Brazil's economic rout deepened in the fourth quarter as investors and consumers remain skeptical of the government's austerity measures that marked a disastrous year of corruption and recession.
Gross domestic product contracted 0.9% in the final three months of 2016, its biggest decline in a year, after a revised 0.7% drop the previous quarter, the national statistics institute said Tuesday. That was worse than the median estimate for a 0.5% decline from 46 economists Bloomberg surveyed, and lower than all but four of their estimates. For the full year Brazil contracted 3.6%.
Amid the biggest bribery scandal in the nation's history, Brazil's economic and political crisis has decimated both investment and consumption while unemployment has now reached record levels. An economic recovery may remain elusive even as President Michel Temer wins investor praise for efforts to shore up Brazil's finances, and plunging inflation allows the central bank to lower borrowing costs.
"There's no new evidence of where the economic activity is going to come from," Andre Perfeito, chief economist at Gradual Cctvm, said by phone. "It's not true that lower interest rates alone make for investment."
Swap rates on the contract maturing in January 2019 rose three basis points to 9.69% in early morning trading. Brazil's currency, the real, gained 0.52% to 3.120 per US dollar.
Minutes after the GDP figures were released, Temer vowed to push ahead with his reform agenda and highlighted some economic bright spots such as falling inflation and record foreign direct investment.
Yet investment dropped 1.6% from the third quarter. It stood at 16.4% of GDP in 2016, down from 18.1% and 19.9% in the preceding years, according to the statistics institute.

Myth and Reality: Trade War Round Two
Rain over the Great Wall of China
The latest round of tariffs marks a new low for the international trading system and threatens livelihoods in New Zealand.
No-one can predict how the current re-escalation of the trade war between the United States and China will play out, but some things need to be said upfront.
This trade war is not about trade at all: it's about politics and most specifically about geopolitics and the economic rivalry between two great powers.
Not about trade
This trade war is not about trade at all: it's about politics and most specifically about geopolitics and the economic rivalry between two great powers. Because of this any cessation of hostilities is likely to be temporary at best, because no trade deal can put paid to the underlying problem that has emerged. We need a new entente cordiale to develop. But even then, and make no mistake about it, this is also about domestic politics in the land of the free and the brave. Trade wars might not much for the economy, or farmers or consumers but they are great for rallying the base and deflecting attention away from other uncomfortable issues.
Not about us
From a distance it's tempting to see this latest round of geo-political sparring as something that doesn't concern us. That too is wrong. New Zealand exporters are already facing trade diversion – competition from US products destined for China, but which are finding their way to other markets. There may be some benefit in the Chinese market but this will be short lived if and when US imports start flowing again.
The situation will worsen considerably if the President follows through on his latest tweet threatening to dump US agricultural surpluses on world markets. We have been here before and it is not a happy memory. There are now global rules in place to protect us from this sort of trade buccaneering, but these depend on whether we have a dispute settlement system in place in the World Trade Organisation to back them up. That too is looking decidedly shaky at present as the US blocks appointments to the WTO Appellate Body, which will render that body – the great life-boat for international trade – inoperable by the end of the year . And if the "deal" that is reached between the United States and China obliges one party to buy large amounts of agricultural products from the other you can imagine how that will play out for New Zealand.
Not about me
But then, I'm not a farmer, so why should this worry me? Let's put to one side that it's the revenue from our exports which, to a large extent (and notwithstanding the rise of other valuable sectors), remain agriculturally based, that pay for the lifestyles we have become accustomed to in New Zealand. Let's think more broadly about the possible impact on the economy. Things are going relatively well for us in Godzone at present, despite the dark clouds on the horizon. Most of our economic problems, as my friend bank economist Tony Alexander reminded me this week, are about the capacity constraints in our economy, especially not enough workers. Global tensions may seem far off and hard to value, but we are already seeing impacts on global stock markets which rebound in our own domestic market. Everything is connected in an interdependent world – that means market uncertainty, a further dampening of business confidence and potentially a hit to retirement savings.
It's tempting at times like this to look to the tyranny of distance to insulate us against what is happening in the outside world. The trade war and its consequences might yet be the black swan event that ruins our party.]

