with access to world class facilities, GEMS provide me with multiple opportunities to grow, learn and develop the skills to pursue my goals as a professional athlete. Whilst I launch into sporting activities both for the school and for club teams I understand that keeping a balance is also important. With the constant support from the staff and peers I am able to train hard, work hard and be the best well rounded student-athlete I can possibly be.
I also strongly believe that culture and originality is a key aspect in school life. In a largely diverse country such as Singapore, we must be able to freely display our own uniqueness and backgrounds, which at GEMS, each and every student is encouraged to do. In various celebrations and talent shows we're all given multiple opportunities to showcase what we're passionate about, in a comfortable and supportive environment.
In classrooms, on the field or even in the Auditorium GEMS students are being supported, acknowledged and encouraged to pursue excellence in what we love.
Grade 5 Student
GEMS (Singapore) gives me the opportunity to learn more about different cultures from around the world and experience it through many amazing events that are organized here on campus. I have learned a lot from this events; Cultural day was just an amazing showcase of our diverse community.
"Here at GEMS (Singapore), we learn "real-life skills" and not just studying what is written in the textbooks. For example, during my home learning I did a lot of research on topics that I can relate to in my real-life. Also, during the swimming classes, we've learnt not only how to swim fast and in the right form, but we've also learnt survival skills in the water."
I have realized that the teachers are supporting students in a lot of ways; we always have great communication and it makes me feel like at home.
Alumni of Class 2018
The IB Diploma Programme was an extremely challenging experience that I was privileged to undergo at GEMS World Academy (Singapore).
"The variety of subjects offered at GEMS (Singapore) allowed me to focus on particular areas of interest and passion such as Psychology, Biology and Literature - all of which I continue to pursue at university."
The university application process can be stressful and overwhelming, to say the least, but the endless support and advice provided by the Academic Advisor Mr Jonathan Cox enabled all of the graduates to tackle and accomplish the requirements needed to get into our desired universities.
With great certainty, I can say that the skills I've learnt and practised while studying at GEMS (Singapore) such as perseverance, discipline and independence have been crucial towards embarking on this new challenging journey.
Grade 10 - House Leader and Athlete
GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is an amazing school that presents many opportunities for its students. As a student athlete and house captain of the red tigers, I have been exposed to many things that have helped shape me into the person I am. I love the school because it accommodates everyone: you will meet new peers, friendly teachers, and enjoy the learning experience.
As an athlete in the GEMS Performance Athletes Program and Rugby 7's Academy, the school provides top class facilities to train hard and get better. This school also provides great coaching to get athletes ready for their future, whether it is to go profesional or to help them learn important values and life skills.
Apart from sports, academics is very important. The classroom environment is great here because of the drive from the teachers as well as other students. The learning experience is very flexible and tailors to each individual student. With the countless number of athletes at the school, it's hard to fit in academics which is why I love how the school has a flexible learning environment. I also love the classrooms because they give space to help students innovate and collaborate together, especially in the new Design Center.
"I have gotten many opportunities to learn, experience, and grow through GEMS World Academy Singapore. I have seen the New Zealand All Blacks practice on our field as well as the Samoa 7's team. I have met olympians and world class athletes to help me learn more about myself and what it takes to be an athlete."
As a new school with a developing rugby team, we were able to place 4th as a guest team in the SEASAC rugby tournament against older, experienced players. I have also participated in World Scholars Cup where my team and I competed against hundreds of schools across the whole world. We placed 150 overall, met new people and did many exciting things.
GEMS (Singapore) has helped me become more open minded about different nationalities and cultures. The school allows this through many events such as culture week, assemblies, and most importantly the students. There are students from all over the world, including myself. I love the diversity in the school and how it allows its students to connect. I am very happy to be at GEMS World Academy in Singapore and look forward to the many years of experiences and opportunities ahead.
Grade 9.3
Hey everyone! I am Annika Nair, a student who joined GEMS World Academy (Singapore) 18 months back from Dubai.
