Each One Teach One | City of Ideas
Issue to be Addressed:
The issues to be addressed are self-esteem, optimism, and career development. Many boys of color do not see or interact with the successful men of color who are living, working, and being good role models in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan communities. Boys of color often do not get the opportunity to meet and know men of color who are police officers, firefighters, plumbers, electricians, business owners, bus drivers, and construction workers. By meeting and knowing these men, boys of color can begin to envision themselves in those professions – leading to seeking and entering careers and vocational jobs in these fields.
The current paths for young black boys are the cemetery, the corner (the streets), and the cellblock (jail). This project hopes to deter the current negative paths for black boys to ensure their future job and career prospects.
The collaborative efforts of The Osiris Group, EOTO, Inc. – Each One Teach One, and The Osiris Family Institute LLC will address career development, career awareness, and career exploration for black boys living in Boston.
The dismal employment outcomes for young black males are the direct results of the large number of incarceration rates of this population.
Project Proposed:
The proposed project is a career development program targeting black boys. The goal is creating career awareness, assisting with career exploration, and supporting career-planning process. The project's goal is to foster future career and job paths for black boys. The project consists of presentations, activities, discussion forums and career day event for black boys to get to know men of color who are in the "blue collar" workforce and other professions. Presentations will be held on a monthly basis at designated locations in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan.
The presentations are to provide an opportunity for practicing professionals to reach out to the younger generations. The presentations are intended to spark interest and inquiry about career opportunities in the field.
The activities are to create hands-on learning and interest by visiting job sites, and/or shadowing a professional.
Quarterly, a discussion forum will be held for the boys who participated in the presentation and activity sections of the project to provide feedback about their experiences. The discussion forum will assist them with creating more awareness, exploration, and development about future careers.
Yearly, a career day event will be planned to further expose various career opportunities to the participants in the project.
Role of Collaboration:
The Osiris Group Founder/CEO, Larry Higginbottom hosts a television series on Boston cable channel 23 titled "The Black Perspective" and a radio series on WILD AM 1090 titled "Families Do Matter". Through the use of multi-media and business contacts, Mr. Higginbottom has a long list of black entrepreneurs and professionals with a range of experiences dealing with education, counseling, and workforce development.
EOTO, Inc. – Each One Teach One was formed to offer mentoring services to boys of color between the ages of 9-18 who are involved in the foster care system. EOTO, Inc. recognizes that the children in foster care represent an overwhelming number of the unemployed, incarcerated, and homeless population upon turning age 18. EOTO, Inc. provides the mentoring for black boys to overcome the bleak future that awaits them by creating and facilitating innovative connections between urban youths and black professionals across all career fields and jobs.
The Osiris Family Institute LLC receives referrals for Therapeutic Mentoring services from parents, schools, and other community referral sources for services through the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI). The Osiris Family Institute, LLC is well known and respected in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan communities for its support of children and the services that teaches children of color a healthy worldview. Through the use of Therapeutic Mentoring services and referral sources, the Osiris Family Institute is already in a place to support and engage boys of color for this proposed project.
The Collaborative Boston prize would enable the collaboration of The Osiris Group, EOTO, Inc., and The Osiris Family Institute to improve the lives and futures of black & brown boys and young men of color by addressing a crisis that paint a bleak future for inner city young men. Many young men of color grow up in our communities with an absence of positive male role models. They are more likely to fail academically, resort to a life of crime, and go to prison. This collaborative effort can combat these challenges, with the belief that young inner city men could attain high levels of success and strong work ethics if provided with quality career development that include career awareness, career exploration, and learning about the career-planning process. The collaborative effort is designed to engage young men of color with the social support and guidance of mentors. Mentoring brings exposure to positive professional male role models.
The prize would help this collaborative effort with planning, community assessment, initial staff training and recruitment. The prize would also help with administrative, operating, and infrastructure cost to support coordination including resource and referral, as well as marketing, evaluation and monitoring of the project.
The collaborative effort of The Osiris Group, EOTO, Inc. – Each One Teach One, and The Osiris Family Institute LLC is a new and innovative way of providing mentoring services to children of color where schools and other community agencies are not meeting the challenges of the crisis facing boys living in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan communities. The most underserved population at the forefront of this crisis is the boys of color who are involved with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
The collaborative effort of The Osiris Group, EOTO, Inc., and The Osiris Family Institute LLC with the use of the Collaborate Boston prize can provide the formal and informal mentoring needed to assist the most underserved population – boys of color living in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan to learn and gain a better understanding of career development.

Fire Alarm Systems - Museums
23rd October 2017
23rd October 2017
A museum is a building which houses objects of a cultural, artistic, historical or scientific nature which are stored and exhibited. Museums are permanent institutions within society and are open to the public, whereby a lot of research, exhibitions, committees and academic trips are carried out.
In early September 2003, a fire broke out in the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull, West Midlands at around 5pm. The fire began due to a used cigarette that was thrown into a designated smoking area where it ignited a pile of cardboard boxes containing air-conditioning filters. The fire spread rapidly as the museum did not have a sprinkler system, however, the building did have fire detection equipment which contacted emergency services in minutes.
Around 120 firefighters were sent to tackle the blaze which could be seen from 15 miles away, however, appliances were delayed due to the rush hour traffic. Once the firefighters arrived, the fire was put out after roughly an hour and a half.
The severity of the fire was significant, over 600 vintage machines were destroyed, 60% of the building was ruined and three out of the five exhibitions were unsalvageable. With the best efforts of the public and staff, 300 historic motorcycles were saved, however, 380 were destroyed.
The total cost of the fire in damages was calculated to be around £14million and it took 15 months and additional costs to rebuild the museum, this included a £1.2million sprinkler system. Once renovations were complete, the museum reopened on 1st December 2004, a year and two months after the blaze broke out.[1]
There are many risks associated with museums:
It goes without saying that reliable fire detection systems should be installed within museums as they hold sacred, irreplaceable objects that are not only expensive but mean a lot in history. As well as this, museums are open to the public and it will put the lives of young children, students, workers and the elderly at risk if a fire detection system is not in place.
Eurofyre offers several cost-effective solutions to help keep buildings safe from fire. Eurofyre believes that each client should have the opportunity to choose their own fire detection system maintainer and, therefore, offer an 'open' protocol solution.
There are a variety of fire alarm systems used in museums, the most effective being:
Eurofyre's very own ProFyre range of analogue addressable fire detection equipment was designed to comply with the latest international standards to offer full, high-quality fire detection and is the ideal choice for museum protection.
The ProFyre A4 panel is the perfect choice for large sized properties due to its modular nature. It supports up to 8 loops with up to 250 addresses per loop. The A4 panel can be installed alone or with the ability to listen to other nodes on a peer to peer network facility.
In comparison to the A4 panel, the ProFyre A2 fire alarm panel is the ideal choice for medium size properties that require less than 256 devices, 8 zones and 2 loops with no cause & effect programming.
The ProFyre T8 2-wire addressable fire alarm panel is designed to use the ProFyre range of manual call points, addressable detectors, sounders and ancillary devices. The T8 offers all the advantages of an addressable system, with the simplicity of a conventional system, making it the perfect choice for small to medium size properties.
The ProFyre C24 panel is ideal for medium-size properties as it is a fully-featured, expandable panel available in 8, 16 or 24 zone versions. The C24 panel is also easy to commission, install, maintain and operate.
The ProFyre C8 on the other hand, is a compact, cost-effective conventional fire alarm panel that is available in 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 zone versions, making it an ideal choice for small-sized properties where an easy to install automatic fire detection and alarm solution is required.
Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) is another effective solution for protecting museums from fire as it provides a high coverage for large areas and offers a very early warning of fire, allowing for a quicker evacuation.
ASD allows pipes to be hidden above ceilings and in wall cavities, giving the installer the opportunity to create discrete sampling holes without affecting the aesthetics of the property. Aspirating Smoke Detectors are also highly sensitive and can detect smoke before it is visible to the human eye, therefore, providing a very early warning of fire to prompt investigation.