Chiropractic Treatment for Sacroiliac Issues
Damage to or degeneration of the sacroiliac joint can cause lower back pain. Your chiropractor will evaluate how extreme your back pain is, and develop a chiropractic care treatment plan that will afford you the best chance of lower back pain relief. If you suffer from back pain in Corona , visit a chiropractor near you for natural healing methods that rely on safe, effective forms of alternative medicine to provide back pain relief.
One of the first chiropractic treatment methods your chiropractor will recommend is a chiropractic adjustment, or spinal manipulation. This form of chiropractic care allows your chiropractor to remove slack from your lumbar spine, and use thrust to forcefully release gases in the sacroiliac joint. These gasses are made up of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. This provides almost instantaneous lower back pain relief.
Your chiropractor may also utilize spinal decompression therapy for back pain relief. This chiropractic treatment method uses a motorized traction device to slowly stretch your spine. Your chiropractor can then gently manipulate your sacroiliac joint back into place. Spinal decompression therapy relies on the force of gravity, rather than the traditional, more forceful spinal manipulation used in a chiropractic adjustment.
What Could Be Causing Your Neck Pain?
Chronic neck pain can be caused by various conditions, from aging to injury. If you're suffering from persistent or acute neck pain, a chiropractor can offer you relief through natural healing methods and alternative medicine in Corona . Here are some of the most common conditions that cause chronic neck pain.
Radiating Neck Pain
A herniated disc in your cervical spine can cause radiating neck pain if the disc is pinching a nerve in the neck. This type of pain is called sciatica. Sciatica causes pain that radiates from the neck down the arm. You may also experience a numbness or tingling sensation in your arms or hands. If you're suffering from a herniated disc, your chiropractor may recommend spinal decompression therapy. This form of chiropractic care utilizes a motorized traction device to slowly stretch the spine so that your discs shift back into alignment.
Neck Pain Aggravated by Movement
If your neck pain progressed slowly over a long period of time, and is aggravated by movement, it may be caused by a condition called cervical spinal stenosis. Cervical spinal stenosis can occur as you age, and your spinal discs begin to exhibit wear and tear. This disc degeneration may affect a nerve root in the neck, and cause pain. Chiropractors typically use a combination of chiropractic care treatments to relieve this pain. Your chiropractor may recommend physical therapy, acupuncture therapy, therapeutic massage, or physiotherapy.
Persistent or Fluctuating Neck Pain
Some chronic neck pain may persist at a low level of pain for a period of time, and then suddenly fluctuate, or become acute. If you experience fluctuating neck pain that is accompanied by arm pain, you may be suffering from cervical degenerative disc disease. This condition may develop after an injury to the spinal discs, and pain may become worse when the neck, arms, and shoulders move or are used. Your chiropractor can treat this condition with physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic adjustments.
What to Expect from a Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractors regularly use chiropractic adjustments as the foundation for chiropractic treatment in Corona . This form of alternative medicine can be particularly useful when a part of the spine has become misaligned and is causing a person back pain, stiffness, and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments allow your chiropractor to manipulate your spine in such a way that it gently shifts back into place, relieving your discomfort.
Watch this video to learn more about what you can expect during a chiropractic adjustment. In the clip, chiropractor Andrew Haig discusses the details of this chiropractic procedure, and explains what you can expect after the treatment.
Combining Therapeutic Massage and Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors in Corona will often combine therapeutic massage and chiropractic care to maximize the benefits that their patients receive. This decision depends primarily upon your symptoms, the diagnosis that your chiropractor gives you, and how each chiropractic treatment can benefit you. Here is some more information about how and why chiropractors combine therapeutic massage and chiropractic care.
What Is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage, also called massage therapy, is a form of chiropractic care that is used to treat ailments of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Massage treatment is offered by chiropractors for patients suffering from neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain. Massage therapy is also extremely successful form of migraine and headache treatment. During a therapeutic massage, different levels of pressure are placed on your muscles, tendons, and ligaments to provide pain relief, reduce tension, and lower stress.
What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is comprised of a number of different alternative medicine treatments that address disorders of the muscles, skeletal system, and nervous system. Chiropractic care treatments include acupuncture, physical therapy, reflexology, massage therapy, physiotherapy, spinal manipulation, chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, nutritional counseling, lifestyle counseling, and other forms of natural healing. This form of alternative medicine is a very safe, effective way of relieving pain and providing pain management without relying on prescription medication.
What Is the Benefit of Combining the Two?
Massage therapy is often combined with other methods of chiropractic care to increase the benefits of the chiropractic treatment. Your chiropractor may recommend a chiropractic adjustment in combination with therapeutic massage to treat lower back pain. If you suffer from a herniated disc, spinal decompression therapy may be combined with therapeutic massage to realign your spinal column, and provide pain relief. Chiropractors often combine acupuncture therapy with massage therapy to relax patients suffering from anxiety and stress, and to also manage the pain of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal or nervous system.