This school has made a major impact on my personality. In the past I was more of a reserved girl occasionally lacking in self-confidence. However, after spending time here at GEMS, I was able to come out of my shell and be the person I always wanted to be!
One thing that I personally like about this school is that there are always various opportunities provided to all students. For example, If you are shy/geeky, the technology suite might be the right place for you. If you enjoy being in the spotlight, we have drama, music and all kinds of clubs to join. And in case you are an athlete, consider yourself lucky as you can explore several sports.
The facilities here are breathtaking! This was one of the many reasons I decided this was the right school for me.
I have been able to achieve what I always dreamt of! I was part of a musical production, represented the basketball team, won Spelling Bee twice, sang in the Senior Years choir, represented my culture in the Language Week by choreographing a Bollywood dance, became a student editor for the school newspaper and many more.
GEMS (Singapore) has definitely taught me real-life skills that I will be using in the foreseeable future.
The variety of ECA's ignites your passion & creativity to keep exploring! Drama practice in the gigantic auditorium excites me a lot now unlike previously when I used to have stage fright.
Overall, the enthusiasm of the students, teachers as well as loyal parents to the GEMS community is contagious and immeasurable. I couldn't be more gratified.
Thank you to GEMS (Singapore), I cherish some of the most unforgettable experiences in my life so far.
Grade 8.1
GEMS World Academy (Singapore) has provided me with countless opportunities to enhance my learning.
I am thankful for the great support from the GEMS Languages Educators which has helped me to push my limits in learning Chinese Language and improve my grades significantly.
I am a proud member of Model United Nations and Debate Club. The participation in these after school activities helps me to develop speaking, debating, social, research and persuasion skills, and also prepares me for the international relations pathway after high school.
My favourite subject is Individuals and Society. This subject incorporates political aspect into geographical and historical events and encourages to respect and understand the world around us. The most interesting part of the lessons is to answer challenging higher-level "exam like" questions which prepare us for the future scholastic careers.
All students at GEMS (Singapore) are provided with a great opportunity to plan a performance and perform in front of an audience (Language Week Assembly, CNY Assembly etc). I really appreciate this opportunity as it allows us not only to interact with other students from various grade levels, but also become more confident in front of the audience and build presenting/performance skills. These skills are extremely valuable and you can only perfect them by practicing. And GEMS provides an excellent opportunity to do so!
The school's spirit is constantly growing. With the new addition of school houses the feeling of belonging and engagement between the students has grown tremendously. These houses keep every student engaged in friendly competition throughout the year providing opportunities to develop leadership, communication and social skills.
One thing which I really like about the school's environment is the level of acceptance that you will find here. The students and teachers are from all around the world, creating a feeling of belonging no matter where you are from or the experiences you have had in the past. You are never alone here!
Grade 10
GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is a great school with very supportive teachers, modern facilities and several performing opportunities for students across all grades.
The one thing that particularly stood out for me since I joined GEMS in Grade 6 was the support that teachers and school leadership have given me.
They have taught me to learn from mistakes and push my boundaries to grow as a performer. Their continuous trust and support have helped me to feel far more confident while taking risks in performing.
Our teachers believe in us and constructively challenge us everyday. At the beginning it was quite tough, but later on I have realised that they are encouraging us to take ownership of our learning and guiding us to explore and develop our capabilities.
We are performing in different formats, such as solos, team performance or school performance. Thankfully we have great facilities to help make this happen! We have drama, music and practice rooms to do the rehearsals and build a comfort level before performing. We have a wide range of musical instruments allowing us to explore and practice. The school also provides two art rooms, a creative suite and a fully-furnished design centre that enables us to work with clay, wood, metal and plastic.
The school gives us numerous opportunities to showcase our creativity through the arts during the lessons and extracurricular activities, which we can create ourselves to engage with other students and the broader GEMS community.
The school encourages us to actively participate in major productions and performances such as the Wizard of Oz and the Addams Family.
On top of that, GEMS (Singapore) offers various scholarships to acknowledge our dedication to our fields of interest. These provide us mentoring opportunities which develop us further as role-models in the school environment.
