I want to see who has edited in my area recently, and what they've changed. How can I do that?

meta @SimonPoole: closing a question does not help in any way to make its answers more current - to the contrary. Reopened. Yes, old questions and answers for still current topics are a problem, but we don't solve it by closing. Let's discuss over there.

[This answer is of historic interest only]
There are a few different ways to see the who has been editing in your area recently.
The first method is to use the "History" tab on the OpenStreetMap website. Zoom into the area that you're interested in and click the "History" tab. This will show you all the changesets that have covered your area. The problem is that some changesets cover a huge area and so aren't relevant.
The second method is to try the OSM Watch List (OWL) at http://matt.dev.openstreetmap.org/owl_viewer/ (Note: is there any documentation for how to use this?). You can use this to get an RSS/ATOM feed for areas that you are interested in, and it updates every minute so you can see changes straight away.
Third, there is a tool from ITO World called OSM Mapper. If you sign up to it you can see maps of the areas, and do things like colour-code by how recently it changed or by who worked in that area. It only covers ways though, not nodes or relation changes.

The History tab would be much more useful if it had a tick box to limit it to local changesets, or at least just hide the "(big)" changesets. As it is now it is pretty much useless.
(13 Jul '10, 13:13) GrahamS
The plan is to use OWL to drive the history tab so that it does only show changesets which really change that area.
(14 Jul '10, 14:39) TomH ♦♦
"Hide the '(big)' changesets suggestion" comes up a lot GrahamS. This question specifically talks about it: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/3983/how-do-you-display-only-local-edits-in-the-changelog/3985 My answer is kind of duplicate of this one here though...
But incidentally Andy could add a new option to his answer here: "ITO Map" is from the same company as "OSM Mapper" but different: http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/ It has the option to show 'recent edits in the past 7 days' or 90 days on a normal worldwide slippy map, to get a simple overview of recent activity.

You can find a list of services to see what has been changed or added to the data for a certain area at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Change_monitoring

Older tools vanish, new tools come, it may be best to just explore this list. Currently I often use Whodidit.

If you see that a particular item has changed, you can also use Potlatch 1's 'History' function to find out who changed it and when. Open Potlatch 1 (hover over the 'edit' tab until a menu appears); select the way or point in question; and press 'H' for history (or click the ID in the bottom left). In the window that opens, you'll see a drop-down list of who edited it and when.

It's perhaps worth mentioning that Potlatch 1 is still available as an editor, even though it's not in the drop-down list - select "Potlatch 2" and remove the "2" from the URL.
(02 Jan '17, 16:39) SomeoneElse ♦
In JOSM you will use the history dialog : http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Dialog/History - it displays those objects from the current selection for which a history of object versions can be retrieved from the OSM server. It is quite a comprehensive display

A corrupt immigration officer has been jailed for attempting to use her position of power for financial gain from an Indian national who was due to be removed from the UK.
Jaspreet Kaur (41-year-old from Romford) was sentenced three years and-nine months after she admitted to demanding £2,500 from a potential deportee.
The falsely told him that she had "pulled strings" to have him released from Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre in March 2017.
When Jaspreet was arrested in July 2017 with recording of the conversations he admitted it was her voice, before lying and trying to claim she had been threatened by the man.

A Brief History of Walnut
It started with a musket. And it changed our world. Circa 1774, colonial militias rose up against tyranny and triumphed. Against their shoulders were walnut gunstocks, part of the muskets that would help win the American Revolution. A close-grained wood, walnut rarely splintered or chipped. And its water resistance prevented warping as it was honed into shape. For that reason, the era's lumberers reserved this wood for gunmakers. When the British required colonists to surrender the firearms, we refused. And the independent militia was born. These "minutemen" learned to fire in formation, taking down a full battalion of enemies at a single shot.

September 1916 - April 2004
Ed Goldberg's original license call was W5BFY, issued in 1932, QTH Dallas, Texas. An interim call was W3IZH issued when he began his 41 year career at RCA in Camden, NJ, and had moved to Haddon Heights, NJ in 1940. W3IZH was reissued as W2UAS when NJ was redesignated in the W2 Call district. He held a Class A license from 1933 until after WWII when Class A, which enjoyed full privileges, was replaced by the present Advanced Class, and the extra class was reintroduced.
NEW BERN click here for more info on Ed
Several years before he died, Ed told me that he had a transmitter that he had built many years ago, and knowing my interest in old tube-type gear, he said he thought I might like to have it. I heartily agreed, but we never spoke of it again. He must have mentioned it to his wife, as she made contact with me recently, a year after his death, and said she had found some old radio gear, and knew that Ed had offered it to me. She said, "bring help, it's heavy." I was thrilled at the news, and went over to her house with another local ham to see just what she had, and to remove some antennas and coax for her.
The first item that she took us to, up in the attic, was an RCA AR-77 receiver. I could see that one of the front panel controls had add-on labels which read "USB" and "LSB", so I knew that Ed had used the receiver, at least somewhat, long after it had been built (1940-42), and perhaps he had made some modifications. Mrs. Goldberg then said she had some tubes, and another wooden box in the garage. I carried the receiver downstairs, and we checked the garage. We found 2 wooden packing crates made long ago, to hold his old transmitter and it's power supply.
The next day I opened the crates, inspect the contents, and was surprised to find all that was needed to get a CW transmitter capable of about 100 watts on the air on 80, 40, and 20 meters. Several crystals were included, coil sets for each band, and the proper tubes, all in separate boxes. I took some "as found" pix, and then cleaned up the transmitter chassis to ready it for pix with tubes and coils in place. It uses a 6L6 oscillator, 807 buffer/multiplier, and a 35T final tube. It appears after a quick search of old publications, that it may have been built from a combination of several articles in the 1937 edition of the Frank C. Jones Radio Handbook, a classic work.
"before" pix, showing both the transmitter and power supply, plus the packing crates they had been in for many years.
pix after cleaning and installation of tubes and coils. Some further inspection and minimal repairs will be necessary before it is ready to get on the air. The power supply will be a somewhat larger project, as much of the insulation on wiring is fragile, and it puts out over 1000 volts DC. The AR-77 receiver will also be a larger project. Today is May 25, 2005.
from The New Bern Sun Journal, 4/9/04
NEW BERN -- Edwin Allen Goldberg passed away Tuesday night, April 6, 2004, at Craven Regional Medical Center.
He was born in Dallas, Texas, on September 13, 1916 and earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Texas. He lived in Princeton, N.J., and moved to New Bern, NC, after retiring from RCA.
Mr. Goldberg worked for RCA for more than 40 years. Among his many accomplishments, he earned 28 patents, was instrumental in the development of color television and analog computer design, and was Project Manager for Tiros I, the first weather satellite, and Engineering Manager of Communications Satellite Projects.
While living in Fairfield Harbour in New Bern he was been an active member of the New Bern Amateur Radio Club and the Computer Club.
The memorial service will be held at Centenary Methodist Church on Monday, April 12, at 2 p.m. in the afternoon.
Mr. Goldberg is survived by his wife of over 61 years, Katherine; his children, Katherine Harris of Richmond, Va., and Martin Goldberg of Lawrenceville, N.J. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Heather Wright of Richmond, Ky., Tiffany Harris of Urbana, Ill., Steven Goldberg of Lawrenceville, N.J., and Andrew Goldberg of Lawrenceville, N.J. He is also survived by his great granddaughter, Haley Wright of Richmond, Ky.
In lieu of flowers, the family gratefully suggests contributions to the Bridgeton Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 602, Bridgeton, NC 28519 or to the organ fund of the Centenary Methodist Church, P.O. Box 1388, New Bern, NC 28563.