Pro-democracy lawmakers have said that Chinese President Xi Jinping put a stronger emphasis on China's sovereignty over Hong Kong during his visit to the city.
A focus of Xi's speech during the inauguration ceremony for Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Saturday was that "One Country is the root" which comes before "Two Systems," and that the Basic Law should be implemented correctly.
Three pro-democracy lawmakers told HKFP that Xi's speech indicated a hardline approach towards the administration of Hong Kong.
"We believe a serious issue is that he did not speak a lot about the 'Two Systems.' Even though he said the differences between the two systems have to be respected, he did not touch on the issues of safeguarding Hong Kong's special system and avoiding interference from Chinese authorities such as the Liaison Office," said Education sector lawmaker Ip Kin-yuen.
Xi urged Hong Kong to "step up the patriotic education of young people." In response, Ip said it would be fine if such education would spark young people's interest in public affairs.
"But if patriotic education only discusses the positive side, then it would not be good," he said.
Xi also said that awareness of the Chinese Constitution and the Basic Law should be increased among civil servants and young people.
"It would not be okay if [education] spoonfeeds values [to them]," Ip said. "We believe that these topics should be part of civic education, and students should be taught the information along with the ability to reflect and think independently."
Accountancy sector lawmaker Kenneth Leung said Xi spoke a good deal about economic issues, but he mainly stressed Hong Kong's cooperation with the mainland, such as the "One Belt, One Road" initiative and the Pearl River Delta Bay Area development scheme.
"But can they solve the issues that have stacked up in the past? [Economic cooperation with the mainland] may not be the only way out for Hong Kong people," he said.
Xi also said China can communicate with people holding different views, if they are patriotic and uphold the "One Country, Two Systems" principle and the Basic Law.
Asked if the remark suggests potential communication with the pro-democracy camp, Leung said: "But it stops at communication."
IT sector lawmaker Charles Mok noted that Xi did not mention universal suffrage or democratic reform in his speech: "These are the most important things."
Four solutions
But Starry Lee, chairwoman of the largest pro-Beijing party, told HKFP that the president's remarks showed his sincere wish to communicate.
"I don't think he was taking a more hardline approach, he was clearly expressing the problem of Hong Kong in his view – and to solve it requires having a clear understanding of the relationship between One Country and Two Systems, understanding the Basic Law and the [Chinese] Constitution, continuing our [economic] development, and building a harmonious society," she said.
She said that Xi's schedule was tight but he had arranged to meet the deputy director of the State Council's Hong Kong and Macao Office.
"I think under President Xi, we will be able to take care of requests from all sides," she said. "The central government knows there are different voices in society and it is willing to listen."
But pro-Beijing camp lawmaker Michael Tien told HKFP there may be a greater push to enact the national security law stipulated by the Article 23 of the Basic Law, which failed to be legislated in 2003 after massive protests.
"[Xi] said improvements are needed to safeguard national sovereignty. For 'One Country, Two Systems' to be implemented successfully, there are some things that cannot be challenged," he said. "Once there is Article 23, there will be no chance of anyone talking about independence anymore."
Carrie Lam has said that she would legislate the national security law under an appropriate social atmosphere.
"We can't say this is not the appropriate atmosphere," Tien said. "When it was discussed [in 2003] there was no Hong Kong independence movement," he said. "There are even more voters supporting different kinds of self-determination now – isn't this the right time to discuss it?"

People often ask me "how did you get into bee jewelry?". Well the truth is I'd been making jewelry for over 15 years before Bee Amour came into being. It wasn't until the spring of 2011 when I had my own hive of bees that these two passions came together.
Fast forward a few years and I was elbow deep in 15 hives with more bees to manage than I knew what to do with! In 2015 Bee Amour partnered with milk + honey spa to create our very own apiary and beekeeping apprenticeship program. Check out our write up in Edible Austin!
After four years of caring for a lot of bees the time finally came to downsize. So now it's back to just me and a few 100'000 bees buzzing together in the peaceful hills of the Barton Creek Greenbelt. All of the bees I use in my jewelry are collected after death and the health and happiness of my hives is my number one priority!
Keep up with our bees and learn about their importance in our world and how you can help sustain them at our Bee About It Blog!

Russian-Western Blind Spots: From Dialogue on Contested Narratives to Improved Understanding
|Russian-Western Blind Spots: From Dialogue on Contested Narratives to Improved Understanding
|Typ der Publikation
|inmedio and Institute for Law and Public Policy
This report was drafted by the dialogue group, which consists of some 20 experts from academia, thinks tanks and NGOs as well as journalists and cultural exchange/dialogue practitioners who met near Moscow in September and in Berlin in November 2018 to analyse and reflect on the Russian and Western narratives on what went wrong since the end of the Cold War regarding the deterioration of Russian-Western relations.
Reconstructing the core threats of the Russian and Western mainstream narratives from a meta-perspective, a number of collective 'blind spots' that figured prominently in the narrative of one side but were overlooked or neglected in the narrative of the other side, could be identified. They can serve as 'bridges of understanding', by focussing on aspects of a conflict narrative, where a shift of perspective – stepping into the other side's shoes and relating to the emotional meaning – seems to be comparably easy and possible without compromising on one's own core values.

