I might get my head torn off by The Ballmer for posting this "I'm a PC" bit of trivia today, but the irony is too great to pass up. Turns out that phase two of the "I'm a PC " advertising counterattack against Apple was... created on a Mac. If Apple was smart, and I think they are, they'd have another Hodgeman ad making fun of this produced and in the can yesterday.
The offending evidence was metadata found in the images of the PC user featured on the "I'm a PC" web site. The data exposed the fact that the images were produced using Macs running Adobe Creative Suite 3.
Microsoft has since responded to the controversy, saying in a statement that "as is common in almost all campaign workflow, agencies and production houses use a wide variety of software and hardware to create, edit and distribute content, including both Macs and PCs."
They then scrubbed the metadata from the imagery.
We recently asked you guys and gals if advertising could make Microsoft "hip." The answer, it appears, is yes—so long as Redmond is creating said advertising on a Mac. [Digital Daily]

A jury convicted a Los Angeles man on Thursday of attacking, threatening and kidnapping his ex-girlfriend in Duarte in May, authorities said.
The Alhambra jury found Albert Casillas, 38, guilty of kidnapping, domestic violence and making criminal threats following a four-day trial, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokesman Ricardo Santiago said in a written statement.
He faces up to 24 years and four months in state prison when he returns to the Alhambra branch of Los Angeles County Superior Court on Sept. 28.
The series of crimes took place on May 3.
Casillas went to his ex-girlfriend's Duarte home and, while in front of the woman's residence, forced her into his vehicle and threatened to hurt her if she got out," Santiago said. Casillas then drove the victim from the kidnapping scene at Millbrae and Central avenues to his home in East Los Angeles.
A witness reported the abduction, and deputies arrived to find the woman suffering from injuries to her body, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. John McClure said at the time.
The woman told deputies she had not been the victim of any crimes, but deputies arrested Casillas based on her injuries and the accounts of witnesses, McClure said.
The jury convicted Casillas of all three crimes with which he was charged.

Raeside Chisholm Solicitors
MSPs vote in favour of smacking ban bill
The Scottish parliament has voted by an overwhelming majority (80 votes to 29) in support of banning the physical punishment of children.
The bill, which was lodged by the Scottish Green MSP John Finnie, removes the defence of 'justifiable assault' from Scots law and "send a clear message" that physically punishing children is unacceptable.
What are the current laws?
Whether the victim is a child or adult, an attack on one person by another is considered an assault. Although assault against adults cannot be justified in Scotland, currently some cases of assault against children can. If someone is charged with assault of a child, the person can claim the defence of 'reasonable chastisement' or 'justifiable assault' where they have used physical force to discipline a child. The bill argues that children are therefore not given the same legal protection as adults.
In England and Northern Ireland, parents are allowed to use 'reasonable chastisement', while the Welsh government introduced similar legislation to Scotland in March 2019.
Several MSPs argued against the proposal, with Oliver Mundell calling the bill "sheer madness" as it would criminalise parents for disciplining their children. Labour's Iain Gray also warned that passing the legislation would not "resolve all the difficulties and challenges that face children in the country today."
However, chief executive of charity Children 1st, Mary Glasgow, believes the bill is not intended to blame or shame parents but is a 'momentous step' forward in dealing with children's rights in line with other countries:
"Acknowledging that family life is better when hitting and violence is off the table helps with that cultural shift and brings legislation up to date with where most people have already got to."
There are currently 54 countries that prohibit the physical punishment of children, and a further 56 counties that have committed to reforming laws to ban physical punishment against children.
National head of service for NSPCC Scotland, Matt Forde, concluded:
"Rectifying this unfair legal loophole is a common-sense step, which would bring Scotland into line with dozens of other countries across the world.
Physical punishment is harmful to children and its days are rightly numbered."
The bill – Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Bill – will now be scrutinised and amended at committee stage.

Tropidemys langii
Reptilia - Testudines - Plesiochelyidae
NMS uncat. (paralectotypes), an isolated neural and an isolated costal V (Rütimeyer 1873a, pl. 7.3–4). Additional paralectotypes possibly exist but are impossible to identify with certainty based on the original publication. Rütimeyer (1873a) established Tropidemys langii based on a type series consisting of a large fragment of the pos- terior region of a carapace, several isolated neurals and costals, and several fragments of plastron from the Kimmeridgian of Solothurn, Switzerland. Since no specimen numbers are men- tioned in the original publication, it is difficult to be certain as to which specimens are part of the type series, notably, regard- ing the isolated neurals and costals. Bräm (1965) concluded that all but one of the plastron fragments should be referred to Tha- lassemys hugii, but the remaining specimen (NMS 8651, for- merly NMS 19) was subsequently also excluded from Tropidemys langii based on comparison with more complete material from the vicinity of Porrentruy (Püntener et al. 2014). Therefore, the large fragment of carapace (NMS 8554, formerly NMS 16) is the only unambiguous syntype. Bräm (1965) incorrectly referred to this specimen as the holotype, but, according to the ICZN rules, this should nevertheless be interpreted as a valid lectotype designation (ICZN 1999, art. 74.5). An isolated neural and costal V are the only known potential paralectotypes as they were illustrated by Rütimeyer (1873a), but no attempt has been made to find them in the NMS collections.
It was corrected as Tropidemys langi by Delair (1958), Bräm (1965) and Lapparent de Broin et al. (1996).

While there are plenty of things to do in Cusco, there is SO much more awaiting you beyond the city limits! Below are some of the most breathtaking day trips from Cusco.
To visit the places listed below, you will need to hitch a ride. You have two options:
- Private taxis (the most expensive, but fastest choice)
- Shared combis/colectivos/buses (the least expensive, slower choice)
You can catch a taxi from anywhere in the city. For combis/colectivos heading to Urubamba or Ollantaytambo, head to Avenida Grau. For combis/colectivos or buses headed to Pisac, head to Calle Puputi.
Insider's Tip: When you take trips around Peru, make sure to bring your passport and your Immigration Card/Tarjeta Andina. You will need to show these when you check into hotels because they'll need to make a copy.
*I may receive a commission if you choose to purchase through any of my affiliate links below. Thanks for your support!
#1 Chinchero
This small Andean village is renowned for having some of the best textiles in all of Peru. The villagers spend the week dyeing and weaving their products by hand, and then sell their handcrafts on Sundays at the village market. You can find some of the finest alpaca wool products here, from gloves, to scarves, to chompas (sweaters), to hats. The prices tend to be lower than the markets in Cusco. It is acceptable to bargain on any of the items.
While the textile market is what Chinchero is famous for, it would be a mistake to leave without exploring the beautiful scenery the rest of the town has to offer! After you've had your fill of shopping, head up to the hills by the market, and into the town square. Keep trekking even farther and you'll come across some breathtaking, massive stones and caves that are ripe for exploring. Traverse even farther and you'll find donkeys and pigs roaming freely in the hillside and grazing the grass. It's very peaceful; you might even pack a picnic for a relaxing lunch.
Getting to Chinchero from Cusco is easy. You can take a taxi or a combi/colectivo. A taxi to Chinchero from Cusco usually costs about S/. 30, whereas a colectivo costs S/. 3 per person. Be aware that if the driver of the colectivo knows you're a tourist, he may quote you a higher price. Pay close attention to the price he tells the locals, and insist on paying the same. Colectivos, while cheaper, are also less comfortable, and there isn't much organization. Head to Avenida Grau, and you'll see a bunch of large vans. Look for one with a sign on the front reading "Chinchero," or simply ask the drivers if they stop at Chinchero. If they are on their way to Urubamba or Ollantaytambo, they can usually stop at Chinchero along the way. There isn't a set schedule. The colectivo will leave whenever it's full—and they certainly know how to pack that van! Expect to be squeezed against strangers sitting in the aisles. When you get to Chinchero, hand your fare to the driver as you get out.