GP's study predicts contract will hit morale
NICE is in discussions with the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry over ways of improving implementation of its guidance.
The move follows the decision by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network to formally collaborate with the ABPI on the implementation of its osteoporosis advice.
The GPC condemned the association, saying 'any formal link could be misconstrued' and expressing concern at the growing links between guidance committees and the pharmaceutical industry.
SIGN's collaboration with the ABPI is the first of its kind and involves joint websites, conferences and workshops.
NICE has not yet discussed 'guideline-specific' issues and admitted firms would work harder to implement guidance when their own products were recommended. But it plans to consider applications to collaborate on implementation 'on a case-by-case basis'.
Dr Chaand Nagpaul, GPC prescribing sub-committee member, called such collaborations 'inappropriate' and said: 'It is important for SIGN and NICE to be seen to be truly independent of industry.'

Book & Author Details:
Miss Misery Series by Tracey Martin
Published by: Samhain Publishing
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy
Synopsis book 1:
It s all quasi-legal fun until somebody gets framed for murder.
Jessica Moore thrives on misery. Literally. Thanks to a goblin's curse, she gets a magical high from humanity's suffering. A shameful talent like that could bury a girl in guilt, so to atone, she uses her dark power to hunt murderers, rapists and other scumbags until one of them frames her for his crimes.
In desperation, Jessica seeks refuge with the one person she trusts to not turn her in, a satyr named Lucen. Like every member of his race, Lucen uses his lusty magic to control Boston's human population, and Jessica isn't immune to his power. But the murder victims belonged to a rival race, and when they discover Lucen is harboring Jessica, dodging the cops becomes the least of her problems.
With only five days to find the real killer, Jessica faces a danger far more serious than the brewing magical war. The danger of succumbing to Lucen's molten seduction.
Warning: Contains a heroine with a lust for misery, creepy murders, and creepier goblins, satyrs so hot you'd sell your soul for one, and scaly sewer rats masquerading as dragons. Who said magic was all sparkles and tiaras?
Synopsis book 2:
Lust can be downright lethal.
Thanks to her freakish, satyr-like power, Jessica Moore was denied her dream to join the Gryphons, the magical law-enforcement officers protecting humanity from the pred races. But after the Gryphons tried to arrest her for murders she didn't commit, Jess is no longer interested. Too bad—they are.
Now that they know what she can do, they want Jess on their side. If she doesn't agree to help them solve a new case, they'll charge her with every magical crime she's ever committed.
Nine people are dead. The cause? Exhaustion. The activity? Never-ending sex. Someone sold them tainted F, an illegal aphrodisiac made by satyrs. No surprise, Jess's satyr allies aren't pleased with her investigation. Worse, it strains her tenuous relationship with Lucen, the one satyr she counts as a friend.
As Jess delves into the shady satyr business world, she unravels a scheme more sinister than dirty drugs—and her relationship with Lucen unravels right along with it. Only the truth will save their friendship. But not before it turns Jess into an ambitious killer's next target.
Warning: Contains blackmail, betrayal, and sex that's literally to die for. Plus plenty of bad stiff jokes to go with it. Remember, just say no to magical drugs.
Synopsis book 3:
When it comes to magic, more isn't always merrier.
Keep letting the Gryphons blackmail her? Or join a goblin for tea? Choices, choices.
Furious at the Gryphons' betrayal, former vigilante Jessica Moore is determined to cut the law enforcement agency from her life—and hopes doing so will solidify her rocky relationship with Lucen.
When a friend's soul is sucked dry by a goblin, Jess finds it's not so easy to let go of her past. Unwilling to let down someone who needs help, she puts aside her anger to work with the Gryphons and solve the case.
A stolen soul isn't her only problem. Boston's goblin leader is calling in the debt Jess owes. To plug the holes in both her personal and professional dam, Jess must unearth information about a magic she never knew existed, all the while testing Lucen's patience and stirring the wrath of old enemies.
What she discovers will reveal the terrifying truth behind the Gryphons' treachery, and force her to choose where her loyalty—and her heart—truly lie.
Warning: Secrets will be revealed, friendships will be tested, and old enemies will pick fights. On the bright side, there are still naked satyrs for a distraction between battles.
Synopsis book 4:
Red sky at morning, satyr take warning.
Jessica Moore is about to lose her you-know-what. She did the impossible by convincing the Gryphons, the magi, the satyrs and the goblins to work together to stop an apocalyptic prophecy from coming true.
The one thing she can't do? Make them trust each other—which means their plans are already falling apart. With Gryphons and satyrs making plays for her loyalty, Jess is ready to cut the crap and kill everyone herself.
The tentative alliance disintegrates even faster when a key member is murdered and Jess's supposed allies turn on her. Grieving will have to wait. Right now, she's forced to work closely with her least trusted coworker to flush out the culprit, even as she pushes Lucen away to keep him safe.
Dangers that will test her freakish powers await in the Alps, and this time Lucen isn't there to guard her back. Even if she finds what she's looking for, it'll come with a fury-ous heap of trouble.
Warning: Sticking four enemy groups into a conference room is the definition of hell. Throw in a murder, a kidnapping, and a not-so-fabulous trip to France, and you know what? The apocalypse isn't looking so bad. As long as it doesn't involve PowerPoints.
Synopsis book 5:
Sometimes everything goes to hell. Sometimes hell comes to you.
Jessica Moore has one hell of a to-do list. 1) Bring the fury who attacked her friends to justice. 2) Obtain the last item required to relock a magical prison. 3) Save the world by actually relocking the damn thing before its demonic prisoners escape.
But with a red sky enveloping the earth, humans and nonhumans alike are panicking, and the crazy fringe is getting violent. Anti-magers-humans who want to destroy all things magical-are waging war on Jess and her friends.
Then there's still the problem of the key. It's the last item Jess and her allies are searching for, but legend claims it's trapped within the prison itself. Someone will have to go in there and face down the demons to find it.
Naturally, guess whose strange power is the only thing that might succeed? Even with Lucen at her side and a Gryphon army at her back, this might be too much for a misery junkie to handle.
Warning: Blood and tears will be shed, sacrifices will be made, and more secrets will be revealed. So kiss your loved ones and hold your weapons tight. No one ever claimed the apocalypse would be fun.
Tracey Martin grew up outside of Philadelphia, the lucky recipient of a drama-free childhood, which is why she spent so much time reading about other people's lives. It was while she was working on her doctorate in psychology that she had an epiphany–imaginary people are way more fun than real ones. And so she began writing. Never able to choose just one of anything, she currently writes both urban fantasy for adults and contemporary stories for teens.
She likes her coffee simple, her music epic, and her movies to contain explosions. A city girl at heart, she doesn't understand how she and her husband ended up living in New Hampshire, but writing keeps her off the mean, small town streets. You can find her online at tracey-martin.com.

