Learning is going through disruptive changes with the unbundling of higher education. Ankit Khandelwal explains how he created an alternative way to educate himself with a program of self-directed learning.
I have a major in chemical engineering and always loved complex engineering and mathematical problems. But in early 2012 I realized my potential in becoming a global business manager. In the past years, I had developed different skills as part of my long term plan of becoming a manager. The participation in the 9th European Open Days and the Young Environmentalist Camp gave me the confidence that I had the potential to handle complex situations at a global scale. My vision was to become a 21st century global manager in the next few years, combining my technical education, visionary thinking, the ability to take unexplored paths and managing difficult situations.
A global manager is the kind of person who is quick learner, has an interdisciplinary approach of problem solving, the ability to work outside his area of expertise if a situation demands it, someone who can work anywhere in the world, make decisions with the least amount of information available and can communicate with any kind of person.
Idea-gathering phase
I spent close to two months in finding what skills and knowledge I need to become such a person. I took full use of various employment survey reports, managerial issues faced by large corporation and many other studies to identify necessary skill-sets. In this entire exercise, I also used the help of LinkedIn and some of my social media friends.
I identified four major areas where I need to work further on top of my existing skill-sets and knowledge. They were interdisciplinary studies, international economics, globalisation & culture and future trends.
Another area I got interested in was urban planning. As the majority of the future population is going to live in cities creates lot of opportunity and challenges. I thought a future manager can at least have a good overview of this trend to accommodate rising challenges in this area.
Setting up my own program: Taking full advantage of open educational resources
What I am aiming to achieve might not fit into a traditional curriculum. In early 2012 I was financially not able to go for an expensive professional education, and I had no intention of falling under debt through study loans. As I already had been through a traditional education with two degrees from top universities, it was unnecessary for me to complete another degree when I was more concerned about developing my skill set. After careful thinking, I decided to create my own learning path.
Initially I was very uncertain, but the open educational resources, MOOC and many free learning resources provided me with an opportunity to develop a strong knowledge base. Apart from this, I also created my own environment to test these skills in the real world by reading 8-10 newspapers from different parts of the world and using LinkedIn discussion forums to exchange knowledge.
This was my experimental journey designed to fulfill my own needs to gain the skills I was after. I really would like to emphasize that if one wants to gain knowledge in alternative ways, one just needs to find it, as there is so much knowledge available online and offline. With my project I want to show how to find such information, use it to develop skills and create an alternative way to educate oneself, without having too much money to spend.
Ankit Khandelwal is from India. A major in Chemical Engineering, in the early 2012 he realised his potential towards becoming a global business manager. He spent two months to find out what skills he needed and then, from May 2012 to June 2014, worked full-time on his 'Envisioning 21st century global manager' project, a customised project to equip him with the skill-set needed. This project was done with minimum resources and innovatively using the free available educational material online. Interested in knowing Ankit's journey? Visit http://www.ankitkhandelwal.in

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.
The other night Mark and I had a "date night" with Jafta. It was really cute. India spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa to get a little quality time in, and she went to a Gymboree class with cousin Tanner in the morning. So we knew we needed to frame it as a special night for Jafta. He was SO excited. In fact, he must have asked me 20 times what time our date night started, just to confirm it was really happening. He LOVES getting our undivided attention, and feeling like he is being let in on mommy and daddy's secret dating world.
So we went to Wahoo's, then Target (where he got to walk instead of ride in the cart) and then to frozen yogurt. He came home and we had another new treat: I had taped an episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos". Now this is not the typical tv fare that is on my DVR, but I had heard from a friend that her preschool-aged kids loved watching this show as a family. I had this fond memory of watching Dick Clark's TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes with my own family. My sisters and I would look forward to it all week, and just laugh and laugh together. I envisioned this being the case with my four-year-old.
I should add that we are a fairly stingy family in terms of tv watching. I think Jafta has seen a total of four differen children's series before, most of them on PBS or Noggin. Don't get me wrong, he watches a little every day. But the selection is limited. So to watch a "grown up" show was quite a stretch.
At the end of the evening, we told him we had a surprise and cuddled up on the couch together. I told him we had a very funny new show we could watch together. Only, instead of laughing hysterically, Jafta found the entire show to be a big exercise in stress management. He was deeply concerned for every groin kicked and every head bonked. He was devastated by the dad who fell off a sled. He asked "Are they okay? What happened to them?" about every person who tripped and fell. He seemed completely freaked out by the dogs who tugged on their owners pants, or knocked over a table full of food. He found the show to be completely humorless and utterly disturbing in every way.
I love my son so much, and this little quirk was somehow so stinking cute. He is such an empathetic little guy. He was completely unwilling to sit back and laugh at other people's expense (this is not something he learned from me). What a sensitive little soul. So a few minutes in, we turned it off, and let him process a bit about all those poor people who kept falling down and hurting themselves, and what a strange and cruel world we live in. And then we decided we'd stick to watching musicals for our family tv night.

I'm not normally one for lusting after shoes – especially heels.
In fact, En Brogue basically blogs my life mantra – no heels thank you very much.
However, I got an email from Selfridges today chatting all of their new shoes. I don't normally look, but today I did.
Today, I saw these shoes.
They are the Leilou leather sandal by Sophia Webster, and if you're flush you can treat yourself to them here for what I consider a pretty reasonable £595.
Unfortunately that pricetag takes them out of my reach, but I can still lust.
I just love them!
I love the pastel mix of the pink & blue, with the bold polka dots.
I love the humbug heel – it reminds me of Oblina from Real Monsters, which I loved.
What do you think of them?

Environmental Science and Engineering Seminar
Earth system response to massive carbon release: Atmospheric CO2, climate sensitivity, and ocean chemistry through time
Current global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from anthropogenic sources top most predictions made 10 to 15 years ago. If CO2 emissions continue unabated, several thousand petagrams of carbon may enter the atmosphere, causing CO2 concentrations to rise to levels not seen in many millions of years during Earth's recent history. A substantial fraction of the CO2 will be absorbed by the oceans, causing ocean acidification: a large and rapid decline in surface ocean pH and carbonate mineral saturation state, with potentially detrimental effects on some marine organisms. In this presentation, I will discuss the Earth system response to massive carbon release through time, putting man-made carbon emissions into a geologic and historical context. The rate of the anthropogenic carbon release is likely unprecedented during past several 100 million years. As a result, effects of future ocean acidification will most likely be more severe than during various past events, including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (56 million years ago). I will also discuss the lessons learned from case studies of past climate episodes for future climate change and climate sensitivity.