No marvel there is not even time to find out about these equipment and the way our love-life with them has been affecting and is regularly affecting and effecting us in perpetuity and very "deeply" Man has turn out to be incapable of noticing these effects and affects as a result of the overwhelming reproductions of the brand new applied sciences and techniques have enveloped all his sensory patterns and existential realities.
All Entry Pass is a three hour block adult pay per view package with 6 channels for one lower price $14.99 is accessible in DirecTV whereas Dish Community delivers Adult Showcase pay per view package deal that also delivers three hour block grownup pay per view bundle with 6 channels for $17.ninety nine.

There is nothing I like better than a good hot cup of coffee on beautiful, cool morning, but a creamy and delicious glass of iced coffee on a hot summer afternoon comes in at a close second. Enjoying a tall glass of this refreshing drink brings back special memories of sweet friends. I first learned of iced coffee and how to make it back in my college days when I visited the home of a college buddy. It was a hot trip and after a carload of college girls unloaded, her mother showed us great hospitality, making us feel welcome and joining in our fun fellowship. This recipe is so easy, takes only minutes, and the ingredients can always be kept handy for unexpected guests.
To make iced coffee you will need:
- Ice Cubes (or frozen coffee cubes)
- Coffee (already brewed or instant coffee mixed with hot water)
- Milk (or cream, flavored creamer or half 'n half )
- Sweetener of choice or flavored syrup (optional)
1. Fill glass with frozen coffee cubes or ice cubes.
2. Pour coffee into glass, filling approximately half way.
3. Finish filling glass with milk or creamer.
4. Stir well and serve up with your favorite cookies!
Notes: For sweet iced coffee, add sweetener of choice or flavored syrup to coffee and stir well before pouring over ice cubes.
Pour the last of your morning coffee pot into ice cube trays and freeze, using these frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes. This keeps your iced coffee from getting watered down as the ice melts.
How do you like your coffee? Hot or cold? Black or sweet?

Are you missing important movement vitamins?
I recently read–and loved the crap out of–a book called Movement Matters by biomechanist Katy Bowman. When you're done with this post, I highly recommend:
- Checking out her books.
- Checking out her blog and her podcast. (Bonus: Listening to the podcast while you move.)
- Checking out her videos. I bought Nutritious Movement for a Healthy Pelvis and it's fab-u-lous.
But first, let's talk about movement vitamins, a phrase I picked up from Bowman. Most of us are familiar with the idea of eating a variety of foods as a way to increase our chances of getting the diversity of macronutrients and the vitamins and minerals we need. If you only eat bananas, your body would be very sad. And by "sad" I mean "totally deficient in a whole bunch of super important nutrients that support life."
In the same way, it's possible to have a movement diet that is higher or lower on the diversity scale. Many of us think about movement mainly in the context of exercise (and possibly in the context of feeling bad that we're not getting enough). So, as long as we're hitting the gym a few times a week for an hour, or whatever our personal goal is, we can check movement off our list.
Bowman brings up two ideas that turn this thinking on its head. One, if you look at how much "couch potatoes" move versus how much regular exercisers move as a percentage of total time in a week, the numbers aren't that different. Even if you're working out an hour every single day, that's still only 4% of your week spent moving.
And two, when we do work out we often stick to the same things. For me, that's usually yoga and hiking. For you it might be biking. Or swimming. Or treadmilling. The point is, when we engage in pretty predictable movements, we're moving pretty predictable parts of our body in pretty predictable ways, and this can lead to areas of our body that are rarely, if ever, moved.
Movement is a requirement for health, even down to the cellular level, so if, for example, you wear shoes that allow for very little foot movement, you now have areas of your foot–specific joints, for example, of which your foot has many–that pretty much never move. Same is true even if you're walking around barefoot but you're always walking on, say, asphalt or flat trails.
The point is, just like we can't survive on a diet of bananas, our bodies need a diversity of movement, and all of the parts of our body, not just the predictable chunks, like our abs or our biceps, need a wide range of movement.
Now, when I learned this my first reaction was, well, hell—what's the point of exercising then? After my temper tantrum had run its course, though, I realized that there are many reasons to continue exercising (it feels great, I can do it with people I love and build community while I move, etc), and just as importantly, getting more movement vitamins doesn't mean not exercising. It simply means looking at my entire day as an opportunity to move, not just the hour I spend in yoga class.
For example, I can squat while I read a blog post instead of sitting at my desk, I can do a silly walk around my apartment while I brush my teeth, I can climb a tree while I'm out hiking, I can hang from the monkey bars at the park–in short, I can consciously inject a variety of movements into my daily routine, in the same way that I consciously choose to eat more foods besides bananas.
I want to leave you with two takeaways:
- A blog post from Bowman, "13 Ways to Make Your Walk More Nutritious" that will help you up your movement diversity in simple ways.
- A super short (less than two minutes) video from Tom Myers, one of my bodywork idols, about the importance of varied movement:

January. As months of the year go, it gets a pretty bad rap. December is filled with glitz, glamour and gifts, April heralds the start of spring and sunshine (not in Scotland but we can dream) and even boring old November gets fireworks! But dismal January has weight gain, hibernation, dreaded credit card statements and a nationwide pledge to ditch alcohol (who came up with that?!). However, it's not all bad is it? The beginning of a new year and what's not to love about a fresh start? The days start to get lighter, it should get warmer and shops have started selling Easter eggs. There *is* light (and chocolate) at the end of the tunnel.
While 90% of the population was snuggled up watching You on Netflix, we started the year with a bang here at Sock HQ! Sharing images of our new collection on Instagram (follow us @houseofcheviot) during AW18 created a buzz amongst our customer base which is reflected in our forward order intake since returning from holiday.
We officially launched our new collections last week while attending two trade shows. Our MD James was at BETA International in Birmingham while Ann and I enjoyed a few days in Glasgow at Scotland's Trade Fair. Throughout the 3 days at the SECC many orders were placed (a trade show record for us), there was a steady stream of new enquiries and positive feedback from existing customers. The highlight of the show (apart from the free ice cream, more on that later) is meeting our lovely customers. We have a diverse range of customers from many different countries around the world so it's nice to catch up. The dreaded 'B' word didn't come up too often either…
It was great looking around to see what else Scotland has to offer; quintessential Scottish products, weird and wonderful gifts and tasty treats to try. The food hall was a favourite of mine – with an abundance of delicious samples to try it gave me an instant mid-afternoon pick-me-up. A special thank you to Stewart Tower Dairy who kept my sugar levels topped up by allowing me to work my way through their many flavours – I highly recommend the mint choc chip.
Overall, the show was a huge success and James enjoyed a positive 3 days in Birmingham. Being out of the office was good but I'm enjoying being back at my desk – I don't think my waistline could cope with another few days in Glasgow…
As January comes to an end we look forward to new challenges and exciting product plans in February – watch this space! One last thing… did you make a New Year's resolution? Every year we make the same promise; to provide our customers with the world's best country and kilt socks with customer service to match. A resolution that won't be broken.

A very big thank you to Tamara from The Epileptic Blogger for tagging me. This is such a fun tag although I am so behind in getting it written up! better late than never right… So lets get straight into it.
Tag: Tag
5 Funny Little Things Tag.
Hello and thank you for popping by! I have been tagged by the lovely Tamara from The Epileptic Blogger to take part in the 5 funny little things tag!
Becoming a parent, completely life altering, one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences, which brings tears, laughter and teaches you a love like no other. The 5 little funny things tag celebrates the smiles and laughter our little ones bring and I'm sharing 5 little funny things about little monkey, so here goes…
Freya never fails to make me smile no matter what she's such a little character and there are many funny things that she does, some that make us giggle and others that make us full on belly laugh! But here are my current top 5!
1. The first involves shoes! Freya is very fond of shoes and has been since her very first visit to Clarks when her very first pair of pretty pink shoes were purchased. I can't help but giggle when she steps into mine or Luke's shoes and waddles around the house looking very happy with herself, big smile on her face. Lately If we're heading out for a supermarket shop she'll excitedly say "Tesco" I'll ask her what we're buying and her answer is always "shoeeees" it's so funny and super cute.
2. Little one absolutely loves to get involved and help out with household jobs (I'm sure that will change as she gets older) and will always be on hand saying "I come to" ready to lend a little hand! Recently she insisted on helping her Dada put together some furniture together with her very own screwdriver! One of her other favourite things to help with is the washing! And there's always plenty to do! If I'm in the kitchen she'll now stand by the washing machine and say "get washing out" it may take a little longer but it does make me giggle.
3. Another thing little monkey loves .. hats! It's all about the accessories and she has been known to walk around the house in her bobble hat no matter the weather refusing to take it off! Other headwear choices has included nappies, a McDonald's happy meal box and buckets!
4. Little monkey loves story time and we do have a few favourites including Peace at last and We're going on a bear hunt! She'll get comfy with her milk before bedtime and has now started to join in, reading along, repeating words and copying funny noises, its adorable and makes us all giggle.
5. Her mischievous little ways are always making us laugh, she can be very cuddly and loves to snuggle and then she'll honk our noses (with sound effect) tickle and maybe even lick our face haha! You can't help but smile at her cheeky little laugh whilst she's tickling your feet and giggle (whilst trying to be serious) at her cheeky smile when she's doing something she really knows she shouldn't! She is so very loving and forever making us laugh and they are such wonderful moments, priceless! There's so much more I can add to this list but for now I'll leave it there.
I would like to tag the following wonderful bloggers to share 5 funny little things about their little ones …
The Liebster Award Tag
Hello everyone, hope you are all well! I've finally got around to posting my Liebster award tag, a great get to know you style tag for bloggers to take part in and learn more about each other.
I was nominated by the lovely Joanna Marcini, you can find her on twitter @joannamarcini and her beautiful travel and lifestyle blog at www.joannamarcini.com
1. Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has asked you.
2. Nominate 11 other bloggers (with under 200 followers)
3. Ask your nominees 11 questions.
4. Let them know you nominated them!
Now I will admit I found it hard to stick to nominating only those with under 200 followers and a few of my nominees do have more, I recently read @waldorf_dreams (http://www.waldorf-dreams.com) Liebster tag post and agree that it's more about the person rather than the numbers right? Find My list of nominees below my answers.
Here are my answers to Joanna's questions:
1. Out of all the countries you have visited, which one did you like the most?
Good question! To be honest I haven't visited all that many (I have quite a big travel wish list though) but out of those I have visited I'd have to say that Barbados is my fave! It's so very beautiful with lots to explore and I'd love to go and spend some more time there.
2. What is the most extreme thing you have ever done?
Can I say labour? … I'm going to say labour! Becoming a parent is definitely the most extreme as it changes your whole life, it's also the most amazing, most challenging, most rewarding and most precious thing.
3. If you could only take 1 more trip, where would you go?
Hmm.. I think it would have to be New York City. It's right up there on my travel wish list, I just find it fascinating and would love to experience the city that never sleeps, as Alicia Keys says it's where dreams are made of!
4. Would you rather explore the deep ocean or outer space?
Wow that's quite difficult as both are so full of mystery and to do either would be absolutely fantastic… I'm not a great swimmer sooo that may swing it for outer space!
5. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
My daughter, my fiancé and my whole family, they are my world and I don't know what I would do without them. They are my purpose, my motivation, my Everything and have stood by me through so much. There is so much in my life that I'm grateful for, having a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes on my back, health and tea! I am a tea fiend.
6. Beach or mountains?
7. What is the last book you read?
I love to read! The last book I read was Happy mum, Happy baby by the lovely Giovanni Fletcher.
8. If you could change anything in your life what would it be?
I wish I didn't worry quite so much and had a little more self confidence, I wish at times that I wouldn't let my anxiety get the better of me quite so much.
9. Three things that make you smile?
My daughter, no matter what she always finds a way of making me smile, Family days out, you can't beat that quality family time and a hot cuppa!
10. Have you ever been in love?
I'm marrying the love of my life next year, Luke and I have been together for just over 10 years and I can't wait to finally become his wife.
11. Best advice for new bloggers?
I've only been blogging for just over 2 months now so I'm still very new to it but I suppose when I first started I may have got a little overwhelmed about the need to post regularly, I'd say ease your way into a schedule that suits you and just enjoy it!