#2 Ccochahuasi Animal Sanctuary, Sacred Valley, Peru
Located just before the town of Pisac, Ccochahuasi Animal Sanctuary is a privately owned, family-run organization that rescues animals that have been injured or treated cruelly.
The crown jewel of this experience is the opportunity to come face-to-face with Andean condors, beautiful and endangered birds that are pivotal to the Andean culture. In addition to condors, Ccochahuasi has llamas, alpacas, falcons, pumas (mountain lions), and more. You can even touch many of the animals. Entrance is free, but the park does accept and rely on donations.
Be sure to read my full review of Ccochahuasi Animal Sanctuary.
#3 Pisac
Located in the Sacred Valley, Pisac is another destination many expats enjoy for its calmer, quieter atmosphere compared to Cusco. Tourists pack the Pisac market on Sundays to hunt for souvenirs, but the prices here are often more expensive than in Cusco. Sadly, I never got to go to this town. But I've heard recommendations to dine at Ulrike's Café, a very popular restaurant lauded for having the best carrot cake. Another highly recommended restaurant is The Blue Llama.
Check out this full-day Sacred Valley tour, including a visit to Pisac Market
#4 Parque de la Papa
Just past Pisac is the Parque de la Papa. This hidden gem isn't listed in many guidebooks, and what a shame that is! This is a "potato park" run by a group of six Andean villages living in community with one another, growing and harvesting more than a thousand varieties of pure-bred potatoes using techniques and breeds that date all the way back to ancient Inca times! No machines. No chemicals. All organic.
Started in 2007, Parque de la Papa grew out of these villagers' desire to preserve ancient traditions and potatoes, as well as find a way to form a self-sustaining community.
Bask in the peaceful solitude of this community high in the mountains, sitting at altitudes ranging from 10,000 to 16,000 feet. Free from the honking horns and car-exhaust-filled air, you can really get a taste of what Peru was like when the Incas roamed the land. Rolling hills, soaring mountaintops, grazing alpacas, and babbling streams will greet you as you explore the area by foot, with the occasional car ride to take you to villages farther away. Look in the distance and see the lines cut across the green hills; these are the potato terraces. As you make your way along the tour, you'll get to sample different varieties of cooked potatoes.
Each potato has a purpose. Some are only meant to be boiled; others only meant to be fried; and still others are meant to be freeze dried. The freeze-drying process is lengthy and interesting. The potatoes are brought to terraces at a high altitude, spread out on the ground, and left overnight to freeze. After that, they are left out for up to a week to dehydrate them. Once the potatoes are freeze dried, they can last for years. Just add water before eating them. In fact, freeze-dried potatoes have been found in ancient Inca sites, and when water was added to the potatoes, they were still edible!
This park isn't only about potatoes though; it also has animals such as alpacas, llamas, cows, sheep, and chickens.
Tours of the park come in many different lengths and varieties and can be customized to fit your needs. A one-day tour is most popular, and a guide will take you (via bus and walking) to different sites, explaining the purpose of each and how they cultivate potatoes on the land. In the middle of the day, he'll take you to the park's restaurant, where villagers will prepare a home-cooked meal consisting of vegetables, meat, grain, and of course potatoes, all grown right there in the community.
After lunch, some of the villagers may bring their handcrafts and lay them out in the field outside the restaurant. You're welcome to take a look at the brightly colored bracelets, alpaca scarves, and other artisan textiles. If you like what you see, you can make a purchase to support the community. Additionally, you can leave a tip with your tour guide, but this is not required.
The effort the villagers put into preserving their land and their traditions is incredible. Definitely consider making a stop here. Get more information on Parque de la Papa here.
**Note: It's a bit tricky to find a way to get a tour of Parque de la Papa. Again, it's small and community-run and rather new. I know that G Adventures includes a visit to the Parque de la Papa in its 8-day Machu Picchu tour package.**
#5 Urubamba
This city lies between Cusco and Ollantaytambo. Since it has no ancient ruins, Urubamba is not a popular tourist destination, but it does serve as a great jumping off point for exploring nearby Maras, where the Salineras salt pools are, and Moray, where the Inca agricultural site is (both are described below).
From the Urubamba bus terminal (just off the main highway coming from Cusco), you can hire a taxi to drive you to both places. When I did this in 2014, I paid about S/. 85 for a taxi driver to spend about three and a half hours shuttling me to Moray and Maras/Salineras and waiting for me as I toured the sites.
Check out this guided tour of Urubamba
#6 Maras/Salineras salt pools
One of the most popular day trips from Cusco is the Maras salt pools. This was my favorite spot on the Sacred Valley tour because it is so visually stunning. You approach the salt pools from up high as your bus or taxi hugs the cliff on a dirt road, giving you a bird's eye view of thousands of salt pools glistening in the sun. Maras is the name of the nearby town; Salineras is the name of the salt pools.
You can explore the place with a guide or on your own. Everything is very hands on; you are free to stick your hands in the warm salt pools and taste them, and if you spot a worker, they may even let you try one of their tools to harvest the salt. Villagers from Maras harvest salt from the pools; you can purchase this salt at one of the many shops set up at the site.
#7 Moray
Moray is an ancient Inca agricultural experimentation site consisting of several terraces built into a deep depression in the ground. The temperature differs significantly between the bottom and top, forming microclimates at each level. It is thought that the Incas experimented to see how crops would grow in varying climate conditions.
Walking down to the bottom of the terraces can be a daunting task. The steps are carved out of stone and jut out from the wall of each terrace, so they require careful maneuvering. A favorite photo op for tourists is to lie down at the center of the bottom circle and have someone take a photo from up top.
#8 Ollantaytambo
Headed to Machu Picchu? Check out these tours!
Insider's Tip: If reading the name "Ollantaytambo" gave you a headache, you're not alone! Everyone has a hard time pronouncing this one. Here's how to say it: "Oh-yawn-tie-TAWM-boh." Most locals simply refer to it as "Ollanta" ("Oh-YAWN-tuh").
Situated a bit lower than Cusco at 9,160 feet in elevation, Ollantaytambo is a smaller town in the Sacred Valley beside beautiful Inca ruins (pictured above). This is a nice place to visit if you want to get away from crowded Cusco, but it can be just as touristy. Many people stop here on their way to Machu Picchu, as Ollanta has a train station for PeruRail and Inca Rail.
For digital nomads, this town is tricky because Wi-Fi is very slow here (slower than Cusco), and the restaurant and hotel owners aren't ashamed to admit it. At every hotel I visited, when I asked if the Wi-Fi was fast, they laughed, shook their head, and said it's slow in all of Ollanta. Many hotels don't even offer Wi-Fi, but you can get around this by going to one of the several cafes in the main square. Just a 20-minute bus ride will take you to the larger town of Urubamba, where the technology does support faster Wi-Fi.
Since Ollantaytambo is such a major stop on the way to Machu Picchu, I will go into greater detail on how to overnight here in case you, like so many others, decide to make a longer trip out of it.
Getting to Ollantaytambo from Cusco
The cheapest way is to take a colectivo. The price should be close to S/. 10 from Cusco to Ollantaytambo. On the way, the colectivo often stops in Urubamba. You can also take a private taxi for approximately S/. 90. The road is winding and mountainous, and it changes altitude drastically at some points. Be prepared for a little carsickness if you're sensitive to motion. The drive takes about one and a half hours.
Places to Eat in Ollantaytambo
La Esquina Cafe (Located in the Ollantaytambo Plaza de Armas)
This is my favorite restaurant in Ollantaytambo. I stopped here on my first trip to Machu Picchu and ordered the "el mauro," a hearty breakfast of seasoned rice and black beans, avocado, egg, tomato, onion, fried plantains, and bacon (optional). Ever since, I have dreamt about that breakfast, which is one of the best I've ever had. I actually made a trip back to Ollantaytambo a couple months later for the sole purpose of experiencing the el mauro again. Another strong contender is the banana pancakes—I've never had pancakes so fluffy and rich! The bananas are cooked into the batter, and a bit of salt is added for a delightful combination of sweet and salty. I also highly recommend their ginger, honey, and lime tea, which is a welcomed elixir to soothe your upset stomach after that harrowing ride from Cusco to Ollantaytambo.
Coffee Tree Cafe (Located in the Ollantaytambo Plaza de Armas)
Coffee Tree Cafe has a variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items, including American-style food and traditional Peruvian fare. Try the pollo saltado, and end it on a sweet note with their walnut brownie. This is also a great place to soak in the Ollantaytambo atmosphere and people watch. Head up to the second floor for a great view of the square below.
El Albergue (Located at the Ollantaytambo Train Station)
Part of an upscale hotel located right inside the train station, El Albergue is a high-quality restaurant that serves fresh, organic produce and meat sourced from the farm on its property. During the day, El Albergue serves sandwiches, soups, and other entrees in a casual setting. For dinnertime, the restaurant has a classier backdrop, with tablecloths, candles, and a different menu. If you want to have dinner here, it's recommended that you make a reservation ahead of time, though it's not required. While you're here, ask if you can take a tour of the sprawling organic farm behind the restaurant.
Places to Stay in Ollantaytambo
Below are the places I stayed while visiting Ollantaytambo. You'll notice I list street names without numbers; that's because Ollantaytambo is so small there aren't real addresses. Just walk the street, ask around, or call the hotel, and they'll be happy to give you directions or come find you.
Hostal Iskay (Located on Patacalle)
Cost: S/. 120 per night for a double room
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, a space heater for S/. 10 per night, breakfast buffet for S/. 20, hot water 24 hours
This small, seven-room hostel has a beautiful garden and incredible views of the Ollantaytambo ruins. There is also a lounge area and a kitchen that guests are welcome to use.
Inka Paradise Hotel (Located on Mascabamba)
Cost: S/. 83 per night for a single room
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, nice garden area for relaxing, onsite cafe, hot water 24 hours
Situated on the corner near the Ollantaytambo Market, this hotel has a relaxing garden and partial views of the ruins.
Hostal Kiswar (Located in Ollantaytambo's Plaza de Armas)
Cost: US$28 for a single room
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, hot water 24 hours, a cute cafe on the bottom floor
This small, family-run hostel is right in the heart of the main square, with some rooms overlooking the plaza. I stayed in the single room, which is tiny, but I found it quaint and relaxing.
Getting to the Ollantaytambo Train Station
If your next stop is Machu Picchu, you'll need to get to the train station. You can walk there from the main square in about 15 minutes, or you can take a taxi or one of the little moto taxis. I prefer the moto taxis—they're an adventure! And really cheap. It shouldn't cost you more than S/. 2 to get a ride to the station. Transportation to the train station can easily be found in the main square.
#9 Rainbow Mountain
Recently, Rainbow Mountain has been quickly catching up to Machu Picchu as Cusco's most popular attraction. And you can see why—it looks unreal! Sadly, I didn't get a chance to visit it when I was in Cusco; I didn't even know it existed!