Grade 10
GEMS in Singapore has always fostered my growth holistically. Be it academics, arts or sports I have had consistent support to push myself further. I have had the privilege of, being the President of the Student Council, participating in multiple Model United Nations conferences and immerse myself into the multicultural environment. To me, GEMS is all about opportunity.
Being the President of the Student Council has embedded in me the skills of a responsible leader as well as an effective team player. Model United Nations has been invaluable in enhancing my communication and oratory skills and developing techniques for debating and dispute resolution. The skills I am learning go beyond the classroom and will serve me throughout my life.
One of my favourite spaces at GEMS is the Design Centre. In the 'Makerspace' ECA, I am allowed carte blanche to create whatever I want. I have used this opportunity to salvage a working scanner from an old printer, make a soldering fume extractor from found parts and even make myself an ergonomic laptop stand. Through this process I have learnt a great deal about materials, designing techniques and even how to think creatively when making designs.
I have greatly enjoyed engaging in endeavors for the betterment of the school community. I have been involved in setting up and testing of new equipment in the innovation lab and design suite. Through the student council I facilitated community events such as an open mic and students vs teachers basketball game. I even had the unique opportunity of composing the constitution of the Student Council.
The rich cultural backgrounds of my peers have helped me grow into a global citizen. Celebrating our differences and learning about our unique experiences has broadened my understanding of the world!

4 reviews for Baby Liberty 3 Piece Baby Set In Gift Box
Rated 4 out of 5
Dorothy Mann (verified owner) –
The baby flatware set I ordered for my granddaughter is great quality and very nice but I think the pieces could be a little shorter and I also expected the prongs of the fork to be a little duller (for safety). The baby is learning to feed herself with the fork and is pretty darn good at it but the fork is just a little too long and I worry that she'll poke herself in the eye. Overall I love the set and love that it is made in the US.

Excellent quality. Baby likes using them.
Rated 3 out of 5
Edward (verified owner) –
Nice set of baby utensils that match our Betsy Ross flatware set. The larger baby spoon has some finish issues. The bowl of the spoon wasn't completely polished and there is a machining mark. We will still use them but my wife asked if the mark was safe. Good flatware, but not perfect.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I just opened the Baby Liberty I ordered and am so very pleased with it. I love the look and feel. It is outstanding and a gift I am so proud to pass on. Thank you. It will not be easy keeping it a secret until the baby shower in March.

Dave Farris, Pastor
College: Radford University
Seminary: Cincinnati Bible Seminary
After serving as a middle/high school youth pastor for 12 years & attending seminary in Cincinnati, Dave and his family returned back to his home state of Virginia.
He was brought on at Northstar Church in Blacksburg to serve in a variety of staff roles as the church went through several growth spurts. Eventually, the call that drove the Farris family back to Virginia in the first place became undeniably clear.
It really just got to the point where we (Mandy and I) could not avoid this step of faith any longer.
Northstar Church Pulaski began meeting weekly on Sunday September 11, 2013!
Mandy, also a Pulaski native, currently works at the Carilion Clinic in Blacksburg as a registered nurse. She and Dave were married in 2002. Jeremiah (14) loves to play basketball and disc golf as well as watch any show involving Bear Grylls. Thomas (10) is a Lego Master as well as being an avid soccer player. Both boys adore their baby sister Caroline (5), who can already hold her own against her big brothers. The entire family loves to camp and spend time in the outdoors!
Email Dave at email@example.com or follow him on Twitter or Facebook.
Saera Eanes, Kid's Ministry
College: Radford University
Saera first heard the Gospel from her grandmother who lovingly nurtured her relationship with Jesus beginning in infancy and continuing to this day. Her love for children and education began at the age of 7 when her little sister, Marie was born. Between Marie and Greyson (a brother born 3 years later) Saera had her hands full babysitting and learning to care for children and her deep love and passion for children and their education continued to grow.
