This is beautiful. I was always fascinated with my grandma's hands. Both my grandma's had very interesting hands and both were very different too. One grandma was a tiny wirey lady used to very hard work, cutting down trees and chopping them up for firewood, gardening and all sorts of outdoors work. Her hands were bony and calloused, well worn. The other grandma's hands were smooth and soft and beautifully shaped. Her life was hard too but she didn't have the same chores and the other grandma, but was mostly in the kitchen, baking bread and holding tired children.
Hands are fascinating. I believe they tell a lot about the owner.

I am endlessly fascinated by old hands. I find them beautiful.
Yes, I'm hoping we don't have a replay of last year, but the old folks here say thunder in February means hard freezes in May. We've already had one thunderstorm here and the weather does look awfully similar to last year. The lack of acorns in the woods makes the wildlife come closer in.

i remember one day a while back when i looked down at my hands while i was driving and thought, "look! i have wrinkles on my hands! Huh. i should tell my mom that her 'baby' has wrinkles on her hands..." but then i remembered she was gone, and we hadn't had that great a relationship in the last years, and i realized i still was having conversations with the kind part of my mom that lived in my head. Now my hands always remind me of that. But it would be nice to remember all the things my hands did, like holding my kids, and foster babies, stuff like that. Nice story.

Thank you all for your comments. Only another blogger understands how much those comments mean and how they can inspire you and keep you going.
I received this piece quite a while back as an e-mail and saved it. I had just a few days prior to that taken a look at my own hands and really scrutinized them. Remembering what they looked like as a teenager and then young adult with long manacured nails and rings on my fingers. I never hand tiny petite hands because I never was a tiny petite person. Just the same I was quite pleased with how they looked. From there I remembered sitting next to my mother as she lay on her death bed and holding her hand. Looking at those hands that had worked so hard all of her life. How her fingers were twisted (though not terribly bad) from arthritus. As I looked at my hands, I thought how much they are starting to show their age and look like my mothers.
Truthfully, I think they are hands to be proud of.
Bless each of you.

I made my first digital scrapbook! I was always so nervous about using my computer. I have been scrapbooking for 10 years and loved all the brads, papers, ribbons, tools, ect that I can see and put my hands onto. But I have learned that using my computer is alot of fun too. Go my He{art} for information about digital scrapbooks. This is where I got my templates and stuff. She is a blogger, scrapbooker and artist with an inspiring site. I moved things around and put my own pics using PhotoShop. Then I used Blurb to print the book. I love their quality! To see more pages from the actual book you can find it off to the right, just push on the book! Happy winter!

It was inspired by this article: http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/01/15/feminist_obsessed_with_mormon_blogs. I read it, very funny.
I would just like to say THANK YOU to Becca for showing the world what life is really like for mommy bloggers and just mommies in general. I think that in the church we sometimes compare ourselves to other moms. I know I do it. Their families come to church each week looking perfectly pressed, sitting so quietly in the chapel reading their books, and holding hands with big smiles. The truth is most of the time there was a disaster that hit the house in the morning, everyone was dragged to the car (with at least 1 of them crying), and life is not all together as perfect as we would like it to me. But here is the kicker. . . who cares! Life is messy. It may be a crazy life, but it's our life. My house is a disaster most days. I admit it. It drives me crazy. But between my work, playing with the kids, making dinner, washing dishes, washing clothing, and spending a little me time who has time to be a full time maid? Some days chicken nuggets will do for dinner. Some days I just don't have time to care that all my shoes have been thrown on the floor. I don't think the Lord is going to say to me, "why didn't you keep your house clean?" I think he is going to ask me how I treated my family and if I thought I was a good wife and mother. I would love to live in a home where all I had to do was play with my kids all day. . .but that is not life and I am okay with it.
Here is a look at might house today:
Elizabeth's room. Books, blankets, toys, Jackson's bed because he likes to sleep in her room every night.
My bed, unmade most days and on the floor because I still haven't gotten around to buying a bed frame. Ikea and hand me down furniture.
The kids posing in their mess. Jackson is still in his pjs around noon.
Elizabeth eating a marker, don't worry it is non toxic.
The family room/toy room. They take the train apart every day and ask me to set it back up every night.
Yup that is my life. Some days are better than others. Are you brave enough to show your life?

I hit the streets of London once again this weekend and in a complete turn around to my 'Winter Dreaming' blog post it re-kindled my love for winter dressing. The trendies were out in force, proving that there is 'snow' (excuse the pun, I couldn't resist), reason not to look good during this extreme weather.
I shall be uploading my favourites for the duration of this week. Starting with this guy, who's fearless use of fur kept him warm and unique during one freezing afternoon on Brick Lane.
I love the use of red in this girl's outfit. Her whimsical and mysterious pale skin looks great with the tone of the coat and is set off with the bold red. It's a confident statement and not something that could be pulled off by everyone.