#10 Machu Picchu
"In the variety of its charms and the power of its spell, I know of no place in the world which can compare with it."
-Hiram Bingham, American discoverer of Machu Picchu
Okay, we all know you probably came to Cusco to see Machu Picchu, and with good reason! If you don't want to go through the hassle of obtaining entrance tickets on your own, you can have a tour company get Machu Picchu tickets for you. Just realize you'll pay more for the convenience.
For tourists, Cusco is often merely a checkpoint on the way to their main destination: Machu Picchu. I think that's a big mistake because that viewpoint causes them to miss out on the richness of Cusco. Since Machu Picchu is only a tiny part of life in Peru and because there are so many books, blog posts, and tour packages that already cover this destination, I'll cover it only in brief below.
Don't get me wrong, Machu Picchu is amazing. This ancient site, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, is an architectural masterpiece of intricate drainage systems, temples, huts, and terraces soaring over the cloud forest in a fertile region of Cusco. In 2013, more than one million people made the long and pricey journey to see it.
Constructed by the Incas at the height of their empire in the 15th century, much of this citadel is still shrouded in mystery. No one knows for sure why it was built; some believe it was a royal estate for Inca ruler Pachacutec; others believe it was a transit station for agricultural products; still others think it was a sacred Inca site that was used as a temple honoring their gods. Even more perplexing is why this marvelous city was left behind; it appears to have been abandoned shortly before the Spanish conquered the Inca Empire, and it was never discovered by the conquistadors.
Another part of Machu Picchu's mystique is it is an engineering marvel. The Incas are famous for their architectural technique of fitting massive stones together with incredible accuracy and without using mortar. The very fact that the structures have stood for more than 500 years attests to the Incas' building expertise.
For hundreds of years, Machu Picchu remained hidden from the rest of the world, until 1911, when Yale University historian Hiram Bingham claimed he discovered it. That claim is now disputed; many say Machu Picchu was known by the locals and was not as hidden as Bingham had made it sound.