Very few things in life are as peaceful as early mornings. The air is cool, the sun is rising with all it's beautiful colors, and the birds are just beginning to chirp. The worries of yesterday have faded away and the opportunities of today are on the horizon. I've always thought that mornings were the best time to think and create.
No matter how beautiful the early hours of the day are, not all of us are born with the natural ability to wakeup at 5am and immediately jump out of bed to soak up all the magic. We'd rather hit the snooze button until our responsibilities come creeping in and demand our attention.
If you've been trying to wake up a bit earlier but have been struggling to get up and get moving, here's some tips that might help!
Set Yourself Up The Night Before
Set out your clothes, make your breakfast, pack your bag, and tidy up the night before. This way, when you wakeup, you don't have to use precious mental energy to do tedious tasks and you can enjoy your morning, peacefully. I find that if I go to bed with a clean place and have already set myself up for success the following day, I wakeup in a much better mood.
Make a Really Good Breakfast
There are so many reasons why breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we've been told time and time again. Eating a healthy and wholesome breakfast will provide you with energy and mental clarity. Not only that, if you make a breakfast that you're actually excited to eat, you're much more likely to want to get up in the morning. I mean, simply put, who doesn't love food.
Do Something You Love In The Morning
Do you love to play the guitar? Draw? Dance? Why not do these things first thing in the morning? You'll be getting that creative energy flowing and also doing something you love, which will make the rest of the mundane things you do during the day seem more fun, since you've already started with something you're passionate about and enjoy.
Go Outside
Soak in all that peaceful morning air and spend some time outside. This could mean going for a walk, taking some time to read outside, or just sitting outside with your dogs and a cup of coffee. If you live in a place where it gets cold in the wintertime, going outside first thing in the morning is probably not the most exciting thought, but you can still open a window and let the sunlight in!
Read A Motivational Book
Motivational books provide tools for becoming your best self and get you inspired to take action, which is exactly the type of push we sometimes need to get moving in the morning. We are all a combination of everything we consume on a daily basis; books, movies, and information from the internet. If you focus on reading positive books, especially when you wakeup, you're setting your attention to positive messages for the rest of the day.
Workout First Thing
I've said it before, but working out first thing in the morning is the best way to start the day because it gets your blood flowing. It also feels like an accomplishment to know that it's now out of the way and you don't have to worry about procrastinating, because lets be honest, exercising is one of those things we all know we need to do, but sometimes hate doing.
I hope these tips gave you the motivation you need if you've been wanting to wakeup at an earlier time. If you liked this post, don't forget to give it a like and share it with someone who could benefit from starting their day a bit earlier. Thank you so much for reading!
Until next time,

Treat social media content ethically on air
April 21, 2015 01:30
By Lynn Walsh, RTDNA Contributor
This week is Journalism Ethics Week and in today's journalism world of instant information and social media, being ethical seem more important than ever.
Whether you are looking at tweets, photos or posts online to use in your story, it's important to carefully think about what you are publishing and producing.
Below are some points to consider if you're going to use information or content from these sites.
Asking yourself, what type of access you have to the information posted, is very important. If you can only see the photo of John Doe because you are friends with him, is it OK to show that photo on TV in your story? I would argue it is not. But, if the same photo can be seen by anyone, so it was posted on his profile publicly, I would argue it is OK.
This is all about a persons privacy and expectation of privacy. If the person posted it and made it so that only his friends can view it, is it ethical to share with the world because you have access as an insider or friend? I don't think it is and wouldn't do it unless I had permission from the individual or someone speaking on their behalf.
Just because someone claims to be Mary Sue online, doesn't mean they are. Just because someone claims to be associated with a particular organization or individual online doesn't make it true. We have a responsibility as journalists to do our due diligence to verify the identity of the online profile and what is said on it. Use public records to help with this. Pick up the phone and call people or the organization to verify the association.
This goes for photos, posts and videos. Just because someone posted a photo or has it as their profile photo doesn't mean it is them or even associated with them.
Always attribute
If you are pulling the information from someone's Twitter feed or a Facebook post, say so in your story. Don't just say an individual said this and leave out that it was said on social media. Each social media site had its own lingo and culture. This can be important when telling your users John Doe did or said something. It also provides more insight for your audience into where and how you gathered the information.
Impact of sharing
While at a social media seminar, the presenter showed a photo of car crash scene on the interstate. A reporter had just arrived on scene, snapped a photo and posted it to Twitter. Great instant reporting. Well, what the reporter probably didn't think about was this: in the photo you could see the very badly damaged car. But, what you also saw was the vehicles license plate number.
That license plate number can make it possible to identify the owner. If you are just arriving on the scene of situations like this, family probably hasn't been notified yet. How would you feel if the family found out about the crash from your tweet? Think about this as you share photos and videos. Try to remember to look at the whole photo before posting and consider things like license plates.
If you are pulling information from social media you really have to give it complete context. If a post you are sharing from Twitter was from two years ago, mention that. I would go further to say, I think you should consider whether or not to use it at all. Just because it was said at one point, doesn't make it fair game in my eyes. Also, was it posted as part of a series of tweets or posts? Was it part of a response to someone else's tweet? Was the photo taken at a theme party of some sort and that may be why the individual is dressed that way.
You really have to think about whether or not the information or photos make sense to use in the context of the story you are working on. You don't want to misrepresent what you are presenting to the public.
How does your newsroom verify and contextualize social media content used in stories? Let us know in the comments below.