Communication M1
Extracts from this document...
Communication Cycle in Difficult, Complex and Sensitive Situations 3) Develop your communication cycle to include an explanation of how the communication cycle may be used to communicate difficult, complex and sensitive issues. (M1) The communication cycle is a set of 6 stages that have to all be completed to ensure effective communication between people. Communication is a natural process and is easy for someone that has speech, hearing and eyesight. It is slightly more complex for those that have not got all 3 main communication skills but there are ways around them such as Braille and Sign Language. In certain situations the communication cycle can have extra stages added in to it or taken away. This is because some circumstances have to be carefully thought over and you must watch and listen to everything that is happening while trying to communicate effectively or that you have not listened to what has been said completely and judged to soon. Example Your name is Sarah. You work in a children's hospice where a 2 year old girl is living on end-of-life care. ...read more.
Sarah: From a medical point of view, yes, because she is in pain, but I cannot make this decision for you sir. Paul: I just don't know if I can cope without her, she's my life. Sarah: I can't stress enough for how sorry I am for you; we do have bereavement support for anyone that wishes to use it after they lose somebody for as long as you need. Paul: Ok, if it's best for her, I don't want my little girl to be in pain, I would never keep her alive for myself if I knew she was hurting. Sarah: No, of course not. I will go and get the papers and let the Doctor know. You can stay with her. Paul: Thank you. Paul is in disbelief at first, unable to come to terms with the situation, in denial asking whether she will ever wake up. Sarah knows what he wants to hear but cannot lie to him, so she tells him there is a very slim chance. She thinks about what she will say next, as she can tell he will get angered from her response whatever she says. ...read more.
This communication barrier looks like: Someone in a difficult, complex or sensitive situation may probe questions to help them understand and get more information. Questions that could be asked could consist of 'what are the disadvantages to this?', 'Could you explain that again please?' and 'what exactly are you going to do to me?' (Changing Minds) Reflective listening also helps people feel more relaxed because you are taking an interest into what they are saying. There are many different techniques to reflective listening, some easier than others. An easy method to use is repeating certain words that they have said, for example, the person says 'I can't do this anymore, its making me depressed.' You could then reply with 'what's making you depressed?' This shows you have been listening to them and that you are interested in them. (Skills for Life Improvement Programme) Another method of reflective listening can help if the person is finding it hard to express their feelings, by verifying the meaning to what they have said can help you get an understanding into what they are telling you. An example of this would be if the person was telling you about a difficult situation and keep stuttering their words, you could help them by rephrasing what they said. ...read more.