In my professional life, being a realtor is what I love the most. I've worked as a realtor for the last 23 years and I feel that my experience allows me to help clients with one of the most significant purchases of their lives.
Born and raised in the Toronto area, I've happily made London, Ont my home since 1993. I've been with Sutton Group for over a decade and I'm fortunate to have wonderful support staff who assist and handle key details that allow me to focus on YOU!
I have received many awards for sales achievements and although it's nice to be recognized for my efforts, the best rewards come when a past client refers me, or they have me over to their home to show me how they've settled in, or better yet when we develop a friendship.
What sets me apart from another realtor is not the volume of sales or the level of commissions- it's the fact that I value your business and I respect your trust in me and I will be there for you to answer questions and help to find you and your family find the property that you will ultimately make, a home.

EvanescenceOrigin (2000)
Текст песни с переводом слов Evanescence «Even in death» из альбома «Origin» (2000).
Even in death
Give me a reason to believe
that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know
they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me
but now I'm taking you home
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love,
Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side,
Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever.
Evanescence - все тексты песен исполнителя (группы).

The Nurse Committee ran a survey into how well nurses felt they were utilised within practice...
The IVC Evidensia Nurse committee ran a survey into how well nurses felt they were utilised within practice. The survey findings have been published in the Vet and VN Times (Feb 2016). This survey was initially open to IVC Evidensia nurses but has since been opened to all nurses nationally and delivered some interesting results. The nurse committee are using the information from the results of the survey to help improve the working lives of all the nurses within the IVC group. If you would like more information on the survey results, please contact Jane - email@example.com.
As part of the nurse committee, Nicola and Gemma have also created a guideline for utilising nurses to their full potential. Please contact Sam or Kim (see below) if you would like more details on how to get a copy of this or minutes from our latest committee meeting.
If you would like to know more about the nurse committee, please contact:

This is my snow castle that my neighbours and I made. There name's are Amanda and Campbell. We used buckets and shovels. We made the castle and it was three layers high. We added three layers more and I couldn't stand on it. It is still standing at the moment. My Dad said it will be there for a long time.

Explore Opportunities
Take chances — get involved
Do you want to learn beyond the classroom and grasp every opportunity you can while at UW-Eau Claire? Participating in research, being a part of a student organization or having an internship allows you to do just that. With different opportunities bursting at the seams here, we're excited to help lead you on the path towards involvement. You will find your experiences to be life-changing, priceless and worth every minute.
The encouragement and support from professors within political science builds strong relationships which not only last beyond the end of an undergraduate career, but provide valuable opportunities—such as student-faculty collaborative research, independent study, as well as presenting at the Midwest Political Science Association—which encourages continued learning and builds those analytical and creative skills which make our students strong candidates for both graduate studies and their respective choice of career.

Nepal's leg spinner Sandeep Lamichhane picked up three wickets helping Western Suburbs U-21 win their match against North Sydney U-21 at their home grounds on Sunday.
At the North Sydney grounds, Sandeep took 3-33 from 10 overs keeping a maiden as the hosts were bundled out for 172 all out. Western Suburbs reached 177-6 to file a convincing six-wicket victory.
Sandeep was playing his third match for the Western Suburbs and first with the U-21 team of the Sydney-based club. He previously played for the senior side of the Wests, also knows as Magpies, impressing in the debut game against Mosman where he took 1-17 from eight overs though remained wicket-less in his second match against Randwick Petersham.
Australia's 2015 World Cup winning captain Michael Clarke has taken Sandeep to Australia to train at his Michael Clarke Cricket Academy and play Australian Grade Cricket for the Magpies.
Clarke was impressed by Sandeep's exceptional bowling skills when the two played for Kowloon Cantons in the Hong Kong Twenty20 Blitz that took place in May last year. ( Watch what Clarke had to say about Sandeep and his bowling performance.)