Crimea - welcome to feel the wind of time
If you are tired of resting, you should take a glimpse into the past millennia, as Crimea virtually reflects the history of mankind. The fates of the Scythians and Hellenes, Romans and Genoese, Turks and Tatars, Russians and Ukrainians and other nationalities have their footprints here.
If you take a closer look at the history of this area, you may even find a part of your country's history embedded here. The streets of Ancient Khersoness and the ruins of Panticapeum in Kerch tell one about a once mighty Greek settlement. Numerous fortresses on the Black Sea coast remind one of the Genoese. Additionally, there are lots of monuments of Muslim Crimea – don't miss the Khansky Palace in Bakhchysarai having a special role as an example of Islamite East in Southern Europe. So-called cave-cities are a special glimpse in the history of Crimea. Crimea's unforgettable places and museums welcome you.
National reserve "Khersoness Tavrychny"
- Sevastopol, 1 Drevnya St.
The town of Khersoness was founded by the Greeks in the 5th century B.C. One can enjoy the opportunity to walk along the streets of this ancient town, examining the collection of amphorae and coins, and take in the ancient theater built within the temple of Melpomene.
Architectural-historical reserve Genoese Fortress
- Sudak
In terms of its importance and preservation the Genoese Fortress in Sudak is the most famous in the world and is second best only to those of Italian heritage. The fortress was built in 1371—1469 on the fortress hill. Every consul taking up his duties in the town considered it a great honor to leave memories by means of building some construction. This was the way the fortress had been built for centuries. If you look at the fortress walls and towers, a mosque and a consul's castle, you will learn about the Italian coat-of-arms.
State historical-cultural reserve in the town of Bakhchysarai
- Bakhchysarai, 133 Richna St.
One of the most prominent places in the reserve is the Khansky Palace (16-18 century) built by Italian, Iranian, Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian masters. Mighty Crimean khans once ruled from this palace. Cave-cities Mangoop-Kale (6-15 centuries), Chufoot-Kale (5-19 centuries) and also the complex of Uspensky (dominion) Cave Monastery (13-15 centuries) are also parts of the reserve.
State historical-cultural reserve in the town of Kerch
- Kerch, 5 Aivazovsky St.
The ancient town of Pantikapeum, is also the site of the ancient settlement of Nimpheus, Mirmeky, Tiritaka, the stone crypt of Demetra, which is included on the UNESCO list and also Melek-Chesmensky and Tsarsky Kurgan (Grave Mount) are within the territory of this reserve. The treasures of the mighty Bosporan state are exhibited inside the Hermitage and the British Museum, but here you will have a better idea of the era with two new expositions called "The Gold of the Bosporus" and "Original Weapons", were opened in 2003.
The museum of gliding
- Koktebel village, 12 Kuibyshev St.
There are only two museums of gliding in the world. One of them is in the USA and the other one is in Crimea, in the village of Koktebel. Koktebel is the cradle of gliding, aviation engineering and space explorations. Such famous Russian and Ukrainian aircraft designers as Antonov, Yakovlev, Ilyushin and Korolev originated from the local school of gliding. And it was in Koktebel where the first glider with a jet engine was launched. The exposition tells the history of gliding and aviation and also about prominent figures in aeronautics.

Mandy Wolfe has informed Aaron that she sent the first email to me (see The E-mail That Started it All). She also informs him that I have not responded to the email yet. There is a huge winter storm and Wednesday services are cancelled at Aaron's church. Aaron and his friend *****, hear that John MacArthur is speaking at Cedarville for the Bible conference so they decide to drive out there to hear him speak. Aaron immediately sees me sitting in the second pew in the center of the auditorium. After the chapel ends, I sit and talk with two of my friends about their upcoming wedding. The conversation is very, very long and eventually, the only people left in the auditorium are me, my friends, and Aaron. At one point Aaron looks down at his Bible, when he looks back up, I am gone. He quickly sees that I am walking toward the back doors that I had disappeared into last time. He rushes towards me and yells, "Jenny!" I turn and he proceeds to explain who he was and then he says "You are strikingly beautiful and you took my breath away from across the room". We then exchanged e-mail addresses.)
*I am keeping names of other people in these email's private unless they have expressly given me permission to include them.