While the saga continues with all mankind, not being satisfied in what God has given them in respect with body shapes. You will find the individuals that not have enough butt to fill out their jeans. These kinds of body shaped people thrive to get ways to enhance the total amount of butt visible to the contrary sex, and to feel well about how exactly they look in certain attire. Alongside self-confidence, these specific things will undoubtedly be gained if it is learned bubble butt.
From the female aspect, most females do not have trouble creating junk in the trunk, and others have a direct physique. This means there's no cut waistline or curves. When a woman wants her butt to be bigger for whatever reasons, the key how to get a bigger bum to achieving this goal would be to decrease the waistline. Accomplishing a defined waistline without gaining weight can create an illusion of having a bigger butt, however, not really.
Most women's fashion items are created to cater to the small waist-big butt ratio. These clothes do not at all times fit a thick waisted individual. Consequently, how big is a woman's butt is measured having an average proportion of visual content. Exercising that works the waist muscles will define a waistline.
Men on one other hand sometimes don't have any butt either, for them the job of having a butt when one is not available is incredibly difficult. Most women prefer to see a person that fills out his jeans rather well in the back. Since men gain muscle mass faster than women, it will be a wise practice for a person without any butt to focus on muscles that work the glutenous maximums or butt muscles.
To sum it all up, there are exercises that are used to concentrate all muscle building tissue on certain areas. If you will want bigger booty, make certain muscle has been gained in that area. Fat isn't wanted by anyone whenever for anything.

|Our Rating
|Business / Investing Foreign Exchange
|Special Offers
|Bonus Available
Sales PerformanceI am an exceptionally fair reviewer and will always take as much into consideration as possible when taking you through all the rankings a product's obtained. For a start, I take a look at the sales numbers, which are provided by the payment processor used by the vendor. These figures are obviously crucial to you, since you need to understand how well an item has been selling so you can make your buying decision in as much of an informed manner as possible. The sales numbers are summarized by something the payment processor calls Gravity. Products are given a rating between 0 – 1000+ and this tells us how well, or how poorly it's been selling. In the case of Binary Options Power Signals, it has obtained a Gravity score of 4.12504. Now, I know from experience that Gravity might not be clear to people, so I made a decision to develop my own weighted ranking system. I find this a lot simpler to understand, so I I do hope you will too. I've therefore devised my very own weighted ranking system, which helps you to see clearly which products on this web web page are leading the pack or are at risk of relegation. My system ranks products between 0 and 100 and achieves this by comparing the product under consideration to all the others on my web page. I've given Binary Options Power Signals a rank of 4.08/100. This would mean that it's not doing well at all, particularly in comparison to other products I've evaluated.
Does it get a lot of refunds?Now, I mentioned earlier that I'd guide you through similar products sold by the product owner so you could have a fair chance at seeing which product would possibly suit you the very best. The Overall Rate of returns takes into account every one of the retailer's products, not just Binary Options Power Signals, so don't forget this when it comes to the ranking itself. The ranking will be between 1 and 5. If you see a product with a score of 1, it means the refund rate's pretty high, which isn't so great. On the other hand, if a product's scored a 5, this means the number of returns have been low, which is fab! A score of three in all likelihood means the product hasn't been around too long yet, so we might have to wait several weeks until we get more data and a more accurate score. With this score system in mind, Binary Options Power Signals has been rated at 3. What this means is the overall refund rate is really reasonable and certainly nothing to worry about.
The site's domain – what you should knowI'm now going to talk to you about the actual domain where you can purchase the product from, binaryoptionspowersignals.com. It's important, when searching for any product you should buy on the internet, to research the site so that you can evaluate how long it's been around, how trustworthy it is and how much of an authority in its particular specific niche market, it is. The more you can find out about binaryoptionspowersignals.com, the better as it will give you great understanding of whether or not you should risk buying Binary Options Power Signals. The best place to begin is checking how large the site is – how many pages it's got. Now, it's time for us to look at back-links, which are links from other web-sites back to this one. These are useful because they help us see how much authority a website has in its specific field. Another really good way to find out about a site's trustworthiness is to take a look at the number of back-links that they have. These are links that come into the site, from other web-sites. Of course, the more back links a web site has, the more we can say that they're an authority in the niche market because others want to link across to them. Looking at binaryoptionspowersignals.com, we can see that they have . This gives it an authority score of 0.00/100. This is a very low score, however, being positive, with time this could improve. Something I've learned from playing a countless number of sports through the years is, you've got a better prospect of winning if you know as much as possible about the team you're playing against. I use this same logic when buying anything on the web. This can help since it means I am not tricked or conned into making a snap decision. Instead I investigate the company or individual I'm purchasing from. Regarding this vendor, we can have a look at their domain registration details. For example, I can tell you that it was registered under DOMAIN PRIVACY SERVICE FBO REGISTRANT. If you would like more details about this registration, please click here.
Is the merchant selling other products?What additional products is this merchant selling?. There's currently 1 additional product for sale from this retailer. There's no harm in finding out about the additional product. After all, there is no pressure to buy and it also helps you work out what kind of product owner they are too. Here is the product list: Binary Options Forex Signals ($27.00) .
Where to BuyI truly enjoy spending time on the internet, whether I'm checking out the latest football scores, reading news articles or even researching multiple product prices. However, I know the last thing I've listed, in particular, can drive others crazy and you will end up spending too much time scouring the net searching for the best price. In this instance, however, you simply have one place to go. You won't find this for sale offline or any place else online in fact. It's only available by visiting binaryoptionspowersignals.com. In the case that you're not able to find what you are looking for on the web site, don't stress. Check to see if you've got any unopened emails in your inbox or even spam, as these may contain the special or the link to the product that you're after. The hyperlink to buy the product will always be detailed somewhere in that email. A lot of people complain they can't find something first, only to find it's actually their mistake, they just haven't looked hard enough. Check first, complain later. Or, you can use any of the relevant links above too. Clicking on any of them will guide you through to the relevant product page, where you can make your purchase.
Bonus OfferI mentioned at the very start of this run-down, that it's feasible for me to obtain a commission in return for you choosing to buy a product after clicking on one my links. To level the playing area, I'd as a result like to give you a perk. Simply click here to find out more about this bonus.

What is the best diet to feed our adult cats?
Commercial 'complete' diets usually contain the right balance of nutrients for your cat to allow them to thrive. Cats are pure carnivores – they get all their nutrients from meat and protein found in commercial complete cat food. Some brands are more consistent with their ingredients than others, the higher priced diets are usually more regulated – the most regulated being 'fixed formula' diets.
Many commercial diets have different options for your cat's 'life-stage'. Adult diets are usually fed from 6 months to 8 years of age, senior diets are often advised to be fed after 8 years of age. There can also be sub-categories within these, such as neutered, working dogs etc. It is important to feed your cat the right 'life-stage' diet because their nutrient requirements will vary as they grow.
We recommend Hill's VetEssentials pet food because of their fixed formula and good range of life-stage options. Plus, their diets contain added clinically-proven benefits such teeth cleaning kibble technology and balanced minerals to maintain good kidney function, healthy bones and joints.
Save 10% on VetEssentials food when you join our Health Plan.
How much should adult cats be fed?
The amount you need to feed will vary depending on your cat's weight, body shape and the type of food you feed. On most complete cat foods there will be a guide based on your cat's weight on the back of the packet. Your cat's weight will also correspond to a 'body condition score' BCS, which is marked out of 5. An ideal score is 3.0, cats with scores above 3.0 are considered overweight and should have their diet altered to help them lose fat. Equally, cats with scores below 3.0 are classed as underweight and should have their diet changed to encourage weight gain (see the chart below).