The Times of India today has an article about scientific research which now proves that men are blinded to price tags (and everything else) when they are confronted by a nude woman. Advertisers have indeed always known this and have used this very effectively, but always lacked the scientific backing to prove this common sense. Now all those naysayers who said women are being objectified in advertising can be shown this research and told, "Here, see this... what we are doing is scientifically proven. Ha..ha.. Even you would'nt dispute sceintifically proven facts, would you?"
But marketers and advertisers are not always smart. You see, nude or scantily clad women make men gullible and help sell the products without bargaining for them, but the products should be those which men would use or atleast buy frequently. The people over at the three billion blog have an interesting point to note about a 'marketing malfunction' when it comes to selling male and female undergarments. Sample the websites of Calvin Klein Underwear for Men and the WonderBra for women and tell me who are the respective websites designed for.
Even if I buy a hypothetical arguement, that men and women buy underwear for their partners, it would be difficult to beleive that these two websites are designed to market to the right sex. As the threebillion blog rightly points out, the WonderBra website looks more like something out of FHM and would defenitely be more attractive to a man than a woman and vice versa for the Calvin Klein website. The famous 'Only The Balls Should Bounce' ad for WonderBra featuring Anna Kournikova atleast had an humurous angle to it - so while it got the attention of the men for sure, it also appealed to the women.
While I am thankful for the professor of Economics at the Flemish university who conducted the study about men's gullibility to nude women, unfortunately advertisers are still not that smart to make proper use of it, especially the ones who designed the Calvin Klein Underwear website. My advice to them would be that they should make the website more attractive to the target market of their product - men; and the simple way to do this is to make use of what the Flemish University study has scientifically proven - only then can they see their sales increasing! As for the WonderBra website I say, keep the current design - but as the article says, the target market here respond better to physical stimuli than visual - so you need to find some way to build in this service on your website!

The Challenge
Northern Inland Credit Union (NICU) is a mutually owned-authorised deposit taking institution (ADI) delivering financial services to benefit members. It offers a full fleet of banking products to its 16,000 members in north-western New South Wales.
Banking and consumer behaviours are constantly changing, and that change has only become more rapid over time. While NICU has been running a successful banking business for over 50 years, they recognised their current business and Member service model will need to change to adapt to the digital evolution currently occurring in many industries, none more so than banking. They needed to make some imminent changes, including adopting new digital technologies and offering more digitally-led Member journeys. NICU also needed to address growing Member expectations for consistent Member experiences and services across all channels.
Direct competition from other similar mutual competitors, as well as the market domination of the big four banks, meant NICU needed to make digital transformation a priority and leverage as much of its business intelligence assets as possible.
The key challenges NICU aimed to address with its digital transformation included:
- Offering Members a seamless customer experience
- Capturing all relevant Member and interaction data accurately
- The systems were previously not open and agile to accommodate data capture, feedback loops, and customer relationship management (CRM)
The systems were not integrated – NICU had separate email and SMS systems that were not integrated with other systems. Only about 10% of enquires lead to a sale with no data to explain why this was happening or how to improve the conversion rate within the sales funnel.
The Solution
With the integration of communications systems such as website enquiries, email and SMS at the top of its priority list, NICU started assessing available marketing automation systems. The goal was to respond to Members rapidly, and begin coordinating integrated marketing campaigns.
With an existing platform that was focused on transactions rather than relationships, NICU selected Squiz, an Australian-based technology consultancy specialising in digital transformation, as its implementation partner to overhaul its business and enable more digital ways of interacting with, tracking, and delivering personalised solutions to its Members.
As well as provide strategic consulting and support, Squiz's technical team implemented a leading marketing automation solution, Marketo, and renowned customer relationship management solution, SugarCRM.
NICU worked with Squiz's experienced transformation consultants to support and train employees throughout the company, from the C-suite to the sales and operations teams. A dedicated Squiz consultant met with the NICU leadership team in Sydney for a full-day induction.
In subsequent weeks, Squiz visited NICU on-site several times, which enabled the Squiz team to answer questions as needed, learn the team dynamic and understand how to make the implementation a successful first step in NICU's digital transformation journey.
Squiz also worked to understand the key stakeholders within NICU, as well as assist those who were finding the transition to digital challenging. There were numerous 1-1 sessions and workshops to ensure staff felt supported during the time of change. Squiz provided guidance on the key benefits and uses of the technology for staff and the business overall, and this on-the-spot nature of answering queries made the process smooth and efficient for staff members.
The Result
By working with Squiz to implement and train the organisation on new technologies like Marketo and SugarCRM, NICU now has a more holisitic view of how Member relationships are developed, and a consistent sales process that contains all the information it needs in one place.
NICU chose Marketo for its use of dynamic data lists and its ability to integrate with its CRM and other systems. Specifically, NICU was attracted by the capability to run automatic campaigns based on data-triggered events and data drawn from information in the core banking system, to offer more personalised information to the Member at each step of their journey.
Integrating systems and leveraging the available data to build pictures of Member behaviour has added significant value to NICU and its Members, providing NICU staff with a single view of the entire Member journey, starting from a branch visit or website enquiry, following it through to each banking transaction, Member service call, and subsequent interaction with the NICU team.
NICU staff have responded very positively to the digital changes within the organisation so far. Having a digital vision from the CEO to drive a digitised Member experience and integrate all of its platforms has lifted the experience for all team members, and provided the foresight to boost motivation and excitement around the transformation.
Next Steps
The next step for the NICU team will be to build a new personalised and optimised website with full integration into Marketo and the SugarCRM system. The new digital interface and first point of call for Members will be designed with the next generation of digital natives in mind, prioritising the Members' needs and expectations to develop a journey that is highly personalised, convenient and data-driven. This means each Member's experience will differ depending on their relationship with NICU.