Jennifer?, Jenny?, Jennie?, Jenni?, Jenneeeeeeeeee? 😉
Okay…….. maybe some of those are a little bit of a strrrrrech, but which one is it anyway?
Hi:-) I have to be really honest right up front… I have no idea what to write about 🙂 I've been thinking about it all day, I've even asked friends for advice, and I haven't made an inch of headway:-) On one hand, I want to find out as much about you as possible. And on the other, I don't want you to feel like you're playing Twenty Questions. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…………… this is so stressful:-) This is a really awkward position for me because I am never at a lack for words:-) Oh well…… here goes:-)
Let me start by saying "Thank you so much for being so kind and gracious last night!:-)" I don't know how I would react if someone I didn't even know approached me like that. Your kindness and caring were greatly appreciated:-) I don't know very much about you, but I can see already that even as strikingly beautiful as you are outside… that's a mere compliment to the beauty God has created inside of you:-) and like I said, our time on earth is just too short to live with regrets. I was already regretting Friday night because I wanted to talk to you at intermission, but I couldn't muster the courage, and when I finally did find enough courage to talk to you afterwards, I couldn't find you:-) and then last night… I could never have lived with myself always regretting that I didn't meet you:-) I didn't want to interrupt you. But I gotta be honest… sitting there was killing me:-) Out of desperation, I turned to II Timothy 1:7 — "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, and of love and of self-discipline." Now granted, when Paul was writing to Timothy he wasn't referring to Timothy's demeanor in approaching a girl so beautiful he had to remember to breathe. But it took every ounce of power, love, and self-discipline to hang onto the bit of courage I managed to scrape together. I say all that to say this. It was worth every little bit of effort:-)
Well, I could go on forever, but I'll spare you:-) I was thinking of something we could do with friends. And although I have no idea what you're interested in besides music and God (yes…. I did see you raising your hands during some of the worship songs;-) I figured you would probably love to do anything not at or around Cedarville? Well, anyway… I thought maybe a Superbowl party would be fun? I could invite a bunch of friends from church, and you could invite anybody you wanted to. My parents have a seven passenger and an engirt passenger van, and if you really had a lot of people that wanted to come… I could get my church's fourteen passenger van — and I wouldn't mind at all picking you guys up, and dropping you all off afterwards. We could have snacks, maybe pizza, pop, board games, cards… oh yeah… and of course a tv.
I could get a Superbowl half-time video, and invite some unsaved friends. After all, you never know when or how God will get through to a person;-) I don't know…. just a thought. Sound fun? Well, let me know what you think:-)
In His Service,
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
Gal. 2:20
><///'> read John 15:4-5 <' \\\><
P.S. Sorry I'm smiling so much……….. I just can't help it:-) 🙂 🙂 🙂

well, hello there 🙂 You can call me anything between Jen and Jennifer, and I will probably answer to it. I must say that I am quite impressed that you have done so much just to get to know me, I am also quite humbled. Thank you for all of the kind things you have said, even though I don't know if I deserve them all. And I think that I am the one who is a at a loss for words 🙂
well, as you probably can tell, I enjoy meeting new people, especially those who share the same passion for God. I am an outgoing person and I am always eager to make new friends. however, in the past, I usually take the first step in meeting new people, so this is a little different for me. I wish more people were as eager to make my acquaintance 🙂
well, I talked to my roommate and she said that she would like to go to a super bowl party and some of my other friends might like to go too. I have a car, so I can drive myself and some of my other friends drive too. Just let me know when and where and I will let you know how many I will be bringing with me. I am looking forward to seeing you again!

"Anything between Jen and Jennifer",
Well…. I guess it works…. but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue;-)
~~"You can call me anything between Jen and Jennifer, and I will probably answer to it."~~
Okay, maybe that was uncalled for:-) But I'm still a little curious… if I was going to address an e-mail to you as "Jenny", how would that be spelled…. Jenny…. Jennie…. Jenni? 🙂
Frankly,…. (Did I just say "Frankly"?…. I don't think I've ever used that word before… And I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing:-)… anyway…
Frankly, I have a hard time believing that you have to take the initiative to meet new people the majority of the time. Are you quite sure about that? You seem like the kind of person who attracts attention from everyone:-) I know you sure got my attention!:-) I share you enjoyment for meeting new people. And like you said… "especially those who have a passion for God." That's one thing that always amazes me. No matter how different people are (ie. background, upbringing, culture, location, education, financial status, even language) when they both have a REAL passion for God… there's an instant relationship that's as if they've been best friends from birth:-) That's part of the reason I'm so interested in you. I really don't know much of anything about you, but I've already see your love for God. And I've already seen Him shining through you:-) I guess that's what's impressed me the most about you:-) I mean sure… your beauty left me speechless, but what little of your heart I've seen has left me breathless:-)
I'm glad you're going to be able to make it for the Superbowl party:-) And please….. feel free to bring as many friends as you want… there will be plenty of food, fun, and space to go around. I've mailed you a map and instructions for getting to my house. Plan on 45 min. to an hour for the drive. And you can arrive anytime after 5p.m. on Superbowl Sunday. There's no need to bring any food, but if you have a favorite game that you want to bring… be my guest:-) I would appreciate an approximate # by the 29th… if that's not too much to ask:-) If you have any questions… ask away:-)
I need to get to bed, but I wanted to share a passage with you that I looked at in my quiet time. Luke 21:1-4 is speaking of Jesus and says, "And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins. (Mark says they were worth less than a penny). 3 And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them; 4 for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on." What would motivate a poor widow to give literally all she had to live on, her very livelihood? Especially when it equaled such a small amount. I think she realized that saying, "I love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength," is worthless without actions to prove it. It was just a fresh reminder to make sure that my life is always, and to the fullest extent — even if it costs me my very livelihood— reflecting the commitment I say I have for Him. I hope this passage challenges and encourages you to serve Him more fully today:-)
Looking Forward To Seeing You Again!,

dear aaron,
Hi there, how are things going for you? I am sorry that it has taken me a while to write back. things have been pretty crazy for me. and unfortunately I have some really bad news, I don't think that I can come to the super bowl party 😦 I am so sorry to back out like this. when I first said that I could go, I didn't realize what day we were talking about (i am not very football literate) It happens that January 31st is the same day of my interview at the Cleveland institute of music. i will be going home Friday night and I probably won't be home until monday. I feel so horrible about this. I really, really wanted to go. I can't believe it never occurred to me that both things were happening on the same day. if you don't mind though, I would still like to do something with you. please let me know and I promise to check my calendar first 🙂 I hope that you and your friends have a good time at your party. . .hope to hear from you soon!