Rotherham United are analysing dozens of job applications before deciding on their next move in their search for a new manager.
There has been a flood of interest in the post vacated by Kenny Jackett eight days ago, with more than 40 candidates having made contact with the club by the end of last week.
"What we are doing is taking our time to sift through them and hopefully something will come out of the canvas that we can work on," chairman Tony Stewart said.
Stewart likes the idea of a boss with a big personalty after the success of previous encumbents in the hot-seat Steve Evans, who led the Millers to two promotions, and Neil Warnock, who kept them in the Championship last season with an 11-match unbeaten run.
"I have stated that, if we look back, the people who have been successful in my journey have been characters," Stewart said. "You look at the likes of Steve, with his characteristics. He is very strong and animated and had lots of buzz. Neil came in and he was animated with lots of buzz and was enthusiastic.
"You have to look at a CV and an interview and see if everything ticks all the boxes. Mentality and psychology are things that come into play, but they are not easy to recognise.
"We will probably go to a second or even third interview to make sure we have got that person with the characteristics to suit this club."
Paul Warne has been placed in temporary charge and is one of the bookmakers' favourites to be the next boss, but the fitness coach doesn't want the post on a permanant basis.
Former Millers manager Ronnie Moore, who has just left non-league Eastleigh, is also high on the bookies' list along with Southend's Phil Brown and former Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins.
Warne has added ex-Millers player and assistant manager John Breckin to his backroom staff until he hands over to the new man.
Stewart revealed he is still intends to upgrade the Millers' training facilities at Roundwood which have been blamed in some quarters, in part, for Jackett's shock resignation after just five matches at the helm.
"At the end of the day, we have a nice stadium and the training ground is under review," Stewart said. "But because we lease it and it is not ours, there are certain obstacles we have to get over to be able to do up those premises.
"We have had the architect in and are doing some planning and moving forward on that. Yes, I would have liked it to be quicker, but, at the end of the day, Steve Evans never used to murmur about it.
"The groundsman makes sure the pitches are superb. We have spent £250,000 down there already and we only lease the place. I don't think a guy has left because the training ground wasn't right."
Meanwhile, Rotherham, who were last night drawn against Oxford or Macclesfield in the third round of the FA Cup, have confirmed the appointment of a new head of recruitment but aren't naming him while he works his notice at another club.

The French Parliament recently implemented its ban on the full Islamic face veil, calling it "an affront to the nation's values of dignity and equality." The language of the law skirts around mentioning "Muslim women" and "veils," and President of France Nicolas Sarkozy and his supporting party staunchly claim banning the veil supports women's equality.
Does anybody else think that the French Parliament acted just as wrongly as some Muslim families who pressure family members to wear the veil? By passing this law, the French Parliament has accomplished the opposite of what it supposedly sought to do: it excludes Muslim women from unhampered public expression.
Sarkozy and his party believe banning niqabs and burqas will protect France's secular-humanist identity, but I fail to see how restricting an expression of one's religion encourages an open marketplace of ideas, the ideal modus operandi of secular-humanists. Some supporters of the law, like Sihem Habchi, a feminist Muslim and political activist who worked with the French government on the ban, believe the new law will help curtail the growth and influence of conservative Islam in France. Isn't this just a slippery slope fallacy, especially considering how few Muslim women (no more than 2,000) in all of France actually wear a niqab or burka? Forbidding the religious expression of a few women won't erase the reality that France has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe. Denying women the right to wear a veil won't guarantee them equality or negate the Muslim minority's influence. It's a minor cosmetic alteration of the French public that hurts individual women and does not benefit France as a whole.
So people who hate burkas and what they stand for won't have to see them again while shopping or eating out? Okay… well, it's legal to sport a swastika in France, and swastikas make a lot of people feel uncomfortable or threatened. However, because France has a burgeoning Muslim rather than a Neo-Nazi population, the most iconic display of Islam—the veil—seems menacing to those who fear for France's future as a secular, liberty-loving nation. Some may argue that Islam, like Neo-Nazism, features hate as its central tenant, but you can't judge all Muslims on the actions of extremists, which exist in every religion, whereas the crux of Neo-Nazism is hatred of non-"Aryan" people. It's a tragic folly that the French government passed judgment on all women who wear the veil; the French Parliament and Sarkozy deem that a veil equals oppression and ignores that some of these women are recent French converts. This ban only succeeds in attempting to erase a physical aspect of women's identities and making transparent the xenophobia of the French government.

Modern moms today, especially moms-to-be, tend to set up a target baby registry to help friends and relatives pick appropriate and mom's needed items for her upcoming baby. A baby registry was designed to give shoppers a simple and less creative way, as there is a set parameter on what to choose for baby gifts. The bottom line is, buying baby gifts from a baby registry is both simple and stress-free. Below are some tips and ideas on how to shop using a baby registry.
- View the registry either online or in a target store. With online, a click on the "Gift Registries" section of the site can lead to a certain baby registry. While at local stores, the information will come from the registry consoles that are often located near the store entrance. Then, find the registry by entering the name of registrant including the location.
- Browse and sort the baby registry either by category or price, depending on whether there is certain items in mind or should be more focus on sticking to a budget. Then, print the registry to serve as the checking list while shopping; if it is and online shopping, just simply choose from the list.
- Search the baby aisles with printed baby registry in hand to find still lacking items from the registry. Then, double check to make sure that items you are looking for have not already been purchased.
- Next, make a selection of desired items to buy. Popular selections are those that are daily essentials of babies like baby clothing, bibs, burp cloths, feeding bottles, baby blanket, crib set, baby toys and even nursery decors. Of course, there are some options like sticking to a certain budget amount and buy the most appealing one in a certain range of price; or buy a collection of smaller baby items and give them in baby bath tub, basket or other useful container to make a baby gift basket.
- Lastly, after purchasing baby items, the printed registry should be check by the sales associate so that purchased items will be noted on the registry.