Hi folks,
I am taking on a challenge to post a photograph every day for a full year starting today, New years Day. Please join in by uploading a photograph of your own and leaving a pingback here 🙂
Day 2 shows some shots of life springing from death. The trees were blown down by last years storms and were then cut up and stacked. In just a year life has taken hold, the logs are a haven for wildlife, fungi and who knows what else.

Article Title
This article surveys judicial and legislative developments in Virginia property law since the last Survey article on this topic was published, with primary emphasis on developments from June 1, 1998 to June 1, 2000. Although there were interesting developments in several areas of property law, the most important developments arose in the Supreme Court of Virginia's decisions involving covenants, servitudes, and easements. A significant portion of this article will explain and analyze those decisions.

There was mild drama on Twitter after a lady shared a video of what her friend did to her iPhone 7+ because her boyfriend refused to get her the latest version.
In Nigeria, people's financial capabilities are more often than not, measured by their physical appearance. One of the popular ways being phones. Most iPhone users are perceived as wealthy, hence the reason a lot of people go above and beyond to have the latest versions of the smart phone model.
Following the release of the latest iPhone, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, a lot of Nigerians have joined the race once again to acquire these phones in which ever way possible. Well, this Nigerian lady currently trending on the internet can certainly be described as one of those people who will literally do anything to remain in the trendy circle.
According to the video shared by a Twitter user who happens to be her friend, she reportedly destroyed her iPhone 7+ beyond repair after her boyfriend refused to get her the latest iPhone XS Max which costs N364k. Checking several reports, the iPhone 7+ which she destroyed price ranges from N280k to N350k in Nigeria.

BrewKeg - 10, 25 and 50 Litres
Introducing the BrewKeg, the latest brewing hardware from WilliamsWarn. The BrewKeg has all the same technical features as the WilliamsWarn BrewMaster except for the temperature control system. So if you can take care of the temperature, you can make premium quality beer/cider in 7 days.
Now available in three sizes:
10 Litres - BrewKeg10
25 Litres - BrewKeg25
50 Litres - BrewKeg50
The BrewKeg is a conical fermenter that brews under pressure, which means the beverage is fully carbonated after the first day of fermentation. It also allows for clarification without having to move or oxidise the brew inside. The brewing capacity is either 10, 25 or 50 litres, depending on your selection, so it is perfect for brewing your own premium quality beer/cider at home. Licenced premises (cafes, pubs, restaurants) can also use the BrewKeg to brew their own crafted beer/cider to serve on tap at their premise.
As the BrewKeg does not have the same temperature control system the BrewMaster does, you will need to create an environment that allows the brewing process to occur. For fermentation an ambient temperature of 20-25'C will be sufficient to allow a standard brew to ferment in 4 days. After this step you will need to store the BrewKeg cold so a source of refrigeration will be required. Once cold the BrewKeg allows you to clarify and completely remove all yeast and sediment from the beer in 2.5 days.
Therefore, at the end of the 7 days, the beer is ready to drink and can be consumed either directly from the BrewKeg, transferred into a keg or bottled using the WilliamsWarn Counter Pressure Bottler. All transfers are under pressure so you are left with perfectly carbonated, fresh beer ready to drink straight away.
The BrewKeg is designed for fermentation, carbonation, clarification of beer and cider, it also can be used as a serving vessel once the brewing is complete. You are not limited to the type of ingredients that you can brew with.
For more information on the process of how to brew using a BrewKeg, please visit vimeo.com/williamswarn/videos/ and check out the BrewKeg instructional videos.
An optional wheel set is also available.

Straits Trading chalks up big jump in Q1 FY2016 bottom line
THE Straits Trading Company reported a surge in net profit for Q1 FY2016 to S$22.56 million, up from S$2.44 million a year ago, thanks in part to lower expenses and higher share of results of associates and joint ventures.
Higher dividend income, higher interest income and fair-value changes in financial assets also bolstered the bottom line.
Revenue for the quarter slipped 3.5 per cent year on year to S$140.53 million while earnings per share came to 5.5 Singapore cents, up from 0.6 cent a year ago.
Chew Gek Khim, executive chairman of the company, said: "This significant progress attests to the success of the various transformative initiatives that were implemented in our businesses over the years. We will continue to build upon our platforms to create sustainable value for shareholders."