In this remarkable and uplifting book, Linda delves deeply into her own experience to share with readers the keys to regaining emotional and spiritual wholeness. Linda believes that real healing has nothing to do with the state of the physical body, and she offers a compassionate and inspirational message—along with support, skills, and encouragement—to those who want to embrace the challenge of living successfully with illness. It is her intention to leave people transformed with more power, freedom, self expression, and peace of mind.
Linda's second book, Wheelchair Wisdom™: Awaken Your Spirit through Adversity, shatters widespread notions of what it's like to spend life in a wheelchair, which addresses the unique circumstances of the millions of people in wheelchairs. She wants to convey the message that lies at the heart of her convictions—that people are more than their wheelchairs, more than their disabled bodies. Wheelchair Wisdom™ bears testimony to what Linda has learned and experienced—that each of us, regardless of circumstances, can move through life with freedom in a creative and joyful way.

I am an artist who writes and takes photographs and I have a passion for beauty and creativity. I create travel adventures and family portraits.
As a child growing up in the solitude of the countryside, writing and art were my first interests. At 14, my parents took me to Verdun Gorge in France, and I borrowed my mother's Yashica SLR. The camera was stolen at school but not before I had created several albums of portraits of friends, of trees, of animals and landscapes. At Edinburgh University I constructed my own MA course of Renaissance European Literature and History – perfect for the writer I wanted to be. I started my career as a writer for Time Magazine in Paris in 1998. Returning to London, I started working for The Independent, The Telegraph, Tatler and Harper's Bazaar and various other publications, taking my camera along on assignments, interviewing celebrities and writing about travel. Photography demanded centre stage for me and absorbed as much training as I could, working with leading photographers and studying with Central St Martins, then embarking on the challenging discipline of wedding photography to develop my skill.
Now my passion is writing and photography, melding in the rich cultural themes that I absorbed on my explorations. To create your family portraits, get in touch via the contact page or on 07977 538424
Please note that I formerly traded under my maiden name of Fiona Campbell, and following my marriage now trade as Fiona Campbell Hicks.
Someone once said that Nature is the Divine Presence in the world. By its very essence, nature is beautiful, and so are we when we are close to our own true selves. My work aims to serve by illuminating, encouraging and uniting people through beautiful, natural and luminous art.
I strive to make Fiona Campbell Photography as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible, sourcing recycled and renewable materials wherever possible.
5% of profits go towards supporting the wonderful Cardinal Hume Centre which does such great work in turning around the lives of homeless young people and to Actionaid, probably the most effective and targeted of the international development agencies.
- Travel Writing and Photography
- Portraits
- Family Portraits
I work in London and all over the world. Get in touch now to see how I can help you via firstname.lastname@example.com or 07977 538424
"I did a 'portrait' photoshoot with Fiona […- she] made me feel the most beautiful woman alive and the results were absolutely gorgeous! I was a little nervous and Fiona made me feel utterly relaxed and not at all self-conscious, coaxing some really lovely shots out of me. It was a really fun day too —starting with a professional hair and make up artist session to get me ready for the camera, and a series of shots in all my favourite dresses. Highly recommend!"
"Wow Fiona fantastic job! We are delighted with these photos and spoilt for choice! Thank you so much"
"Right away Fiona put me at ease in front of the camera. For most of the time I didn't really notice she was taking pictures and thoroughly enjoyed myself. She made me feel relaxed and as such the images she produced were exactly what I wanted."

"Cashflow is the killer" - that's what they say.
Sometimes bad cashflow causes problems you'd not even expect. It's like the butterfly effect. I discovered this whilst trying to solve a current business problem for my own business tonight.
So, our current problem is this. New projects are taking more time and effort "land" than usual.
This doesn't sound like a cashflow problem. But it is.
To identify this, I listed out the symptoms we're experiencing:
- Lots of enquiries have come through. Great. We have a pipeline of potential sales
- About 30% of these enquiries are highly desirable companies to work for. Great.
- Proposals are taking longer to create than usual. Booo.
- I'm giving a lot of free consultancy to potential clients in order to win trust. Hmmm.
- One of our key projects is delayed, so we can't start. Hmmm.
Cause and Effect
So, I was scribbling out some cause and effect. I started out with these assumptions:
- High quality proposals increase the time to land a project (to get an agreed purchase order)
- Quoting projects that aren't a good fit for your company takes longer, which in turn slows down the time it takes to land the project
- Giving away free consultancy slows down landing the project. Well, to a point. You have to build trust. But ultimately why would the customer rush to start the project if they're making some progress for free?
- Working with more potential customers dilutes your time, which results in a slower turnaround on proposals, which delays landing the project
So, the question is. Why would anyone...
- begin to quote projects that are a bad fit?
- give away hours upon hours for free?
- work on tons of proposals at once without setting customer expectations for a delay?
After more scribbling and thinking, I realised the answer is. Drum roll....
Sales Pressure == Bad Cashflow
I found this when I started thinking about the rest of the business to answer these questions.
I decided I was quoting bad projects, giving away consultancy, and overloading myself for one main reason.
Sales Pressure. Basically, we need to sell in order to achieve a good cashflow.
But then I realised that my company is owed enough money to keep going for months. So it's not Sales Pressure that's the problem, it's Late Payments that are creating the sales pressure.
Causal Loop Diagrams - a good thinking tool
Here's a causal loop diagram I sketched whilst exploring the problem.
What to do next?
So, what do do about that?
Well, I decided on the following course of actions...
- Chase payments more aggressively (chasing, threats and penalties are the key options here)
- Set client expectations for delayed turnaround time on their proposals
- Ask clients to pay for further consultancy
- For non-optimal projects, send out slightly less detailed proposals
- Chase payments again :)
This would solve the cashflow problem, set client expectations, and divert unwanted business elsewhere.
Sell like you have £1,000,000 in the bank
That is an old saying. But something rings true in it. It's easier to sell effectively if you pretend there are no business pressures. For example, you won't make acts of desperation (like giving away valuable time), you won't take on projects you don't want, you won't waste time on proposals for projects you don't want, and you will confidently lead the client to success, rather than letting them take the reins.
I'll let you know how it pans out.
- Businesses suffer from the butterfly effect. Problems in one area of the business subtly ripple through to other areas. They're not always easy to spot.
- Sales pressure makes it easy to make bad decisions about your business.
- Cashflow problems can cause sales pressure.
- It makes it easy to say "Yes" too often. To take on too much work. To give away free time out of desperation to gain trust and land business.
- Causal loop diagrams are a good tool for focusing the mind and exploring issues
- It's best to pretend you have £1,000,000 in the bank when selling, but easier said than done.