While at Radford University, she began to feel God's calling to Children's Ministry. After interning at Community Christian Church in the summer of 2015, there was no doubt in her mind that that was where the Lord was leading her. Just a few months later, Dave got in touch with Saera about needing some help in Northstar's Children's Ministry. Now, Saera couldn't feel more at home at Northstar.
Saera met her husband, Patrick, when she was just 12 years old. Though they lost touch through high school and much of college, they fell back in love after reconnecting in 2016. They were married in September 2018 and welcomed their baby girl, Eleanor, in January 2020.
Andrew and Erica Atkinson, Youth Ministry
Andrew and Erica met when they 13 years old in their youth group, and began dating at 15 years old. They have been together ever since; after 6 years of long-distance, they got married in September of 2013. Their great experience in their youth group as they grew up instilled in them a passion to work with youth one day. They both love helping people, and working with youth. They began attending Northstar Pulaski in May 2017 and quickly fell in love with the church, and its vision.
They are both excited to begin the journey of working with the youth, and helping the youth foster their relationship with Jesus Christ. The fellowship, and foundation in their love for Christ that they both developed in their youth group is one they hope to provide for the youth at Northstar. Andrew graduated from Barton College with a degree in History and Social Studies Education, and currently works at Dish Network. Erica recently graduated with a Master's degree from Radford University in Speech-Language Pathology, and works at Radford Health and Rehab. They both enjoy going on walks, spending time with their families and four dogs, and most of all, basketball!
Tyler Snavely, Music Ministry
College: New River Community College
Tyler's relationship with Jesus was nurtured by his caring parents and through involvement in the local Church right here in the New River Valley. He taught himself how to play guitar by ear when he was 9 years old and started leading worship when he was 14. Tyler continues to develop his passion for meaningful worship that God has placed on his heart. Tyler's main instruments are acoustic and electric guitar, but he also plays bass, piano, drums, and any other instrument he can get his hands on.
Tyler met Dave in 2016 when he was asked to help lead worship at their Worship at the Lake services and immediately valued the vision for Northstar. Tyler loves being a part of a body of believers that engages in a culture of sincere worship. He works for Johnson Controls as a security service technician, but he has the ultimate goal of full time ministry as a worship leader and is currently earning his ministry degree online from Johnson University.
His wife Annie Kate is currently in graduate school to become a psychologist. She is a North Carolina native and they met while Tyler was visiting a friend's church in NC when they were only 16. After three years of dating they were married in 2014 and since then they have been so excited to see where the Lord leads them together in ministry.
Tommy Hall, Leadership Board
Tommy and Jeanette began attending Northstar in April 2014 and both quickly became incredible assets to our faith journey in Pulaski County.
Tommy has a gift and heart for worship he constantly uses throughout the week, whether on Sunday mornings with our church family, or in retirement communities with fellow musicians who love the Lord. He is also a professional luthier and enjoys building guitars and repairing other musical instruments.
Jeanette uses her gift of leadership and hospitality to help in many areas of our ministry. Along with helping with our worship ministry by running the sound, she helps in our Northstar Kid's Ministry and often is tasked with leading community initiatives and events.
Adam Parker, Leadership Board
College: Virginia Tech
Adam was one of the first people to have a conversation with Dave about a church plant coming to Pulaski, and has been a vital part of this journey since before Northstar Pulaski's inception in 2012. Adam originally met Meghan at the church' first Halloween Block Party in 2012. The rest is history – they were married two years later on October 4th, 2014. Adam graduated from Virginia Tech in Civil Engineering and is a project manager for an engineering contractor in the New River Valley. Meghan has her Education degree from Radford University and enjoys being a work from home mama.
Adam and Meghan have a heart for foster care in Pulaski County and love being involved with the Department of Social Services to help reunite estranged families with their children. God blessed them with one daughter, Merryn, who was born in August of 2016, and an adopted son Elijah who officially joined their family in December of 2018.