Well I think your designs are definitely "cost worthy" your amazingly talented and you could really make a business out of it...so I say you could totally do if but it might limit how many people you get that want to pay for a design. I know that some professional blogs pay good money for a good design but some smaller bloggers don't have money to pay for a design....so I don't know. Your totally talented enough! You just might not get as many orders.ReplyDelete
Your designs are defiantly worth it! :} And if I had the money I would! But I usually don't.. O.oReplyDelete
So you could charge for a design! You probably wouldn't get as many costumers, but you probably would still get a fair amount! :)
xxx. Kayla
I feel like those who don't have the money or a credit card won't be able to have one of your blog designs, even if they really like it. But your designs are really great though.ReplyDelete
I agree, I bet people would totally pay for you designs! It is nice that they are free, and I think more people would get designs for free, but still I think people would pay for them too. I personaly think that it is amazing that they are free, cause they are incredible!ReplyDelete
So yeah, that's what I think...Replies
Well, now that I think about it more, I think it would be better if you had them for free, cause than you would get more orders, and be able to spend more time doing what you love. You designs are defiantly worth paying for but, if they're free, people with less money could order.Delete
Was I your 100th blog design? :D That's so cool!ReplyDelete
And I have read all the previous comments and come to the conclusion that: Your design are worth paying for, but that's best part. Your talents are helping others since you are not charging. So I suppose you could charge, but for those who have been totally drowned in hopelessness for a blog design, your free designs are the life savers.
Here's an idea: Why don't you let super simple/premade templates be available for free? And let custom/detailed designs be charged a fee?
PS I love love love my template design! I removed you as an admin, assuming you were finished (I'm happy with it either way, I hope you don't mind.) And I followed you. I also added your blog button on the side, and a "right reserved" link with your name and link in it! So you get all the cred :)
I think people would diffidently still buy your designs, but I know I wouldn't. It's not that I think you aren't amazing or I don't love my design--I do, both of them. It's just that I don't have money and when I do I spend it on books. ;) Now, if I was a ''big'' {400+ followers} blogger/blogging was REALLY important to me, I would. But I'm not there yet.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I think what Sophie said was really cool, about the simple templates being free then a more detailed one costing moo-la. :)
- Anonymous16.5.14
You could do that but then your number of orders would go down and some new bloggers just want someone like you to design their blog. Your designs are cost worthy, but I say it's best if you don't put up a price.ReplyDelete
Here is the [honest] opinion of your Les: Perhaps you could charge a small fee for complete (re)designs, but still continue to keep it free of charge if a customer only wanted particular elements, such as a header or button. Your talent is very promising in this field of art, so whatever you do, just do your best. :)ReplyDelete
With more bouquets of red roses because I love you,
You're designs are definitely good enough to be payed for, but I'd be so sad if you started charging for your designs. I love being able to email you to ask for little things to be done and I love thinking that I could change my design at any time, I'd just have to fill out one of your forms and get a beautiful design for free. I also don't know how I would get the money to you if you started charging, since I live in the UK, I don't know how I would get dollars for you...ReplyDelete
If I am completely honest with you, I don't think I would get a design from you if you started paying. It would be a lot of hassle getting the dollars and I'd rather not pay for a new design/little things that I'd like doing. I think I would leave it or do a less beautiful design myself. That's just my honest opinion
I definitely think that your designs are worth paying for; however, I personally would not be able to keep getting designs from you. I just feel like my blog is really small right now, and I don't think that at this point I would want to pay to have it designed. I also don't have a credit card so I don't know how I would even be able to pay you. I definitely think that you wouldn't have as many orders in general if you started charging, but you would be getting paid for the orders you did receive, so that might be worth it. =)ReplyDelete
Silver Linings
okay, i completely agree with Sophie. i love my design that you did for me and am already planning on using you again for future things, but for me, i probably wouldn't pay for it, mainly because my blog is just a hobby. you totally do amazing designs, definitely worth paying for, and as Sophie said, the cool part is that they are free. when i found your blog and then your design site i told my mom, "i can't believe this girl does designs for free! it's so hard to find someone who does great blog designs for free!" so for me, you doing blog designs for free is a big blessing! but i have had my own small-scale businesses before so i totally understand wanting to start doing what you enjoy for a fee! xoxojanaReplyDelete
You're good enough for sure! I am so glad I got in early though, you're designs are awesome, but I just don't have any money to pay with. It all goes to my music lessons.ReplyDelete
I love your designs! They are totally awesome, and definitely worth money. I notice, though, that a lot of the bloggers you make them for are younger, including me. And I personally would not be spending money on them, even though I love them. It's not YOUR designs, it just blog designs in general are not something I would really pay for. But I think you could charge for them and get a good outcome! The designs are great, I love them, I don't know how you do it! :) :) :)ReplyDelete
-Anna <3
With all honesty, I *really* think your designs are totally worth paying for! Although, everyone does have a point... There is a possibility that you won't get as many customers. BUT, you could maybe charge customers if they order from you a second time? Yah know what I mean? I don't know. Hopefully I helped. :}ReplyDelete
I love you. <3
Your Kenz
As a new reader, I definitely think your designs are worth paying for! You're very good and deserve to be paid for your time and effort! I totally agree with Sophie's idea.ReplyDelete

Channel 4 — April 10, 2020
Today's featured interview is Gibbs Williams, PhD speaking about "SMACK in the MIDDLE: My Turbulent Time Treating Heroin Addicts at Odyssey House"
In 1967, an eager 30-year-old psychotherapist named Gibbs Williams was offered a job treating heroin addicts at an innovative therapeutic community in lower Manhattan called Odyssey House. What followed over the next seventeen months represents one of the most harrowing and illuminating journeys a young professional can experience at the beginning of his career, due - in large part- to Odyssey's brilliant, pioneering, inscrutable, and mercurial founder and Director, (both a lawyer and psychiatrist). Williams documents his personal and professional Odyssey at Odyssey House in a new book that is both a fascinating look back and an important mirror on some of the most vexing problems our society faces today.