Well, I happened to be driving by that same billboard yesterday and saw this…
Much better!
Ha! Awesome.
Too funny. Can't imagine that was too good for business.
But then they go and put pricing directly on the billboard?? They just lost at least 50% of the calls or visits that they would have gotten otherwise.

A productive afternoon rehearsal today, in a freezing room (sorry about that, everyone!). We blocked three and a half units -- about a third of Act One -- including the banquet-on-the-boat scene, which may be the most complex in the play. Despite the chill, everyone was energetic and focused, and we got things blocked efficiently. It was fun watching the stolid Romans degenerate into drunken revelers; we shall have to go back and reinforce their serious demeanours earlier on, in order to make that contrast more satisfying for the audience.
Today also marked the first rehearsal for Sheila, who is playing the Soothsayer. Doing her scenes out of order (we had planned to work her first scene on Tuesday, but the rehearsal got cancelled) made it a bit odd for her, I think; but in a way, it was a nice touch to have her appear so unexpectedly in a room full of "veterans" -- in much the same way as her character pops up amidst the Romans. It's always neat when life imitates art (just so long as our production doesn't end in tragedy, that is).
Coming soon: memorization tips. I promise.

Choosing the Right kind of Funeral or Sympathy Flowers
Sending sympathy flowers to a loved one at their funeral service is a common way to show your condolences. Expressing your emotions in words can be difficult at times. The meaning when sending flowers is clearly understood. When someone sends sympathy flowers to a service, it demonstrates their respect, sympathy and love. Sympathy flowers represent these emotions. Aside from showing your feelings, sympathy flowers provide a sense of beauty and warmth and the funeral or memorial service.
Choosing the right sympathy flowers should convey a message of sympathy, sorrow and love. The type of flowers you pick out should relay a meaningful message of your feelings. We've provided a list below of several varieties of common sympathy flowers and what they symbolize to help you make your choice.
Iris: Representing the Goddess Iris linking heaven and earth. For hundreds of years, Purple Iris were planted over the graves of women in order to summon Iris the Goddess to bring their souls to heaven. It's a popular choice with florists because of the bright color leaves and the flowers.
Carnations: The story of carnations is that they appeared on earth from the tears of the Virgin Mary. Carnations signify undying love. Each color of a carnation signifies something different. A white carnation signifies innocence and pure love. A pink carnation signifies remembrance and a red carnation signifies admiration.
Lilies: Often known to represent innocence which has been restored to the soul of the departed. A simple white lily symbolizes purity and majesty while a white stargazer lily expresses sympathy.
Tulips: Symbolize grace and elegance although the different colors also have meaning. White tulips symbolize forgiveness, yellow symbolize cheerfulness while purple tulips symbolize royalty. Perfect love is symbolized by a red tulip.
Nasturtium: These beautiful flowers symbolize patriotism.
Chrysanthemums (Mums): These are part of many assorted arrangements. White mums are often believed to symbolize truth.
Roses: Are a great choice as part of an arrangement. Red roses symbolize love, grace and courage. Pink roses express gentility. White roses express youthfulness, reverence and innocence.
Marjoram: Expresses consolation and comfort.
There are many ways to arrange flowers depending how you would like them displayed.
Baskets: Are a great keepsake. A unique alternative to the usual traditional pieces. Baskets can be quite long lasting gift which can also be sent to a private home. Baskets generally start at about $40.
Wreaths: Lillies, Snap Dragons, Gladiolus as well as roses are often used to prepare a wreath. Wreaths are often placed on the side of the funeral casket. Wreaths are more expensive than baskets and generally start at $130.
Sympathy plants: These are lasting tribute, and a continuous reminder of friendship and support you would like to offer during the grieving process. Plants start at $30.
Sprays: Come in both small and large sizes. Combining small flowers in shapes such as hearts and are often placed inside the casket. Half and quarter caskets sprays are generally placed on the lowered lid of an open casket. Spray of this size start at $120. A full casket spray will cover the entire casket, whether it is an open casket or closed casket and these start at $160.
Keep in mind that sympathy flowers are meant to honor the deceased while consoling the living.

The diary of a scout leader. Hoping to explain why the likes of me do what we do together including the good the bad and the ugly!
Monday, August 24, 2009
A little bit of fun for Monday! I thought I'd introduce you to ten things that I love that I really shouldn't. Things that I should be big enough and ugly enough to not enjoy or anymore, or that are just too crap or sad or tasteless that I should really like. But I do!
So here, without shame are (in no particular order) ten of my guilty pleasures.
1. Dairylea Triangles - particularly nasty as food goes, but lets face it, they bring out the kid in all of us!
2. Avril Lavigne - possibly the saddest thing on this list? Proof that I need to grow up?
3. Cold, tinned, new potatoes - most chefs would have a fit over this. And I like to it them straight out the tin. Pretty grim eh?
4. Peters Friends - a modern attempt at an Ealing comedy, totally cliched but still very funny and very touching in my eyes.
5. Baked beans with little (veggie) sausages in - on toast. Lovely!
6. Pretty much any Stephen King book - well why not have a bit of horror with your shredded wheat in the morning?
7. Processed Cheese slices - not quite as nasty as dairylea but getting there. Good late night munchy though.
8. Top Gun - totally awful film but lets face it we all saw it as a kid and wanted to be a fighter pilot. Go on, admit it!
9. The Levellers - perhaps I should be smoking weed in a field?
10. Vienetta - 80's kitch I know but lets face it, scrummy!
So what's yours?
1 comment:
- Five Chinese Crackers said...
I share four of your guilty pleasures, believe it or not! Numbers 3, 6 (except that one's not so guilty), 7 and 10.
To add to them:
1. Really bad 80s rock - like Whitesnake, Scorpions and Poison. I was into thrash metal during the actual 80s, so this is particularly guilty.
2. The Karate Kid. Same reason as your reason for Top Gun (except I've never seen Top Gun. I thought Tom Cruise was a twat at the time).
3. Superhero comics. Old issues of Power Man and Iron Fist are especially guilty, with Power Man's dodgy blaxploitation movie dialogue.
4. Flavoured milk.
5. Roadhouse, with Patrick Swayze. I once went to the crap bar in Covent Garden called Roadhsouse with a mate of mine who convinced his girlfriend at the time that it was a Patrick Swayze theme pub.
6. Megadeth.