Sorry about the heading:-( That was the only thing I could think to say:-( I was so looking forward to you being there:-( But don't worry… I know the best Counselor ever, and I'm sure that with his help… I'll survive:-) And you don't have to apologize. I know all too well from my friends there that Cedarville College students (especially music majors) are some of the busiest students of any college anywhere:-)
Apart from my recent e-mail… things here are going great:-) One of the neatest things that God is doing right now is through my friend *****. he came to church a couple of months ago (after being gone for about 7 years) and pulled me aside. He said, "I know I need to get my life right with God, but I just don't know where to start." Needless to say, I told him that I'd love to help, but I was just too busy and he'd have to wait a couple months. NOT!!;-) He rededicated his life to God, got right some sin issues, and this has been the most rewarding discipleship relationship I have ever had the privilege of having apart in. Do you ever just sit back and wonder why God would use you? Well, I know I do:-) ***** has really been growing. He's clearly in love with the Savior. It's so awesome to think that God would let me have a part in it!!!!:-) And what's more… God has used ***** to reach out to his friends. To date (and keep in mind… this has just been several months) two of his friends have recently accepted Christ, and one of his friends has recently rededicated his life. All of them are actively involved in the process of discipleship themselves as they seek to grow into closer and closer relationships with God. And that's not even mentioning all the other neat doors the Lord has been opening to *****. It is just so exciting to see the process of spiritual multiplication happening!:-) Our God is TRULY AWESOME!!:-):-)
Hey this interview sounds pretty exciting too!:-) Upon your certain acceptance;-)… how many years do you think you'll be there? And what exactly will you be doing there? Ohhh, by the way, you should receive something in the mail by the end of this week. I don't know if you even noticed, but the night we met, I was so nervous that I walked right out the door with something of yours. Curious? Or did you notice? Oh well, I guess you'll have to wait to find out. I thought about returning it in person, but I figured you'd probably see right through that excuse. Not too many people (including myself) would actually drive 45 minutes to return ___________ — you didn't actually think I'd spoil the surprise did you;-) Well, I wouldn't have been driving that far just to return that anyway:-) So needless to say, OF COURSE I would still like to do something with you:-) After all, it's not everyday (or any day for that matter) that I get the chance to have my breath taken away from across a room:-) I'll get back with you on that one (as soon as I figure out what to do:-)
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."

P.S. It's pretty neat how God works, huh? You see, I was so worried (or rather pre-occupied) with making sure that you would be impressed at the party. That i probably wouldn't have even noticed the non-believers that I'm sure God will have there. He takes such good care of me:-)
Another P.S. I'll be praying for you about this weekend. Have a great time at home:-)

I attempted walking across the complex the place I live but it surely has so many inclines and grades that I quickly misplaced curiosity in that. To not point out folks wanting me to cease and chat with them. Moreover, weather would often pose a giant problem. Too chilly or windy (generally each) within the winter and fall, rain in the spring and scorching sun in the summer. To add to all of that have been bugs and a slight worry for my own safety when strolling alone. Be casual, but neat. Dressing informal is A-OK as a sex immediate, as it exhibits you are laid back, perhaps a bit wild and able to have some enjoyable. Casual, nonetheless, can easily turn to cruddy and a complete turnoff when you interpret the word to imply sloppy." A comfortable T-shirt is one factor. A comfy T-shirt with stains streaming from the armpits and rips up the front is another. Yuck.
Amla is rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. So, this can treat loads of health points. You'll be able to prepare an answer by breaking an Amla or you should use Amla powder as effectively. It's also possible to crush an Amla and blend its juice with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Then you can apply the mixture in your scalp. After it gets absorbed by your scalp, you can rinse your head with lukewarm water.
Nap.Taking quick naps while driving the bus helps you recover required sleep time that you just in all probability lack the night time before. Many of us deprive ourselves of a good night time's sleep for varied reasons. According to Dr. Daniel G. Amen (2005)a famend Neuroscientist and Psychiatrist, individuals who sleep less are prone to weigh more. This is because our brain tends to exchange an excellent sleep with craving for extra calories.
Probably the most highly effective software of influence we've is to model good behaviors. We must always ensure we're engaged on our health and fitness on the identical time we preach to others concerning the value health, fitness, and participation in sports activities. Each of us could have our personal issues, objectives, and obstacles to living a healthy life-style, but we should try for excellence in this space. When we dwell it, we will feel the distinction. We'll find it a lot simpler to dream, act, achieve, and luxuriate in.
My daughter, who works, gets 70% of her health care covered by the state.(and this is identical for all workers). She opts to pay 20 euro per thirty days top-up right into a health insurance fund – the amount varies with the age of the person and any health conditions – but whatever the amount, all prices are reimbursed by the insurer. The sytem is totally automated and repayments into a bank account never take more than 10 days.

A Wrinkle in Time, an adaptation of Madeliene L'Engle's 1963 science fiction classic and longtime young-adult favorite, has been in development from Disney since at least 2014. Red-hot director and critical darling Ava DuVernay has been attached to the project since early 2016, and filming wrapped on the movie in March of this year. But we haven't seen a trailer for it until now.
The film, which stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and many more, debuted its first trailer on Saturday during a panel at the D23 fan expo. The panel was to hype upcoming live action releases from Disney, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, and A Wrinkle in Time got one of the biggest ovations of the afternoon.
DuVernay, lead actor Storm Reid, Pine, Witherspoon, Kaling, and Winfrey all appeared in front of the crowd to introduce the trailer and talk about the movie. DuVernay talked about how one of the things that brought her to the project was the opportunity to present a film filled with a diverse cast, which would represent what people who go to the movies actually look like.
Based on the reactions in Hall D23, people are very excited to see this movie, but go ahead and check out the trailer and see for yourself:
Elsewhere at the convention this weekend, there was an A Wrinkle in Time booth on the showroom floor, where fans could get a WHO & WHICH & WHATSIT shirt if they completed an interactive quiz that matched their personality with a specific Mrs. W. One would imagine there will be a whole bevy of AWIT cosplay the next time D23 rolls around in two years.
A Wrinkle in Time will be released in April of 2018.

I just flew back from Salt Lake City and downloaded 'The Hunger Games' series by Suzanne Collins for the trip. I bought all three books immediately because I know several friends who REALLY ENJOYED the read. One in particular (Hi Kyle!) I trust dearly, so I knew it wouldn't be money wasted.
Well, I read the first book in 2 days and let me tell you… it was GREAT!
The world Suzanne created is going to translate very nicely onto the big screen. This week it was announced that 'The Hunger Games' movie is scheduled to release in March of 2012. You have a few months to pick up this title and get through it. I highly suggest you read it before the movie. We all know how books never translate properly into film.
Anyway, while I was on the plane reading I had to literally control myself. There were 3 or 4 scenes that brought tears to my eyes. They weren't particularly sad scenes, but the way Collins wrote them really spoke to me. She tapped into something real for me and I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end of the book. The man next to me must have thought I was having a seizure. I had to use my entire body to NOT break down while getting through one of them. LOL!
I won't give anything away because I hate when I read reviews that do, but I am telling you to consider the book if you are up for something new. 🙂

A former Rugby High School student on a gap year in Nepal has stayed on in the devastated country to deliver aid to people affected by the earthquake.
Nettie Burd went to Nepal 12 weeks ago to volunteer at an orphanage near Pokara.
She's happy to embrace the experience and feels very blessedEileen Burd, Nettie's mum
She was due to move on to Bangkok, but decided to stay in Nepal after the earthquake.
She contacted her family at their South Kilworth home on Tuesday, to tell them she was still safe after the country's latest earthquake.
The 18-year-old's mum, Eileen Burd, said she was proud of her daughter for showing such compassion.
"She's happy to embrace the experience and feels very blessed. I don't think she realised the extent of the initial earthquake as there was no television or even electricity where she was.
"But we were at home seeing some horrific scenes on the news and we were so worried in the six hours we didn't hear from her," Eileen said.
Nettie contacted her family on Facebook around six hours after the earthquake on April 25 to confirm she was safe.
Nettie recently joined a five-day mission to deliver supplies to a remote village close to the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
She has set up a Just Giving page and is urging people to donate whatever they can.
Charlotte Marten, headteacher at Nettie's old school, Rugby High, said: "As a school, we were so sad to hear about the earthquake and the impact that it has had on the people of Nepal.
"We were delighted to hear that Nettie had survived the quake and that she is in a position to help those directly affected by this catastrophe.
"The students here have agreed to send £200 to support the work that she is doing. We are really proud of Nettie and her determination to make a difference to the young people of Nepal."