Chi Rho
For Youth in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. Held at Camp Christian.
There are 3 options of dates for families to choose from for the Chi Rho Camps. It does not matter where you live or what Church you attend. You may register for whichever one fits best into your summer schedule. The week options for Chi Rho Camp are:
Chi Rho Camp Emmaus
Chi Rho Camp Corinth
Chi Rho Camp Damascus
Make Registration
Chi Rho Camp is geared to Jr. High/Middle School youth who have finished grades 6, 7, or 8. Their theme this year is The Holy Spirit. Through the study of the Bible in morning "Quest" Groups they seek out the Quest Truth for that day. Beginning each morning with cabin devotions they learn to begin each day with a look towards God and Jesus. The day ends with the whole camp gathered for a worship service and then a good night prayer we call the closing Chi Rho. The week ends with a special service known as consecration. Here each young person has on opportunity to make a private commitment to themselves about what they have experienced during the week and how they will carry the message forward. These "letters" to themselves are sent as a packet to the Local Church where youth leaders hand them back to them in late winter. All campers are invited to partake of the Lord's Supper during this service regardless of where they are on their faith journey.
Chi Rho Camp can be the best week of your life. You'll do more in one week than you ever thought possible. Experience serious times of worship, Bible Study, prayer, and discussion in our Quest Groups. Enjoy fun times of swimming in our two pools, fishing, games, singing, talent shows, and campfires. Make new friends which may last a lifetime. Grow in your Christian Faith.
Each day Chi Rho Campers gather in Quest Groups during the morning hours (groups of 8-12 campers learning by studying the scripture, crafts and games); in Morning Prayers by Cabin Groups each morning; and in Evening Prayers each evening as a whole camp. The week culminates in an inspirational Consecration Service on Friday evening.
Each week the camps are blessed with outstanding Christian pastors and lay persons as Assistant Directors, Counselors (cabin, table, Quest Group) who engage with the campers in study, prayer, recreation, etc., befriending young people in a way that has an impact on their lives for good. The program is blessed by the time, talent, treasure, and love extended so generously by these devoted volunteers.

The usage of solar on the Gold Coast to turn heat energy from the sun into electricity is the best way to save on resources and on your monthly power bills. It may not seem obvious but many people are now using solar-powered devices. These devices include road signs, calculators, buoys, call boxes and even sunglasses.
So how is solar energy converted into electricity? It uses solar cells, which is also known as the photovoltaic or PV cells, which are typically made from silicon, a semi-conductor. The semi-conductors absorb energy from the sun's UV rays, and once they are absorbed, it knocks loose the electrons. Electrical fields in PV cells pushes the electrons to flow freely and move in similar directions.
The uniform flow of the electrons is known as current, which is what is drawn to power up a device. To draw the current out, you need to place metal contacts on top and at the bottom of solar cells. Voltage and current imply the amount of power each solar cell can provide.
Certainly, a single solar cell can't provide much energy. To gather adequate energy from the sun, solar cells are packaged and connected into a frame known as the solar panel. A whole lot of these panels, known as the solar on the Gold Coast, is what is installed on your rooftops. Some may even be installed in huge buildings.
However, not many homeowners can enjoy the benefits of solar panel systems in their roofs. To have one, you need the right angle of inclination to capture the sun's UV rays. If there are trees that shade the rooftops, it can prove to be a hindrance with the solar power system. Hence, you need to ask an expert on how to go about the installation and make it work for you.
If you plan to be one of those having a solar revolution by using solar on the Gold Coast systems, ensure that you are working with a reputable company that knows every single detail about solar panel systems. Remember that it can cost a significant amount of money when you install these systems, so invest in a company that can really make things work and save you on expenses.

Alex Kanzler
Alex was fortunate to spend his childhood growing up among the idyllic vineyards and apple orchards of western Sonoma County. But when he headed off to the University of Colorado, Boulder after graduating from Sebastopol's Analy High School, he didn't really envision a career in the wine business. "I spent a lot of time in vineyards growing up," says Alex, who worked summers as a field hand in the vineyard crew that tended his family's Pinot Noir vineyard. "I learned how to plant and care for vines, but I wanted something different at the time." At school he majored in history and sociology and planned to be a teacher, but after graduation he quickly discovered that winemaking – and specifically Pinot Noir – was his passion. "My first harvest at Landmark Vineyards was just a way to earn some money, but it only took a few weeks of being in the winery before I was hooked."
After Landmark Alex was off to New Zealand to work the 2009 southern hemisphere harvest, landing in Central Otago with Pinot Noir specialist Carrick Wines. Next he traveled to Willamette Valley in Oregon to work the fall 2009 harvest with stellar Pinot Noir producer Domaine Serene. Returning to Sonoma County in 2010, Alex continued his career path by working in tasting rooms, studying viticulture & enology at Santa Rosa Junior College and completing a final internship under Shane Finley at Kosta-Browne Winery and Jemrose Vineyards. In 2011, Alex began working as a Cellar Assistant at Vinify Wine Services. While at Vinify, he was promoted to Assistant Winemaker of Jemrose, where he worked with winemaker Russell Bevan. Later that year, having worked hard, studied diligently, and learned his craft from some great mentors, his parents Stephen and Lynda were thrilled when Alex assumed the reins as winemaker for Kanzler Family Vineyards. Meanwhile, Alex continued working outside the family business. In 2012 he was lured to VML Russian River Winery by founder and Winemaker Virginia Lambrix to be their cellarmaster. Over the next two and a half years Alex and Ginny teamed up to craft VML wines as well as the wines of publically traded wine company Truett Hurst. During his time at VML Alex progressed from Cellar Master to Assistant Winemaker to Associate Winemaker. In August 2014, Alex resigned from VML/Truett-Hurst to focus exclusively on the family business.
Today, Alex and his wife Breauna live in the same home, on the same estate vineyard in the Sebastopol Hills where he grew up. In addition to making Kanzler wines and representing the winery at events and trade associations, Alex supervises farming operations for the family vineyards. "I never anticipated being a 'towny,' settling down to live in the same town and house where I grew up, says Alex. "But west Sonoma County is a truly special place. The vineyards here are world class. For a winemaker it doesn't get any better than to get up every day and look out over the vines as they work the miracle of converting sun and soil into the grapes that will become our wine. I feel very lucky to live here and make wine here and it's my privilege to share and preserve this place for the next generation."