Compositional Strategies
Emily Clark
|Composition is the start of the photographic process on the creative side. As the photographer, you are a designer; you make decisions about what to include in your photographs. On the technical side, you start with light which is the raw material for your image and work with the exposure controls.
Composition is the placement of elements within the restriction of the frame of the photo. On a 35mm camera this is a rectangle. The trick is to decide at what to point the camera.
A photo has two main parts. First is the subject; what we decide to photograph. Second is the treatment or how that subject is arranged within the frame.
STRATEGY 1Perhaps the most important guide for composition is called the RULE OF THIRDS. When the frame is divided into three parts horizontally and vertically we get the arrangement shown below.
The lines of intersection are ideal placement points for the dominant element in our photo; the part of the photo that attracts our attention. We call that the center of interest or subject. Each photo should have such a point....if there is nothing that attracts your attention then the photo does not communicate as well.
Subject placement can also be placed along one of the thirds to be effective. The horizon line should be placed on the thirds line and never in the center if it is visible.
This is a photo example of Thirds. Notice that the dot represents the part of the photo our eye comes to rest on...this part of the photo is in contrast in color and shape to the rest of the photo and thus attracts more attention.
STRATEGY 2Pay attention to lines in your photo:
• Lines can be actual lines from a road or fence, or from an arrangement of objects such as these cars.
• Lines that are horizontal or flat tend to be peaceful and reduce the excitement of a photo.
• Diagonal lines make a photo have a feeling of action or excitement.
• Many times a movie producer will tilt the reality of the scene by tilting the camera to throw the balance off and make a viewer feel the tension or action.
Below, the larger truck placed on the DIAGONAL LINES to attract attention. Notice how it was placed on the thirds.
Lauren Wrobleski
STRATEGY 3CURVED LINES also are important. ANY line in the photo adds to the composition feel, here we see curved lines made by the arms of the swimmer add to the feeling of peacefulness. Notice how the face is placed in the thirds line.
Molly Dugas
|Emma Turreff
STRATEGY 4Another example of LINES is LEADING LINES. The lines made by the freeway overpass draw our eye INTO the photo and off toward the ending point where the white dot was placed.
Lauren Wrobleski
STRATEGY 5Another strategy, is the use of FRAMING. Look around for natural and man-made frames that help lead the viewers eye into the photographer.
Lauren Wrobleski
STRATEGY 6REPETITION OF ELEMENTS is a strategy that adds interest to the photo by looking for patterns that repeat. Point of view/perspective is essential in creating a successful photographs with repetition.
Emma Tureff
Emma Tureff
STRATEGY 7The MOTION of our subject is where the composition meets the technical. Here we find the shutter controls motion on our photo. If the shutter is fast (like 500 or 1000) the motion is frozen and if it is slow like 60 or less the motion becomes a blur. Each has its effect on the final photo. The important part is that the photographer has decided in advance how the photo will look.
Emma Tureff
Motion Frozen
Molly Dugas
| Alex Craig
Motion Blurred
When the shutter is set to a fast speed like 250 - 500 - 1000 the camera is not getting much light - the aperture will then need to be set to a wider setting letting in more light in order to get an exposure. The result....less depth of field and a background that becomes less clear.
STRATEGY 8The final technical concern in composition is in the BACKGROUND. Is there an object that is right behind our subject that might look like it is MERGING or growing out of our subject? Is the background needed or not. Here we see two ways to do it - include it or simplify it.
Lindsey Purpura
Background simplified
Lindsey Purpura
Alex Craig
Background Included
Lauren Wrobleski
The APERTURE controls the background, although most cameras will only show you the simplified view when you focus. NOW the aperture works with the shutter to control light and exposure.
Background is simplified or made less sharp by a wide open aperture like f 2, f4 or f 5.6. Close pictures or a telephoto lens make the effect more dramatic. By setting our shutter to a high number the aperture is forced to a LOW number and depth is reduced. By putting our shutter to a LOW number the aperture is forced HIGH and depth is increased. The two controls work together.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 23, 2010; D01
SARASOTA, FLA. -- There is hope around the Baltimore Orioles this spring, more hope than has been present for the franchise in years. It is there in the deep collection of dazzling young arms, in the graceful movements of Matt Wieters, the towering catcher and recent Sports Illustrated cover boy. You can now find opposing scouts and executives, and not just those employed by the Orioles, who tout the team's prospects and praise its vision. It is this way by design, as team president Andy MacPhail has taken an orange-and-black sledgehammer to the stale, stalled roster he inherited in June 2007, and has rebuilt it around young pitching.
Only three players on the team's 25-man roster at the time of MacPhail's hiring remain in Baltimore: second baseman Brian Roberts, right fielder Nick Markakis and third baseman Miguel Tejada, who was traded and later reacquired by MacPhail.
Whereas once the Orioles tried to buy their core (remember the disastrous 1999 spending spree that brought Albert Belle, Delino DeShields, Mike Timlin, Will Clark and Heathcliff Slocumb to Baltimore?) and fill in the gaps with homegrown "prospects" (remember Calvin Pickering? Matt Riley? Luis Matos?), now MacPhail does just the opposite.
Now, the Orioles' core is as impressive as any in baseball. It includes not only Wieters, Roberts and Markakis, but also center fielder Adam Jones, third base prospect Josh Bell and a half-dozen or so young pitchers led by lefty Brian Matusz, who has created a buzz among scouts this spring with his four-pitch repertoire and poise.
"The best young pitcher I saw in Florida all spring," raved a scout from a National League team about Matusz. (Nationals fans will be happy to hear that the scout did not get a chance to see Stephen Strasburg).
Around that core, MacPhail has smartly filled in the gaps with veterans on short-term contracts. This winter, his haul included Tejada, starting pitcher Kevin Millwood, first baseman Garrett Atkins and closer Mike Gonzalez. Only Gonzalez is signed beyond 2010.
"Any team needs to have a group coming up through the [farm] system to populate the big league club," MacPhail said. "We needed to populate our foundation. We made a huge amount of progress in that, but we still need to continue to do it."
But if this is what represents hope in Baltimore, it must carry this caveat: It's not the same kind of hope that other promising franchises have. Most other teams open the season with a 0-0 record, tied for first place, with nothing but possibilities ahead of them.
The Orioles, on the other hand, seemingly start every season in fourth place and are tasked with proving, against enormous odds, they are better than that. And inevitably, they are not. Such is the reality of life in the outrageously stacked American League East division. At the moment, only the Toronto Blue Jays, among baseball's 29 other teams, can relate.
"I'd like to be 6-foot-3 and have a full head of hair," Manager Dave Trembley said, when asked if he ever wished the Orioles were in another division. "You can hope and dream all you want. But the fact of the matter is, I'm not 6-3, I don't have a full head of hair and we're in the American League East."
Only once in the past 12 seasons have the Orioles finished better than fourth -- a third-place showing in 2004. And in a couple of weeks they start another season in which it seems all but impossible to climb any higher.
You could argue, and not get much debate, that the three best teams in baseball in 2010 all reside in the AL East. The Boston Red Sox (2007), Tampa Bay Rays (2008) and New York Yankees (2009) were the AL's last three representatives in the World Series, and they figure to engage in a neck-and-neck-and-neck race this year. There isn't a whole lot of room for an interloper; in 2008, Toronto valiantly won 86 games and finished fourth.
Perhaps, then, real hope for the Orioles means something else. Perhaps it revealed itself in a recent story on SI.com that Commissioner Bud Selig's "special committee for on-field matters" was kicking around an idea for radical, "floating" realignment in which teams could switch divisions based on their payrolls and geography. Presumably, it would get the Orioles out of the AL East, at least some years.
MacPhail, a member of Selig's 14-person committee, smiled dreamily when asked about the realignment idea.
"On a purely selfish basis, [the idea is] hardly going to get any opposition from me," MacPhail said. "But those things are not things that are on the immediate horizon, or even close to it. Complaining about the division, I worry that it becomes an excuse for not improving the team. Let's improve the team. We'll let someone else worry about that other stuff. Let's just make the Baltimore Orioles better."
For MacPhail and the Orioles, the process of getting better has been slow and painful. Last year saw the big league debuts of not only Wieters and Matusz, but also five other pitchers who spent time in the Orioles' rotation: right-handers Chris Tillman, Brad Bergesen, Jason Berken, David Hernandez and Koji Uehara, a veteran of Japanese baseball. At any given time, their rotation typically consisted of veteran Jeremy Guthrie and four rookies.
The lessons they absorbed were often brutally applied -- over the course of 98 losses -- but invaluable all the same.
"We were just trying to get our feet wet, feel our way around," Tillman said. "This year it's more about the result. This year, it's not a rebuilding team anymore."
Tillman does an admirable job of distilling the company line, which is: This year, it's not about learning -- it's about winning.
"We introduced a good group of players last year, but we didn't show any collective progress," MacPhail said. "This year I'd like the needle to move in that regard."
Trembley added: "What we've done here is player development at the major league level. I think we need to turn the corner on that and turn that individual progress into team progress."
Still, any notion of progress and any concept of a ceiling for the Orioles is informed by the unforgiving nature of their surroundings: the AL East. Certainly, a .500 record would be progress. But then what? Can they contend in 2011 in this division? If the Rays can do it on a bare-bones payroll, surely the Orioles can, right?
"I think it's cool being in this division," Tillman, all of 21 years old, said. "Obviously it's a tough division, but I take it as a challenge."
But then this fact is pointed out to Tillman: Of the 287 starts Roy Halladay made during the 11 years he spent with the Toronto Blue Jays (before being traded to Philadelphia this past winter), fully a quarter of them, 73 to be exact, came against the Yankees and Red Sox.
Suddenly, Tillman's face went blank except for his eyes widening in shock. All he could muster was two words: "Holy smokes."