Wayne Coake, Leadership Board
College: LeTourneau University, Longview, TX
Wayne enjoyed a career in engineering and management with various corporations. During that time, he supported church in various roles as Sunday School teacher and superintendent, personnel team and pastor search team leader, budget team, prayer team, and deacon.
Wayne and Martha came to Northstar Pulaski early in 2017. Since that time they have become involved in various areas of ministry including prayer ministry, connection center, children's ministry, small groups and D28. They joined the Montreal mission team in the summer of 2018.
"Having grown up in Pulaski County, we lived away, in various places, during most of our married life. At every location, local churches were a focal point of living. While each had an influence in Christian growth and maturity, we were still searching for a church where we could, to borrow a phrase that best expresses our desire, 'be the church'… following Jesus Christ, and leading others to do the same."

When BLANCO was founded by Heinrich Blanc, way back in 1925 in Germany, their focus was clear: it was quite simply to be "the best".
The company has established worldwide acclaim for its unswerving commitment to producing innovative but functional products of the highest quality, and to supporting their products with second-to-none service. This commitment remains the cornerstone of their policy.
At the heart of their philosophy is also concern for the environment and, many years ago, BLANCO set up a department devoted to the development of environmentally-friendly products and production processes.
Initially dedicated to producing products in premium-quality stainless steel, they have since developed various other quality materials, notably the introduction of colour with our SILGRANIT® PuraDur® II composite sink material, and now colour with fine fireclay ceramics.
Today Blanco supply over 120 countries from their Head Office in Germany, the range is constantly updated in response to changing times and needs, and many products have won prestigious international design awards over the years.
KOHLER® products offer intrinsic quality born of tradition. Skills passed down through generations combine with innovative techniques and timeless design to establish the enduring character for which Kohler is known.
There is no substitute for the knowing hand that sculpts the rim of a washbasin or the eye that succinctly measures the thickness of enamel on red-hot cast iron as if by instinct. This experience is bold. This experience is art.
Carron Phoenix is best known for its sink manufacturing these days but Carron Phoenix can be traced back to 1759 when The Carron Company was founded as an iron foundry in Falkirk. Back then, The Carron Company became a manufacturing power-house, driving the industrial revolution in Scotland to a point where it employed 5000 people, operated its own fleet of steam ships and even issued its own currency to enable global trading. During The Carron Company's history it made domestic items like flat irons, cast iron baths, range cookers and most famously the Carronade cannons used by Wellington at Waterloo. Carron Company could lay claim to a marketing first as it was the first organisation worldwide to have its name synonymous with a product, as Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, was equipped with "Carronades". Later Carron turned its expertise to making Britain's famous red telephone boxes and post boxes.
Franke is a Swiss company operating in a number of different markets on a global scale. The company was formed in 1911, and Franke produced their first sink in 1925.
Franke is the World's largest manufacturer of kitchen sinks, and is at the forefront of research and development of new materials and products for the kitchen. Franke UK is wholly integrated into the Franke Kitchen System Division.
The modern sink has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Gone are the days when it was a massive sink tub fixed to wall, with a wooden drainer beside it. Now, with kitchen design playing a key role in home improvement, it has ceased to be a mere workaday item.
Now it is designed to be good looking, even fashionable, as well as functional. And options are much wider in terms of materials, colours, styles and formats. Franke is always at the forefront of design implementation in the manufacture of new models and materials.

My Approach to Helping
I believe in helping people become more themselves, deepening into their life experience. I prefer to work within the values of the person seeking help and to support and challenge them to transform their life.

I believe in helping people become more themselves, deepening into their life experience. I prefer to work within the values of the person seeking help and to support and challenge them to transform their life.
Many insurance plans cover out of network providers. In some instances, a sliding fee scale may be available. Please contact me for more information.
I think for many it's a safe, supportive, and relatively objective atmosphere in which you can voice your hopes, fears, and concerns and have them met with supportive acceptance and helpful feedback.
Ultimately I think psychotherapy is about accepting yourself as you are, as you wish to be, and as you wish you weren't and then the journey of continually reconciling these dimensions.