This essay came about from
participating in a writing contest hosted by Positive Writer. Thank
you for reading and know that you are enough.
For most of my adult life, I have felt I
wasn't good enough to do anything worthwhile. Oh, I could clean, wash
dishes, feed my pets. I could even drive a car. I could hold down a
service type job.
Studying to be a librarian or a historian crossed my mind, or raise horses. Instead, I got married and did those service jobs, thinking that was all I was good enough for.
It's probably too late to be a
librarian or a historian, needing education to be qualified for
either position and my apartment is too small for a horse (I'm grinning), but I can be a writer.
Being a writer is another position I wanted to fill. I wrote a lot during my growing up years. I wrote in a journal and tried my hand at short stories. My husband didn't discourage me but didn't offer much encouragement either, indicating in so many words that my writing would probably not be noticed.
In spite of feelings of inadequacies I wrote. I wrote in my journal and wrote stories. I read Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and her other works. To be like Jo March and writing her days away in a little attic hideaway was a dream of mine.
Since those years I come across writers such as Brenda Ueland who was the first writer I read that made me see I had a chance at being a writer. Her no-nonsense encouragement had me sitting in awe as I read her words. I have read her book If You Want to Write several times and will surely reread it
Then I found Natalie Goldberg's writings. She was the same in the fact she emphasized no
matter who you are or your circumstances, if you want to be a writer, you can be.
There are others too like Bryan Hutchinson, Jeff Goins, Jennifer Blanchard, to name a few. These have, in their ways put it out there that a person is good enough, we are all good enough to be who and what we want to be. They have convinced me anyway.
Where this essay is mostly about writing, I include any creative endeavor a person intends to pursue, be it painting, crafts of all sorts, or maybe researching, exploring.
I'm here to say to anyone who reads this that you are good enough to create what you would like to create. We all have something to give, share with the world we are in at this
time in our lives. There is room for our words. We may not reach everyone, but there is a group of one or many who are waiting to read what we have to say.
If we go out of this world without leaving our words, our stories, the world will suffer and be sad for the loss. They may not know it, but there will be a sense of something missing. It could be your words, your paintings, or some unknown discovery. Don't let that happen.

It is important to know what it means to have a handmade keepsake made for you. This means that slight variations may occur and evidence of being handmade may be evident. This means that there may be small air bubbles, mold seams, placement variations and/or other minor imperfections. Although we strive for perfection here at W.I.S.E, sometimes these things are unavoidable. Locks of hair may lie differently than expected and the color may seem darker since it is "wet" from the resin, bead caps may be a little off center or not 100% flush with the surface, or other evidence of being handmade. This is not grounds for a refund or return. There is just so much I can do to make these perfect and that is the nature of handmade pieces. If you think there is a flaw that could have been avoided, please email photos to firstname.lastname@example.com and explain your situation.

Tech gives you the chance to build your brand with a site name that actually represents your online business, your pursuits and all the pieces 'tech-y' you stand for. Technology has advanced to such an extent that the machines can do duties which are physically unapproachable by man. They wish to get in with enterprise startups which can be utilizing this technology to maneuver their enterprise ahead, interact with consumers, and enhance their business operations. I was stuck at a gathering out-of-town and my e-mail account had sustained a spam assault – 1000's of unsolicited messages – that might have taken hours to download.
Even a circulating tech fills a selected function that does not have massive variation from everyday. While there is no such thing as a do-all universal drivetrain system that can handle something and the whole lot that comes its manner, the excellent news is it is arduous to make a improper choice. They obtained coaching by means of an accelerated nursing program that emphasized on operating room technology and acquired on-the-job coaching in the surgical procedure division.
The technology revolution has led to a rise in chat rooms, on-line databases and personalised net pages. Identical to the rest in life, stepping into this business means beginning at the backside and dealing your method up. Let's first discuss what skills you want to grow to be backline technician. Blockchain is another technology on the fringe ready to bust on to the scene in a fury in 2018.
Your laptop help technician should have the talents it takes to repair the issue. This affects the quality of labor being carried out and increases coaching prices and lowers technician effectivity. A help tech is any individual who provides help to customers who're having some kind of problem with the businesses software program or service. The essential equipment you have to to work from home as a nail technician will not be expensive and, because of the recognition of nail extensions, supplies are readily available and can be bought conveniently on-line.
A level two help tech must be a little bit more educated about the system itself. Once you change into an experienced backline technician it would not matter the place you reside as a result of you'll be working all over the world, and never in your house town. I've heard numerous horror stories from clients that stated the technician that got here to repair their pc never referred to as them again.