Edinburgh City have made taken a third loan player from Hibs after securing New Zealand youth internationalist Andrew Blake on a six-month development loan.
The 21-year-old joins Easter Road team-mates Sean Mackie and Lewis Allan at Ainslie Park on a temporary basis, having signed a development contract with the Hibees in the summer.
Blake had spent his career in his native New Zealand prior to his move to Edinburgh. He began with Wellington Phoenix, who sent him on loan to Hawke's Bay United before spending last season with Eastern Suburbs. Blake has been capped seven times in total by the All-Whites at Under-17 and Under-20 level.
The defender was on trial with Inverness Caledonian Thistle this summer prior to signing on at Easter Road and featured in their final pre-season friendly against Berwick Rangers.
There was a departure from City on deadline day as well as defender David Verlaque left the club. The former Stirling Albion and Berwick player only joined Gary Jardine's squad in the summer but, after not getting on the pitch in City's last few fixtures, the former Dundee United youngster has been allowed to move on.

Pastors Dennis and Michaela Lee.
Dennis and Michaela have been married for the past sixteen years and have a blended family of four grown children and ten grandchildren.
Dennis Lee
Dennis Lee is a past business owner who operated a multi-million dollar office supply and equipment company along with several small businesses in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a Bachelors in Business Administration, a Masters of Arts in Theology from Talbot School of Theology, along with a Masters of Divinity equivalency degree from Fuller Theological Seminary.
After graduation from Talbot in 1995 Dennis took over as senior pastor of Hallelujah Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational church in Las Vegas, Nevada. After 10 years he moved to Mesquite, Nevada, where he is presently the senior pastor of Living Waters Fellowship, a Foursquare church.
Dennis is a prolific writer, writing two weekly columns in the Desert Valley Times, "Lessons in Leadership," and "Rediscover the Bible for Life." He also writes daily devotionals that he post on Facebook and to the church's webpage.
"I've had the pleasure of knowing Dennis Lee for the past four years. Dennis is gifted, diligent and courageous. As a pastor, he is committed to reaching and impacting his community and looks for opportunities to do so. He loves the Word of God and realizes how valuable it is in order to see true transformation take place. In working with Dennis, I've discovered a person who has strong ideas and beliefs, yet has humility and is teachable. As a writer, he is a gifted communicator and uses this gift to help people discover how great God is and how they can walk in His plan. I gladly endorse Pastor Dennis!"
– Kimberly Dirmann, Southwest District Supervisor, The Foursquare Church
Michaela Lee
Michaela has been a resident of Clark County for more than 44 years. She describes herself as being married to her best friend, Dennis.
Michaela came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior in January 1991. Over the years she has attended "Logos Bible College," and "Clark County Community College," where she completed two degrees. She has attended "UNLV" and in 2014 received a biblical degree in ministry and leadership from "Life Pacific College".
It is God who has placed within her the desire to teach and share His love with others.
"Although, Christ work in and through my life still has a long way to go. It is by His grace alone that my ministry to women, youth and children is based."
"What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 TLB)

"Not only does it explain what God "requires" of a Christian wife, but it explaines clearly how to obey God's commandments in order to become that wife. Get it, read it and profit from it." Amazon book description for The Excellent Wife.
This book has been mentioned as one of the best books on Biblical womanhood and as a must read for any Christian woman by many bloggers, podcasters and writers whom I have really enjoyed and learned from so I have had this book on my to read list for quite some time. This book wasn't available through my local public library system but I recently found an audio version through Christian Audio and was very excited to listen to it.
Unfortunately that enthusiasm didn't last. While I agree with many of the points that Martha makes in this book, the tone comes across as condescending and harsh at times. It is a challenging book and at first I thought it was just that I was having a hard time with the content because it was convicting me of things which I need to work on or improve but it was more than that.
The one big thing that sticks out to me as being just plain wrong (in my opinion, but also backed up by other biblical teachings) is that women are only able to glorify God through service to their husbands. Women and men were both created in the image of God to glorify Him. Yes, Eve was created second to be a suitable helper to Adam but the Bible says, "Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26 NIV (emphasis added by me)
We were created to work together with our husbands, to be partners and co-heirs of God's kingdom with them. And, yes, we are instructed in the Bible that wives are to be submissive to our husbands as they are the head of our household and God has given them that authority but they are not the ultimate authority, God alone has that position regardless of our gender or marital status.
Saying that women are to bring glory to God only through serving and respecting our husbands is creating a slippery slope towards making out husband an idol and giving him a place in our lives and our hearts that should only belong to God.
There are some positive things about this book as well. Martha uses scripture as her basis and quotes it often alongside examples from her own life. I especially loved her description in the beginning of the book of her life before becoming a Christian and her response to some of the teachings that she herself is now telling women are so important. It helps to know that I am not the only one who struggles with things like being a submissive wife.
As I stated before, there are many points on which I agree with Martha. I do believe we are called to be submissive to our husbands but that we are not called to be silent doormats for our husbands. In this book, she gives many examples of how to respectfully approach our husbands when we disagree about something, how to talk to them about their own sin and even what to do when they aren't responsive to what we say but we believe they are sinning and it is something that needs to be dealt with.
Another thing I really liked is the image in the beginning which shows the qualities of an excellent wife. I plan to print this out and add it to my journal so I will be regularly reminded of these qualities and work on them.
For the most part I would say this was a good book though it was difficult as well. I think some of my difficulties with it lie in the fact that I was listening to the audio version. I typically prefer physical books where I can underline and highlight and come back to things which are hard to swallow and the audio version doesn't allow for that. This particular audio version also wasn't formatted well, it was broken down into 7 parts, each about 70 minutes in length. This made it really hard to digest as there was a lot of information packed into each of those parts. I would have preferred to have it broken down further into chapters as the book is. Having the smaller sections would have made it easier to listen to a small chunk and then ruminate on that before jumping back in.
I know this is probably a confusing review but I am honestly conflicted on my feelings about this book. I plan to purchase a copy of this book and possibly the accompanying study guide at some point in the future and go through it more thoroughly. I think this is a book that needs to be read a few times to get the most out of it and I would highly recommend reading it with an open mind and heart and an open Bible so you can verify for yourself that she is being true to what scripture says.
This is definitely a case where one needs to use their personal discernment while reading to know what is true and what is leading the reader slightly astray. Most of the book is Biblically sound and gives wonderful information for wives but there are things that I disagreed with and will have to research further on my own.