News flash: Cavaliers/Lakers in the NBA Finals. The Big 3 back in December were the Lakers out West and the Celtics and Cavs in the East. Two of those three were expected to meet in the NBA Finals. Not much has changed since, with the exception of all the injuries to key players preventing any other team from cracking that elite list.
Orlando? Certainly not a fraud, with a superstar center in 23-year old Dwight Howard and a sizzling road record. Alas, its best backcourt player, Jameer Nelson, is out for the season after recent surgery. That's why it traded for 10-year veteran guard Rafer Alston last week from the Rockets. He's a steady player, a good ball handler and distributor, but not a good outside shooter. The loss of Nelson was significant.
The Celtics have had minor depth problems, as their bench lost two key players from last year's championship team, big man P.J. Brown and do-it-all sixth man James Posey. Boston didn't add anyone significant during trade time last week. The injury to Kevin Garnett is significant in more ways than just losing a star player. Sure, he will be back in three weeks and likely healthy for the playoffs, but during that stretch Boston is going to lose ground on the home court battle with the Lakers and Cavs. Boston's home court edge in the 2008 postseason was huge, given that the Celts started 0-3 SU/ATS on the road.
Atlanta? Detroit? No and no. The Hawks have had injury concerns all season while the Pistons are an aging, dysfunctional, disinterested group under a first-year coach.
Out West, can anyone challenge the Lakers? On paper, the Rockets were an interesting collection of talent just waiting to get healthy for the playoffs to show how good they can be. But that plan is already in the waste basket with Tracy McGrady now gone for the year. They traded Alston, so now the backcourt is leaning on Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry.
They have a new look, too, as Rockets coach Rick Adelman wants point guard Brooks to start pushing the ball up the court at a faster pace to take advantage of his quickness. This is not going to be a run-and-gun team like the Suns or Knicks, however. The Rockets want to use Brooks' and Lowry's speed more, sometimes in fast breaks, but also in getting into their halfcourt offense to set things up for Yao Ming. Don't look for a huge change in offensive philosophy.
Don't ever count the veteran Spurs out. The knock on San Antonio was age and being more susceptible to injuries, and now Manu Ginobili is out with a right leg problem. They went 6-6 when Ginobili missed the first 12 games of the season and they started 1-1 with out him now. They need him back 100% and chasing the Lakers for the West's top seed is out of the question.
Denver? Hmmm. It's tough to get fired up about a Denver team that got swept by the Lakers last season, packing it in at home. Portland? The young Blazers are loaded with talent, but now center Greg Oden is out least three games with a sore left knee/chipped patella.
Finally, should we consider the Suns and their new coach an option to get hot down the stretch? That's certainly a possibility, as firing Terry Porter was just the medicine this veteran team needed, starting 3-0 SU/ATS under Alvin Gentry. But the team got bad news with forward Amare Stoudemire out eight weeks after retina surgery, possibly ending his season. And even if they stay hot, they are currently the No. 9 seed in the West, not even eligible for the playoffs yet. That's a steep hill to climb.
The Lakers expect center Andruw Bynum back for the postseason and they made it to the Finals last year without him. Plus, the Cavaliers have already recovered from their injury-problem with the Big Z at center now back and playing well. With too many "ifs" and "problems" with all those other teams, bring on a LeBron/Kobe NBA Finals! Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

How a Virtual Assistant can help you do Less Admin Work, to make you more Money
This article is specifically one for my electrical followers. As you would know, my background has strong roots in the electrical industry, and I see electricians struggling to manage their business quite a lot. By no means is this only applicable to electricians. It applies to any trade, and without a doubt most owner operators of any kind.
Working as an electrician, or any tradesperson for that matter, is a tough job and requires a person to work on-site with complete focus and dedication. However, when it comes to managing different tasks involved in running an electrical business, solo electrical contractors face a lot of trouble. This happens due to the fact that many electrical contractors do not have a staff to help with other tasks. In order to manage themselves in a more effective way, electricians can consider hiring a virtual assistant, which can help them with everything not directly related to their electrical work. Read on to find out how a virtual assistant can help you run a successful electrical contracting business.
Help Manage Schedule
When you have a lot of work to get done, it is easy to get overwhelmed and lose track of everything. In order to keep everything in check and to ensure that everything is streamlined, you can get help from a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant will focus on your routine admin and even marketing tasks and will help you manage your schedule in an efficient way. This will give you more time to focus on your main work, helping you earn more business.
Save Costs On Office Space And Equipment
The biggest and the most attractive thing about hiring a virtual assistant is that you do not need to spend extra money on office space and equipment. Virtual assistants manage tasks from their desired place. They also make use of their personal equipment including a computer system, Wi-Fi, table, and chair. This is a great way to get the much needed help without spending money on office space and equipment.
Get You More Business
A virtual assistant is someone who is experienced in working on a diverse range of jobs. Your virtual assistant will help build your social media presence by making use of their marketing and promotional skills. They will help create a website for you and make use of their PR skills to get you more projects. This is a great way to expand your business and increase your overall earnings.
Save Money
A virtual assistant is only paid by the hour, which means that you do not need to pay them for vacations and holidays. By hiring a virtual assistant, you also get to cut costs on super and other pay benefits. This means that you get professional help for the hours you pay your virtual assistant without having to pay extra for non-working hours.
Business Development
A virtual assistant provides complete support to your business by helping you with a variety of activities. These assistants are extremely helpful in keeping your business on the right track. A virtual assistant can also help manage deals, clients, and presentations on your behalf. So, even if you are on vacations, your virtual assistant will help increase productivity without making you lose any business.
When you want to put your complete focus on your tasks to earn more money, it is best to take help from a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant plays the role of a business partner helping you save time by gaining you more clients. These assistants have the potential to make you earn big without worrying about anything other than your electrician job.