In this type of referral program you can reward your customers immediately after they shared your promo message with the link to your website on one of the available channels with all their friends. InviteBox lets you prevent cheating as you can set minimum connections (Facebook friends, Twitter followers, etc.) a user must have in the social account they are using to post the message in order to receive the reward. If the user tries to share the referral message with an account that has less than specified number of connections they will see an error and the message won't be posted.
Let see how to setup your referral program with instant rewards.
First of all you'll need to choose instant reward campaign type from the list.
At this step you need to set the rules of your referral program and define how you are going to reward your participants. You can choose from this list of available instant reward options:
1) Unlock screen
In this mode InviteBox puts an overlay over the entire page that can only be lifted after the user has shared your link.
Use "unlock screen" mode if your reward is a text / graphic content represented by a web page.
2) Unlock page fragment
In this mode InviteBox covers a fragment of the page with a semi-transparent pane with "unlock" icon. After the user shares the link, the lock pane is lifted.
If your reward is access to an additional feature of a web application, "unlock page fragment" is a great option for providing visual clue that the access to this feature requires participating in the referral program.
Live example: http://invitebox-demos.weebly.com/unlock-page-fragment.html
To get an access to this block user should click on "lock" icon and share the message through one of the predefined channels.
3) Redirect to another page
The incentive given to the user might be access to a "secret" page on your website that is not linked anywhere. After sharing the message user would be redirected there.
Live example: http://invitebox-demos.weebly.com/redirect.html
4) Display variable (e.g. coupon code)
Display a code from a predefined list as a reward for sharing the message. This mode is most useful for giving out discount coupon codes though it's also suitable for things like software license keys, passwords, etc.
Upload an XLS file with a single column containing the codes. Every user eligible for reward will receive a unique code. Once the codes run out, the widget will stop displaying until you "refill" them.
Make sure that your store is ready to accept them.
5) File download
Use this mode if you want to reward the campaign participants with a digital product download, such as e-book, music track, video, etc.
6) Execute JavaScript code
If neither of the above options addresses your use case, you can implement the reward mechanics in your application and make InviteBox notify it that the user is eligible for a reward by invoking your JavaScript code.
Live example: http://invitebox-demos.weebly.com/execute-js.html
It's also possible to make InviteBox request additional information from your server and make it available to the JavaScript code. For example, when you want to create a new coupon for every user instead of giving the same one to everyone. See the APIs manual section for more details.
At this section you need to accomplish the following actions:
You are now one step away from getting your first referral! Put your referral program online by embedding InviteBox widget into a page (or pages) on your website. To do that, you need to select one of the available ways to present it and paste the code snippet below into your page source code. You could choose from the following integration options:
1) Popup mode
Here you can choose between showing your widget once to each unique visitor or to show widget every time visitor see the page with widget code. In the first case you can paste your widget script into the all pages of your website, so every site visitor can participate in your campaign.
2) Badge
Here you can change badge title and its position. Badge color will be always the same as your widget.
3) Default buttons
4) You could upload your own button or banner
5) Embed widget directly into the host page (without popup window)
6) Custom integration
Select this option if you want your application to determine when to show InviteBox widget and trigger it via JavaScript API.
When integration option is chosen you just need to insert widget script into the spot where you would like it to appear.
If we were not clear enough and you still have questions - feel free to drop us a line.

SEO Backlinks
SEO Backlink
Reciprocal Back LinksSo-called "reciprocal" links have a bad rap in so far as page rank is concerned. A reciprocal link is one in which sites trade links, often specifically as a means of improving page rank. Apparently, Google discounts so-called reciprocal links. This means that a page using reciprocal links would not benefit page rank.
The current Search Engine Optimisation wisdom is that Google favours so-called one-way links. As the name suggests these are links which point from one site to another site without any kind of reciprocal link.
Backlink Generator
Read my post on "Back linking" here: https://www.tonycordingley.co.uk/2018/11/backlinks-generator.html
There are other considerations about reciprocal links and back linking in general and those are, that any backlink or reciprocal link you make must obviously be visible to the search engines!
SEO Backlinks Checker
Therefore it is important to make a full list of all the backlinks and reciprocal links you create, in order for you to submit those links to the various search-engines.
One very useful tool for indexing backlinks quickly can be viewed here: http://backlinksindexer.ok2b1.com

Wish I could write songs about anything other than death
But I can't go to bed without drawing the red, shaving off
Each one so heavy, each one so cumbersome
Each one a lead weight hanging between my lungs
Spilling my guts Sweat on a microphone, breaking my voice
Whenever I'm alone with you, can't talk but "Isn't this weather nice?
Are you okay?" Should I go somewhere else and hide my face?

A marathon runner, my ankles are sprained

We've all been there: it's 5 PM, the office is starting to clear out, and you're sitting at your desk looking at your To-Do list for the day thinking, "Where did the time go?" and "Why didn't I get anything accomplished today?" and "Did I really just spend an hour discussing why Pluto should be a planet again?"
Nearly 50% of Americans say they spend at least some time working remotely. Sara Sutton Fell, CEO, and founder of FlexJobs, says "In most white-collar jobs, I'd say 99% of people are already working remotely in that they take work home".
Creating an experience on LinkedIn is critical to your career now more than ever. No matter which generation you are a part of, it is always important to put your best foot forward when representing yourself. Today, many first impressions are made on social media platforms. If you are job searching, networking, or growing your personal career, the first step is building your personal brand on LinkedIn.
As a former recruiter and professional resume reviewer, I've seen the gamut of how many different ways a resume can be written. The good, the bad, the wordy, the ambiguous, and the ineffective. With all the misinformation out there and with EVERYONE having an opinion on what makes a resume "POP", it's no wonder someone can be left scratching their head with their resume no better off then where they started.
During an interview you can assume you are being evaluated immediately on your appearance alone; this means those first 7 seconds in an interview are crucial. It's just human nature.
Applied Resource Group is here to help you make the best first impression possible and that starts with your outfit.
Welcome, Melanie Franklin, Allison Willis and Jeremy Schwartz to the ARG team! Melanie, Allie and Jeremy graduated from the University of Georgia – Terry College of Business.