Al Purdy Was Here – Celebrating the Life of a Great Canadian Poet
Al Purdy Was Here – Celebrating the Life of a Great Canadian Poet
Film at the Stockey will screen Al Purdy Was Here next week, on Thursday 10 March at 7 pm.
Al Purdy Was Here debuted at The Toronto International Film Festival last fall to a sold out house, the 2nd Runner-up for the Grolsch People's Choice Documentary award. Since then screenings of the film have been filling theatres across the country.
Al Purdy was a poet – one of our best. From 1965 when his book Cariboo Horses won a Governor General's Literary Award his reputation grew. He went on to publish 33 collections of poetry, a novel, volumes of essays and correspondence and a memoir.
In the late 1950s Al and his wife, Eurithe, cobbled together an A-frame cabin on the south shore of Roblin Lake, near Ameliasburg, in Prince Edward County. They lived here until Al's death in 2005, though they also owned a home in Sidney, British Columbia where they spent winters for many of their later years.
After Al's death Eurithe was considering selling the A-frame when she was approached about allowing the building to be purchased by a non-profit group so that it could be used as a place to honour Al's memory and host residencies for young poets. The building had been neglected for some time but it had been home to Al and Eurithe, a place where visitors were always welcomed and hospitality extended by the Purdy's to their many friends. Young writers often sought them out – many who are now the who's who of Canadian Letters. Eurithe agreed to the sale, and The Al Purdy A-Frame Association was born.
In 2013 the A-frame Association hosted a very successful fundraising event at Koerner Hall in Toronto. The event featured performances by writers, poets and singers – all filmed for posterity.
Marni Jackson, one of the members of the A-frame Association asked her husband, Brian D. Johnson, to have a look at the film, maybe do some editing so it could be used to promote the project. Brian, a former film critic, and President of the Toronto Film Critics Association, realized that he was looking at the beginning of a much larger project, one that would find him becoming the Director of Al Purdy Was Here.
The Association has now restored the A-frame itself and is at work improving the writing shed where Al spent much of his day. The foundation has been replaced and work will be done this year to make the building usable once again.
The film Al Purdy Was Here is a gift to those who knew Al. There he is in all his glory, tall and loud, in his plaid pants, reading from his work, or talking about it for the camera – including some quite hilarious archival footage of Al being interviewed by various television journalists. Al Purdy Was Here is the perfect combination of archival footage and film shot in the studio with a brilliant cast of Canadian writers and singers, including Margaret Atwood, Joseph Boyden, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Sarah Harmer, Steven Heighton, Dennis Lee, Katherine Leyton, and Michael Ondaatje.
Al Purdy was one of many Canadian poets and writers who were part of what we now realize was an incredibly dynamic and vibrant time in Canadian literature through the 1960s and 1970s.
Most wonderful about the success of this film is that there is now a whole new generation of young people discovering Al Purdy's work with such enthusiasm. Though Al Purdy was awarded the Order of Canada in 1983, and the Order of Ontario in 1987 he was an unassuming man. He'd have been both honoured and humbled by the film and all of the attention it has brought to his work.
The screening of Al Purdy was Here will be followed with an appearance by Director Brain D. Johnson, producer Jake Yanowski, and/or screenwriter Marni Jackson (in person or by Skype) who will talk about the film and answer questions from the audience.
Film Night at the Charles W. Stockey Centre has become one of the most anticipated events in town, for good reason. Don't miss the opportunity to see Al Purdy Was Here on a big screen, in an acoustically perfect hall, with comfortable raked seating. Add a glass of wine and some popcorn. Perfect.

ADELANTO � Pastor Carol Hollis' energetic and articulate voice echoed like soul music in an apartment commons room packed with nearly 30 followers.
Most of them were children not yet in their teens. But the 58-year-old captivated her young audience using simple but strong language, often mixing jokes and gestures.
Along with her two sisters, Hollis has changed the lives of hundreds of children throughout the High Desert during the past 11 years with her passion and devotion to God.
Carol, Barbara and Diana Hollis founded Youth on the Move for Christ Apostolic Outreach Ministries in 1999. Since then, the sisters have reached out to offer moral guidance and keep children out of gang violence. They've also provided the needy with clothes and school supplies so the kids can focus on education.
"They're like role models to us," said Shavonne Mayhan of Victorville, who attends their services five times a week with her five children. "They're the ones I call when I need help. They're available anytime, 24 hours a day."
Although they've never owned a church building, the Hollis sisters have ministered children and adults at homes, apartments, community centers and parks. In 2003, they held a carnival in the middle of the street in a Victorville neighborhood infested with gang actives. About 70 kids flooded the street and some of them were baptized on the spot.
"When someone doesn't have a car, we go to their homes and have a church service," Carol Hollis said.
The non-profit doesn't take monetary donations. Instead, the sisters encourage people to deliver the money to Hometown Buffet in Victorville to finance an annual pre-Christmas dinner. In addition to their usual church services and Bible studies, the sisters bring children's choir to visit senior and convalescent homes in the area.
The sisters moved to the High Desert in 1998, which they say was God's will. Before starting Youth on the Move for Christ in the High Desert, they were evangelists at a church in Los Angeles.
Carol Hollis said she was at New Bethel Hi-Desert Apostolic Church for a three-day revival when God told her that her new beginning was in Victorville. After a couple of days, Carol and Barbara Hollis packed up their stuff in a U-Haul truck and moved Up the Hill. Their young sister soon joined them, quitting her job.
"We were never out of sight of each other," Barbara Hollis, 61, said. "We were never 2 miles, at the most, apart from one another. We were always a close-knit family. That's why we all relocated to the High Desert."
The road hasn't always been so smooth for the Hollis sisters. They don't have a van so they had to use their own cars to drive kids who don't have transportation.
When Diana Hollis moved here, she lived next to a gang house. She said the members tried to harass them when they were cleaning the neighborhood.
But they never gave up. It was the their strong family bonds that helped their success during the past decade.
"Strength to me is that unity and love," Diana Hollis, 57, said. "When one is tired, we know that we can still carry on. It won't stop us, and we can keep on moving."