Boston Estate Planning Law firm of Blake & Associates examines the upcoming 2012 Massachusetts probate law changes and how they will effect your asset protection and estate planning strategies. Massive overhaul of the Massachusetts probate law governing estates, wills, and trusts will be going into effect on January 2 of next year. Appointed fiduciaries, administrators, or beneficiarys of a loved one's estate, or people planning their own estate, need to be familiar with this information.
New 2012 Massachusetts Probate and Estate Planning Laws
Boston Estate Planning Law firm of Blake & Associates examines the upcoming 2012 Massachusetts probate law changes and how they will effect your asset protection and estate planning strategies.
Changes that will go into effect on January 2, 2012 include substantial reforms to key areas of Massachusetts probate estate law including:
- Which individuals will inherit when a loved one dies
- Procedures required to administer an estate or probate a will
- Interpretation of Estate Planning Documents
- Laws related to the administration of Trusts.
Changes to inheritance rules under the new law are sweeping. For example, after January 2, 2012, if a person dies without will, when only survived by a spouse and children of that marriage, the surviving spouse will inherit the entire estate. Under the current Massachusetts law, the spouse and children of the marriage would divide the estate in such a circumstance.
Caution will be key as practitioners and residents become accustomed to the new law. For example, one long standing Massachusetts Law was that Marriage revokes a will, unless that will was executed in contemplation of marriage. However, under the new law, marriage will not revoke the will. This and other major changes will cause many unintended consequences and will require careful review of Estate Planning documents to ensure they continue to meet their goals.
Massachusetts residents will be pleased with major changes associated with the time required to administer simple estates and other probate court actions. Under the current Massachusetts law, it can take from six weeks to five months to appoint a Permanent Administrator or Executor of an Estate. However, under the new probate law, a personal representative may be appointed as soon as seven days after date of death. Also, the new law presents an option for 'informal' administration of uncontested estates, which will allow for less stringent notice requirements, and less court-oversight and supervision of estate administration when family members and beneficiaries are in agreement.
Trust law in Massachusetts will also be modified. Most of the changes involve procedure and not substance. However, procedural changes can also have great effect on the rights of beneficiaries and the requirements of Trustees. One notable change is that testamentary trusts will no longer require accountings to the probate court. Also, all Trustees will now clearly be required to provide notice of their appointment to beneficiaries with copies of their appointment and copies of trust documents including list of assets and accounts.
These January 2 changes will increase the uniformity with the law of other states. Uniform Laws such as the Uniform Probate Code are drafted as the result of comprehensive studies and reviews of the laws of many states by joint committee. The legislation is reviewed by lawyers, judges, registers of probate, community groups, legislators, and representatives of banking and surety communities.
The January 2, 2012 MUPC changes will be the second stage of changes resulting from the Uniform Probate Code (UPC) legislation, which Governor Patrick signed in January of 2009.
The first part of the legislation, which implemented major changes to the law governing Massachusetts Guardianship and Conservatorship law, already went into effect in July of 2009.
For more information about how this new law's implementation will change your estate planning needs and options, please call Blake and Associates at 617-723-3224.

The cell utilizes a flooded gasket seal design to inhibit crevice corrosion between the sample and its holder.
ParaCell™ Kit for Flat Specimens
The Paracell Electrochemical Cell Kit is designed for convenient mounting of a wide variety of flat samples. The design of the ParaCell places the Working Electrode and either a graphite Counter Electrode or a second working electrode in an opposed geometry.
PTC1™ Paint Test Cell
The PTC1 Paint Test Cell is a low-cost sample cell for electrochemical testing of coated samples. The PTC1 can also be used to test bare metal samples using PortHoles Electrochemical Sample Masks.
PortHoles Electrochemical Sample Masks
PortHoles Electrochemical Sample Masks define a known area of the sample surface for electrochemical testing: 1, 3, or 10 cm squared. They also serve to reduce crevice corrosion when samples are sealed to a cell with an O-ring, as with Gamry's ParaCell and PTC1.
MultiPort™ Corrosion Cell Kit
The MultiPort Corrosion Cell is a one-liter cell that is designed to maximize flexibility. Its unique two-piece design can accommodate a wide range of sample geometries and makes it easy to clean. The cell top has seven access ports and is available in both a non-jacketed model and a jacketed version for temperature control.

Words can't explain how much I love you and how much you mean to me, but I will try.
Just thinking about how much I love you makes my head start to hurt and my throat gets tight trying to hold back the tears of love that flow for you. I am so lucky to have such a great dog for my first dog. I felt like I waited a life time for you. You are my first and only true love, my best friend and of course my precious baby boy. Sometimes I just look at you and all I can think about is how perfect you are–from the spots on your nose to your extremely cute, hairy paws. You mesmerize me with your icy blue eyes, the softness of your velvet ears and the silky hair on top of your head. Your sweet happy smile and beautiful coat along with your sweet, friendly, silly personality makes you my perfect boy. You are the dog I always wanted and dreamed of, even with your stubborn and crazy ways. I love how much you love me and everyone you see and meet. I love how you look at me and tilt your head and slowly move in and give me the sweets little kiss. You can always make me laugh with your beautiful, goofy smile and other facial expressions. I could just sit and watch you all day–whether you're awake or running in your dreams making the cutest little sounds. I always hope you have nothing but sweet dreams.
Taking you places is so much fun and slightly nerve racking at the same time. We both love the dog park, but I can't help but to be nervous. I'm so afraid another dog will be mean to you. I just want to protect you and always keep you safe. Every day on this adventure together I seem to get even more protective because I love you so much. You made my life better, you gave me a purpose and you give me so much love everyday–especially when I come home from work. You're always right there waiting for me at the doorway. You have given me so much and I want to do the same for you. I want you to have the greatest life and that is what I strive to do each and everyday. I want to be worthy of your love and devotion to me. I will spoil you with treats and lots of toys and big soft beds because you deserve it. I have no idea what life was like for you before you came home with me but now I know you have all you need and me.
The day I brought you home from the shelter was the greatest decision I ever made. I rescued you and you rescued me, too! I'm so proud of you and proud to be your mom. I hope you know how much I love you. I know I tell you almost 50 times a day and you put up with the hundred kisses I give you. The best feeling ever is my lips against your soft silky cheek, temple and the top of your head. Oh how I just love to lay behind you and put my arm around you and give you belly rubs as I kiss the top of your head. I love how you follow me around the house and never let me out of your sight. I feel so loved! You even stop eating to run and check on me. It is all so sweet! How you lay on the bathroom floor waiting patiently for me get out of the shower and the way you lay under my legs when I sit to blow dry my hair. Your loyalty and love me makes me feel so special and happy. So sweet you are! Even at your Grandparents house, you could be playing tug with your Grandpa in the living room yet you lay on the kitchen floor with me when I'm at the table. You get so upset and cry at the bottom of the steps if I go up and can't follow me.
No matter where I go, I will always be back for you. So many memories we have made already and many more to come. Thank you Sarge for everything! You are truly an angel disguised in fur. You are my world! I love you so much I can't stand it!
Breed: Husky/Akita mix (Huskita)