Currently playing: Else Byskov speaking about "Death Is an Illusion"
Martinus will become much more prominent as a spiritual teacher, thanks to Else Byskov's clear summary of his life and teachings. Death Is An illusion is a timely introduction to the Danish 20th century mystic, Martinus (1890-1981) whose teachings have a sound picture of the cosmos and a perspective about the human future based on the evolution of consciousness. Martinus cosmology is an all-embracing world picture, a spiritual science that describes and analyses the spiritual laws of life. It leads to an optimistic view of life, and it provides the basis for a harmonious and empathetic relationship to all people and all living things.

Both are united and divided by a crime syndicate, Nada Mas, and eventually, what binds them back together is a child, Sarita. It is after both Gabriela and Dante break ties with Nada Mas that Gabriela is abducted, held captive, and forcefully deported back to Mexico, and Dante, who is seeking refuge in Mexico, takes Sarita with him, from New Jersey, cross country, to Mexico, and back, all while two separate branches of the FBI are pursuing Dante, along with Nada Mas.

Currently playing: Deborah Armstrong speaking about "Boss"
Dr. Jules Montgomery needed a hero for just one night. Dane Andrews, Boss to the men who know him, had only one rule--never mess with any woman in his home town. All it took was her arms wrapped around his neck, and her soft, warm lips caressing his ear as she whispered, "Help a girl out. Your name's Gary, and you're my boyfriend."
Boss quickly stepped into the role of hero and fantasy boyfriend, finding it impossible to say no to the mesmerizing beautiful redhead. He played Gary to her Red. For one night only, they belonged to each other.
Five years later, fate and a redheaded four-almost five-year-old reunite them once again. Life has gone on, although neither has forgotten the other. Jules returns to her home town to reconcile with her aunt, only to discover that her aunt is the housekeeper to Boss, a man with an occupation that goes against everything Jules holds dear. Boss is considered a hero by those who know him, although he now needs a service dog by the name of Lucky to keep him safe. Together, man and dog, become the heroes that Jules needs once again to keep her and her daughter safe for more than one night.
Currently playing: Caroline H. Sheppard speaking about "When Family Calls"
Long Distance Caregiving can be challenging—and one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
No one is ever fully prepared to help a family member through a difficult illness, and aging issues, let alone prepare their loved ones for death. In today's world many are called upon to help from afar—children, nieces or nephews, siblings and even friends. There are many "how to" books out there on caregiving but few share their story—the raw emotions, the exhaustion—but that show how, in the end, the caregiver gains wonderful gifts and a deepened love and understanding for those they help.
In her first book for adults, Caroline H. Sheppard shares her story of how she was called to oversee the care for five family members over a fifteen year period (from 1999 to 2014). Due to the physical distance between those in need and herself, she learned the ups and downs and ins and outs of long distance care and how challenging and rewarding it can be.
Currently playing: Linda Maria Frank speaking about "2019-Top Female Author - The Mystery of the Lost Avenger"
The wreckage of a World War II plane is found in the mountains of Appalachia. It mysteriously crashed in 1943 on its way to a naval base. Inside the plane is a note, written by Annie Tillery's great-grandmother, Charlotte, who was in love with a fighter pilot. Young Charlotte tested the planes and flew them to naval bases; her fiancé flew the planes in battle. While investigating the crash site, NCIS finds the note in the plane, which they trace to Charlotte and then to her surviving family members, Annie and her mother Carol. The mystery begins. Why did the plane crash, and what does Charlotte's note mean? Annie and her mother decide to dig into Great-Grandmother's past by way of the aged family attic. There, they find love letters written by Charlotte and her Navy pilot fiancé. There is a code to be broken in those letters and The Mystery of the Lost Avenger to be solved. As they explore, Annie suspects Charlotte's ghost is reaching out to tell her something, but what? She enlists the help of her boyfriend, newly licensed pilot Ty Egan, but Annie feels she may be the key to her great-grandmother's top-secret life.
Currently playing: Willie Handler speaking about "The Road Ahead"
Rick Tompkins, a suburban Toronto insurance broker, never considered a career in politics until a good friend, who happens to be the leader of the Conservative party, asks him to run for office. He accepts the offer, with the understanding that he would probably not win, but can use the opportunity to gain some visibility for himself and his business. Jerry Switzer, a veteran party worker, is sent in to guide Rick through a campaign in a riding that hasn't elected a Conservative in years. Rick fumbles his way through the election campaign and manages a surprise win but at the expense of saddling his party with an impossible commitment. What makes matters worse, Rick is anything but politically correct. He offends everyone in his path and stumbles from one political scandal to another.

Currently playing: Donna Everhart speaking about "The Moonshiner's Daughter"
Set in North Carolina in 1960 and brimming with authenticity and grit, The Moonshiner's Daughter evokes the singular life of sixteen-year-old Jessie Sasser, a young woman determined to escape her family's past . . .
Generations of Sassers have made moonshine in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes County, North Carolina. Their history is recorded in a leather-bound journal that belongs to Jessie Sasser's daddy, but Jessie wants no part of it. As far as she's concerned, moonshine caused her mother's death a dozen years ago.
Her father refuses to speak about her mama, or about the day she died. But Jessie has a gnawing hunger for the truth—one that compels her to seek comfort in food. Yet all her self-destructive behavior seems to do is feed what her school's gruff but compassionate nurse describes as the "monster" inside Jessie.
Resenting her father's insistence that moonshining runs in her veins, Jessie makes a plan to destroy the stills, using their neighbors as scapegoats. Instead, her scheme escalates an old rivalry and reveals
long-held grudges. As she endeavors to right wrongs old and new, Jessie's loyalties will bring her to unexpected revelations about her family, her strengths—and a legacy that may provide her with the answers she has been longing for.

Pranayama, or breath exercises, will be threaded in to every class. And she always leaves ample time for the most valuable pose of all, savasana (Corpse Pose).