Well I have. They are full of knowledge, experience, passion and workshop dates! Stacy Greene and Melissa Tellecamp are a resource provided by Cobb County School for parents. They provide Parent Programs and much more. Thank you ladies for your support. Next week there are two very important meetings; "Understanding the IEP Process" and "Parent Advocacy". Check out their calendar and flyers for more information and plan to attend these valuable meetings. Check out The Parent Mentor website HERE and look for a flyer in your child's backpack. For more, check out my Resources page.
Conference week is behind us, clocks turning back and Elves are planning for the holiday season.
With school conferences over, I hope your teacher gave you glowing remarks about your child. Along with the glowing remarks and words of encouragement might have been words of concern from your child's teacher. What to do next? This is the point when many parents do not know where to turn for advise. We want to feel that the school is doing all they can for our child. But, our mama and papa bear instincts might feel that we are the only ones qualified to understand what our child needs. True. Sometimes, we need to feel reassured and supported on the path we are about to take. We need to hear from other parents and professionals. That's why I wanted to create this Council. On this site you will find links to broad lists of professionals and workshops, books and resources. Use the Resources link at the bottom of the Welcome page. Take a look at the latest Parent to Parent of Georgia newsletter. Know that that other parents and caregivers have walked in similar shoes and can help. Your child will grow from your efforts in a way that will amaze you! Its a long wonderful and, sometimes hard, journey but well worth it.
Fall is finally here.
With fall comes this beautiful weather and all of it colors. Enjoy with your family. I will be at the fall festival at Ford next week. I hope you plan to come. It is a great time to reconnect with your parent network and meet your child's friends. See you there.
Didn't the school year just end? The summer just flew by. I hope you and your family enjoyed making memories this summer. Now that we are in the second week of school, Ford's students are settling into a new routines. A routine is something you do everyday. How you organize your day and get things done. Some of us will be attending Ford's Open House tonight where your child's teacher will discuss their classroom routine. Routine is important in the classroom for your child and the teachers' sanity. But, routines are important at home too. Your summer morning routine may have consisted of mommy sleeping until 8am while the kiddos watched Stampy and ate cereal, like my home. Now school days influence this routine. Why is routine important for your child? Routine makes your child feel safe and secure. Its predictable and thats a nice feeling for all of us. Routine can help your child develop new skills. If they know what is expected, they can learn to do this indepentantly. Routine reduces stress when your child is going through a difficult stage or experience. If your child takes medication regularly, routine will make it easier for both of you to remember. In short, routine can lower everyone's stress level. If you want more information about how to establish your own family routines and some helpful tools, follow this link. www.friendshipcircle.org/blog/2014/09/16/7-morning-sensory-tips-for-you-and-your-child-with-special-needs/
Sensory Friendly Skate night
When: Thursday March 24th 4-8pm. You're invited to a Ford Foundation spirit night!! Come enjoy a family skate night without all the flashing lights. Also, you can expect the music to be turned down. Kennesaw's own Sparkles Family Fun Center wants to accommidate those of us who might have chosen to avoid the crowded and loud scene. What a great way to benefit Ford Foundation and Ford Elementary School. Hope to see you there!
Leap Year
We forget how special a day can be when we are living it. Leap day will be here soon. Not to return for another 4 years. A special day. If you would like to plan a special day with your family take a look at the Event Calendar page for dates of sensory-friendly activities. NCG Cinemas and Sky Zone offer these days as often as monthly. You might wonder what sensory-friendly is at a movie, for example. In most cases it's just turning down the volume. In some, it can be the lights are turned up and flashing lights turned off. Here is a link to other places you might look into for your family's special day:11 Sensory Friendly Entertainment Options for Special Needs Families
Happy New Year
I hope all of our Ford Families were lucky to spend some quality time together over the Holidays. I know we all look forward to this break and to the fresh new start of a New Year.
If you did not a chance to see Emily Rubin, the Education Outreach Specialist from Atlanta's Marcus Autism Center speak on Monday the 11th, you can Contact the Marcus Center's website for future dates. Also, the Cobb County Teaching and Learning Support and Specialized Services can assist you with what the Marcus Center and Cobb County schools have to offer our children.
Great news! There is a new camp in Georgia. Grammy Award winning artist, Zac Brown, has opened Camp Southern Ground in Peachtree City. They have great stuff for children of ALL abilities. Save the link as you plan for the coming year.
I hope that many of you have taken advantage of the Parenting with Love and Logic Class offered by the counseling staff each Friday. Its not too late. Classes started October 16th. The last class is Friday November 20th. RSVP to the counselors if you plan to attend. What a treasure to have this offered to out parent for free! It also a great place to meet parents. Thank you Mandy Ruddell and Linda Charrette. In the future; plan to attend the Emily Rubin event in January. I have attended this before and you will leave inspired. More information can be found here.
I am thankful for a happy and healthy family as we enter into the holiday season. I hope you are too.

If you are interested in commissioning a custom piece from McKenzie please read this information below to see if something one of a kind is right for you!
***Please do not contact us about a custom project unless you are absolutely ready to proceed. Designing these pieces takes a lot of time.
To get started on a custom piece, McKenzie needs to know just a little more about what you are wanting to have created.
Don't worry about knowing exactly what you want the design to look like, She is here to help with that.
The first design phase will consist of 4 pieces for you from information you have provided. After this, up to three design revisions may happen to make sure you will be getting a piece you love. When you choose a design you like, a deposit for half of the project is due. This deposit secures your completion date and purchases your materials for production.
Here is a list of things that McKenzie likes to know about before she begins.
If you live in Central Oregon, please set up an appointment to meet with McKenzie at her studio. In person meetings are preferred.
Due to the high volume of custom inquiries, a first come first serve basis is set. Normally 3 to 4 months from finished design to completed piece is required.
Custom pieces start at a minimum of $350. Your overall budget is always considered when designing.

To fight against noise pollution and its effects on our health, DeNoize incubated in Mines Saint-Étienne offers a solution: a "mute" window. Connected, it would be able to analyze the outside sound to adapt to it, and counter it. Its founders, Olivier Schevin and Aman Jindal, were present at CES in Las Vegas from 7 to 10 January to exhibit it.
Double glazing increases thermal insulation, but for the noise it's another matter. When we are inside, at home or at the office, the vast majority of the noise that reaches us from the exterior goes through the windows. It's a situation particularly annoying for people living or working near airports or major highways. Reducing this noise pollution, harmful to our health, is a mission that Olivier Schevin and Aman Jindal have taken on since May 2018. This start-up , incubated at Mines Saint-Étienne, offers a solution to improve the soundproofing of windows. "Our challenge now "says Olivier Schevin, co-founder, "is miniaturization of the system to integrate it on the frameworks of Windows". The concept, which they presented at the CES of LasVegas January 7-10 within the IMT delegation, could integrate easily on standard windows offered today.
The problem of double glazing
"Double glazing is actually less effective in terms of insulation than single glazing, for the same thickness of glass "Said Olivier Schevin. Although it may seem counter intuitive, double glazing offers less resistance to low frequencies – between 50 and 500 Hz. A frequency band that is found to be the main nuisance caused by airports and Main highways. "The double glazing has been designed to meet a thermal insulation problem, but the acoustic aspect was not taken into account "he specifies.
Double glazing is above all two masses, two panes, with
air or gas between them. This structure is problematic on an acoustic level: the air blocked between the panes allow in resonance, and the noise propagates. To counter this effect, it is now possible to increase the thickness of the windows, or the gap between the two panes. This passive reduction gives a heavy rendering for architecture and is very expensive.
Sound strikes back
The DeNoize innovation is to use sound against itself,
it is an active noise reduction."We will generate a counter-vibration adapted to the vibration of the noisy exterior in the window" explains Olivier Schevin. "The system produces a vibration opposite to that of the nuisance, creating interference". Vibrations "cancel out" the noise, reducing up to 75% of the noise transmitted at low frequencies. "This technology is somewhat similar to that of active noise cancelling headphones" adds Olivier Schevin. "The technical difference is the surface of the area you want to treat. For headphones, the area is very small and close to the ear." The system developed by DeNoize uses sensors to analyze external noise in real time and adapt to it. The actuators produce the counter vibration interfering with the original noise. We must also take into account a unit control, an electronic card in charge of determining the most effective actions of sensors and actuators. Everything is integrated into the window frames. This then implies a nearby electrical connection to provide power to the system. Which is already common in electric roller shutters for example. An innovation that aligns with the evolutions of the smart home .
This exchange between the actuators, sensors and the control unit offers the possibility of a tailor-made reduction in real time, adapted to external variations."Today we have a functional prototype" specifies Olivier Schevin,"but the system does not calculate in real time yet. To do this, a phase of development is yet to come at an electronics level."
Olivier Schevin just launched an industrial project with the students of Mines Saint-Étienne to develop a prototype that cancels the noice in real time. They will be focussing on the electronics part of the tech. This because the existing lab electronics are way to big to be integrated into window frames.
"In general, we continue to look for ways to improve the performance at the lowest possible cost."