Many times a week we receive requests along the lines of "I want to sell online, can Magento do it?". Well yes it can, and that's the easy part. Many people underestimate the time and energy needed prior to launching an e-commerce site (and the effort needed after the launch as well, but that's another topic…). Based on our experience developing e-commerce websites, here's a quick list of things any clients wishing to "sell online" should seriously consider before establishing any sort of budget and time line. Obviously there's a lot more, but here are the most obvious from the top of our heads
- Who are you targeting? this will impact everything, from the languages of your website, currencies, taxes, shipping, etc…Seems obvious but it changes so many things. If you want to sell let's say to Europe, Canada and USA, well that's at least 3-4 languages, 3-4 currencies, etc…And do you need to sell to special groups, like B2B, or agents, on top of the general public? Right away, that's 6 different stores to manage, with different content and prices
- How will your customers pay? You only take paypal, or you want seamless credit cards transactions? If you deal with a payment gateway, you need a merchant account (for a new company this could take months to obtain), you need to buy a SSL certificate, you need to be PCI Compliant (the standards required to handle transactions online, like having a dedicated server, safe place to store data, never have access directly to credit cards number, etc…)
- What is your content? Yes ok you have products to sell, but do you have any text, marketing stuff, who is going to write your FAQ, your blog, the description for all your products? Most importantly, who is in charge of populating the website?
- How do you manage your inventory? Do you want to link your inventory to your existing ERP system? Are you sure you can easily import/export data from it or you need to build a new API? Do you want to invoice your clients through your accounting system or use Magento to handle all this?
- When you receive an order, what will happen? Who's in charge of delivering your products? What are your shipping fees? Are they too high, too low? Can customers pick up their products in store?
- Do you have any pictures? Do you need to do a professional shooting of all your products? You need consistent quality throughout, meaning angles, size, background otherwise the site looks unprofessional. Do you need to re size and crop all of them? If yes, who's going to do it?
- Does the platform answer all your needs? If not, how much extra development is required? Or do I really need all that? Case in point: a client wanted a blog with its new e-commerce site. Fair enough. But you need to create the blog (choose a module or a platform, create template) and most importantly you need to….write. The idea was discarded pretty fast because they did not anticipate the extra costs and especially the time needed to write meaningful and regular posts. There's nothing worse than a blog with 2 posts dating from 6 months ago (yes we take the blame too!!!!). Of course there are many more examples but I like this one because it's not a technology problem, it's a human/business one.
No platform is perfect and there will always be a need for extra modules, extra development, tweakings, etc….It is crucial to carefully review the standard features before assuming anything and prepare the budget accordingly.
Anything we forgot?

Isla Jean at 8 months old
It's a few days late but I really wanted to post an update on Isla.
I can't believe my baby girl is 8 months old already. Chris and I were talking in bed the other night and we were saying it seems crazy that she has now been born for longer than we knew I was pregnant! Life seems is so completely different now she is with us, and I can't even begin to think what it would be without her. She is my world and my life is so much better with her in it.
Isla's has changed so much over the last month. It really is crazy how much she has changed
Isla's first tooth broke through on 2nd December, and now she has another one through, and two more trying to make an appearance! Of wow, are they sharp! With the first couple of teeth she was fine, and you couldn't really tell she was teething. However, with these two new ones she has been a right Moaning Minnie! She's not normal though, our Isla. Typically, babies first teeth are the bottom two front ones, followed by the top two front ones. Not Isla. Her first teeth are the ones either side of these!!
Isla has become so much more vocal just in the last week or two. She babbles away constantly and has just developed a wonderful high pitched squeal when she is happy (usually when she is standing up!) She said 'Mama' a few weeks ago, but I think it was purely coincidence, as she's not done it since. Her favourite words are; Baba, Abba, Bubba, Bububububub. She also loves blowing raspberries!
We are still doing a mix of spoon fed and baby led weaning. It seems to be working well for us and Isla is trying so many new foods. We haven't yet found anything she doesn't like (including when she has a couple of links of my liquorice and a small bite of my pickled onion monster munch! Please don't judge, it's the only way I get to eat when she's sound without her having a complete melt down!) Over Christmas she ate Christmas Dinner, including sprouts, as well as rabbit and pheasant pie! This girl has got good/expensive taste! We're still breastfeeding as well, and it's going great. We are both loving it. At bedtime Isla is still having a bottle, and I think both Chris and I are enjoying this. Chris so that he gets that bonding tie with her, and me so that I can get some bits done around the house.
Isla is such a happy little girl, and it's something that so many people comment on. She really only cries when she's tired, bedtime is usually a particularly unhappy time! She is developing such a funny little personality. She will clamp get mouth shut if she doesn't want to eat anymore, but will then happily eat more if I put it on normal cutlery! She has also discovered it is fun to shake her head. I don't think she realises really that to us it means No, but she does it with such comic timing.
"Is Daddy funny?" *Shakes head*
*While standing up* "Are you standing? *Shakes head*
"Do you want some of Mummy's dinner then, if you're not going to eat yours?" *Shakes head while opening her mouth to eat Mummy's food!*
Just had Isla weighed, and she is now 7.901kg, which in old money is 17.4lbs. She is following the same centile line perfectly, just below 50%. I was convinced she would have put on more than this with the amoount of food she ate over Christmas!
Isla is such a wriggle bottom! She doesn't like to sit still really, or lie still, which makes for very interesting nappy changes, as she likes to roll over midway through! Having spent a long time making no effort to crawl for a long time, she has started to show a little bit of interest…mostly if her dummy is slightly out of reach! Isla's favourite thing at the moment is to grab anyone's hands and pull herself up to standing. And she rarely stands still. She will try to walk, or dance, or climb. She does not stop!
Sleeping I think on the whole is improving. We've mosty got it down to 1-2 wake ups during the night. These are very easily sorted with a quick feed in Mummy and Daddy's bed, where she promptly falls asleep, and is then carried back into her own room. The last couple of nights have been a bit more difficult…usually in getting her to sleep though, and I think that is mostly due to her teething. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to tackle this?
So that is where our gorgeous Isla Jean is up to at 8 months old. I can't get over how much she has changed, and she really is changing by the day. I can't wait to see what the next month brings.