Costa Mesa officials Friday announced that the city might dismantle its fire department and contract out for fire protection.
Officials released the broad details of a proposal from the Orange County Fire Authority — a joint powers authority providing fire services to various cities primarily in South County — that would offer fire services to the city for between $16 million and $18 million annually.
Costa Mesa's current fiscal year budget estimates spending just over $19 million on its fire department, said interim Assistant City Manger Terry Matz.
Like so many city's, Costa Mesa is facing a severe budget deficit. Earlier this week, council members voted 4-1 to cut several police positions as well as a helicopter patrol.
Councilwoman Wendy Leece voted against the cuts arguing city officials should keep analyzing the budget.
Matz — who recently took over after the retirement of longtime City Manager Alan Roeder — said the proposal would be analyzed before any decisions are made. An open forum is scheduled at Costa Mesa City Hall on March 8 at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the proposal.
"It's premature to draw conclusions," Matz said adding, "No judgments have been made."
Matz added that the OCFA contract would soon be placed on the city's website for residents to review.
Correction: A previous version of this story misidentified interim Assitant City Manager Terry Matz

This 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo is a factory slant nose cabriolet finished in Grand Prix White with Marine Blue interior and soft top. The car was sold new at Bayside Porsche in Everett, Washington to the president of the Olympic Boat Center in Seattle, and it was used in the 1987 print catalog for The Bon Marche, a now defunct department store in the Seattle area. Over the next 16 years, the car was regularly serviced at Bayside Porsche and Squire's Autowerke while accumulating 30,690 miles. The current owner purchased this example in 2003 and has added approximately 8k miles during her ownership. Power comes from a 3.3L turbocharged flat-six paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, and additional factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, color-matched Fuchs, and heated sport seats. A dealer is representing the current owner in this auction and performed an engine-out service less 100 miles ago. New tires were also fitted and the electric soft top was serviced as described below. A Porsche CoA is included in the sale along with copy of the window sticker, original manuals, a clean Carfax, and a clean Washington title.
Only 42 Turbo Cabriolets were produced in 1987 with the factory slant nose option (M505), and rear fender strakes are also equipped along with extended side sills. Finished in Grand Prix White (908/P5), the body shows a small area of thinning paint on the left rear fender. The seller noticed some minor curb damage on the lower rear valance, so he had the piece repainted.
The original powered soft top (439) has been refurbished with a new rear window that was sewn in to preserve the original fabric. The cables and motors were serviced as well, and the top was then adjusted for a correct fit.
Fuchs alloys feature centers painted in matching Grand Prix White (348) and have polished lips instead of the stock anodized finish. The 16″ wheels were recently refinished with new paint and a fresh polish, and they wear new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 tires. An alignment was also performed.
Inside the cabin, the Marine Blue partial leather upholstery shows some slight fading from UV exposure in a few areas. Heated sport seats include 4-way power adjustment, and the front luggage compartment features black velour carpet (975) as shown in the gallery.
This car was fitted with a Blaupunkt Reno cassette radio (158) and an alarm (533) when it left the factory. The air conditioning, power accessories, interior lighting, and VDO gauges are functioning as they should, and the odometer shows 38,648 miles. A photo of the option code sticker is included in the gallery.
The turbocharged 3.3L flat-six is mated to a 4-speed manual transaxle with an optional 40% locking limited-slip differential (220). The car received an engine out service less than 100 miles ago in preparation for sale. Some minor oil leaks and worn second gear synchros were addressed, and a new insulation pad was installed while the engine was out. The valves were adjusted, and the air, fuel, and oil filters were replaced. After the work was completed, a leakdown test was conducted on the bench, reportedly showing 8%, 6%, 6%, 8%, 6%, and 8% on cylinders 1-6 respectively.
Detail photographs of the engine and transmission number stampings have been provided, and show that the VIN stickers are still in place and legible.
The seller reports that the factory emissions equipment is in place. Several photographs showing the underside of the car can be seen in the image gallery below.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows a production date of June 27, 1987 and verifies the serial numbers, colors, and optional equipment.
The included window sticker shows that the slant nose option added $23,244 to the total new price of $102,513. The original owner's manual, tool kit, jack, tonneau cover, boot cover, sales brochures from 1987, and period literature are also included. No records exist from the first owner, though some have been provided by the current owner. Invoices from the work performed by the seller document the recent engine service, soft top repairs, wheel refinishing, tires, and more.