2015-16 Women's Basketball
#21 Bluffton 81, Hanover 71
February 20, 2016
By: Ryan Schadewald, sports information assistant
HANOVER, Ind. - The #21 Bluffton University women's basketball team made history as they clinched a share of their first ever Heartland Conference title with an 81-71 road win over Hanover College on Saturday, Feb. 20. It marked Bluffton's first victory at Hanover since 2006. The win caps a superb regular season that finished at 23-2 overall and 16-2 in conference play. 23 wins in a season shatters the school record (18), as does their 16 HCAC wins (12) and their unblemished 12-0 home mark. Hanover fell to 9-16 overall and 5-13 in the HCAC. Following the Bluffton victory, Lady Luck was riding on the side of the Beavers as a coin toss to determine the #3 seed went the way of Franklin, ensuring Bluffton of the #1 seed and rights to host the HCAC semi-finals and championship game next weekend!
Bluffton scored six straight markers after Hanover opened with a freebie, as the Beavers took a 6-1 lead just over two minutes in. Hanover scored five in a row to tie it right back at 6-6. The teams went back and forth to finish the stanza. Bluffton led by as many as five late in the period, but the lead was just 21-19 after the first.
The Beavers opened the second on an 8-0 spurt, with Kaycee Rowe (Harrod/Allen East) and Macey Sheerer (Bucyrus) scoring on back-to-back possessions. Rowe added another bucket and Rachel Beining (Ottoville) hit a deuce to finish the run, giving the visitors a 29-19 lead at the 6:11 mark. The Beaver lead was 35-26 when Hanover would rattle off five straight tallies to get it back to a 35-31 game. A bucket from Abby Jerger (Middletown/Madison) pushed Bluffton's lead back to six before Hanover scored the final four points of the half to make it 39-37 at the break.
The visitors came out hot in the third period, scoring 10 of the quarter's first 14 markers, seeing their lead mushroom to 51-41 with 6:28 left in the quarter. Bluffton would stay around double figures for the remainder of the period, going up 11 on a late bucket from Abigail O'Donnell (Arcanum) before Ashley Malloy beat the buzzer for the Panthers to make it a 65-56 game entering the final period.
Bluffton blew the game open to start the fourth quarter, going on a 9-1 spurt that began with a layup by Sheerer, and then saw Rowe score seven straight points for the Beavers, making it 74-57 with 5:05 to play. Hanover would hang around by outscoring the Beavers 14-5 to sneak back to within eight points inside the final minute, but it was too late as Taylor Whitaker(Mansfield/Lexington) sealed it with two free throws to give Bluffton their first-ever HCAC title!
The Beavers shot the ball well, converting 32-of-68 (47.1 percent) from the floor and 68.2 percent (15-of-22) from the line. They did struggle from deep, shooting just 2-of-11 (18.2 percent). The Panthers finished the contest 26-of-69 (37.7 percent) from the floor and just 2-of-14 (14.3 percent) from beyond the arc. Bluffton destroyed Hanover on the boards, 51-32, but committed 24 turnovers compared to Hanover's 18.
Bluffton finished with three in double figures, led by Kaycee Rowe, who capped her fourth career double-double with 24 points on 10-of-15 from the floor to go along with her 11 rebounds and team-high three steals. Macey Sheerer also garnered a double-double with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 13 rebounds, while Rachel Beining finished with 12 counters and 13 boards. It marked the first time in Bluffton women's history that three Beavers have put up double-doubles in the same game!
The Panthers were led by Allison Nash with 21 points and 10 boards, while Maci Maupin added 11 markers. Hanover will miss out on the HCAC tournament for the first time since 2006-07.
With the coin landing Ben Franklin side up, Franklin assumed the #3 seed in the HCAC tourney and by virtue of Bluffton's sweep of the Grizzlies, the route to the HCAC championship will run through Beaver country! Bluffton will play the winner of Tuesday night's Transylvania/Mount St. Joseph contest at 6 p.m. in the Sommer Center on Friday, Feb. 26. #2 seeded Rose-Hulman tips against the winner of Franklin and Defiance at approximately 8 p.m. The championship game is slated for 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27. Come out and make some noise next weekend as the Beavers look to earn their first-ever NCAA tournament berth! Watch for tournament updates this week on the Bluffton women's basketball schedule page. Go Beavers!