To remove perspiration stains, lay the stain over clean white blotting-paper, and sponge with equal parts of alcohol and ether mixed. Rub dry, then touch lightly with household ammonia. If this leaves a blur, rub well with powdered French chalk on the wrong side. The blotting-paper prevents the fluids from forming a ring around the spot.

So many things to share.
Here's the rough overview: I started a big project that I can't (shouldn't) be talking about just yet, Mr. Goulet and I moved in a dream of a new apartment, so I now have an appropriate office/mini studio, oh and I won an award -- yadda yadda. There is more, but I'm going to cover all that in a proper journal entry later.
For the last handful of years, I've made time to take a self-portrait for my birthday. I'm not entirely sure what my goal of this project is, other than a trip around the sun feels like a good enough time to do so.
This year, I decided to check off something I have had on my bucket list for some years now; make a room into a camera obscura. Here is a link explaining for those unfamiliar.
So, my bedroom is essentially a large camera right now, and I love it. And since I'm an overachiever, I wanted to see if I could use it as a light source for a portrait.
For the photograph, I decided not to fight the inevitable blur that comes with a longer exposure, and instead play with it, which in hindsight feels fitting because this is a pretty good representation of how the last few weeks have felt. (More on that in another post.)
So anyway, I'm thirty. That's what my current face looks like after three decades. Huzzah.

Dried apricots are not only excellent general health-improving remedy. This dried fruit can prevent and alleviate anemia, heartbreak, diseases of gastrointestinal tract, and also improve vision. If you eat dried apricots permanently, you can avoid embolism or the appearance of solid tumors; your skin stay young for long and hair – strong.
Dried apricots contain more potassium than sodium – this explains its excellent dietetic features. And also it contains so much magnesium, that many experts recommend to treat anemia and hypertension, common diseases of our time, with dried apricots.

Pledge to #RunClean
We're calling on all runners to join our #RunClean campaign, because we feel very strongly about the litter problem in road running. It's time to clean up our running act!
Here at Modern Athlete we have made it our mission to promote a cleaner sport and try to eradicate the litter problem in our races, by launching the Modern Athlete #RunClean campaign and continually reminding runners to think before they throw. Because we believe that every piece of plastic not dumped on the road is a step in the right direction, which will not only lead to less litter, but in the long run to less waste being produced by our sport.
What you can do to #RunClean
• Carry your own water in a hydration backpack or water bottle belt, so that you don't need to use the sachets. (Some runners say it weighs them down, and thus slows them down, but trail runners seem able to run quite comfortably and quickly while carrying water, so surely road runners can also do so.)
• Don't drop your sachets (or other refuse) in the road – always look for a bin, or carry your rubbish till you can throw it away, even if that is at the finish. It really won't weigh you down that much, or cost you that much time to move a few metres towards a bin!
• Wear running kit with a pocket or pouch (or make one with your licence number) so you can carry rubbish to the next bin or the finish.
• If you do drop a sachet in the road, do so within easy distance of the water tables, in demarcated litter areas, not three kays up the road, so that the clean-up crew can quickly, easily and safely clean up.
• Never toss a sachet where it cannot be seen by the clean-up crew.
• On windy days, make doubly sure your litter is well disposed of in bins or rubbish bags.
• If you see fellow runners littering, try to diplomatically suggest a cleaner attitude going forwards, but avoid getting into an argument or confrontation.
• Make a point of being a cleaner runner by promoting a no littering rule, not only in your own behaviour, but also in your social media comments and interaction with fellow runners. Include #RunClean in your Tweets and Facebook posts.
• Volunteer to help clean up at a water table at an upcoming race. That should make you think twice about tossing your sachet next time…
Think before you throw - #RunClean
We would love to hear from you about your efforts to #RunClean, so send your letters, photographs or ideas to email@example.com.

Postal News Roundup
March 26, 2015
Government Executive: Future of the Postal Service: End the Monopoly or Grew New Business?
Postal experts and economists sparred at a panel discussion Wednesday over whether the cure to what ails the U.S. Postal Service is more competition or new streams of revenue.
Federal News Radio: Should the Postal Service Go Into Banking?
Consider this: Post offices sell money orders and conduct international transfers. Would it be such a big step to expand into the banking world via debit or prepaid cards?

Strippers in the Modern Times
Strippers are exotic dancers that have an occupation that involves dancing while undressing their clothes to excite the audience in a club. In the old days, strippers were only the female dancers that exhibited their bodies but nowadays there is also male stripping in clubs. Stripping has received quite an endorsement in the society nowadays where even some states have legalized the stripping profession. Classes have emerged that help tutor the act of being a stripper and websites and videos posted on search engines have been a guide on how well to perform the act.the Stripping act has been divided into four main acts that are striptease, pole dancing lap dancing cage dancing where many of the dancers have specialized in one or two of the same. Strippers will differ in different countries where the act is entirely legal; the strippers tend to showcase their nudeness while in those states that the law is illegal, they will only portray the partial nudeness. There have been a noticed rise of the stripping activity with the stripper agencies rising where they act on behalf of the strippers in finding the available stripping jobs. The agencies work in such a way that they are responsible for finding the available jobs to the strippers only after they have performed and uploaded a video of them in action in their agencies websites. The strippers have a ranking, and different strippers are endowed with a professional title and are very highly paid.
strippers will not entirely own their job as strippers, but they are hired by club and parties owners for their services though they act differently while in the act. Countries will differ with some enacting the law of legal stripping therefore having bills passed and laws that protect the rights of a stripper and be respected as a job like any other.As much as strippers go out on the poles or the cages for their act, many males who come to the stripping club may think of the intimacy that they may provide. People who did strip once will find it hard for them to join and connect with the society as the stigma might be real. Strippers will try not to associate themselves with the profession as it sounds immoral in the eyes of the society. There are some of the strippers who will come in small and appealing masks to the audience to hide their faces.
The Strippers must show a high level of confidence when performing the act as it supposed to be appealing in the eyes of the customer. Strippers may at times receive exploitation from the customers or the management of a club as people view them as sexual objects. The act is an income generation and profession as well.