I love helping people. I love listening and being able to engage in deep conversation about meaningful issues. I love that I get to watch people transform their lives every day. My passion comes from the fulfillment I get from being a part of that process and from feeling I am in a deeply humanistic profession.
I see my role as being the believer, the one who holds onto hope that things change when you're unsure.
I believe the focus of my work is on understanding the self. This often branches into other areas.
In addition to adhering to the standard ethics of my profession and the Commonwealth's regulations for counseling, I have very high personal standards for ethical conduct. I work to stay within the value framework of each client and strive to empower them to realize their own vision of success. I do not undertake cases I feel I am not sufficiently suited to work with and do my best to help locate a therapist who can meet the need. I have clear interpersonal boundaries, which I communicate to clients verbally and in writing. It is my sincere effort and hope that each action I take is of benefit to my client.
Everyone is different. Some people have tried therapy before, but it may not have been a very good match. Others have been in therapy, but it was very long ago. For people who are scared or skeptical of therapy and have never tried it, I would suggest talking with a few different therapists and perhaps some friends or family members who have tried it. Ultimately, it's a very personal decision, and you have to do what's right for you.
I would suggest that you be very direct and honest about your negative experience and, if possible, be specific about what you did not like. It's been my experience that there are as many different kinds of therapist as there are people and most will make an effort to provide the service you are seeking if you ask.
I think it's important to feel like you can trust your therapist and relax a bit. Most people are at least somewhat distressed when they seek therapy, so there's no need to add to that difficulty by feeling like you have to tiptoe.
I think personal work is an essential component to becoming a better therapist. You know yourself better, so you can use more of yourself in your work. You also know what it's like to be on the other side of the therapeutic relationship.
I am most influenced by existentialist thinkers like Irvin Yalom and Rollo May. Other thinkers from various schools of thought that have influenced me are Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, John Gottman, Paul Ekman, and the Dalai Lama.
Emerging neuroscience seems to be pointing toward a biological basis for much of what we think of as mental disorders; however, I think a person's view of their self is paramount to how they function in the world. Many mental health concerns are not about mental disorders but about living in an increasingly complex world, feeling uncertain about oneself in relationship, and trying to maximize the time and potential we have.
The client ultimately decides when the course of therapy is complete, though I offer my thoughts about it when asked or when I notice a significant shift. As for the frequency, that depends very much on the person, the nature of their issue, and their preferences. I believe a person can make fairly significant change in a few months; however, I also believe effort and willingness to be open to your experience plays a substantial role in how long change can take.

Issa Akberbayev views December return
According to Kazakh sources unbeaten Cruiserweight contender Issa Akberbayev (20-0-0-1, 15) [Акбербаев Иса] is looking to return to the ring before the end of 2018.
At the moment details aren't finalised but sources report that the unbeaten 34 year old seemed itching to get back to action, after essentially wasting 2018.
The last time we saw Akberbayev in the ring was last December, when he stopped Mirnes Denadic in Ukraine in 3 rounds. Disappointing that was only his second bout of the year, following another early win over Yuriy Barashian, and in the 36 months he has fought a combined 13 rounds of 4 bouts. It's a shame he's been so inactive given the promise and potential he once had, though at 34 years old it is a case of "now or never" for the Bumblebee.

Building a local food economy, what are the barriers?
November 26, 2008 at 2:26 pm Dee Leave a comment
North Carolina is the largest producer of sweet potatoes in the country, yet often the orange taters in the big supermarket near where I live come all of the way from California. And don't get me started about how difficult it is to find a ripe local tomato or a firm N.C. apple in the produce section even at the height of the growing season. What's up with that?
There are lots of reasons why even though North Carolina is the eighth largest agricultural state, and Chatham county is one of the few where small sustainable farms are on the rise, we still don't find locally produced meats and vegetables in our supermarkets or our school cafeterias. It has to do with everything from federal food policies that subsidize mega commodity growers who produce feed for animals instead of food for people, to the lack of local distribution and processing centers to handle and market our produce close to where it's grown.