Over the past four centuries the population of the world has increased tenfold, rising from about 580 million persons in 1600 to slightly over six billion in 2000 (Biraben,1979; United Nations, 2001a). Most of that growth occurred during the 20th century when the population nearly quadrupled (Fig. 5.1). Thus, whereas it took three centuries – from 1600 to 1900 – for the population to increase from 0.6 billion to 1.6 billion, between 1900 and 2000 a further 4.4 billion persons were added to the world population. Such rapid population growth, unprecedented in human history, resulted largely from the major reductions of mortality that occurred during the 20th century. Between 1900 and 2000, life expectancy at the world level nearly doubled, reaching 65.5 years by the end of the century. Almost universally mortality reductions preceded changes in fertility. In populations where mortality had been traditionally high, women had to bear large numbers of children to ensure that enough of them survived to adulthood. As mortality declined, populations did not immediately adjust their fertility levels to match the reduced risks of death. As a result, populations grew rapidly when high fertility persisted even as mortality declined. The more developed countries of today were the first to experience sustained declines of mortality. Starting in the 18th century, better hygiene and improving standards of living contributed to reduce mortality rates in those countries. Between 1750 and 1850, for instance, life expectancy in a number of European countries increased from 25 years to 35 years (Vallin, 1989) and during the 19th century, as mortality reductions accelerated, a widespread fertility decline began as well. Although even for Europe the data available on fertility trends over the 19th century are partial, it would appear that fertility in the continent declined from about 5–5.5 births per woman in the early part of the 19th century to about four children per woman in the early part of the 20th century (Clark, 1968). The process whereby reductions of mortality are followed by reductions of fertility sufficient to ensure that overall population growth remains low is known as the demo-graphic transition. During the 20th century, most developing countries embarked on the demographic transition. Indeed, with the discovery of antibiotics and other means

to combat the spread of the infectious diseases endemic in developing countries, rapid reductions of mortality were achieved in those countries after 1945–1950. As in the more developed countries earlier, the continuation of high fertility as mortality declined gave rise to very rapid population growth, but fertility reductions in the developing world have been occurring more rapidly than in the more developed countries. The availability of modern contraceptives has facilitated such developments. By the end of the 20th century, most developing countries had initiated the transition to lower fertility. According to United Nations (2001a) estimates, by 1995–2000 only 16 developing countries had not yet shown signs of a fertility reduction and they comprised just 3% of the world's population. Not only did the 20th century witness a rapid rise of population but, in addition, it saw the distribution of the population between rural and urban areas change dramatically. Indeed, although the existence of populous cities with urban attributes dates back several centuries if not millennia depending on the region under consideration, the vast majority of the world's population has lived in rural settings during most of human history. Even as late as 1800, only 5% of the world population lived in urban areas and by 1900 that proportion had increased to just over 13% (United Nations, 1980). But over the course of the 20th century the proportion urban more than tripled, reaching 47% by 2000 (Fig. 5.2). The process of widespread urbanization started earlier in the more developed regions than in the developing world. Already by 1900 one out of every four inhabitants of more developed countries was an urban dweller whereas in the developing world the equivalent proportion was one in fifteen. Although levels of urbanization have risen markedly in developing countries, by 2000 less-developed regions are still about half as urbanized as more-developed regions. Thus, whereas 76% of the population of the latter lives in cities, just 40% of the population of less-developed countries is made of urban dwellers. This chapter describes in more detail the evolution of the size and growth of the world population and the dynamics of the process of urbanization in the major regions

of the world since 1950. It also discusses future prospects and their implications. The data presented were derived from the 2000 Revision of estimates and projections of national populations prepared by the United Nations Population Division (United Nations, 2001a,b) and from the 1999 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects (United Nations, 2001c). To ensure consistency between the two sets of data, estimates and projections of the urban and rural populations were derived using the national populations produced by the 2000 Revision and the proportions residing in urban areas as estimated and projected by the 1999 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects.