We know that routine workplace inspections can be tedious, time consuming and some may even say boring. The reasons for completing workplace inspections are clear –mandatory either from a regulatory or liability perspective, preventative maintenance and best practice; but it's time to adopt a new mindset about compliance.
Believe it or not, your attitude about compliance sends key messages and insights about your company to employees and externally.
For example the way you talk about routine inspections, the prioritization of inspections, reward and discipline for inspection performance and how quickly action is taken on deficiencies found during inspections sends messages to your employees and others about whether you really care about compliance or not. And this is not just noticeable to employees but also to clients and the broader industry.
Employees want to do work that is valued. If the work is not prioritized or they know they will not be recognized for their performance, employees will not associate importance with this work – meaning they may leave inspections to last minute, rush their inspections or not document deficiencies.
Secondly, if employees feel that action is not being taken on the deficiencies they find, they may become disengaged. Disengagement often leads to a loss in productivity and employees may begin to look for other employment opportunities, leaving your company with high turnover, loss of your best employees and loss of knowledge.
Clients do not want to work and spend their money on space that's riddled with deficiencies that can lead to serious incidents, particularly those that could have been prevented. Such incidents lead to poor client satisfaction and they may seek other spaces once their lease is up which has obvious financial implications.
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon has been quoted as saying "your brand is what other people say about you when you're not in the room". Your company's reputation can be tarnished by health & safety incidents, lawsuits, poor media coverage, poor client satisfaction and negative reviews by current and former employees. All of these brand detractors have financial implications. Maintaining a positive and proactive approach to compliance will help reduce any risk to brand reputation.
Here are a few ways you can project a positive attitude towards compliance:
1) Attitude
· As a company and manager, you get to set the tone and create the culture. This is often done in subtle, unspoken ways
· View compliance as a proactive way to identify and fix any gaps because it's the right thing to do
· Make compliance, routine inspections and safety a priority. Employees should know that inspections are important to you and that they will be rewarded/recognized and disciplined in relation to their performance
· Talk about compliance frequently – not just when something goes wrong
· Celebrate and recognize your wins and successes
2) Training
· Ensure employees are properly trained on how to perform inspections, the locations of equipment and how to document any deficiencies
· If you notice an employee is having difficulty, pair them up with a partner or provide refresher training
· Frequently circulate and communicate tips n tricks, best practices etc.
3) Reward & Discipline
· Talk about inspection performance frequently including:
o areas that are well-inspected
o areas that are frequently missed
o areas with deficiencies, the resolution and the time it took
o trends
o inspectors that are doing a great job
· Celebrate wins and successes
· Reward and recognize employees that:
o complete their inspections early or on time
o complete 100% of their inspections without missing any locations
o accurately report and identify deficiencies
o have improved their inspection performance
· Discipline employees that:
o do not complete their inspections on time
o miss inspections
o improperly perform inspections
o do not document deficiencies
4) Action
· When deficiencies are found, take action right away to demonstrate that you care and value the work; this will help avoid feelings of disengagement
· If action cannot be taken right away (i.e. budget restrictions, capital planning cycle etc.), advise your employees so they understand when action will be taken and that their work is still valued
As a company and manager, you have the amazing opportunity to set the tone and culture, often in subtle ways. It's important that your attitude and actions towards compliance convey its significance. Your attitude should be positive and proactive if you want to get the most out of your inspections. Moreover, your attitude towards compliance can be leveraged as a competitive advantage – with your employees, your clients and brand.
It's time we shift our mindset about compliance.

Passover is the first of the Moedim in YHWH's calendar, that occurs during the barley harvest. It's also the first of the Moedim that our family began to observe (in 2007). At the time, we simply wanted an annual Biblical event that could begin a family tradition that was not based on pagan beliefs and practices. It seemed like the natural replacement, even though we knew little about the observance of it. Each year we've had an evening meal consisting of unleavened bread and roasted lamb, as we spend time praying and reading Scriptures that remind us of YHWH's Passover and focusing on the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.more "Passover פסח Pesach"

Do one new thing every day. That's a philosophy to live by. Now, if you are sitting in Kolkata and wondering what's the one new thing you can do today, then hop onto a 8-wheeler/4-wheeler/3-wheeler/2-wheeler and get yourself to Eco Park, New Town. Because there is an ice-skating rink over there and the maximum advisable time to wait before you try it out is the amount of time it will take you to finish reading this article.
Lemme answer a few FAQs about Eco Iskate right away –
Is it legit? – Yeah, there is an enclosed space with smooth ice on the floor.
Are the ice skates provided? – Yes, and they are comfortable and almost definitely available in your size. And there are a lot of them, so, you will never be disappointed.
Is there any other safety gear? – Elbow and knee guards are provided. Your balance you will have to manage on your own.
Is there an age limit? – It's mostly for the young at heart.
But, I don't know how to skate, what will I do over there? – Very few people in this city actually know how to ice skate. Thankfully, the Eco Iskate people found a couple of them and they will be giving you hands-on training in the rink. They are friendly, encouraging and will keep a check on your progress.
What if I fall? – Then, you will crawl to the sides, pick yourself up and start again. It's so much fun that it literally doesn't hurt.
What's the size of the hole it will burn in my pocket? – Only the hole left by a well-invested sum of Rs. 150/-
Honestly, get yourself there. It's something that will keep you smiling for days.

April 4, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
7th September 2011
On Monday morning, the Independent Commission on Banking will file the 350-plus-page report aimed at ensuring greater competition and financial stability for the UK's banks, reports This is Money.
So far, extreme measures may have been taken – but there are increasing calls for regulation and further action. Citygroup analysts estimate the break-up of the big banks has knocked between £20bn and £25bn off the combined market value of Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and RBS in recent weeks.
What about further reforms? There are calls for reforms to the sector, but also strong opposition to this. British Bankers' Association's chief executive Angela Knight believes any further reforms should be delayed because of 'a high degree of uncertainty and market turbulence' – while CBI's director-general John Cridland said bluntly that reform is 'barking mad'.
Newspaper commenters are giving their pennies worth, with Simon Jenkins in the Guardian saying: "Indeed, each new shot of so-called quantitative easing – or cash to the banks – had led to the opposite of what was intended. Lending fell and growth weakened. The banks pleaded for ever more easing, but for a quite different reason, to bolster their balance sheets against past and future bad debts. Cash intended to go into consumer demand thus disappeared into bank vaults.
"There is not a shred of evidence that three years of astonishing Treasury generosity to the banks has done Britain's private sector economy one iota of good. They continue to escape any remedial regulation."
And so it appears we are treading water when it comes to tackling our banks – yet headwinds facing the UK economy are being added to by the weakness of this sector, says Mindful Money's economist blogger Shaun Richards.
This has been a theme of his for some time, and is finally coming to a head.
He points to signs last year that this was a problem, writing on his blog: "If we look at the UK banking sector in isolation I argued back on the 14th of December last year that the accelerated withdrawal of the Special Liquidity Scheme by the Bank of England would lead to a tightening of monetary conditions and less bank lending. I was thinking mostly of the impact on mortgage lending then but the impact has been to weaken our banks and their lending just as other factors have weakened them too. You cannot with draw some £185 billion without expecting some impact…"
As a result, a "zombified banking sector" is a problem for us all – we need credit to flow as freely as it can right now and our weakened banks are unlikely to be able to provide enough of it, says Shaun.
James comments on the blog: "It is completely extraordinary that, after three years of treading water, as you put it, we are still no clearer as to what to do with the banks.