Given the expansion and maturation of the field over the past three decades and its continued - and perhaps increased - relevance to the teaching of undergraduates and graduates, it is reasonable for the Annual Review of Psychology to offer its first review on the history and historiography of psychology [except for an earlier historical chapter by Mueller (1979)]. The treatment of the topic, which we hope will be particularly useful to teachers and students of the history of psychology, is rather straightforward. After a discussion of authors and texts on the general history of psychology, we highlight some of the important issues and developments in the historiography of psychology and then review some of the resources that will aid students, teachers, and scholars of the history of psychology.

March 7, 2012
Reviewer: Ashley K from Seattle, WA
It is well-made and very nice looking. We had this set for 2 weeks now and very pleased with the set. It is well-worth the money that we paid for for sure. We received the set within 2 weeks. In, 15 min we assembled it and was ready for use. The chairs are pretty confortable and the table is really slick-looking.

Sego Cleaver 110
2019 Men's Indie Ski
The first thing testers noticed about the Cleaver 110 is its very abrupt, directional early rise in the shovel. The second thing they noticed was that this ski is surprisingly versatile for being on the fatter end of the all-mountain wide spectrum. Sego, based in Wyoming's Tetons, built the Cleaver for big mountain competitions where charging hard is the name the game, and this ski could handle all that and more, even on groomed runs.
Strength: Crud Performance, Flotation
Weakness: Forgiveness
Check out all of 2019's Best Indie Skis for Men here.

New Boardwalk At Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve
Wondering what's up with the suspension bridge in Dartmouth's Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve? Hikers have been seeing something new.
Those that loved hiking in the Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve in Dartmouth may have noticed their favorite suspension bridge is off limits these days.
The Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust told hikers at the beginning of May that the bridge was being replaced with a boardwalk due to dangerous wear and tear.
As they posted on Facebook, the bridge was showing signs of wear that was not easily repaired so, to put safety first, the boardwalk has to be brought in instead.
And while the boardwalk is in and of itself a cool way to walk through the wetlands, many of those on Facebook were very disappointed in the loss of the bridge.
So far there are no plans in place to replace the bridge that has been taken down, but as Kendra Murray, the DNRT Development and Outreach Specialist, told me they are "assessing" the situation to decide the next step.
Many hikers of course hope that the next step is rebuilding and replacing, but for now the new boardwalk is the way to travel through Frank Knowles/Little River Reserve.

Not even getting her own animatronic double can impress Grumpy Cat.
The famously sour-faced puss became the first feline immortalized by Madame Tussauds, according to a press statement.
Her replica, which made its debut at Madame Tussauds San Francisco on Tuesday, curls up in a little red bed, and can lift its head and purr.
But the real cat herself, who attended the unveiling of her likeness, didn't look too dazzled — and was even unfazed by the fact it's also the first mechanical figure made by the museum, which has headquarters in London, in more than a century.
Grumpy Cat, who is owned by Tabatha Bundesen and whose real name is Tardar Sauce, found fame after photographs of her were posted on Reddit in 2012.
The 3-year-old's replica will remain in San Francisco for several months before touring other Madame Tussauds locations in the U.S., according to the statement from the wax museum.