The old saying in business to "leave it at the door" can be easier said than done. Although it sounds nice and good, personal problems, health issues and more don't just simply disappear when your employee walks in to begin their workday.
In fact, when an employee is dealing with personal problems outside of work, heading into work usually adds additional layer of stress and complication. They not only have they own stressful situation brewing on the outside, but now they have the additional stress of "the job."
So what ends up happening is that this usually brings about one of two outcomes. The employee will come to work, but ends up spending much of their time focusing on their personal problem, which affects their production, their attention to detail, their work attitude and much more. Or the second outcome is that they simply miss work and run up an excessive amount of absenteeism because they can't function or cope with situation.
Don't let this happen to your company or business!

Hello! how are you all?
Hope you've all had a good crafty week, I've mostly been working on my WIPs, particularly on my crochet socks. I was adamant that I wouldn't start another project till I finished one of my smaller projects, and as I had signed up to a Dyecandy CAL which some of the group have already finished I needed to get a wiggle on!!
Well finally I've finished them last night (why is it though, that WIPs take longer to finish when your desperate to start a new project?!) incidentally I also seem to have finished them when we're having another really hot day!
I won't go on too much as I've already written about this pattern in a previous blog post, but just to say I learnt that going up a hook size isn't always the best plan and that these socks will definitely be winter/PJ day socks!
What do you think? The yarn is completely the other end of the spectrum when it comes to my palette but really wanted something different. The yarn is from Oh, For Hooks Sake, a lovely UK Indie Dyer from up north.
Last Saturday I headed off to Yarningham, a Birmingham based yarn show held at Stirchley Baths. In its 2nd year this show was just as good, if not better than the last, they had some amazing fibre artists and all manner of paraphernalia to meet your yarny needs. I went along with my friend, once we arrived it was already really busy, it was certainly time to bring out the elbows, I did find it tough to get a closer look in some of the stalls and I didn't do a good job of taking any photos!
Whilst there I took a modest budget and blew it as soon as I hit the Yarnisty stall where I brought a yarn bangle (these are handmade by Emma's very talented other half) and when I visited Jo Knit Sew. Where I brought pants and yarn (what an awesome combo!!!). I also signed up to her 30 Shades Club after falling in love with her blanket on display!
Hope you all have a great week, let me know what your WIPs are!

If you are one of the many artists, designers or makers opening their studio this year, make the most of it and get some business advice.
Use the event to promote your work
Set up a mailing list and a newsgroup and contact everyone you know, inviting them to your event. The most successful Open Studios are the ones that promote their own individual event. Write a piece for your local village newsletter. You could provide a one-off incentive like a special discount for that day, as well as pre-booked demonstrations and talks about your work. Refreshments (private view style) in the garden work well if you have the resources.
There is no need to spend loads of money on framing - it is a huge outlay. You can have a few pieces framed as examples if you don't have the funds. Prints and drawings can be hung on bulldog clips.
You should be given signs. These are to put up on the approach roads and at your venue. Access to venues varies. If you do not think that this is enough, take the initiative and get more done yourself. You could also buy some bright ribbons or bunting to put up at the gate to attract attention.
The exhibition itself
The exhibition needs to be up to view the night before you open ¢ please don't leave things to the last minute. Show the work at its best, with clear backup information (e.g. CVs, statements, press cuttings file and articles on you and your work) and clear labelling.
Invigilating your show
Make sure that you are there with the work all the time, 9.30am-5pm. If you have to pop out, arrange for cover.
Pricing and product
Have a broad selection that covers different price points, e.g. some little cards, small drawings, prints and then canvases if you are an artist. This creates something to suit every pocket.
Price everything very clearly ¢ sometimes potential customers do not like to ask how much things are. If you have smaller items like cards, put up a little sign with an honesty box so that people can pay without interrupting you if you are talking to people.
Managing cash
Make sure that you have a float in a tin to give change to customers.
Business cards/post cards
Always leave contact details at the side so that people can contact you at a later date.
Talk to people
Events like this are billed as a chance for the public to meet the artists, designers and makers and talk to them about their work. You will make sales if you talk to people about the work and the processes involved.
Pricing and offering a deal
Always set prices at what they would be in a gallery/retail outlet, especially if you have had a recent show. Keep this retail price consistent if you have them available in more than one place. How would you feel if you had bought a piece of art through a dealer and then saw it for half the price in an open studio exhibition? Do deals on old work, back stock or damaged items that you have had trouble shifting.
Buying in instalments
If a customer is unsure about such a huge outlay or cannot afford to buy a work that they really love, why not say that they are welcome to buy in instalments? For example, a large canvass costs Ż2,000. Let your customer put the painting on their wall and then they can pay for this @ Ż166.67 per month over 1 year, or Ż83.33 per month over 2 years or even Ż55.56 per month over 3 years ¢ interest free. Just give them your bank details and keep a record of payments.
If the client is unsure about whether it would look right in the room
Offer to take the work to their home and they can 'try before they buy' for a month.
Painting rental
There is huge potential to rent your work as art for offices, hotels, hospitals and public spaces. The advantage to the company renting the work is that they do not have a huge outlay and they can change the displays year after year, thus creating a vibrant environment for employees.
Mailing lists
When you get new visitors through the door, always take their name, address, email and telephone number so that you can invite them to future exhibitions. Every contact should be valued. You could use a visitor's book for this, inviting feedback. The event organisers should be collecting emails so that they can promote the next open studios event.
Good luck with your open studio ¢ I hope you meet some lovely people.