Primetime Ratings: Reality Reigns In Tuesday Ratings
Reality ruled as usual on the final Tuesday of television's summer season, with Fox's Hell's Kitchen, NBC's America's Got Talent and CBS' Big Brother all clicking. Brother drew its largest overall audience on any night this summer.
According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, NBC scored a narrow demo victory on the night -- and won easily in total viewers -- behind its two-hour performance episode of America's Got Talent (3.2 rating/9 share in adults 18-49, 12.5 million viewers overall), which was in line with its recent deliveries. The Peacock net also did decently at 8 p.m. with an encore of the previous week's Talent (1.5/5 in 18-49, 6.3 million viewers overall).
Fox, a close second in 18-49 and the night's leader in younger categories, dominated as usual at 8 p.m. with Hell's Kitchen (3.2/11 in 18-49, 7.2 million viewers overall) and was up a tick at 9 p.m. with first-year unscripted series More to Love (1.8/5 in 18-49, 4.1 million viewers overall).

Why Self Build, Extend or Renovate in London?
The 620 square miles of Greater London are ten times more densely populated than the rest of the UK, and are home to some 8.5 million people. With amazing cultural diversity, great transport links and fantastic employment opportunities, it's no surprise that house prices in London are some of the highest in the world.
London can boast the largest number of resident billionaires of any city in the world, so property doesn't come cheap. You can expect to pay £12,671/m2 for a home in Camden and £10,718/m2 for a pied a terre in Hammersmith.
Stamp duty is also a major reason why it's not altogether surprising that many Londoners choose to extend and renovate their homes rather than move. After-all, even the most luxurious home extensions or basement extensions cost a fraction of this amount to build!
CLPM have helped dozens of clients in London to extend and renovate their homes and we can help you too!

This is the fourth do-over for this blog tonight. Four ideas that only got so far before they fizzled. Before I got frustrated. Before I almost quit.
It probably didn't help that my evening was broken up by a phone call from my daughter in Calgary. She made it back yesterday after having two weeks at home between semesters, but could only move into residence today. Even though she was already living in residence, for spring session they downsize all the students into one area, so everything had to be packed up, driven across campus, and unpacked again. Not fun.
Plus, starting over is hard.
Even if you have been there before, there is always the stress of the unknown. New classes. New roommates. New room. And no matter how old you are, taking on something new isn't easy.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand that when I'm convincing my daughter to embrace, not fear, change. I love change. I love working through the problem-solving aspect of a new situation or sport or instrument. It's exciting. It's not that I get bored easily, but every once in a while I need to feel the challenge of a new experience, which is why teaching is such a perfect fit. Every year we have new students, new colleagues, new courses, new strategies, new, new, new. We are in the change business, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
But for someone who, as a little girl, stressed over the countdown to Christmas, the scary-mystery of wrapped presents, the fear that Santa might not come, and a myriad of other holiday anxieties, it's not easy for her. So we talked about growth mindset. Again. Because that takes practice…to know that you will learn something new in that stats class….to know it's okay to ask for help early and often…to know that new friends will be made…to know that challenges make us stronger and more resilient…to look for that silver lining in every one of these new experiences.
Point by point.
And the fear dissipates.
It's easy to forget that if we haven't pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones for a while. It's a good feeling to remember, especially when we work with students, because that is their lived experience. Actually, they don't have much experience, which is why everything we ask of them can feel new. And uncomfortable. And scary.
We are often trying something new to the kids in the classroom. This past week, it was playing a lot with poetry forms, like blackout poetry and book spine poetry. These are hard for my rule-followers and perfectionists as there isn't one hard and fast way of creating them. It requires creativity and experimenting and letting go. For some kids, the fact that there isn't a right/wrong answer here, or a single way of doing it, is hard…the paradox of choice paralyzing. I do a fair amount of talking kids up there too. Modelling and sharing.
But they all did it. Most exciting for me was seeing their pride as we shared pictures of our book spine poems in class, and seeing other students stop and check out the blackout poems on the bulletin boards in the hallways. (Kids. Stopping to read poetry. Yah it happened.) It's when you get past the fear, that something awesome can happen.
We all need these reminders. I almost quit on this tonight. I thought I'd given all my positivity away in my phone conversation. I wasn't sure I could find anything to write, yet here we are, and it's not even midnight! Silver lining lol.
As we go into a new week, no 'almosts' allowed: embrace whatever comes your way, with the best mindset you can give it.

Light Of Darkness
I trained my soul for the lies ahead,
I saved my time for the new dawn.
I tried to decipher life using light,
I tried to purge my soul with light,
But strange as it may sound
The light didn't heal my soul.
Do I know how to use the light?
If not, how can I reform my ways?
I craved for some knowledge.
Teach me how to use the light, I cried.
All that came was an echo,
None heard my cry.
I wondered why I wasn't able to use the light,
Everyone knew it, but why can't I?
My patience drained out of me,
But my will kept me on,
I tried to crawl into the light.
But then I asked myself.

Mask Of Fear
They say that fear is dreadful.
They say that fear destroys us.
They say that fear induces only pain.
They say that fear is horrifying.
These are what they say,
But I tell you,
All these are just the outer mask of fear.
A society is disciplined. Why?
'cause we fear the law.
A child listens to his elders.
'cause he fears them.
You listen to your loved ones.
But of course,
People would disagree that fear is responsible for it.
They say it's the power of love,
They say it's coz of our love for them.

Mask Of Future
Dreams weren't farfetched for me
Life wasn't bad for me
I got everything I wanted,
Power and ability, and even opportunity
But I ignored something unknown.
I got an opportunity,
But I did not complete my wish.
I did not misuse my opportunity,
But this world has a sequence.
A flow which we all follow
Something I failed to do.
I used my powers at the wrong time.
I stepped into higher steps ignoring the lower ones.
But I failed to realize something,
I failed to realize that everything required a basement.
A basement on which it can stand.
A power on which it can function.