Thank you to Gabrielle Coggins from PWC who delivered an engaging presentation and workshop to Year 13 Students last Thursday. PWC are a multinational organisation who offer a number of Professional Services; building trust and solving difficult problems. During the session students were presented with a number of Case Studies to resolve and after much debate they delivered their well thought out solutions. Professional Services is a growth sector in Liverpool and so this was an ideal opportunity for students to discover more about this service industry. @pwc_uk_careers #chesterfield365
On Wednesday 19th June, 11 pupils form Chesterfield High School took part in a Science and Technology Challenge day. The challenges included programming robots, diagnosing patients and creating efit profiles of suspects. Pupils were allocated groups and scored on their participation, engagement, teamwork and success in each challenge.
Chesterfield High pupils, Penny Page and Kirsty Hartley-Robinson, were in the winning group for the final of the robotics challenge.
The overall winners of the challenge day were Nell Phillips and Evie Harris who will be participating and representing Merseyside in the regional finals.
All Chesterfield High School pupils who took part were exemplary in their levels of effort, engagement and behaviour.
Well done to all Year 9 pupils who participated.
Mr. Weston and Miss. Craddock.
The A-level Biologists were invited into the Institute of Ageing and Chronic disease at the Liverpool University campus to find out what research they carry out and what they need to do to become real scientists.
It was an amazing experience, allowing them to talk with research scientists that are helping to find treatments for eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, and also how we may be able to combat the effects of ageing on our bodies in the future.
The students went on a 2 hour tour of the institute, observing scientists carry using complex and expensive equipment, such as electron microscopes and gene machines and preparing live cell cultures in specially adapted sterile laboratories. Throughout the tour, scientists gave friendly and helpful advice to the students regarding careers in science.
An incredibly interesting day!
This year, Chesterfield High School has been encouraging all students to study STEM subjects in the hope to tackle the gender divide in science and to encourage more students to consider STEM careers.
In October, a group of year 11 girls attended an Ada Lovelace day event at the NHS Blood and Tissue Bank in Speke. The students really enjoyed the day and even got to dress up as tissue bank scientists and see donor organs being created from different body parts.
More recently, a group of year 8 and 9 girls attended a Women in STEM day organised by the Crosby Soroptomists. The students really enjoyed the day and were able to talk to women who had varied careers in science from working as robotics programmers in Jaguar Land Rover to testing children with meningitis at Alder Hey Hospital. The events were a huge success and speaking to the students after the events it is clear that we are encouraging our girls to make their mark in the world of science.
Congratulations to Team Chesterfield for finishing sixth in the North-West Regional Finals of the UKMT Senior Team Maths Challenge. The annual event once again attracted some of the best mathematicians from 26 different schools across the region and involved 2 hours of mathematical problem solving. Demi Billington, Steven Jones, Tom Williams and Joe Evans made up the brains trust and in truth were unlucky to finish as low as sixth (a best ever finish for the school), answering correctly over 80% of the questions posed. Bluecoat won the event and now progress to the National Finals in London.
Our fabulous Year 8 dancers performed at the annual Wally Cain Contemporary Dance Festival in Southport on Wednesday 20 June 2018 in front of a sell-out audience.
The theme this year was 'Historical and Cultural Events' which allowed different schools to produce a variety of performances ranging from the miners' strike, the suffragette movement and the two World Wars.
We chose to perform our dance 'Emotions around War' with 20 pupils demonstrating the pain, suffering, violence and strength of character that war creates.
The performance introduction was "Our journey starts with soldiers struggling to adapt into everyday life once the war is over. Their memories take us back to gruelling regimented training and dangerous battlefields as they risked everything to fight for our country."
All of our pupils performed brilliantly and the audience was clearly impressed with the maturity and sensitivity our pupils conveyed given the topic choice.
With acrobatics, delicate duets and trios, synchronised sections and large ensemble sections our performance was a rich array of movement perfectly timed with lighting and music to create a meaningful and convincing performance of 'Emotions around War'.
The performance received a rapturous round of applause and the pupils were a credit to our school.
We had our first practice session in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in preparation for our Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition. The session ran from 10am to 4pm on an unfortunately dull day. In the morning rain was heavy but when it brightened up towards the afternoon the whole experience became very enjoyable. The instructors Pete and Doug taught us how to row and steer effectively, as well as teaching us the different parts of the boats such as the gunwales and bow. This required practice and we were given the opportunity to do so, each person had a turn of being at the front and the back of the boat. By doing this Pete and Doug ensured we had a rounded experience of the roles in controlling the boat.
We figured out the correct partners to work with in the boats due to the importance of balance and trusting each other. Testing this, we canoed at least three miles down the canal which was successful as the whole team managed well. We even experienced facing challenges such as going underneath a small bridge which required us and our partners to work together in planning how we were going to successfully get ourselves and the boat underneath without damage.
As a final point Doug and Pete finished off with giving us some key tips and guidance with what to do or bring to the actual expedition such as buying knee pads or a mat to protect our knees in the boat, which was helpful advice.
Finally thanks to Mr Ward and Mr Hynes for supporting us on our first Gold training experience, hopefully we will have better weather for the River Dee training session!!!!!
Gold Team 2018
Thursday the 15th March was a memorable date for the Chesterfield High School students who attended the Sefton Duke of Edinburgh Award presentation ceremony. It was held in Southport Theatre and over 100 students received their award presented by the Mayor of Sefton at either the Bronze, Silver or Gold level.
Over 20 % of the entire awards presented in Sefton went to students at Chesterfield High School – an astonishing achievement! To complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award, students must complete a sport, a skill, carry out voluntary work and participate in an expedition into the countryside and camp overnight. Students have the option to do the Bronze Award in Year 10, the Silver Award in Year 12 and the Gold Award in Year 13.
It is fun, challenging, worthwhile and looks great on your CV. Get involved!
29 students from Year 11 and Year 8 have been rehearsing a dance for this year's culture and diversity concert which is held on Thursday 22nd March at Southport Theatre and Convention Centre. This year's theme is "Love around the World" and we have chosen to focus on dance movements from Africa and Brazil. This lively six minute dance piece is performed to two songs by Shakira's Dare and Waka Waka. I am incredibly proud of the students' work ethic in creating the dance and look forward to the final performance.
This half term Year 7's mastery topics have been angles, triangles and quadrilaterals. We have explored estimations, constructions, reflective and rotational symmetry as well as angles and properties of polygons.
Our most recent lessons have been about tessellations of shapes and we explored when and how these work. Two of our Year 7 classes tried an NRICH challenge, which is a maths website run by the University of Cambridge. We tried the investigation, 'shogi shapes' and submitted our solutions to the website. This week our solutions have been published on their website and can be found by pressing the following link:
Well done to all the students involved and who have managed to get their solutions published on a website used by over 80 countries!