Classroom Procedures for SVAE Grades 8
2017-2018 School Year
When you get to school in the morning you are to:
Tardy Procedures:
If you arrive after 8:20 come in and go quietly to your desk and participate in worship. When worship is finished get ready for the day.
Worship begins at 8:20. During worship you are to be an active listener and participant. It is not a time for doing homework, talking, walking around the classroom, etc. This is our special time with God as we begin the day and interruptions take away from its specialness. Each morning we will take prayer requests.
Your papers are to have the following written in the top right corner:
If your paper doesn't have a proper heading it will be returned.
Make sure that all assignments are written in pencil or erasable ink. I will tell you which assignments are to be written in cursive and in complete sentences.
***Half credit will be given for those written in permanent pen and for those who don't put their names on their assignments.****
When you finish an assignment turn it into the appropriate paper tray located on the counter.
When you are asked to turn in your papers, pass them to the left and the paper collector will pick up the papers and put them in the proper paper tray.
When your assignments are graded and returned, put it in your returned paper folder. Keep your papers until the Weekly Update is handed out on Friday so that if Mr. Miller has made a mistake you will have proof that you completed the assignment. Take home your graded papers on Friday.
What to do when you are finished with an assignment:
What not to do when you are finished with your work:
You are to bring a water bottle to school so that you will have water available at your desk. Students will not be able to leave the room to get water.
The hallways are to be quiet at all times. Why? We don't want to interrupt the learning of those who are in class. It's important to remember that not everyone is able to concentrate as well as you. Quiet means, no talking.
Please show maturity to follow the school dress code. For those who choose to do otherwise, they will be sent to the office until they are dressed properly.
3:10 clean-up procedure before you go home
Take all of your belongings with you as you leave the classroom. We are to go to the end of the outside sidewalk and wait as a group for your ride. If you aren't picked up by 3:25 you can wait inside with after school care until you are picked up.
Phone Usage
The phone in the classroom is for teacher usage, not for students, unless you have permission. When given permission you will take the phone pass to the office so Mrs. Reedy knows you have permission to call.
Each week different students will have classroom jobs to do. This is our classroom and our school. We are responsible for part of the clean up around the school. If is your responsibility to make sure that your job gets done at the appropriate time.
When you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to ask your teachers what work you missed. If you are absent one day you will have one day to make up your work. If you are absent two days you have two days to make up your work, etc.
The letter grades are based on the following:
Remember that Mr. Miller doesn't give grades, YOU earn them.


text: Being in the shop, this last week, has given me some insight to what some of our customers are going to find under the tree on Christmas morning! I won't give anything away but I expect there will be a lot of happy cyclists on Tuesday. Santa and his elves are being extra generous this year! Of course there will the usual little pink bikes with baskets and streamers, colorful helmets, and camel baks under the tree. There are some great stocking stuffers too; like Resource Revivals recycled chain picture frames, warm winter cycling gloves, and numerous fancy bike tools and pumps. But a few lucky ones will be getting gifts that won't fit in a stocking. Santa's elves have been busy picking out some of the latest and greatest in 2008 bikes for some very good boys and girls! Here is a little hint: MADONEs.….Top Fuel 69ers…..Equinox TTX 9.5…Hifi GSs! I wonder how Santa will get these down the chimney?