And then there's the challenge of who is left out of the sustainable food chain? Local farm experts addressed all of these issues today on WUNC FM public radio's "State of Things." Guests included Jennifer Curtis of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, who is working with farmers and whole food advocates across North Carolina to develop a statewide local food action plan for a truly local food system. Other guests included a farmland preservation advocate, an African American farmer and a Hispanic grocer. Click here to download the program from I-tunes.

Robert Mugabe and Grace Mugabe seen here looking stressed with the happenings leading to their downfall.Grace looks very humble while Mugabe appears to be sleeping.How life changes.
Some Zimbabweans including police officers could not wait and started removing Mugabe's portraits from their walls.
Commenting on the image of a police officer dumping the portrait sisi Vee said,
?? "On the police .Always remember that some of them were bullying and terrorising us under Mugabe and I would call them Zanupf police .Since we are still under zanupf rule chances are they will still do the same just like the soldiers.The struggle that Chiwenga won was not a struggle to free us from the ruthless zanupf thugs and thieves.It was a struggle to bring back Chiwenga's personal and business ally Mnangagwa into power .He only won because he used our guns ." Said sisi Vee
Meanwhile a video showing some Zimbabweans removing Mugabe's portrait from a hotel has gone viral. Commenting on the video sisi Vee said,
?? Desist from Baboon Activism fellow Zimbabweans.
Hoping you are all doing ndizvowo. All non government offices or companies that are still hanging Mugabe's portrait will remove the portraits when the right time comes.
Why not just forcibly remove from government offices if you have run out of patience, unless it is a publicity stunt.
Firstly, removing Mugabe's portraits from hotels should never be your struggle unless you have no bigger struggles.
Secondly, those portraits were officially mounted by those companies such as hotels and will be officially unmounted . Why anyone would tresspass and engage in vandalism in company buildings boggles my mind.
Thirdly, some individuals not hotels can actually decide to keep the portraits as part of their museum collection and you are forcing them not to do so because you instilling fear in those in possession of the portrait.
4. In any struggle we need to know what our struggle is about or else we lose the plot.
*I think Activism should not be about being barbaric when it is not called for * Said sisi Vee

When the Bible Isn't Clear
Mark Grapengater via Compfight
Roger Olson wrote a post today entitled How to Solve a Theological Dilemma when Scripture Doesn't Clearly Solve It: An Exercise in Theological Method. The title itself is provocative and problematic if you're a fundamentalist, so Roger spends some time dealing with the mindset of fundamentalism. This is a really valuable read if you're wrestling with a theological issue and trying to decide how to proceed.
A tiny peek at one of Roger's points to whet your whistle:
8. Back to fundamentalism versus non-fundamentalism: A fundamentalist will reject this entire method of solving theological and doctrinal dilemmas because it admits ambiguity in the Bible about even some important theological and doctrinal issues which is impossible from a fundamentalist point of view. Many non-fundamentalists will also reject this method for a very different reason: they are so comfortable with ambiguity (and perhaps afraid of fundamentalism) that they don't feel any need to settle doctrinal and theological issues about which the Bible is not crystal clear. Both approaches have problems, however. The fundamentalist approach leads to numerous schisms and divisions to say nothing of imposing personal opinions on the Bible and making all doctrinal and theological issues equally important. The opposite approach leads to warm, fuzzy spirituality devoid of cognitive content and leaves inquiring minds without satisfying answers.

Talk 1 At St. Patrick's School (2018)
First of two annual 1-hour talks introducing Buddhism to non-Buddhist students at St. Patrick's School, as invited, as part of their inter-religious understanding program.
One of them told me of his interest in the Heart Sutra. I replied that I have a 10-lesson course on it, and to email me for more details. Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
From Bro. Nicholas who is in charge of the program, 'Thank yo… for your sharing yesterday. See you again. Thanks for telling us that you learnt formally Buddhist lessons in St Patrick's. I was happy to hear that.'