Eric drove most of the way, Maya slept soundly, and I drifted in and out of consciousness and felt good enough to drive that last three hours while Eric snored. Perhaps this drive was not a great idea, because both Eric and I were exhausted when we got home and I did not feel like doing much. Eric made an appointment with the Apple store (again) to have his phone replaced (the fourth one I think) and my computer needs major repairs at great cost, but perhaps worth it because buying a new one is far more expensive. I pushed myself to take a ninety minute hot yoga class to start sweating off the results of all the yummy food we have been eating. When I got home, Eric was napping, Maya was reading Harry Potter and I found myself less enthusiastic about packing up the house ( a familiar feeling). We have developed a pattern whereby when I am eager to work, Eric wants to rest, when he is ready to go, I find other more important things to do, somehow we are not in tune when it comes to the house. We have no choice this weekend, I would think, but we are both so tired, we are rather useless. I did get ten boxes of books packed away and am most of the way through the CDs. Yes, I still have oodles of CDs, and in my parents' house I have boxes of LPs (records) which I think will never be used again. I still have a 20 year old Bang adn Olafson stereo, which looks great and I am not yet ready to retire. However, in Ecuador I plan to educate myself with regard to the internet and use the ipod and computer for music, which I have not yet done.
My sister found a remarkable music program in Venezuela called 'La Systema' which teaches children classical instruments and to play in a symphony. The children have grown into quite amazing musicians and have been a hit all over the world, and of course I wanted to know if there was something similar in Ecuador, and there is an Ecuador Youth Symphony Orchestra, which I must try to contact. Odd that when we were visiting with Maya, I asked so many people about what was available for Maya, and no one mentioned how much music is actually happening there. I did run into a clarinetist from Texas who was visiting and helping improve the symphony along with a Swiss conductor, but I have misplaced his card and will have to pursue that when I get there. I did visit two conservatories, but no one mentioned the youth symphony. A woman from my pilates class had a niece who played the cello in the Ecuadorian symphony for a year and emailed me some contacts. I am feeling more hopeful about the possibilities. We see Maya's teacher for the first time in many weeks tomorrow, and so far seh has not been positive about our move and its impact on Maya's violin, but I am more and more confident that we will find what we need, or at least something that will open up possibilities for Maya and her music. She is remarkably devoted to her violin and tells my sister she plans to be a violinist when she grows up. There is an excellent music school at McGill, so Maya has already decided that she will go to college in Montreal.
We are moving to Ecuador in a month or so! This is it! I have said good-bye to my parents and my sisters and most of my patients and the house is rented and the dog is placed; it is so very strange to come home to a house without a dog to greet us. First I noticed that the lawn is growing back and looks green and healthy without a dog doing his thing all over, and the house is empty and quiet and missing part of its soul. Maya seemed a little unsettled today, although it may also be because she is reading the fourth Harry Potter book after reading the third one about seven times during our trip to Canada. I miss Elmer, although I know he is perfectly happy at the Benichous and getting alot of attention and adjusting. I miss his presence, his greeting when I come home, and I like having to worry about him getting his exercise and enough love from us. Maya wanted to visit him, but I am not sure that is good for him or for her.
Skype and videochat is part of our lives. I spoke to Tara in Italy and my parents in Canada. My mother seems to be less negative about the technology and my father is still excited about it. Maya seems unimpressed; it is simply part of her life today and not particularly special. I expect that to be a daily event in our lives to Ecuador.

Operation Under Construction...
Yes. Sadly, I was quite unsuccessful in doing the revamping to my blog that I was planning on doing! I did change my background though (as you can see). Turns out that Hot Bliggity Blog has some very cute and original backgrounds! Shabby Blogs also has nice designs, so we'll see what the final decision is! I was also planning on changing the format and the header after an idea was sparked to use my own pictures after seeing what Jen did on her blog I Believe in Love with pixlr. I was going with a rendering I found of Vibia Perpetua, changing it up here and there as well as inserting a picture of my own, but much to my dismay I forgot to save it! Alas. 'Twas not meant to be...

Ahh, so glad I inspired you but sorry it didn't work! I used http://www.mylivesignature.com/ for my signature. If you go to settings and then formatting, you can paste the html in the post template section and it will automatically show up on every post. Hope that helps!ReplyDelete
I love reading other people's adventures with html :-DReplyDelete
Mine is primarily cut and paste ... and then attempt to modify but usually mess up :-D
I really like your blog background. Is it a preset or did you do it?
LOL I am not quite html-savvy so it definitely is an adventure! Yeah, when I try to modify formats and stuff, I usually end up desperately searching around for the "undo" button, hehe. &&thanks!! Definitely didn't do this myself lol, all credit to hotbliggityblog! All I had to do was copy and paste the code into blogger. :) 1ReplyDelete

Yesterday in the mail I received three books I had ordered through The Book Depository .
It is a site in the United Kingdom that has most books at a fraction of the price I would normally pay and it is free delivery all around the world.
I got The Hiding Place,Tramp for the Lord and In My Father's House all written by Corrie ten Boom.
I had borrowed the Hiding Place from our Church Library and liked it so much I wanted to keep it for myself as I know I will reread it and lend it out. There are a couple of quotes in her book that I wanted to highlight too. I also wanted the set of the three Corrie wrote about her life, so to speak.
They cost £7.19 each which converted was $NZ15.20. To purchase the book in a shop in New Zealand it would have been $NZ 29.99, so buying them through this site was nearly half price plus the free delivery so saving petrol. It took 9 days from when I ordered on line for them to arrive in my letterbox each individually packed in a bubble wrap packet and I also got a free bookmark.
I will probably get a lot more books through them as I found them a superb site and service.
Now to get reading some more.
